i love both of the jacket and the coat... someone help me pick one.... i think the coat would get more wear than the jacket?

i think my v&v leather, obscur leather shirt and leather jacket would be enough to earn me a vip from nvr end?

[DJI]

get the coat nu, kills it .

bt while I'm not a big fan of the toebox shape of buttero boots, the quality to price ratio is great for the styles of boots they make. pairs that I think would fit well with the store are:

- work boots

- combat boots

- engineer boots

- side zip boots

[DJI]

fuck.................... someone please tell me I don't want this jacket .

[jbone]

definitely the coat nu, couldn't see myself wearing that jacket tbh

i would love to say don't get the jacket D, you know i would, buit man...............that is nice!!

them buttero work boots are great, for that price as well

[fenrost]

d, thats an awesome jacket.

but as you already know it's certainly going to pop up in y!j sooner or later... not worth paying rrp imo if it wont get much wear.

[DJI]

I dunno, I'm starting to think I'd wear it a fair bit. never really liked the perfecto style much but with the distressed collar and stiffer leather to stop it from flaring out... I think red is the only coloured leather I would wear too, grey always felt kinda mediocre to me and while white leather looks good after it's started to get dirt I'm too fastidiously clean for that to happen haha. and that style looks so damn good in the red... especially styled with nothing but black....

[jbone]

im starting to think that you WILL get alot of wear from it... it looks so so good there, i'd jump on that in an instant, definitely would prefer a blood red leather than a white

anyone handled KKA ties before or know anything about the material used?

[Tyro1]

fuck yes D, make up for the RO that didnt fit and cop the shit out of the _7, its probably the best red riders jacket I've seen

[DJI]

haven't handled their ties before but everything they make is quality .

damn it's really tempting, I have a feeling that the red may only be for this season too. my prediction is for an all white collection next season similar to underworld, hence why there were no white/cream coloured pieces at all this season besides in the mid-winter collection....

damn T, you're meant to be disabling! I've already asked my proxy to request measurements from lounge...

[fenrost]

It's a great leather jacket afterall I guess kopping it is a go then

[jbone]

u just answered your question D, nomore red next season means you will be banking on it popping up on y! do u really wanna do that?

ohhhh the ties look so nice, gonna have to cop a few...

[melvin7]

wow what the fuck that looks so fucking good. do it damien. DOOOO IT.

how much is it going for? ... do it.

[DJI]

178.5K yen. might have to get it....

[jbone]

the yen go down the last few days? it's at 76.1

i thought it got up to 79?

still 2.3K AU is good price...

[50_lions]

I'm confused how you all think it looks so good? imo a massive let-down after seeing the amazing colour and tones in the product shots. wayyy too bright, It should be much darker if they are marketing it as 'blood'.

andrew mcdonald shoes are minnnd blowing.

[50_lions]

sorry to be the only disabler D :-/

[jbone]

agree that the darker red colour was more to my liking in the product shots, but the colour on that leather still works really well imo

AM shoes range from 1300-1800 am i right?

[jbone]

would love to have a few of them shoes in my wardrobe... this is a stand out for me

i agreee i think it would be better darker red.

But the second picture is more accurate colour then the first, the first has the brightness bumped up so the red "pops"

I believe the second image is a better representation of the red.

I don't believe you will find a better red jacket.

I don't believe this jacket is THAT amazing.

I do know you are _7 addict.

You will end up copping this wether you buy it new or on sale.

[DJI]

probably will cop pending measurements and selling some pieces...

heh, can't help but be a _7 addict when their shit fits me so well .

[Tyro1]

I wouldnt read too much in to the colour difference from the dark highly artificial runway presentation and the natural outdoor lighting

[DJI]

yeah it's a colour you would really need to see in person, I'm sure it's amazing irl. didn't you handle the red leather at the showroom bt?

[btbam]

yea i wore it

[DJI]

and the colour is (insert superlative)?

[btbam]

the color is red!

haha its a dark red but could be darker.

if you look closely at the image you can see the leather is quite darkened throughout the jacket, the first image i would say is a very bright picture and if anything is making the jacket more red then the jacket really is.

i'd definitely recgonized you on the streets if you're wearing that dji

Who in this thread has met someone else in this thread?

T? D? J? W? 50? N?

I have seen and recognised J from a distance, but didnt stop to say hello as I was on the way to a Job interview...
