jut can't be more than a month away now.

lol... hmm, dunno. hopefully it's gonna be a real keeper for me.

just pondering.. whose here gonna go for the jut?

[DJI]

afaik it'll just be you, sev3n and myself. damn it'll be the 7th mainline jacket I've owned, if it fits well it'll definitely be a permanent addition to my wardrobe.

[fenrost]

yeah.. kicking myself for not listening on your advise on size 2 earlier on the rider.

ah oh well, can't wait. hopefully it's a keeper... the leather is really somethin

[Chin]

my new website is up now

[DJI]

really nice photography chin, although you can't really tell what the pieces look like as a whole haha. you take them yourself?

[btbam]

looks amazing chin

[50_lions]

nice one Chin, looks great.

[50_lions]

p.s. feet are so fucking sore from boots yesterday. I THINK they will be OK though.

also, pants got tucked in accidentally and an old guy said they look like 'come fuck me' boots, but liked my style. this was at an AFL grand final function at crown.

hilarious.

[Ivans On High]

Chin, website looks great, and the photography is great too - though I agree with D, it is hard to get a feel for the piece as a whole.

[Ivans On High]

CCPs sold. Time to cop my size.

[DJI]

T some of the finishing on my midnight ring has dulled down, however the silver has also started to tarnish and get darker. really like the effect.

fucking weather, glad I wore chucks today instead of boots as it pissed down when I went out for lunch. CM has a couple of new pieces. a print tee (some subtle feather or flame or something), some check shirts made from cotton broadcloth, and a vest (with ribbon closure lulz).

whats up with the chronicles of never diffusion line, black rain/white noise, at GP? bunch of jeans and some reissues of old CON shoes, prices are the same as the regular line so I dunno wtf is the point of the range.

[Chin]

thanks guys, the images on my site are meant to show only the details and it's more of an abstract/aesthetic representation of the each individual pieces. I have sent new clearer images that showing the whole piece to bt, i'm sure he will replace the old images soon when he is less busy.

Tyro, unfortunately oxidation is never meant to last forever especially when it's a ring which you touch and handle constantly. Our hands produce oil and will eventually rub off part of the oxidation. First it rub off the matte "whitish" part of the oxidation(oxidized silver) and reveal the silver tint underneath. the blackened part of the oxidation is oxidized copper that remains on the surface which usually last rather long. And like all sterling silver, it also darken over the time, especially when the sterling silver is exposed to the atmosphere in the presence of trace amounts of hydrogen sulphide. Therefore, porcelain(and a few other pieces) will never return to their original state.

Midnight and twine rings are different from the others(not the piece I make for D tho). Because they are done by chemical oxidization instead of heat(flame), therefore the process is generally repeatable, which mean you can basically reoxidize the silver back to its original state as many times as you like. I do provide the service for free or you can simply DIY at home

I guess I slowly understand why they aren't many designers do what I did which is focusing on exploring different ways of oxidization and treatments, as it is often too unpredictable and simply don't last. I do sometimes fear what if customer questions the irregularities of my work, but I believe somethings are too beautiful not to share with anyone, although they don't necessary last forever. And let's not forgetting the beauty doesn't end after it's worn and aged with the wearer

[Chin]

Yes D, take them myself, small business concept:p

really nice photography chin, although you can't really tell what the pieces look like as a whole haha. you take them yourself?

so my one is special then.

lol @ the fuck me boots comment 50, how do pants accidentally get tucked in to boots that tall anyway?

[50_lions]

haha yeah I laughed preety hard. My slacks are the cropped Filippa K version which come down to just below the ankle so when drunk/kicking mini footies/sitting down it got caught up there I guess :-s

It was just the left side so it would've looked even more awkward. personal fashion awareness while drunk fail.

very 10char

[melvin7]

very nicely done chin. loving the photographs. the way they are shot and used really support your brand identity. two thumbs up!

[notsicknorwell]

afaik it'll just be you, sev3n and myself. damn it'll be the 7th mainline jacket I've owned, if it fits well it'll definitely be a permanent addition to my wardrobe.

+1 here, still undecided between black or gray but definitely will be getting it in size 3.

[fenrost]

question:

so i send the jacket off yesterday, but the tracking is still showing

Your enquiry has resulted in no details being found for this item.

???

[DJI]

takes a day or 2 to show up and once it has left oz the most accurate tracking would be from their local post website. dw about it dude, I never check tracking on a parcel that I've sent someone. hold onto your receipt just in case but I've never had a missing parcel from a sz/sufu sale regardless of shipping type.

[fenrost]

ah ok, thanks D!

[Ivans On High]

So EM don't offer refunds under any circumstances. So can anyone in Melbourne who wears a sz 11 in chucks do me a huuuuuuge favour???

what size you are kopping? 8 or 9?

[Ivans On High]

They don't have any 9s left, so I wanted to at least try the 8. I want a pretty snug fit, and a bit of pain...

Komakino may be getting another style in the next drop, but Campbell didn't know for sure (how do you not know what you order?).

[DJI]

campbell shoots from the hip...

honestly dude if you're gonna risk dropping 2K on those boots again spend ~$100 and just fly down here and try them on...

[fenrost]

Just wait for darklands next ccp..

and see what they got to offer..

[Chin]

second what D said, it will save all your troubles and worries. plus you get to try on those sick mutant gloves too haha

[Ivans On High]

honestly dude if you're gonna risk dropping 2K on those boots again spend ~$100 and just fly down here and try them on...

I also shoot from the hip...

I would love to, but I'd rather do that when I have enough money to cop CCP suit as well. Fly into Melbourne for a day, drop $10k at EM and fly back.

[fenrost]

Melbournes are so blessed to have EM and Left.

[Chin]

so true 10 char
