if anyone is interested in either of the 2 lame basics I have left for sale hit me up, I can reduce the price by another $10 for you guys . I'm also probably going to be putting up my very lightly worn white ceepee achilles in size 41 soonish...

[50_lions]

Nice find James. I'm not sure about the toe on those alternatives though, kind've progressive rise as the CP's have a defined toe section. May have to wait around for a supermarket/ebay listing or maybe if I search hard enough I will find some vintage type around the place.

Can't find any of those CPs anywhere, but quite a few English shoe makers have a Chukka model that is similar.

i.e.

Alden or these chukkas The also do great collabs with places like beams etc.

holy shit, mang - youre turning into chris with all this turnover!

where 2 kop nice woolen/cashmere/rayon/etc. blend scarfs? just need black.. i know DJI mentioned CR, but there isn't really anything nice on the website. maybe more in store?

rafs (http://www.oki-ni.com/invt/raf0060blk) for 220AUD or monochromes (http://www.oki-ni.com/invt/drm0003blk) for 150AUD?

[Tyro1]

the red stitching over the gum soles, throws the Rafs off imo. Plus the labeling on the side.

However, I think the slightly modified shape is nicer than the regular docs.

[home]

shape is nicer, that's for sure.

guess it's down to a matter of whether i want leather or patent docs..

[btbam]

got some Julian Red in guys.

tyro, you get my email?

[wept]

bt, if you have hoboken dark dancers let me know the price?

[Tyro1]

Yeah sure did!

Have been flat out, will reply to you this week if that's cool?

[50_lions]

Thanks man, I looked at all brands but they all seem to have some extra stitching/fatter sole/random cut. I think i'm just biased to the CP minimal style. I'm sure i'll find something eventually but may look into custom as you mentioned..

For some reason the dark dancers didnt come in my order so ill have to follow it up, but im 99% sure i wont be getting them, sadly.

Yeah sure did!

Yeah buddy no rush just making sure it went through

[jcotteri]

NO problem 50.. IMHO the vass are just as simple as are the Walker and Gunn. I think you will find the vass to be of supreme quality and would last the ages. The again so might the ceepeez.. watevs

[saepnirg]

FAT sale this thursday-sunday.

210 brunswick st.

probably going to be shit as per usual but thought some people on here might be interested.

[jcotteri]

legendary FAT sales:D

haha, I'd rather have money in the bank than unworn jawns in the closet...

the CR scarf I bought is this one but in black, incredibly soft and a good weight for Melbourne weather.

honestly man I think you're better off saving your cash for something nicer, neither of those shoes are worth spending that much on.

ah fat . I don't think I have the time to waste by going to the sale this year...

[seksu!]

im pop by this fri for a scope

no high hopes

[50_lions]

I asked one of the SA's he was all like 'yeah mainly just the end of summer stock' AKA shit sale.

Will go in to scope on my lunch break.

Also I'm going to be putting up my CM aw09 Double Layer l/s tee (black) soon in a Medium. Tags/only washed once if anyone has a keen interest message me. Just come to terms with the fact it's too short for me.

[DJI]

tbh fat hasn't really stocked anything that I would buy for at least a few seasons now (besides the CM pieces that I can get at the flagstore ). I still drop by once in a while in the hope that they have some interesting shit...

theymust have changed the cut of these a lot from season to season, as my longsleeve is plenty long for me

[50_lions]

I agree with you D I always go there hoping i'll find a treasure but usually never do. I do like the oversized Beat Poet shirts they stock though.

T the length is dramatically shorter... although perfect for anyone around 6'2" and under. The same cut from last season I have is perfect length (even an inch or so too long.) Not sure how anyone much shorter than 6ft could pull off that cut without it looking like a dress.

[btbam]

i got the CON age old long tee, thing looks like a dress on me and im 6'4.

i love it ahaha

[50_lions]

ahaha yeah i'm all for the oversized look but when shit starts getting close to the knee its pushing next level.

[Ivans On High]

the age old tees look great, but >>> expensive. I'd also be scared i'd put my arm through the wrong hole whilst getting dressed and tear it to pieces. But i suppose bt, you don't pay retail do you....?

[jbone]

what's people's opinion...

the age old long tee or the CM double layer tee

[btbam]

well i still pay retail because it would of sold if i didnt get it for myself

but yeah i love the deconstruction on it and the fit makes me feel not so tall.

I have ordered more of these form con, they are making them all as we speak hopefully be here in a couple weeks.

[btbam]

oh and i have one aubergine(M) left and one black (L)

i got mine in XL but i could of fit into a M quite easily

[seksu!]

tbh fat hasn't really stocked anything that I would buy for at least a few seasons now (besides the CM pieces that I can get at the flagstore ). I still drop by once in a while in the hope that they have some interesting shit...

this is so true

nothing really interesting for maybe 2/3 seasons now .. which is a shame

[Tyro1]

so I was reading mouko's blog and saw him mention you could get a lower interest rate on yourr credit card, just by asking.

Call to virgin later and I have a 3% p.a. interest rate discount for the life of the card and all cash advance charges (a result of being overseas with shit ATMs) transferred to the purchase rate and getting the 55 days interest free.

YES!

[DJI]

what's people's opinion...

the age old long tee or the CM double layer tee

CM tees are far better quality IMO, cotton/cashmere is my favourite material for tees .

the Julius ribbed tees I have are 90+ cm long, if I don't bunch them up around the waist then they look like those RO sheer dresses haha.

[melvin7]

If you wear size S you should buy DJI's white CM double layer tee while its still available jbone! they 're not mass produced good price too.
