Hey guys, I think i'm gonna cancel my trip in melbourne in july and postpone it to December. Apparently swine flu in victoria is getting out of control. How do you guys feel about it? Is the media just overplaying the hype or is it really a concern that is worth postponing my trip?

[melvin7]

my parents and gf are trying their best to stop me from going.. but i've already booked my tix + hotel hah

the media is hyping it hard.. if you see the death stats for it.. its like lesser than the normal flu? the thing im most worried about is if we have to be quarantined or someshit before i can go back to syd. i'm getting a flu-shot before i go though... i dont wanna come back to syd and be one of the reported cases lulz

[Pandemonium]

i'd get swine flu now so that i'd be relatively immune to the shittier strain at a later stage.

[DJI]

lol, swine flu. can't believe you sydney-siders are actually buying into the media bs...

nice buy kino, CM's womens line is so much nicer than the mens. lulz @ thinking cale was 50 .

btw if any of you guys are considering putting in an order with 26outlet on ebay let me know, I might be interested so that some of the shipping cost can be spread around...

[Ivans On High]

What's the sizing like on RO and N&M tanks and l/s stuff?

[jcotteri]

indeed fenrost

[wept]

fuck im getting sick of lazy people.

babyshambles has recieved payment for the Ro high tops, then he tells me he has been sick and cant get to the mailbox due to tonsillitis. i told him he has a week to send them out or i want my money back. it will be a week on tuesday. FUCK!

i wish he wouldnt post on SZ if he is sick, ive had tonsillitis and it aint that bad (i also had them removed).

*end rant*

edit: he pmed me that he is still sick but "well enough to make the office tomorrow. As mentioned, I will refund if needed. Thanks!"

[fenrost]

would really love to go.

but its kinda sucks i have to work on sunday.

[DJI]

don't open a paypal dispute yet wept, you set an ultimatum with him so if he doesn't ship by Tuesday then open one. a few people have already received their items, so if you open a dispute now he may just refund your money and turn around and sell it to someone else who was interested.

Ivan afaik RO ribbed tanks and l/s fit fairly true to size, you could perhaps size down if you want them extra slim. so ang is a slim 46 and he wears them in an XS. I contacted 26outlet regarding the sizing for the l/s tees, I'll let you know when I hear back from them. changed my mind on ordering some of them, the sleeves look quite short compared to RO/julius ones and the raw cut cuffs would drive me nuts...

damn, 150% mark up on that Julius leather coat at the archive...

[50_lions]

haha yeah.. price is huge. I could seriously never justify spending that much cash on a jacket, unless of course, I was super loaded.

also, I must say the back is a little awkward how it flairs out like a dress.

[DJI]

that happens with any coat with a back vent worn really tight like that, although the length and the fact that it's leather makes it kinda remind me of roman skirt armour haha.

[50_lions]

haha true, it was also styled a little strangely on the runway. Should have used the black version with perhaps a blood piece underneath. Plus I really don't warm to those extremely military/baggy pants.

[50_lions]

still <3. basically if i saw someone down the street wearing it.. i'd have trouble not attempting theft.

[DJI]

I guess horikawa was just trying to emphasis the new red leather in the collection, he did include the fur version of the coat in black though haha:

never really got the cargo pants either, even their jeans are too baggy for my liking, would feel like I'm swimming in them if I wore them haha.

would love one of the mainline or MA suits if I could justify buying one though :

can't wait to see the SS10 runway presentations, can't believe it's already been 6 months .

[jcotteri]

D! i hear by justify you copping MA suit

Now i just need some $$$ to cop raf

lulz @50

[DJI]

heh, I think I would have to change career paths to justify copping the MA suit . would love to cop a raf suit too but yeh, engineers don't really need to rock suits all that often .

want some kazuyuki kumagai basics, stupid elitist no webstore rule . yo J you said that his leathers ran bigger than other Japanese brands right? not that I need another leather jacket, just curious .

[50_lions]

Yeah that suits looks nice although the jacket is cropped just a bit too short. I'm still way too obsessed with the gray manline suit. So out of my league though. sigh

Yeah i'm looking forward to the runway shots... 6months seems to roll around quick when you're focused on buying and selling jawnz haha

[DJI]

it's a vicious cycle .

I prefer the slightly narrower lapels on the MA suit but both are very nice. my black suit has only been worn half a dozen times though....
