Pitbull Mansion still have some CON left, and I just got an email saying that they have 25% off storewide until June 30. Use VIP25 code.

And I think CON is great quality.... heaps more timeless and stylish than Ksubi any day IMHO!

[tsuedbi]

I bought a pair of CON shoes off Pitbull Mansion, really nice but i've had to get the heel re-soled after 3 weeks of light wear.

[homme.homme]

[Ichigo100%]

Some of these pieces look great... I like the mem/brain tee and the noir tee..

The mono shoes look crisp

[tsuedbi]

which ones tsuedbi??

I've forgotten the name of them but they are the black ones with a slight heel and canvas upper.

I've forgotten the name of them but they are the black ones with a slight heel and canvas upper.

You must be talking about the neo-ism low tops? My hightops wore out so quick, i think i will only get the ones with the wooden sole from the next collection...

[tsuedbi]

Yes i think those are the ones. It's a pity the soles wear out so quick as they are great shoes.

[zeke01]

I like a lot of the tee prints! And the denim, and some of the coats and shirts, but it is a bit hard to tell what they are like from some of the pics.

[seven.homme]

woww :eek:

[home]

alright, so i have a pair of these:

note the wooden sole. wore them out a few weeks ago (yeah, i know, shit move). got crunk, ended up dancing on a floor covered in broken glass, woke up in the morning to the soles covered in small & large chunks of glass ingrained in the sole. too much to remove.

my first question is, can i get shooz like this resoled at a cobbler or something? got mad OCD and i can't walk around indoors with shoes i know have glass in them.

second question, how can i prevent this in the future with timber soled shoes? can i get a cobbler to put a protective rubber layer or some shit over the soles?

kthnx.

[kpnv]

its actually leather, just layered to look like wood and i just got mine resoled with rubber (lasts longer). shit cost me 60 bucks though. i wore mine for 3 months 2-3 times a week and they were pretty well worn, so the guy had to redo the heel and everything... hope i didn't get ripped off.

[swooc]

having pez as a nickname i feel obligated to buy all the pieces labelled pez.

having said that, the prism coat looks like a winner for me. i remember julius did something similar a couple of seasons ago but never got a chance to buy it.

The CON webstore just added stock for the Viscose Rotten Apple tee. How does the sizing on the tees run? I'm hoping to grab one that measures ~20" pit to pit (M or L?).

https://www.thegrandsocial.com.au/chronicles-of-never/tops/rotten-apple-t-viscose

Can anyone tell me how their CON tees measure? Much love for anyone that can help!

[jcotteri]

CON tees are pretty slim, you need to have no chest to fit into them and for them to not hug your chest. I can physically fit into the med and large but it hugs my chest to much and i usually wear 19 inch tees pit to pit

[Tyro1]

I'm thinking these viscose tee, could be a good, cheap alternative to a Rick tee... reviews? anyone own one?

[jcotteri]

no don't but they do look awsome on my screen.. wonder if they fit different to main line

[Tyro1]

looks likes like it's narrow, and would fit nice... gonna wait until can try on, but definately getting at least one...

[home]

yeah, they be nice. i have one in dark blue. not heaps sheer, but very soft and light. i'm probably technically a small @ almost 6 foot and 60kgs, but i sized up to med. fits slim and lonnng.

[034936]

i just got a CON tee today, and i dont find it fits THAT long. longer than some but i was hoping for a tad longer. looks like i'll have to get the 95 long tee.

also, does anyone have any experience with CON denim? I'm in need of a black pair and i'm thinking of getting a pair from their s/s 08 09. quality? fit?

[James Vincent]

Thanks for the help guys, I put in an order for L on the website.

Alternatives are hard to find, and are often around $300 (Prorsum, RO), so if it fits like I'm hoping, it'll be an awesome wardrobe staple.

Speaking of CON steez, I just got these shoes from the US, from Cloak NYC. Retail was $595 USD - they're next level on CON quality. Unfortunately they're a little small. I usually wear 11 in Chucks, but these fit ~10-10.5 I paid $175 US, but I'll let them go for $170 AUD if anyone is interested.

[ChadM]

I've been looking for those Cloak shoes for SO long, but I'm pretty much the same size as you! I doubt you'll have a hard time selling them.

[home]

oh man, half size/size smaller and they would be sold.

[jcotteri]

mr vincent don,t tempt me.. i have to go to melbourne. If you still have these when i get back and the inner sole is around 11 inches or 27cm then i will grab these for sure. Link me to yor sale thread via pm if you put em up for sale.

[Terminator]

Without wanting to piss Jes or anyone else off, I'm also really interested depending upon insole measurement. I think I could get away with wearing these with a suit to work.

Otherwise I'm seriously considering buying the b store convertable oxford/boots that LostInNJ/FoundInNJ is selling. Wear them as work shoes with a suit during the week and turning them into boots on weekends. Thoughts? They might be a smidge too small though.

[James Vincent]

Haha, this is like Cinderella, seeing who fits the glass slipper...

The insole measures just a hair under 30cm (29.7cm), they're marked 11 but I would normally go for 11.5. Send me a PM if that works for you.
