australia :: melbourne :: shopping

[Flock]

hold out Fen, i've had packages delivered at 5:30

[btbam]

yeah i would not worry at all. We use TNT Overnight First Class - Tracked from our door to yours. Dont stress.

[LC07]

Wouldn't it be better if one of you started an Obscur thread in the appropriate forum like V&V did to post fit pics/sizing and general questions?

I couldn't tell whether this thread is in superfashion or superjetset, given the constant Obscur talk. Not knocking your hustle/love, but more relevant thread discussions would be good.

[jbone]

tbh LC07 there is never really any relevant thread discussions in here

[DJI]

sorry lc07 but a dozen guys on this thread have or will be receiving the jacket, you have to understand the excitement after quite a long wait. bt and selks aren't posting about it to try and sell them, everyone that wants one here already has one on the way haha.

this thread has evolved into more of an australian community discussion, rather than the melbourne shopping discussion it originally was. I couldn't be happier about it tbh, otherwise the posts in the last week would have all been of the "new incu store, sure does suck no?" and "damn, assin prices for new ann is rape again" variety.

also

randoms like me post here.

okay who here bought the new reverse cordovan augustas?

i am on a boot spree

[DJI]

haha, glad you're on here too ray. I'm on a boot famine, holding off for a few more weeks so I can try on a shit load at lift. hopefully the guidis suit me, otherwise I may have to consider more expensive options....

[jbone]

exactly my point D, nothing relevant to the melbourne essential shopping thread.. and couldnt agree more, its better like that otherwise it would end up like teh syd,bris etc. threads = D E A D

[RaymondChiu]

let me know how it goes. pics possibly. i had paypal ready for baby calf ones yesterday but dude bailed on me.

[DJI]

definitely ray, I'll snap some pics if I can too. if only japanese prices weren't rape, I could cop then and there haha.

[jbone]

^third that.. boot spree myself... you got pic of them Ray?

[btbam]

D whats the deal with your obscur

get on it

[fenrost]

lc07,

this melbourne thread has went into so many different discussion, and one of it was the rebirth of this obscur jacket. it is very very relevant as two key posters in this thread made this idea to a reality, and so many of us here supported them.

why in this very thread again not new thread? i believe that we have formed our small and active community here with an interest and aesthetics as i see it, a cross between sz and sufu that we are more comfortable to discuss..

[DJI]

haha, goth ninjas from downunder T.

going home soonish bt, will let you know mang....

[btbam]

shit dude im more anxious for you then you are..

well probably not. but close

these augustas

do they come in anything else besides reversed cordovan?

[fenrost]

it's funny to say goth ninjas in melbourne, i haven't seen any steezy goth-ninjas yet..

talk about restaurant, anyone has recommendation in the city?

** ok it's already 5:40pm, i wont be getting my jacket today. sigh.

[jbone]

^ that sucks fen.. hope to have some better news myself..

[DJI]

they're lurking in the shadows fen.

agree about updating the map, was surprised by the amount of effort some of the tokyo guys go to to keep their map updated (even has the rick store that opened a few weeks ago haha). perhaps perth and brissie maps too?

ray not crazy about the toe shape of those augusta joints but I'm sure they're made in different leathers, reverse cordovan is hella expensive...

[Chin]

lulz at lc07, we love this thread because you can talk about basically everything and anything without ever been considered off topic and you need to be participated to this thread alot more often to appreciate the nature of it. I personally just as excited as everyone else about the obscur jacket although I wasn't one of owner.

And no, this thread will never become another SZ!!!lol

[fenrost]

makes me wonder if a gathering will be as real as the obscur leather. lulz.

hell no. this thread will not be SZ.

[Chin]

was looking for male dressmaking dummy all over melbourne this afternoon, and only found one place had it but required to place special order to get made and shipped from Asia, best part, it's gonna cost me atleast 800....or over 1k for custom size. I die..

[fenrost]

^wow, all i can say is... pls do not deal if they r not willing to markdown.

how about ebay?

[DJI]

just got home and...

aww shiiiit, fit in the body is really good. actually fits a bit slimmer in the body than expected (about 43cm p2p), although I'm going to have to get the shoulders taken in a bit (43cm s2s as well somehow). impressed with the leather and the jacket as a whole, thanks again never end and all the guys at obscur for making jawn dreams happen.

[RaymondChiu]

rofl

i was waiting for a picture to load?

[DJI]

haha, no pics yet as it's dark already. maybe tomorrow but yeah, gonna have the shoulders taken in a bit I think.

[nufish]

obscur leather received this afternoon and finally see it!!!

leather is so nice and fit is quite tight around the shoulders but it will loose up after wears so im not really worried about it. Silly me thinking of sizing down three months ago

however, i noticed four rips on the leather????? don't think its part of the design tho... could anyone confirm on this???

[RaymondChiu]

do you have any pictures

[nufish]

taking them now

[DJI]

damn, sorry to hear that nu. pics asap, I'm sure it can be sorted out for you man.
