they have Old Town in Australia? did not know that..

also, any particular places for awesome coffee?

[DJI]

not the same chain as in malaysia, the ones here are actually decent haha.

only really good coffee place I'm familiar with is brother baba budan, Dave would have a lot more recommendations though.

apologies for the previous rant, the food situation at the docklands does piss me off though.

[fenrost]

hey guys, a question. just need some clarity:

are python leather completely banned in australia? if no, are there/what are the particular procedures/written letter of a python leather goods to import into Australia? Looks like not gonna be an easy one

sigh. saw a potential grail..hopefully will get completely disabled : \

[fenrost]

^ok thanks! i knew i would get disabled

since saw the m.a+ in person, the shapes been slowing growing into me, and then saw these carpes - the texture of the leather, amazing. grail status for sure.

[fenrost]

hmm. imma need to ask stephen this..since EM used to, if not mistaken, carry exotic leathers from augusta/avantindietro that made of stingrays/ etc etc?

[fenrost]

i dunno. i am scared to kop as what happens if custom will impound them and then get destory by dewha. o noes. not to mention it isnt cheap either mang! i hate internet kopping.

edit: ok.

[Deiv]

there's some more info here although it's quite hard to interpret, it's probably best to just give them a call.

[kuugaia]

Let us know how it goes Rob. I really wanted to kop a wm python leather bracelet...

[DJI]

as balla as python leather is it does look kinda tacky...

[fenrost]

They are pretty sweet mang! Crazy boots. Will wear it with all black fit.

But i will pass. I will stick back to CCPs. : \

Rob's words to live by haha but yeah I agree with Dave, if you didn't wear the Avantins you won't wear these.

[notsicknorwell]

woah thats pretty cool. any chance you know what lens were used?

Looks like I was wrong earlier, only the season finale (available via torrents since this afternoon) was filmed with the 5D. Some of the information you were looking for: http://www.petapixel.com/2010/04/09/house-season-finale-filmed-entirely-with-canon-5d-mark-ii/

Nooo wayyyzzz!

Except for the skull pendant part I reckon it looks pretty sweet.

And I'd like to say you guys are messed up. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/1053729/man-injured-in-freeway-rock-throwing

That's really close to my house, there's been a bit of trouble here lately, there was a riot a few weeks ago...

[Ivans On High]

My high-collar sold. Now, to live life without a full leather jacket and cop CCP spiral zips, or choose another leather?

[fenrost]

question, why sell the ro ss jacket? wasnt that jkt look great on you?

kop another ro jkt or ccp, since u know ur sizing...

[DJI]

agree with Rob, a leather jacket is an essential part of a man's wardrobe so cop a new one!

[Ivans On High]

I grew tired of the flappy collar, and thought the AW would sit better (which it did), but the leather wasn't as nice and the sizing was off slightly.

I thought I would go for the SS10 intarsia from LVR which is priced pretty well, or a SS09 moto-collar (need a medium in this one though).

[Ivans On High]

what are murder clothes?

Also, what's sizing like on PH jackets? Or would someone 6'3" be too tall for them?

[DJI]

SS08 or SS09 intarsia would be the go imo, the SS10 medium collar version looks mad cheap. either that or cop a sissy p leather...

[btbam]

A id say you would find PH slightly too small as i am the same height as you

But i havent tried PH on for over a year now :\

Rob?

[Ivans On High]

Fair call T. I am planning a trip to Melbourne next month or so, so will go to EM and make my mind up then.

As for the SS10 intarsia, I do prefer the giove lambskin version over the oiled calf, but don't think it looks cheap. I think with some wear it would look great.

CCP leather is way out of my league at this stage...

[DJI]

I still like the high collar of the FW09 version better but the leather was all kinds of suck.

think of a ccp leather as an investment in the future and/or insanity haha.

[Deiv]

Sleeve length would be the biggest issue with PH. The longer cut blazer I think would look on someone as tall as you compared to the classic cut

[fenrost]

Rob?

i am a regular 46, and wear small in PH. generally.

so, 48 = medium, consensus speaking

stephen showed me some of his pics at the avantindeitro showroom today, seriously next level.... all i can say is that if avantindeitro did fully unleash the clothes, it will washout all other offspring into obscurity. even the current m.a+, cannot compare.

and weird that stephen keep saying i look like the young proprietor of lift. : \

arr rook arike?

dunno why ccp boots still give me a cowboy vibe every time I see them worn...

[fenrost]

yeah, its easier to wear a ph jacket than a ccp jacket. less boxiness.

[fenrost]

cowboy boots are sexy.

[DJI]

[Ivans On High]

you're crazy man ^

those boots are pure sex.
