I'd say it's most likely doable to dye them black, no idea how to go about it though. I remember seeing a thread on SZ regarding dyeing a while back...

[DJI]

Ivan my tailor wanted a bit of extra time to tailor the coat for me as it basically involved restitching the entire arm and body area, will be ready on thursday.

[wept]

that kind of tailoring takes a decent amount of work.

in regards to dyeing, ive been goggling and it seems it can be done. whether or not i can be bothered is an entirely different matter.

[jcotteri]

D! what did you think of Vogue Hommes Japan? what's you highlight+verdict?

[DJI]

I'd give it a miss J, it's got nothing on the first issue unfortunately. 60% is a boring japanese take on american fashion, 30% is mildly homoerotic photoshoots, and only about 10% is other new collections and backstage runway shots.

[poof]

it is possible to dye it black but the threading/sitching on it would most likely remained the same colour so u got to take note!

Can I let you in on a little secret....

I bought a pair of the washed leather gloves from the new Witchery Man store in Sydney. And I love them.

tee hee

[jcotteri]

witchery? man? haaha

yeh D! i got it nearly a month ago mate. Hah! couldn't resist the urge.

just wondering what you thought of it

[Ivans On High]

I got my geller blazer back from Yoh05 finally - he tried to scam me bad.

Anyways, after I sell it I'll have some money to spend. What to buy, what to buy.

[melvin7]

what the fuck witchery does man now? LOL

where abouts is this store?

[DJI]

lulz, curious as to why you were in witchery in the first place Ivan .

yeh, was pretty disappointed in this issue J after quite a stellar first issue.

[wept]

Can I let you in on a little secret....

I bought a pack of the washed leather gloves from the new Witchery Man im seing in Sydney. And I love him.

fixed lol

[Ivans On High]

Haha.

I looove womennnnnn. (10pts for whoever gets the reference)

DJI, I was in Witchery to buy the gloves. derr. They also do a pair of leather hi-top sneaks which don't look half bad. So if your egos can handle it check out the website.

Plus, the girl who served me was cute.

The store is added on to Witchery at Chatswood Chase melv. The clothes are derivative ill-fitting pieces but the gloves! oh the gloves!

I also walked past SABA. funny stuff. Long hooded cable knit cardi from SABA? wtf.

[DJI]

haha, picking up girls while shopping at a womens clothing shop is a golden idea . was just curious as to how you came to the decision that witchery was a good place to go looking for jawns...

chunky cable knits look to be the next big thing this season, walked by a whole bunch of mainstream stores that were selling them.

[Ivans On High]

My brother works for a market research consultancy and was researching online stores and in his travels went to the Witchery store and sent me a link to the gloves cos he knew I was looking for a pair. Good luck really.

He also got to surf porn sites and get paid for it... lucky bastard.

[DJI]

haha, fair enough man. you receive your CM coat yet Ivan? fat picked up the parka too, also had a bunch of their new checkered shirts.

[Ivans On High]

No, They shipped it today so I should get it tomorrow. I also just got a Kostym parka in the post )when it rains it pours). So I guess I'll sell that pending the CM coat.

What is the rest of the outerwear like this season?

[DJI]

hasn't arrived yet. the other 2 pieces of outerwear are the hooded trench and the shorter single breasted wool coat, which is a very similar design to the one I had 2 years ago (sold it to a sydney dude, cactusarmy, early last year).

[Ivans On High]

CM is gonna take all my money. I bet the hooded trench is nice. Any details available on it?

[DJI]

haven't asked, double breasted coats don't work for me. from the pics on the official site it looks to be a heavy wool melton, should be nice .

[50_lions]

haha I saw that witchery man and noticed the half OK hi-tops.

I really want to cop a nice leather bag but not sure I can justify like $1000 on one.... perhaps 400-600 max. So i was thinking of selling out on a witchery version if they're not too polished.

Other thoughts on bags???

And by the sounds of it CM will sell out cause of everyone on sufu copping!

[50_lions]

actually I realllly should spend alot of a good bag... arrgggh handing over money for accessories is so harrrrrrd for me

[DJI]

lulz @ witchery man, would have thought they would pick a decent name.

50 I think it's definitely worth spending the money on a good bag, my Julius leather bag is one of the best fashion investments I've ever made.

[50_lions]

hahah yes, a certain name fail.

So delete my possible witchery manbag idea, i'll go all out maybe suss Hermes or Zambesi or not suuuuure. But yus I think you're right about investment... Hopefully it can be something I keep forever.

What price range are Julius, D?

[DJI]

smaller messenger bags are about 50K yen, and larger ones are about 70K yen. boston bags are between 70K and 100K yen depending on the size.

speaking about dropping cash on accessories, a dude offered me 300 euros for my Julius fingerless gloves this morning :eek:. would be tempted to sell at that price if I didn't like them so much haha.

[wept]

there are a few good julius leather bags on Y! auctions atm. there the bigger version with the 2 handles. i cant think of what style its called.

i think its sitting at about 50,000 yen.

id invest in one one day but atm i need clothes more than a bag.

[Ivans On High]

I have a custom made goat leather messenger bag in brown which cost me only $100 and looks amazing. So you don't have to spend a fortune for a nice bag.

But... check out Property Of... they make some great bags.

[DJI]

yeah I saw those few on Y!, was tempted to buy one of the duffles but I think my CON stw bag more than suffices as a gym bag .

[wept]

*start rant*

i wish klangspiel would post up pictures of the julius trape top he is selling. ive calle dibs but i want pictures. its been on my to get list for ages...that is, if its the same one he is selling.

speaking of bags im still tempted to pick up the cheap CON duffle bag for 150buckos. i need a black bag.

*end rant*

[50_lions]

Thanks for all the heads up, I will start some serious searching. Still need to cop my CM leather jacket yet.
