anywhere local getting the neck-strapped bomber? when's the linesheet available?

[fenrost]

^ second that.

ha...just yesterday i noticed that store is now opened in melbourne central. i dont see any acne jeans tho.

[DJI]

hopefully the line sheets will be up on bt's site in the next few days home. fat is the only local retailer and I don't think they'll be buying any other stock this season.

if anyone with a size 30" waist wants some DRKSHDW jeans hit me up

[melvin7]

you're killing me damien.

do these fit bigger than the JR hoboken u sold me? i dont have a tape measurer atm

[DJI]

they fit exactly the same in the waist mangz, lower rise though.

just a heads-up for those interested, genki city store is closing down. they're having a sale at the moment. not a lot of guys stock, but worth a look if you're into the striped tee etc.

[Tyro1]

just the city store, or are they closing for good??

I live in Brunswick East, just across the road from Carlton North. I like Brunswick East (Lygon Street Area) and there is some good stuff around Sydney Road also. Carlton North is middle age and middle class, and not really that great. Northcote's ok, everyone who lives there will tell you how great they think it is, but it's nothing too special. Richmond is ok for that side of the city. You could try Fitzroy like home said, but it would get on my nerves living too close to brunswick street, or some pockets of Collingwood / Abbotsford are nice also.

thanks dave, really appreciate it.

just the city store, or are they closing for good??

as far as i know, they're closing up entirely. the chapel st store closed sometime last year. thbey said they're going to do online orders of the 'i love...' tees and the striped tees.

still a shame though. it's a great little store.

[btbam]

Shots looking good James..

Guess people should know thats the first images of NVR END...

Not that it will be actually officially opening any tooo soon!

[Tyro1]

Photos look great James!

Is a shame about genki, haven't bought anything there in a long time, but it was a great little store.

[DJI]

^agreed, the veg. tanned nappa leather looks great .

[50_lions]

Neck Strap Bomber looks so so goood! great shots James... keeping my fingers crossed the short cut will work for my tall body hah.

[wept]

sorry to break into the V&V talk but is any place in melb stocking the latem blazer by CON. i havent seen it at fat at all.

[50_lions]

wept, I'm preety sure fat is the only stockist of CON in melbourne dude but DJI will know hah...

I just posted a waywt of my first leather woooo... I think an addiction is coming on I love it already...

[DJI]

only CON stockists in melbourne afaik are fat and cactus jam, cactus jam have no idea when they'll receive stock or what they've ordered though

[wept]

i didnt hit up CJam at all on the weekend, but i didnt intend to do so either.

btw i just realised that i bought my CON neoism jeans in mightnight and not black (stupid stupid me). if anyone is interested in a new pair of CON Neoism jeans in a 32 hit me up. i have the reciept, tags and all that jazz.

im also still trying to offload my Julian red hoboken dark dancers in a size 32. id rather sell to australians than foreigners.

[034936]

ahh i wouldn't mind some dark dancers tbh.. but i realllyyy cant be spending right now... PM measurements?

i found the latem blazer to be quite ill fitting by the way.

[wept]

knock yourself out. if you have any questions PM me. id sell the black dark dancers for about 100USD (without shipping). they are new.

damir doma at claude maus prices? :eek:

[50_lions]

I was looking at that this morning and was wondering why it's super cheap...

[wept]

i just saw that on SZ? is this due to the recession?

ive never been a fan of damir doma as i feel his stuff is in the same vein as Boris Bidjan Saberi and i find his work outstanding in comparison.

[50_lions]

^ DD has been around a few years longer than BBS, though. To me initially they were similar aesthetically, but I became to understand their backgrounds which now makes me see them as two very separate brands.

[wept]

to be honest ive only really read up on BBS as i find his stuff more appealing. Im sure DD deserves just as much credit for his work, if not more, however his stuff just doesnt do anything for me personally.

In short i can respect both on their style and what they bring to fashion but unlike BBS i could never see myself wearing DD.

[btbam]

Crazy DD prices..

On another note, something quite rare has happened.

The blog has been updated, heavily.

[DJI]

they're both interesting designers but neither really makes many pieces that I would actually wear, I did pull the trigger on the lame basic double layer tee though. still kinda want those slim sweat pants they have at CM too, but $400 is still too steep for me...

good to see an update bt, pics look good .

[nifu]

hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i'm going to melbourne for a week at the end of may and i'm just wondering what are must do/sees during that time since it's not that long!

mainly which hostel to stay at, decent/cheap food, bars/clubs/asianfriendly haha

thanks,

[melvin7]

couldnt resist the prices on DD so i got the half-suede sneakers... hopefully i made the correct decision choosing them over the boots :S

[DJI]

if you cut off the back pull and paint the rubber part black then they'll look just like viridi-anne boots haha
