haha you guys are awesome..

nothing much better than a ccp suit..

speaking of which that size 54! on sz fits like a size 48.. crazy :|

D Congrats. mate

ccp sizing is really all over the place. i asked Stephen the size consistency of the ccp suits.. i guess it's hard to say as they have all different cut and process -selvedge/object dye/tape/seams etc etc.. so sizing can be vary.. it's scary to kop a ccp suit via online.

i feel so tempted to kop the volga volga black light weight hooked long shirt. sigh. abit too goth.. but damn it's amazing..

LEFT are now stocking Julius.. apparently EM will not be getting a delivery.

Well done on finishing up D

everyone here is out of control balla lately. I need to step up my game.

the DD thread Christian put up on SZ has some nice pieces, but then I read it may be samples. :/

[lotek01]

so EM took LEFT's m.a+ and LEFT took EM's Julius...

[Tyro1]

so EM took LEFT's m.a+ and LEFT took EM's Julius...

personally I think this sort of suits both stores best

[btbam]

woah

id prefer MA+ & Julius MA

[Chin]

have u seen the new gareth pugh in LEFT 50?

[50_lions]

haha! seems to be... I also agree with T 100%. The slight shift in direction LEFT is taking after talking to Mia sounds amazing. I'll certainly be stopping in there more often.

have u seen the new gareth pugh in LEFT 50?

Yeah, they've already moved a bit of stock bit but the few pieces I did see were mind blowing, seriously in another league. The dedicated shopfront installation looks so good, everyone should look out for it at night, comes with some crazy lighting effects.

[034936]

[lotek01]

Wow I didn't know LEFT stocked Pugh. Is it only womanswear?

[fenrost]

yeah about time for EM, and i think it's gonna be an interesting buy.

Also forgot to add that EM is gonna stock CCP women soon as well.

[50_lions]

yeah it was just womanswear that I saw. was in a hurry and didn't ask about menswear.. will next time I go in.

[Tyro1]

WTF is with Jack london? Who buys the shit? Just overheard some rep talking about them opening a new flinders lane store? I'm surprised they pay rent on the stores they have let alone open new ones.

[DJI]

azn kids who are still on the heidi trip? surprised they can afford/justify another store in the cbd, honestly though I'd consider buying one of their suits if I were on a serious budget but I've already pretty much decided my next suit will be from lad...

[lotek01]

The worst thing about Jack London stores are the sales assistants, with their ridiculo haircuts and attitude like they know anything at all (except, apprently, about the obvious Hedi worship/thievery of the label). Maybe it's just me and I'm biased, maybe some of you lurkers work there and I'm totally wrong and it's just a job but man.

That said, not all their stuff is bad, I'd get the basics cos they fit slim and are well-priced, although quality is admittedly pretty shit.

[DJI]

yeah agree on the SA's there, terrible attitude especially considering they're working for such a low rent brand. a mate was considering buying a suit there but left because he got fed up with the dudes working there.

the angora wool basics last season were solid for the price as are their shirts and suiting, everything else they sell is utter trash though.

[034936]

the fabrics are so nasty. main deterrent for me.

[DJI]

you get what you pay for, at under $500 at least it'll fit better than peter jackson and the like.

[fenrost]

i can't even remember when was the last time i step into JL... however i must admit i do own a number of stuff from them, belts, pants, shirts.... hahaha..

surprisingly.. they are all still in good shape.. especially the pants.. wearing them for almost a year...

[lotek01]

I have shirts that are starting to feel a little flimsy but have otherwise held up fairly well, but their jersey pieces (have a henley) that has absolutely disintegrated and warped after the first wash.

[fenrost]

well a correction for me, not all are in good condition.. hahaha

like some of their basics.. have totally lost it's original shape and soon will go to the bin, same goes with my dd and ro basics.. but of course that's like many months of constant wear and wash.
