^ what's the actual problem?

Personally - to be honest - I really like the idea and concept, more than the actual fit. Your sketches look pretty cool but IMO the crotch is too low and not really falling properly.

But ... well dont take this critisism too personal, I absolutely envy your skills! Would love to do things like that on my own...

Julius pants probably arriving tomorrow... eagerly awaiting em. Hope they fit...

Well guys, I am out.... job is tough and 10.000m olympia running in TV :>

[kuugaia]

^ Haha, no offense taken. Thanks for the criticism, which you're absolutely right. The problem I had was altering the bottom of the crotch to make it drape nicely. It's really hard to explain without the detail shots, but it's the fit in certain areas that I couldn't fix and the lack of skill to make proper flys/pockets. No need to envy my skills...this is the first garment I made and I'm sure anyone here with a sewing machine can make this too haha! But I guess the low-ness of the crotch is personal preference...

[fenrost]

^ those pants are impressive for a first time.

whats the composition for the fabric?

Rob, do you know what the CCP fabric 'TEER' is like?

[fenrost]

Rob, do you know what the CCP fabric 'TEER' is like?

no i havent handle them.

afaik, a fabric from the 08, 100% virgin wool

[Ivans On High]

Maybe I'll hit up darklands for a full suit. Especially if Joe ever fucking pays me back.

[fenrost]

yeah. i have ordered a suit myself... a wool suit in fact. and a pair of boots.

(obviously, ignoring the inane suit discussion in sz)

\/ good luck to all.

[Ivans On High]

If anyone has any firm contact info for Joe, PM me urgently. Phone numbers, addresses, parents addresses, ex girlfriends address. I don't care.

[conqueror]

has anyone here transferred univerisities interstate? i'm looking at moving to melbourne in december but the little information i can find seems to result in a huge headache. i'm a first year psychological science student at the university of adelaide if it helps.

[conqueror]

i actually meant to post that in the australia thread, but thanks for the reply tyro.

i am really worried about losing units - how many did you lose? i am gonna be like 27 before i even finish my undergrad/bachelors, ugh.

[seksu!]

if youre doing psych id suggest looking into either deakin or monash here in melbourne (im doing a bachelor of psychology with honours at monash atm)

melbourne university uses a new model for their undergrads and majors etc., so it might be a bit more hassle to get that sorted out

and yeah, definitely hit up your course advisors, theyll give you all the information you need regarding transferring credits

[Ivans On High]

Just booked another trip to melbs. I'll be down from the 18th to 23rd of August. Drinks anyone?

Also, I need some more restaurant reccs. You know, classy ones to take the gf.

edit: who has tried Movida Aqui? I went to Movida last time I was down, so thought I would try out Aqui this time. What's it like?

[jbone]

seamstress might be a nice place tot ake her

[eversuns]

Just got into Melbourne Yesterday night. What to do? I have been to the Tim Burton exhibition and that was great, and also managed to score an iPhone 4 after waiting in a 10 minute queue.

Hitting up Movida tonight or tomorrow.

Melbourne is sweet

[jackg]

I am down for a drink for sure, we should have a melbourne superfuture night or something of the sort.....

i also heard on the grape vine that when PAM (perks and mini) opens their second store in the city, estimated to be in october, they will be stocking some really high end japanese designers, including visvim.

[Playahater]

They've been wanting to be Melbourne's first Visvim stockist for ages, would be so happy if they finally did; i know Chiodo was in the same boat but something happened and Vis didn't go ahead with it.

[lotek01]

can't wait to see some marked up visvims that i can try on in store then buy on y! jp auctions! (2.5)

[Playahater]

Yeah Supply still carry Visvim, their prices aren't that bad tbh if you compare to FIL HK.

Only hope is Someday gets some bigger sizes, almost impossible for my to find anything in a 12 although I can wear certain size 11s.

[MoreFire]

Just got back my tailored drop crotch pants ... not 100% satisfied, not as slim as I wanted them to be. Sucks. Maybe miscommunication between the tailor and me.

Plus, I got my eagerly awaited julius pants... They're awesome! But still considering. I've gotten too fucking fat (at least my thighs, thanks to the gym!). Will probably put them up FS / FT on the weekend...

(edit: it's a sz.2 fitting a true 46 if anybody is interested)

[Raw Selvedge]

Wow didn't think size 2 would be too small for you. Now I know that I should never even think about getting _7 slim pants in size 2.

[MoreFire]

That iteration fit smaller than typical Julius Sz.2.... The pants I tried before I needed a Sz.1... Just refer to measurements.

E.g. mine were 41cm waist --> I knew they would fit me fine. But as mentioned, they're pretty slim in the thigh. I think a 'typical' Sz.2 in Julius fits more like 32"-33" waist. And not as slim.

[laziale]

anywhere i can get some decent quality long black boot laces?

[seksu!]

seamstress might be a nice place tot ake her

agreed, also go to the bar upstairs on a not-busy night

its a great, relaxed place. really warm too for winter nights

[wept]

So Uniqlo, Zara and Gap are all planing to come to Australia (gap this month).

Hopefully Uniqlo opens in Melbourne.

amen, brother.

[lotek01]

only really interested in uniqlo, zara is overpriced low quality runway ripoffs and gap... well you know.

uniqlo is the tits though.

[Raw Selvedge]

Yes! It will be great if uniqlo opens in Melb

[conqueror]

where did you hear this, tyro? i thought uniqlo was a no-go, but its awesome if it does end up happening. i get my friend in japan to send me stuff about once every two months at the moment, even more in summer.

edit - googled and found:

[DJI]

that is exquisite news Dave, would be fantastic if they open a 'qlo flagstore in the CBD.

[jaac]

Fuck that is excellent news, won't have to ask the british rellies for 20 pairs of socks for christmas.
