i hate photos, im shy. that and my wardrobe isnt all that good atm.

the viridi anne was thinner than i thought it would be but it will make an awesome layering piece once i get more pieces. due to this im still not sure if i can pull it off, so it will just sit in my wardrobe for now...waiting for more fashionz.

[Tyro1]

sounds like it may be perfect for this time of year though. I'm always feeling cold then hot in this weather...

[DJI]

yeah I'm looking forward to the cold weather, can layer up. this moderate weather is annoying, especially when it's cold in the morning but 25+ by the afternoon.

[wept]

when i was studying in the CBD i found it extremely cold during the winter. It was bone numbing. As D stated the weather is weird in the city.

[seksu!]

haha, +rep T.

they said either this afternoon or tomorrow morning Ivan. they had the sheep pelt vest in too, very nice and soft if anyone here thinks they can pull it off . also it seems they are only making the one mens leather jacket this season, as well as a leather shirt. the leather bomber will be a slimmer cut with ribbed cuffs, probably the same as the ones on the womens lookbook.

mental note: gotta check out the leather jacket and bomber when they get in...

also, has anyone seen/handled this zambesi leather jacket posted before?

is it even instore yet?

fit looks spot on. hopefully construction, quality, price etc are nice too...

[DJI]

leather looks too shiny and perfect, makes it look a bit cheap imo.

[034936]

so you finnnaalllyyy posted a waywt. about time.

edit: looks really great btw!

[DJI]

haha, I heard all the cool kids were doing it

[Tyro1]

I think I asked before with pretty dismal results, but is anyone an AFL fan?

[wept]

not really but im tempted to follow it more this year as ive been a richmond supporter since i was 4. Who do you support Tyro?

[Tyro1]

carlton, will be at the game on thursday, time for you to choose another team

are you serrrrrrious? close up it's super rough:

Rougher than CM leather IMO.

www.pitbullmansion.com have heaps on new CON stuff!

[50_lions]

I go for North Melbourne... have my membership already... will go to a few gamezz

[DJI]

that's just because it's a super close up dude, any genuine leather will have a degree of grain to it. I just prefer leather with a more visible grain, if it looks too perfect it can look almost plasticky.

[50_lions]

mmmm not sure, when the new CM leather comes in I look forward to comapring the two. I gather from the name the zambesi jacket is made of Deer leather.

i was invited to that game but cant go due to work. should be a good one.

[seksu!]

oh wow, just realised that that zambesi show wasnt from the LMFF but from awhile ago

will have to scope the store sometime to see if its there

edit:

btw 50, you are right. it is deer leather

[jcotteri]

tyro i want to rep the shit out of you...

edit: not rape

edit edit: too much sake

hey D! sweet man, though your neck looks hella long..

might inspire me... maybe

[DJI]

haha it kinda is, thanks for noticing J . my head was turned to the side during the shot too so that probably didn't help.

presumably the shots are from the NZ fashion week. zambesi did present at LMFF, however they only showed one mens look.

[wept]

melvin. heres a fit pick of the VA hoodie. please ignore the following shit-tastic things:

* its taken in a bathroom

* I don't have a tripod

* i cant be fagged fixing the camera settings so its a better shot.

* ignore all of my other clothes.

All in all its a purchase i think ill keep. it stacks nicely on the wrists and its kind of a blend between a cardi and a hoodie.

[Pandemonium]

is it a big hoody? dem oversized hoodies are so kewl.

[wept]

its big but not huge. it would prob come to eyeline and cover the forhead if you wanted. its a very loose hood and the structure of it, as in the seems, are something different than what im use to.

[st_]

I think I asked before with pretty dismal results, but is anyone an AFL fan?

YES. C'arn the Tiges. Should be a good game, but I'm pretty confident the Tigers will get up. Hopefully Cuz and Judd actually get some time on one another.

not really but im tempted to follow it more this year as ive been a richmond supporter since i was 4. Who do you support Tyro?

lol get on board, there is still plenty of room on the bandwagon.

[Tyro1]

but I'm pretty confident the Tigers will get up.

[st_]

Haha. Ahhh, footy season - so glad it's back.

[ikwhy]

i've been with the cats since i was 10...

[Tyro1]

Cats will dominate again this year. The grand final rematch will be awesome - the cats are massive chokers though

hahaha one page of afl boganisms is allowed out of 175 pages of melbourne talk.

[wept]

this question is really for DJI but someone else might know the answer. It seems that pitbull mansion is stocking the canvas version of the CoN save the world bag? Does this also mean the leather version will be restocked this season/year? If so, where to cop?

and as a general question, what are the best melbourne stores to hit up for new CoN gear.

[Tyro1]

FAT usually has the biggest selection, they had the canvas duffle last season.

[wept]

i thought fat would be best. the one in chastone was lackluster last time i went. ill have to go into the city store/s soon.
