i thought reversed treated leather was called nubuck

[DJI]

nah, nubuck is top grain leather that has been sanded back to a nap.

[melvin7]

the texture of the leather isnt consistent.. some parts have those weird rough texture on it and some parts feels like normal leather. i love it.

[50_lions]

fuck all you guys have been copping amazing pieces... +rep to everyone when I get an hour free hah.

I want everything about this looks minus the nun cap and high heels. love love love

[50_lions]

And ivans i'm fairly sure FG leather is around the $1400 mark

[DJI]

leather does look incredible on them mel, although I do prefer top-grain leather personally.

that is an amazing coat 50 (it'd wanted to be at a retail price of $2k+ usd haha), I did want it myself although I've heard it's really long and chances are there wouldn't be a size that fits me anyway.

[50_lions]

Yeah the arms are amazingly slim and the eccentric collar just makes it even more perfect. 2K+ is death hopefully someone of SZ buys & hates/gets bored haha.

[DJI]

I'm curious to see more fits of the tailored rick pieces off of the runway, haven't been particularly impressed with what I've seen thus far though. unfortunate as I quite like the designs of a few of his coats, all of the outerwear I've seen from other designers for next season has been somewhat mediocre...

[Flock]

i LOVE that coat, waiting to see more fit pics of it. But i'll probably have to buy it. I must be crazy because now $2000+ for a coat seems fine to me. I don't even have that kind of money right now... but when i need it most, It shall come to me, such is the nature of these things i always find.

will rep later dji when it lets me

[jbone]

jbone, FG looks great. How much did it cost you?

Fortunately he had 1 spare in my size and he gave it to me for 1K, but Ben said they retail for $1,500... still not sure of the jeans and tank though

[DJI]

will rep later dji when it lets me

mad o/t topic question here, but..

macbook pros. i'm in the market. primarily a desktop replacement, but will see occasional trips to uni, and between residences (perhaps 3/week, if that).

is the 17" really that immobile? it only weights a half-kg more than the 15"..

it's just the fully spec'ed 15 is almost as expensive as the equivalent spec'ed 17..

guess i should give them both a good hard look in person.

decisions, decisions..

[TTT]

home, bt and I bought macbooks each about a month ago. I faced the exact same question, but bt talked me out of it and Im glad he did. I got the fully spec'd 15" model and its great. Everything I need to do can be achieved. Can't see why you may want to spend an extra $500 odd dollars for a larger screen which makes it less portable and that extra 0.5kgs heavier - it may sound small but it makes a big diff. my two cents.

[DJI]

yeah, definitely get the 15" model home. you probably don't need the extra screen resolution/real estate, and the extra weight will make you less inclined to bother bringing it to uni, etc.

[Ivans On High]

Home, I have a 15" mac book pro and the size is spot on. No way I would consider going up to 17", and I occasionally watch movies on it too...

[50_lions]

I had this same decision to make. The 15' is perfect for me, but I carry it around with me everyday. If you are replacing a desktop and won't be taking it to uni THAT much, then the 17' would be a good choice. Really depends how much you want to transport it around with you.

[wept]

i still dont get why people by macbooks over cheaper PC laptops. call me elitist but *insert mac v pc argument in here*

id also say that they 15 would be easier to carry around. i have a macbook thats a 15" and its easily transportable. in the end i recommend you go to one of there stores and speak to a shop assistant (even though most are douches).

Please no one state that i bash macs as i dont understand them. i have used both platforms for over 5 years and i just prefer the more geeky PC, as i like to build my own computer rather than buy a mac with no real sense of accomplishment (plus they cost more for less)

[034936]

never really understood mac/pc fanboyism. they is just computers.

[wept]

never understood most people. period

[fenrost]

i use both and i like both.

mac for work

pc for play

i dunno about anyone else but the sad truth is being in the creative industry using pc are quite frowned upon... dont wanna go into discussion on this one.

+1 for 15 inch mac

[fenrost]

yeah D they're the same ones. Oh they're definitely not suede (well they dont feel anything like my DD sneaks LOL). J knows his DBSS and he said they're made out of reverse leather

those boots are fierceeee.

[TTT]

i dunno about anyone else but the sad truth is being in the creative industry using pc are quite frowned upon... dont wanna go into discussion on this one.

Yeah I agree, and I don't get that part.:confused:

[ben_253]

i'm [...slowly] saving for a 15" macbook...hard when i only get paid 'round $350 p/w

[melvin7]
