heh, hoping it works out man but I'll know in a week. not a fan of the seam detailing on that blazer tbh, the extra detailing on a suit should be subtle imo.

[pandaeatbamboo]

ahh i see..thx for the opinion! yeh if d alterations is good there i might check it out one day..

Really like the blistered lambskin RO used this season:

Interesting, but i personally dont like it as a whole. And agree, ugly buttons.

I would also prefer an MA Suit -

both CCP and Julius look great in their own league, just CCP is ballers.

Come to think of it, i think CCP boots might look decent in julius suits.

hearing that bt, love the design and the leather despite its inconsistencies (its at least on par in terms of leather quality with RO leathers from the past few seasons). finishing could have been done better, but all in all it's still a great jacket.

Personally, I never liked RO's leather jacket, the construction is great but the leather always seem fake for my liking. Agree tho about Obscur, the finishing can be improved, had some wtf moments... but still wear it anyway.

sup Ivans happy birfday.. shit I don't feel so old now

[DJI]

Ivan this would make the perfect birthday gift to yourself. I don't think I'll be needing a shoulder bag often once I finish uni in a couple of months, at least that's what I'll keep telling myself till someone cops.

[Chin]

wow, ccp derbies(11) for 660 dollars, someone cop them quick!

[lotek01]

a lot of the local cotton jerseys are utter shit. unless they're already washed or something, it's pretty tough to find decent ones. even the suppliers for many local labels don't have a great selection.

i stay in collingwood, where are these leathers??

[Ivans On High]

I had to do it. My CCPs are in the market. Gutted.

[Chin]

no i haven't checked out NSW leather yet tyro, I got all my leather from leffler as I believe they have much bigger range of leathers/ tools and are also where most of local designer goes to buy their leathers from.

Rathdowne is a bit of hit and miss i must say, you sometimes find one of two nice fabrics there in great price but other times most of the stuff are just cheap polyester. still i find it's worthwhile to go there every so often just to see what they got in store. I got my ribbed wool jersey from them couple months ago, quality is not bad considering the price. my modal and cotton jersey are actually from the fabric shop where I work part-time in. unfortunately we don't have anything you might like at the moment since we got our fabrics randomly from mostly local designers and often just one off random stuff. we once have some modal silk like those Julius basics used in only a few metres and were gone even before i have time to lay my hands on them

anyway, there are a few other shops you could tried for wool/cotton/modal jersey. Clegs in city sometimes has modal for just under 20 pmt in a range of colour. Tessuti on flinders lane has nice wool/cotton jersey in reasonable price 20-40 pmt and many other nice fabrics as well. Stitches in Armadale specialized in high end European fabrics, there you can find mohair/alpaca/marino kind of stuff but expect nothing below 50 pmt

[Tyro1]

Thanks heaps for all that info, I'll be sure to check some of these places out. Looks like I can get my hands on an overlocker for a little bit, so keen to make some things

[DJI]

bah, darklands' guidi buy sucks...

[jcotteri]

yeh pretty average.. do you think the carry bag is to much like a handbag?

[DJI]

yeah, looks like one of those oversized womens bags from guess or something. :/ only decent piece is the donkey leather lace up boots, and they aren't really anything special.

[034936]

i like the natural coloured boots, i reckon they would look pretty fuckin fierce worn.

[lotek01]

think the carry bag's fine, its just like a weekender bag, but not sure if it fits into the usual aesthetic that people who buy guidi go for

[handmade]

my ann d triple buckles are up for sale in the market

[Ivans On High]

man, what size????

edit: bummer too small

[Chin]

I'm sure D would be tempted to cop hehe (so am I )

[woody]

A little off topic but my girl and I are heading down to Melb for a few days and I was curious about accomodation. We are looking for something relatively cheap that's near good shopping and food.

Any recommendations would be appreciated...
