yeah I got the shoulders taken in 4 (!!!) cm, fits so much better now.

[Chin]

[DJI]

coz jut > rider.

[Chin]

not to me

[fenrost]

any chance if we could see the tailored area? glad to hear it fits so much better now..

[Chin]

well paul harnden just arrived and I think label under construction will come next then maybe sissyp. but they're going to Paris soon in early Oct for few weeks to do the buying so I doubt that any new stocks will arrive during that period.

rider rocks

[DJI]

perfecto riders don't really suit me, only like my red one for the colour haha.

don't have any pics fen but they basically just unpicked the stitching, shortened the shoulder width and restitched. pretty straight forward job, just need to make sure they judge the necessary width properly as they obviously can't pin the leather (although if you need to get it taken in from the back they can clip it).

i see.. guess wont be seeing new ccps in EM so soon then..

darklands will be receiving their final ccp and julius by this weekends.. as for the ccp, there will be coats and more footwears..(!!!) should be intense..

[DJI]

yeah, end of every season T. it's not like ccp where retailers refuse to discount it because they know people will eventually cop.

totally random question but does anyone know where to cop kaya jam in melbourne? never seen it in any asian groceries as they're mostly run by viets, hongkies or koreans, been too long since I've been back to malaysia or singapore.

[fenrost]

ccp rarely go on sale. like at lazzari.. but when the stuff are few years old..

i am very certain that laguna at QV sell kaya jams, d.

[DJI]

cheers fen, got a strange craving for it last night for some reason haha.

[fenrost]

haha.. thanks d.. suddenly i myself craving for one now : \

kaya toast = heaven

[Chin]

lol at you guys:D but yeah kaya jam is THE BEST. D you can also get it from the grocery store in melbourne centre next to coles. I got one from there last week. And personally i prefer the green kaya over the brown one yummmy;)

[fenrost]

or DIY..

yah.i love more pandans..

[Chin]

haha good idea fen, and the left over pandans can be used to cook nasi lemak

actually i see kaya pretty often. 2 others i know for sure that has is the main asian grocers on russell in chinatown, and there's one at the corner of franklin st and elizabeth has too.

now you've got me the munchies but it's 1am and raining out

[notsicknorwell]

damn shame I can't seem to find the right kind of fluffy white bread for me to make kaya toast :/

normally only buy wholemeal bread like Lawsons stuff in the supermarkets so meh- might try using damper or brioche for kaya toast.

[fenrost]

^the japanese white loaf from breadtop, should be close enough.

nasi lemak... love em to death.

50, fit pic of das boots?

How'd the sizing go?

[50_lions]

this is all i've got atm:

I'm going to wear them all day tomorrow and see how they go. They are more like a 43.5 as the insole is only slightly smaller than all of my other 44's. I 'm really lucky that the length is OK it's more a width issue which I hope will dissipate after a few wears.

Fit pic tomorrow if I have time.

All in all epic boots. amazing construction/shape/leather.

Hey Chin, might I suggest making a kaya/cream cracker sandwich? Once you went down that path you'll never turn back.

[wept]

im so lost with this food discussion.

the _7 engineers are tight upon first wear/s, and i found that to be the case with mine. i just wear thinner socks. they're a F'ing nice boot though and DJI and myself both love ours.

[50_lions]

saw a girl in the city earlier today wearing a red julius rider. unzipped. she paired it with black tracksuit pants and white plimsoles. a true wtf, I think I may have said it out-loud without even noticing.

that being said the leather itself looked insanely good.

[DJI]

wow, I've never seen anyone else in melbourne rocking _7 leather, let alone a chick wearing the red rider haha.

[50_lions]

good to know wept. great first waywt by the way.

haha yeah kaya toast.. I had to google for an image. have tried it once before (with raw-ish egg and jam) for breakfast in chinatown. was v tasty (apart from the raw egg).

[wept]

thanks 50. means alot.

a chick wearing julius rider...sounds hot. im sure my imagination is making it appear better than it actually was.

[Ivans On High]

yeah, wept really like the fit. OV looks gooooood. Will rep when I get on a mac.

What camera are you using?

[DJI]

I think it'd look really good on a girl due to the slightly cropped length, especially if she was tallish.
