[Chin]

Hey chin, how'd you go with making basic tshirts with the fabric you bought a while ago. I'm going to head to rathdowne on the weekend and have a go.

been rather busy on making EM's order in the past month so I hadn't really have time to do much sewing lately, plus I only have access to overlocker at my workplace at the moment. I almost finished one style with the wool ribbed knit that I purchased from rathdowne couple months ago and I wish to develop two more styles with other fabrics i got (modal and fine cotton jersey). Design is very simple and basic as I mostly focus on getting the right fit since I'm making the pattern myself, try and error:o

good luck with fabric hunting tyro, let me know if there is any good stuff

[LC07]

it's strangely fascinating how fit pics are requested and presented amongst a circle of people who own the exact same piece of clothing

My point obv.

Like I've said, I'm not knocking the hustle/love and contrary to the STFU comments, I quite like how this thread has come this far and is now the default Aus small talk/shopping concept, given the close knit community.

EDIT: I've stated my point and just because I disagree with the general consensus here doesn't mean I'm a hater yo.

Keep doing your thing

The sleeves on the original in jcot's post also look significantly slimmer and longer too - might have mine taken in a touch.

50, will definitely tuck sometimes, but I don't think my fellow engineers could handle that! They have a hard enough time accepting my mostly black atire.

Definitely need to cop some more CCP though - love this look. I'd get the all black version obviously.

damn, those boots are gorgeous. Wish I could find them around here.

yeah, i love khiev's fit, but i must say it's not boring because it's not all black. might pass jut and go for some ccp suits as well.

[nufish]

fen imo i'll go for the jut if i don't have much leather (=<2)... ccp suit is great but i just can't think of much time dress in suit for myself... again its just me

[fenrost]

^true, i do agree in a certain extent that ccp suits is not really an ideal formal wear either. it's just they look sharp in parties or small functions.

and back to leather, i haven't been wearing my black rider for a very long time tbh, wore it out less than 5 times since purchase, but i still loving it. maybe it might be a little too gangsta for my everyday wear. that's why i have been thinking maybe i should pass jut.

[DJI]

I think that may be due to the perfecto style fen, too greaser/biker gang hence why I wouldn't buy it in black. the jut is a more versatile everyday jacket, wore mine quite often and have been regretting selling it ever since. not long before the new one...

I want a "casual" suit too, although I think I'd look elsewhere rather than ccp...

[fenrost]

agree it's the perfecto style. the new jut however, it's the zip configs, they are badass but it's too much gangsta as well.

the jut you sold is prolly the best one, tho.

[fenrost]

I haven't look much into SAA.. might want to get a look, i think FAT stocks them?

[DJI]

tbh the only part of the design of my old jut I really didn't like was the two top zips, if it were just 2 long zips a la margiela I would have kept it and bought the new one as well. shame the leather on the gordini collab last year was so mediocre...

I want one of next seasons MA silk wool twill 1B suit with twist leg seam detail, subtle but beautiful.

So, I wore the Obscur all last night - for a good 5 hours and there is already a noticeable difference in the leather. The creasing has smoothed out and it is beautifully soft in some places.

I do have the same shoulder issue that was high-lighted by beardown on SZ though. What are your thoughts - will that become less noticeable over time?

mine still peaks on one shoulder, the other shoulder is fine and ive been wearing mine for a while now. it was quite extreme when i first put it on and it has improved but i dont see it changing much more.

[Ivans On High]

So what do you put it down to? Construction problems? Mine does it on both shoulders.

[50_lions]

that's strange... I have no shoulder peaking whatsoever.

[ajax]

depends on how wide your shoulders are, compared to the size. everyone has different body measurements

looks like the jacket is for wider shoulder/narrow chest people

[DJI]

that's coz you got broad shoulders du, mine is too broad across the shoulders and the construction of the shoulder seams exacerbates this. nothing that my tailor can't fix though hopefully, ivan perhaps you could consider sizing down as yours does look somewhat loose?

[jcotteri]

ivans you ended up getting a size small?

[btbam]

ivans is on a M at the moment

[Ivans On High]

I was worried about the length for the small.

[DJI]

if I understand correctly the difference in length between the smaller sizes is minimal to nill.

[melvin7]

superblurber/sz guythhsss

eeeeeek

please go easy on me... im nervous/anxious as hell. lulz

[selkies]

should be very proud melv, looks great.

[jcotteri]

I was worried about the length for the small.

how about a confirm of measurements from bt or selks... To late to change? maybe post an interest to swap now??

[fenrost]

sigh sigh sigh!

oh btw, melv. your labels looks great man.. i can see it become very successful.

[Ivans On High]

Melvin, stuff looks great mang. Photography kills it! Website is awesome too. Very professional stuff.

[melvin7]

i dont think ive ever been this nervous showing my work.. ever...

but thank you SO much for your support. your opinions means ALOT to me. especially from all of you local sufu'ers.

i'm refreshing the site by the minute here HAHA

[DJI]

post comments in the thread guys, gotta have the good vibe going on there haha. very nice work though mel, you should definitely feel proud of what you've produced.

[fenrost]

you need confidence in your label mang they look good, even if some of us doesn't approve, you still need to stick up to it.

i personally like it as a debut label, BUT there will be some comments in sufu/sz like influence, comparison, rip and etc here and there soon.

[DJI]

haha, that was my first thought too. once you get past that though the pieces and styling are both very solid.
