ah that sucks then. they should have chosen better words haha.

he estimated 10 mins, and a 'maximum wait' of 20.

[Ivans On High]

Do they have AW BBS at Harolds?

edit: that deaddrops idea is neato. What did you put on it daverobertclark?

[dzerzhinsky]

to contribute a place of interest under the "pub meal" category

Percy's 12.50 pot & parma every day of the week, classic Carlton pub, run by some AFL player from the 70s, full of old blokes. good sticky-date.

Yeah Harolds in the city have AW BBS, quite a large buy actually. Any particular pieces you're interested in?

No Julius yet though.

[Ivans On High]

The leathers mostly, can you remember which ones they have? What is their pricing like compared to say ink or hlorenzo?

Cheers man.

[50_lions]

the only leather I remember them having was this one, Raw correct me if i'm wrong:

prices are OK, only 100-150 or so more than Hlorenzo/Ink.

[Raw Selvedge]

Yeah that's the only leather jacket they had, was around $2200 ish I think. They had 3 pairs of boots, the boiled wool jacket, jeans, a bunch of basics.

[Ivans On High]

Too much anti-fit going on in that jacket for my liking.

[Raw Selvedge]

^^^ Agree, didn't look good at all when I tried it on.

[MoreFire]

I actually loved this leather when handling it in person. It is this one isn't it? But yeah, didnt fit me at all. Problem is the elbow section which was really off and bunched up strange somewhere above my elbow. And it fits quite small, tried on a M which was really slim on me (a 46).

So happy I finally found a LUC knit (: Was above my budget but .. yeah .. used some birthday gifts and there you go.

[Raw Selvedge]

Yeah that one, I had the same problem, the whole arm fit weird, mostly the elbow though as you mentioned. I tried on a large, the body fit ok, the rest was just bleh. I just didn't feel comfortable in it at all, or maybe it's coz I'm used to my _7 lamb nubuck jacket which fits so comfortably on me .

On another note, god damn those Augusta Horween Shell Cordovan lace up boots in the classifieds look stunning.

[wept]

what LUC knit did you buy MoreFire? Pictures please, if possible

sidenote: i need to start copping shoes. basically after a pair of oversized sneakers (oldstyle DBSS or new RO sneakers as seen here). what are peoples opinions on the RO's.

im also looking for some ankle high boots. the red soled augustas that XSKY on SZ is selling look nice but it pains my wallet to cop em.

feel free to chime in with alternatives. located in melb or online

[conqueror]

after wearing claudes for (almost two years) non-stop, i am about to buy a pair of samurai's. its gonna take some used to wearing jeans that aren't almost painted on.

What Samurai's are you getting Jake? Changed your mind on jeans since our last chat

[conqueror]

i'm not sure yet - i'm pretty sure rhd are sold out of my size at the moment. i talk to andy (owner) pretty often when i walk by and i think he just eventually won me over. i definitely did a total 180 from our last talk haha.

also, i'm not sure if many du's on here would be interested but there's a store here called one arm scissor that has recently just started stocking band of outsiders as well as common projects (i think, not 100% on the cp's).

edit: are you still after red wings? a place here has started stocking them too, just brown and black though. what's happened to my dear old adelaide, all this cool shit popping up.

(sorry to semi-hijack a melbourne thread, but the aus one is dead compared to this).

[eversuns]

yeah still after a pair, in brown. What are they selling? They are probably crazy priced though?

[conqueror]

i'll check the prices and let you know in the next few days; i don't imagine they will be too insanely priced.

[fenrost]

what are peoples opinions on the RO's.

handled the current seasons at antonioli and corso como, they are nice, sole looked sturdier..

[034936]

the aus retail will always be higher than online though

wtf?

[conqueror]

wow, what happened?

[conqueror]

it doesn't even look like claude to me.

[conqueror]

ps i don't like blondes but that girl is purdy.

[fenrost]

hmm. their aw09 campaign shot was more interesting

[Ivans On High]

there is one print tee that has definitely been done before, so maybe Dave is right. Or maybe his poor attempt at BBS/Damir and his $275 shitty cotton tees didn't sell very well and he has decided to back track.

[fenrost]

oh! not sure if it's mentioned, but, extremely late, l.e.f.t received their aw10 dd not too long ago.

[Ivans On High]

l.e.f.t are stocking Augusta now aren't they? Any word on when they are expecting their first shipment?

[notsicknorwell]

anyone know if Vertice ever goes on sale? eyeing something from them but their staff provides measurements in inches and not laid out flat even though I asked specifically for centimeters and flat they're the only ones who have the item though.

also Adam I'm headed to Melbourne this weekend was there anything BBS you wanted me to check out for you at Harrold's?

[Ivans On High]

I already gave them a call, but there was nothing there I was particularly after. Cheers though. Maybe pick me up some CCP from EM though. I'll pay you when you get back. Promise.

They do indeed.
