i have a pair of dark dancers in a 32/32. just gathering dust.

[eversuns]

Hey wept, saw you got some HV shorts, how much did they set you back? from the supermarket or a store? been after a pair for ages.

[wept]

i bought it off DRRRK from SZ. i put a picture up in the 'help finding...' thread ages ago and he contacted me 2 days ago to sell his. cost 180AU so not bad.

on a side they are back in stock at a few places. here and here. shipping from the V store is 70euro which is a bit rich. im sure if you shop around you can find a store that doesnt rape you on shipping.

[Pandemonium]

Yeah, DJI I like DBSS but they also seem to be made of stretch material.

32x32 is too big for me, wept.

anyone been to / conducted a stall at the camberwell market?

doing a big closet clean out and the thought of chucking most of it on the 'bay is scary. mainly random RL / CK / Nike / etc. from back in the day.

what are the fees like? much market for guys stuff? 6am is an early, early start.

[lotek01]

Need to book months in advance, and I think the fees are $50. Not sure about guys, helped my gf sell stuff and made a couple hundred, pretty good. Not many other guys clothes stalls which may be good cos there are many guys there following their partners without anything to get, $5 T-shirts sold well, as did some outerwear which I got rid off for about 30 each which isn't too bad considering I hadn't touched them for ages. The brands you have could probably go for a bit more though I'd think.

Lotsa cheapskate hustlers expecting unrealistic deals though, so yeah...

[pandaeatbamboo]

^ yeah my friend just tried to open a stall there and apparently it's booked all the way until june..oh and the fees are $52

[Tyro1]

anyone planning on going to any LMFF? Might end up going along for new job, let me know, and we could organise some drinks / meet up?

[50_lions]

^I'll most likely check out a few events, maybe a runway show.

will send you a msg man.

[fenrost]

hey guys, was wondering if there are any other contemporary furniture stores in melbourne that u guys would recommend?

i am looking for a really simple study desk..

so far in my mind from ikea, .

would like to have more options tho..

that being said,

ikea is having sales next week..

[Tyro1]

at the other end of the price spectrum:

Space on church street: www.spacefurniture.com.au (there are heaps of other stores in that area also)

or for danish furniture etc, there is 3rd quarter and the other businesses they own. There is a big one near me on Lygon street east brunswick, opposite gelo bar

fantastic! will have a browse.

[DJI]

had a look at the RO buy at assin today, not a bad selection. they'll be getting silent by damir doma some time around winter too if anyone is interested.

dropped by CM which I haven't done for a few months now. new jeans looked ok, they had 3 cuts of jeans one of which is a version of the lizzies with an extra high rise. claude by claude maus basic cotton tees were nice for $79 a pop, still fit like a tent on me. new leather bomber was in, kinda rick inspired with ribbed inserts and made from a fairly decent soft lightweight leather in black and a drkshdw-esque colour. heaps of other pieces that I hadn't seen before as well, nothing I would cop though.

[Ivans On High]

What did they have in the way of coats and leather D? They only had one belted trench in Sydney and for leathers only the geo in bitter and the black bullet.

[DJI]

um, from memory they had the bullet in 2 different black leathers, the geo in bitter, the samurai, that belted trench, the jetpack jacket, the (wool flannel?) molino and maybe one or two others.

[shilent]

Anyone know where I could get some decent monochrome hightops? Been waiting for the Beau Coops ones

http://www.f-t.com.au/blog/beau-coops-footwear/comment-page-1/

but they're still not in stores.. And i'm so tempted to drop 550 on YSL Rollings on Saks but decided to wait a few more days.. Damn my shitty patience

[happyspace]

This is slightly off-topic but I would still appreciate any input.

Has anyone came across any particularly nice iphone cases recently? Otherwise, where will be a good place to find them in Melbourne?

Thanks for the help, I'm new to town.

Chinatown would be the place i guess. I've looked at chinatown to find iphone cases. But I personally found them really expensive for the given quality. I dropped few bucks off ebay eventually

[happyspace]

I fully agree. I've looked at chinatown as well, but most of it were of rather shoddy quality and cheesy designs.

I'm sort of after something more quality and classy.

[DJI]

vaja perhaps? personally I wouldn't bother unless you're particularly prone to dropping your phone, cases always look tacky to me no matter how expensive they are...

[dzerzhinsky]

Incu's sale has been pretty good. Close to 3 months and they had a RO plain button-down to $150.

What's a good place to look for sunglasses in the city?Not really interested in the soulless franchises.

Happyspace, you could try Incase stuff from http://www.80spurple.com/shop/category/4550/iphone-ipod-laptop-gear.

Beware that 80SP product shots are pretty misleading as to colour/texture (too much PP).

[minefisher]

new leather bomber was in, kinda rick inspired with ribbed inserts and made from a fairly decent soft lightweight leather in black and a drkshdw-esque colour.

With regards to this, how similar is the new bomber to the aw09 one , does it have a detachable hood as well? The ribbed inserts are a bit of a bummer though, thought they would drop it for aw10

I been reading through some threads about leather mostly, wanted something in the 600-800ish AUD range

Another query when do you guys think v&v will have more stock, i just found out about them and was crushed to find most of the stuff from collection one was sold out

Sorry for having such hipster/newb questions but you guys are very knowledgeable

Also first time poster , big time lurker

[wept]

welcome minfisher. keep posting.

while we're on the topic of CM can someone tell me how the sizing goes. i assume id be an Small but im unsure. i want to put up a WTB thread for some of the items that i missed from SS09. and does anyone know if the melbourne store still has the SS09 black linen/cotton hooded coat. it came in only a month or so ago.

[DJI]

similarish minefisher, it has a detachable hood like all the previous iterations. I'd wait till V&V shows it's new collection though.

wept the city store had the black hooded anorak when I was in the other day, didn't try it on but the other size S pieces still fit huge on me.

[wept]

thanks DJI. id prob be an S then, or smaller but i doubt they have the coat in XS.

[DJI]

they still don't make mens pieces in XS...

[wept]

in other words they dont cater for DJI.

[DJI]

haha pretty much. very much over the brand anyway, only really dropped by the store last week to kill time...

[DJI]

any recommendations for bakeries in the cbd? need to buy a cake for mum's birthday tonight, was thinking about picking one up from the lindt cafe on collins st.

[pandaeatbamboo]

Hmm lindt cafe's cakes are generally really sweet, so it depends on your tastes. I usually go to laurent or la petit gateau (both in lt collins) for birthday cakes, or the cheesecake in the french lettuce is really good but it's relatively far up in carlton. Hope this helps
