    Re: Your recent purchases

    I think for a highly stylized jacket like that, Hare is a good buy. But the quality of Hare garments is really bad, so dont expect it to last more than a season of wear.

      I seriously love love your jacket threerepute. So adding to everyone's obsession with leather jackets, here's my find:





      It's 3 days old. Been searching since last year for the perfect black leather jacket. I had to settle with a grey and cognac color instead. I searched again this season and got lucky. Butter soft leather from TheCast who are two independent designers from NYC. This particular jacket they only sell in stores in Japan, but they hooked me up and so they're mine. I also have a black sleeveless cashmere Cloak hoodie from SS05 that's on its way! When is DSM online gonna happen? I need to unload my store credit! Ugggghhhhh!!!!

        Oh yeah, I could totally tell that even from the web pics - if you look the jacket up on the web, you can see threads coming off with tons of lint on the jacket! Although I was actually surprised the fabric felt as good as it does: I like it even better than Raf's boiled wool in some of his coats that are 6 times as expensive. But I know the quality isn't great - for only $200, I was certain it was going to be made more cheaply than it actually is. I'm not gonna complain...yet. [:D]

              Well, I don't think I should post it here since I've had it since 2004.

                  Got a pair of 45rpm sorahiko jeans off of Ebay (thanks ColdRice for advising on these). The denim looks really beautiful. I think this completes my jeans color palette ranging from pale blue to black.

                      I know it's a bit of a faux paus [sic?] but how much did you pick these up for? I need a new pair of denim (My current pair are almost worn in) and the denim in those looks absolutely gorgeous. There's no way I can swing full price on those.

                        $200 (my most expensive pair!).



                        ColdRice, the seller was asking $200 for BIN, which is what I offered, and he ended the auction for me.

                              Those are double identities, right? If you keep looking, there appear to be many stores which stock them online. Seven New York, for one. Just google "double identity shoes."

                                Call Tim Langevin at the first store listed in their stores section. I'm returning the size 8s to Jake because they're too big for me (see my post on my blog). Mayhap they'll fit you - I'm sending them back tomorrow.





                                Just keep in mind that they're supposed to be washed leather, so these ones are worn and grungy. Kinda nice that way. I wish they fit me.
