any recommendations for nice specs in melbourne, i.e. brands to look out for or shops to check out (other than occhio)? have a pair of orgreen frames that I still like a lot but would like another pair of good glasses.

[fenrost]

^ Anne et Valentin?

So stoke today. Remember I had to bail the ccp 09 dropcrotch in the suit fabric? I end up receiving a pair from a very generous man for free! And it's almost brand new! Can't find the tags but whatever, I completed the "trilogy"..

[DJI]

crazy, wish I had generous benefactors giving gifts of jawns haha. you picked up your fencing yet Rob? still waiting on fit pics man.

been meaning to check out anne et valentin, any stockists in melbourne besides occhio? probably best off with a metal frame as my glasses tend to get knocked around a bit.

[notsicknorwell]

[Ivans On High]

I guess it's time I put my list down in writing;

- RO SS09 Intarsia Jacket

- RO wedge sole Combats

- RO all black sneakers

- CCP Fencing

- CCP scar-stitch green/black leather

- CCP dipped oxfords

still waiting on DBSS FW10 preview shots...

[notsicknorwell]

(please convince me not to cop guys )

:p:p

Glad to see you've changed your mind on the slim boots though.

[DJI]

thanks Nick.

still a matter of whether the slim boots will fit though, Tyler said the size 2 fit him perfectly and he's usually a 3 in their footwear...

[notsicknorwell]

Can always sell them to me lol, it just means I'd hold off on my own purchase for a week or so. But yeah I was concerned at what he meant by that really.

[DJI]

I think I rather wait for measurements/feedback before pulling the trigger. the only _7 boots that have fit me truly well are my tall engineers...

[notsicknorwell]

Is there a particular online shop whose measurements you've found to be pretty spot-on? If anything is going to cockblock your purchase of that leather jacket it would be how they fit this coming season anyway.

[DJI]

not really unfortunately, generally I just take an average of all the measurements given or compare their measurements for items I've owned/tried on to try and work out how far off they usually are.

the fit of the cowl neck leather looks slim enough from the archive's pic, at least compared to the rider and asymm cowl anyway. thing is the ekam leather looked good on me even though it was quite a loose fit, I guess the style of jacket doesn't demand a tight fit the same way the jut or moto do.

[fenrost]

(please convince me not to cop guys )

if you foresee that you are gonna resell.. then no kop!!

[DJI]

can't foresee reselling this one and I don't imagine this style of jacket would be a regular addition to their collections, I think the cowl neck jackets and coats that are a focus of this season's mainline and MA collections will basically be limited to this season.

[fenrost]

oook! kop!

[Ivans On High]

anyone here got any clothing racks i.e. the ones that sit outside your wardrobe, like in a retail fit out? I'm looking for a nice one, but all I can find are cheap looking chrome ones. Any leads would be appreciated.\

Something like this:

[DJI]

thanks for the rundown Dave, added to my cop list haha.

I'd like something like that clothes rack too but my house gets too dusty...

[wept]

why not make your own out of pipe. go to bunnings. screw it all together. paint it whatever nice muted colour you want and BAM. instant clothes rack. im still yet to make one but i prob will soon. these pictures are from SZ.

edit: i think i priced it all at about 150 bucks, which in my mind isnt much considering it keeps your expensive jawns off the floor.

[home]

^ luks gud. i need to do that. also want to make some furniture, even cardboard furniture, but i never get around to it.

motherfuck fuck fuck fuck, accidentally booked an inter-euro flight through zuji on the wrong date. call zuji and they tell me the flight is non-transferable/refundable and all my CC 'call centre' can tell me is that the payment was approved and to talk to zuji.

have i done my dough?

[swooc]

is the diy rack made of pvc or metal pipes? i need something heavy duty. i've got a metal one with plastic joints and it can't withstand the weight of my heavy jawnz .

[wept]

i know how u feel swooc. you put a couple of leathers on something and it bends so bad. its made of threaded pipe and its F**K'in strong. Part of the reason it would be good for SUFU people. id recommend putting a pipe down the bottom, connecting the left to the right side so you can complete the frame and make the top bar stronger.

[swooc]

ooo sounds good. gonna give it a try.
