Ervell jeans fit slim and have a nice taper to them. Otherwise a pair of Acnes?

i was hanging to see what ervell dished up for A/W. i heard the denim on their S/S is again, on the thin side..

i know you have a big wrap for these, D - size 2 = 30? i'm outta luck.

[Raw Selvedge]

Definately try the +J Uniqlo slim jeans. Very similar cut and made with much better material. Shameless plug but I have a pair in the marketplace, would fit you if you're a 30 or 31 in the t000s.

[DJI]

you might be able to do a size 1 but the thighs are quite slim, size 1 and 2 are available on one of the rakuten direct stores. I've ordered from them before and their service is perfect, they even subtracted the japanese domestic tax from the price.

[DJI]

you might also be interested in these Lad jeans although the inseam is a bit short. I bought them in indigo, they have a very vintage denim feel to them which is rare in a pair of slim jeans. description stolen from blackbird about a pair from a prior season made from the same denim:

Made from a vintage 60s-era denim, woven in India and dyed from natural indigo. This results in a very beautiful deep blue shade which has a very subtle luster to it. Hand-hammered rivets help to provide a very old-timey feel of the construction but the cut is very modern.

[conqueror]

those look really nice.

[defiance]

D, the size 1's should fit a w29 right? (dbss)

[DJI]

yeah the size 1 should be fine for a 29, I'm a 28 in the old school T000's and the size 0 DBSS's fit me the same.

Is the new SS11 LUC on HLorenzo showing the signals collection? I am asking because there is morse on the second sweater pictured. I must say, not feeling any of this stuff... Colours are just too bright But srsly.... some things seem shiny. The fabric of the mentioned morse sweater (merino + angora) looks super soft... Would prefer it in black though...

Kind of bummed, got an offer on trading slim IS cotton pants for my DBSS jeans (see sig, would have to add cash though) but these are too slim for me in a Sz.0... Those are so awesome..

[fenrost]

not sure. but would love to handle them in person. having mixed feelings on luc in general tbh.

has anyone heard much of harold's at collins? i was informed that there will be a basement level, filling all the missing of goth ninjas / sz steez in melbourne - bbs, julius, etc etc etc

[lotek01]

think i mentioned that a couple months ago. they've been around for ages and used to have a more 'proper' aesthetic (think john varvatos was about as edgy as they got) but the ground floor was planned to carry the kind of labels you mentioned only recently. i'd only heard confirmation for bbs at the time, but not sure about the rest.

any A/W on sale at assin yet? or does that go straight to the gertrude st store these days?

[fenrost]

lotek, yeah, you did actually.

just that. a conversation was brought up by a friend yesterday who know someone in there. the specific new space was to cater the younger audience - us. and what was discussed was they may actually pick the usual suspects of sz.

its nice, and exciting that melbourne are becoming very forefront when it comes to international level "fashion" in terms of shopping. but i start to wonder if this can be sustained given that these labels are all over the internet. and the market in melbourne, especially the audience, are still somewhat small.

as for assin, wont be specific but it seems like it's not their choice they are 1 season late.

all of luc ss11 from HL is indeed signals

Assin are having an unadvertised sale with 30% off. Not sure if it's everything, but definitely RO.

[eversuns]

Well my Phuong and Seb belt came this morning, It is very nice, but on the slim side, so take that into account if you end up ordering.

The hardware and construction is very nice, and my initials are a nice touch. I would definitely recommend them, just make sure you aren't after something tanner thick!

As I wear April77's it isn't a problem, and fits quite well. I would also recommend measuring your waist properly to ensure a good fit.

Assin has 30% off on some RO outerwear and dior, then 50% off some undercover and lanvin x acne for guys.

For girls it's 30-50% off some drkshdw, undercover and peachoo + krejberg.

Store keeps a small amount of sale stock so long as there is room. Once all of spring/summer is in all of the sale will prob then go to gertrude.

[melvin7]

[homme.homme]

When I am back in Melbourne early next year I would be up for a few drinks.

[Daaave]

Actually, If any of you are in Perth I'd definitely be down for a coffee because there's seriously not a lot to do here at the moment

[eversuns]

where in Perth are you?

[lotek01]

anyone keen for a drink sometime soon? It's ridic, that I have only met like 3-4 superfuturians after like 5 years

let's grab a coffee sometime man. really enjoyed your flowchart haha!

[Daaave]

where in Perth are you?

Subiaco at the moment, but I can stumble pretty much anywhere that's not, like, Armadale.

[kuugaia]

figured i'd ask some of you guys what your thoughts are on reducing the shaft height of a pair of guidi boots.

i've had a pair of high back zips sitting around for a while, but i basically feel like they're too "much" for me.

not entirely sure whether this process is even worth it, considering the potential costs, but i'd like to reduce them to around the size of this glorious pair:

thoughts?

Sell them and get something else.

[Daaave]

Yeah seriously, it's definitely possible but I wouldn't dream of altering the boots like that unless you're absolutely sure that it's what you want and you don't want to re-sell them ever again
