P.S. anyone knoe a good spot to go bushwalking camping over night near melbourne? How long does it take to drive to Wilson's Prom?

[Tyro1]

Hey guys, havent had a second to get back to heap of emails as the past two weeks ive been in the shop all day every day, will get back to everyone asap.

no problems, hope the store is coming along!

will send you another email just to make sure you have it.

[DJI]

haha, I thought melbourne always won over sydney anyway

wilsons prom is about 3 hours drive T.

no problems, hope the store is coming along!

will send you another email just to make sure you have it.

ditto, good to hear back from you bt

[home]

yeah wilsons is about 3.

i'd recommend the grampians. i went there all the time when i was a kid. some good tracks up there.

victory is ours. ha.

[wept]

tyro, wilsons prom is lovely but its been massively burnt out due to the fires. im not sure if its still a 'no go zone' but it should be ok now if your thinking of heading there.

This is the best pic I have on hand

Thanks I just sent you a pm

btbam may just be busy with shop opening stuff. I was hoping to grab some CON tees from him also, but I just assumed he was still waiting on stock etc.

anyone seen new collections hitting shelves?

Ian from restricted premises said drop in 10 days, and that was 2 days ago. But that may just be for RP as its Gareth's shop.

[Tyro1]

I think most of the stockists would get stock around the same time. At worst a week late.

[50_lions]

So did CM get that order in yesterday? Anyone check it out?

[034936]

despite all that is said about CON's originality etc, i predict its going to be quite painful for me to see the new season come and go. employment pains.

I just dropped by, only new pieces they have is a dual layer cotton/wool sweater where the bottom layer is an inverted singlet. the girl at the store said they have had delays from the manufacturer and customs, however about 10 new pieces should arrive next week.

I tried on the drop crotch sweats while I was over there, no chance at all of pulling them off. I look like I have no arse with most jeans and these just looked straight up ridiculous on me haha.

fat had malmo suiting and coats in store, same sort of manufacturing quality as hem & haw...

[Tyro1]

Hey D, you decide if you are going to check out any of LMFF shows?

mmmmm delays. annoying. Hopefully the stuff drops next weeeeeek.

hahah @ drop crotch... I'm not sold on the idea of them tbh... they always seem to be 'oh look I lyke fashionz' if ya know what I mean.

In other news I just copped these and the wait will be painful. Thanks to Ivans On High for the heads up!

Where: CARLTON HOTEL & STUDIOS

Street: 193 BOURKE ST

[DJI]

haven't decided yet. a friend is seeing whether they can score free tix to some of the shows, will definitely go if they can. tbh there aren't any shows that I want to see enough to bother spending ~$40 on unless there is going to be a big sufu turn out or something .

[Tyro1]

Yeah I'm about the same, there isnt anything I'm actually excited to see. Wouldn't really pay for it, but if there was going to be an event would probably go along.

[DJI]

just have to wait and see if any of the other locals are bothering with it this year then, not looking all that likely thus far though...

thanks for the heads up mel , I'll probably head there on the thursday even though it's probably just scraps from the sydney sale.

[Tyro1]

that's a weird place for the sample sale...

next to the TAB on bourke street?

[DJI]

yeah that's the one T. it is an odd place for a sale, easy for me to get to before class though

[Tyro1]

yeah, at least it is convenient!

[home]

i don't think i've not regretted attending a 'sale' in the last two years.

wonder if it'll be any good..

[home]

anyone going to v-fest or any of the sideshows?

the kills/louis xiv could be worth a watch.. but fuck, 60 dollars. ha.

[Tyro1]

this is true, especially if you go to some effort to get there.

Major fails include

Ksubi

Fat

Assin (outlet)

[DJI]

speaking of fail sales:

they have to be fucking kidding with that discount....

[wept]

copped.

i have wanted a drkshdw gimp hoodie for ages but this viridi anne was just tot tempting.

[DJI]

lol, I just +repped you on that one in RP. imo it beats the drkshdw hoodie just for the fit, even in XS drkshdw pieces run huge...

hoping the CON sale will be worthwhile, will cop lame basics, denim and jewelery if it's cheap (and available )...

[wept]

id ask you to scout some items for me DJI but im to lazy to figure out what i want plus im being a tight ass (nohomo).

[DJI]

haha, well if anyone wants me to scope out whether they have any items just let me know .

[Tyro1]

will check out the sale, but dont really have my hopes up...

[jcotteri]

Gets my approval wept, if i wasnt os i would have copped no problems i think!

why isnt Lui Hon at LMFF?
