[Ivans On High]

They are size free, I just tried on a few pairs until I found one I liked - the (hot) girl thought I was weird; she was like "they are all the same size" derrrp. They were not.

D, I noticed FAT fitzroy had a random selection of 'leather' gloves. Not sure the quality etc but it would be worth checking it out. They were sitting on the counter in a bowl type thing...

[nufish]

how was BBS leathers sizing like this season? heard people on stylezeitgeist.com say leather jacket runs small so should size up.. im having my eyes on the one without the hood..

[airstabs]

Hey guys anyone knows where I can find a decent leather oil or LP? Thanks.

[Tyro1]

D - queen vic market?

[DJI]

50, yeah I had noticed the gloves at fat but didn't bother trying any as I wasn't looking for them at the time. their accessories tend to be really overpriced though, like $100 for a wool/acrylic blend scarf...

T I'll probably give queen vic a shot during the week if I have a chance, should have something reasonably cheap. one of the SAs at arthur galan suggested Siricco, I'll probably check them out on monday.

[DJI]

price drop on the jawns I'm selling if anyone is interested, also got a HTC Touch HD on the bay if anyone is in the market for a new phone .

[btbam]

Geller is now in stock.

[Flock]

Yo joe,

Just wanted to confirm because you never replied. You got my payment for the jacket and can put in an order for me?

[btbam]

Yep all orders are put down no stress!

[wept]

DJI. apart from the following what are some other japan auction sites. i know the following ones. Y!, www.mbok.jp, rakuten.

any more.

[jcotteri]

does rakuten have auction?

[wept]

im not sure. i think not.

what i ment to say was 'im expanding my search for julius shit as well as my grail'.

thats the point i was getting at J

[DJI]

Y! and mbok are the two main auction sites, although mbok is just the cream of the crap. other than rakuten you could trawl the kind used webstores too. I think your best bet is waiting till it turns up on Y! though, I've seen quite a few of them come and go there. you know we've all got your back regarding your HG anyway .

[jcotteri]

just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing out on anything.. actually that reminds me..

congrats on 2k posts D!

any suggestions for where to get fingerless gloves? acrylic makes my skin itch so I'm looking for a wool pair, I bought those country road ones (thought they fit ok in store but turns out they didn't...) but they're cut for deformed hands (or grown mens hands ). I'd prefer full hand gloves but full wool gloves look kinda like you're wearing a sock on your hand, and leather gloves with a leather jacket would probably look too BDSM?

Do leather gloves provide as much warmth as wool or other fabric gloves?

[DJI]

they're not as warm as wool gloves. the warmth of leather gloves depends on what sort of lining it has though, for example cashmere lined gloves are warmer than silk lined ones.

[Tyro1]

are they lined leather gloves? how thick is the leather? how thick are the fabric or wool gloves? really depends...

Natural fibres like wool and cotton tend to breath better, making more comfortable gloves as it prevents your hands from sweating.

Leather would be ok for warmth, but unless it is lined with something, it might no be that comfortable?

Also, you dont see much leather on the ski field...

[DJI]

yeah, unlined leather on the skin wouldn't be all that pleasant... some leather gloves have venting either at the bottom of the palm or via perforations to allow the hand to breath.

if you want really warm leather gloves there's also heavy (real or faux) shearling gloves, although they tend to be overly bulky.

[Tyro1]

also d, have you checked out Danier? prices are in CAD I think, plus I have contacted them previously and they will ship to AUS

[DJI]

they're very reasonably priced for what look like quality gloves, shame the smallest size they have left is an M . yo T were those fingerless gloves you picked up acrylic or wool?

[Tyro1]

They were dirty $2.50 acrylic gloves. Just wanted something, while I look for something better.

[DJI]

I got over looking for wool fingerless gloves that fit well, bought some $6 acrylic dents gloves that fit super tight haha. if anyone with larger hands than me (probably most dudes on here) want these 100% wool country road ones for like $15 shipped let me know .

Morning Melbournians!

Wept, there is bidders.co.jp but not much stuffs in there

DJI. apart from the following what are some other japan auction sites. i know the following ones. Y!, www.mbok.jp, rakuten.

[DJI]

[Tyro1]

Anyone going to sart party tonight? Could be a bit too cool, but anyone who is desperate to meet him, gertrude street tonight.

[DJI]

would be interested but I've got a mid-sem test tomorrow and 5 major group projects due within the next 4 weeks that I haven't started yet, the fact that I'm wasting more time surfing than the web than doing actual work today isn't helping either .

[Flock]

Same situation as DJI, depending how much work i get done today i will head down. Also, who here is going to Agideas next week?

[napoleon]

Have you tried looking through zozo? http://zozo.jp/brand/JULIUS.html Plenty of shops listed. One of the Japan proxies might help out, if there are any still around.
