    Re: Your recent purchases

    [quote user="Faust"]

    /\ I am going after work. Was there anything else that caught your eye?



    It's a good piece, a classic - you'll have to be careful with the color though. I wish Margiela would go back to using the chunky RY zippers - I think they were half the allure of the jacket.

    Yea those zipper (heads) Kinda suck........ I have a similar Jacket i am making for myself, and i am using the Riri Zippers in Antique Brass with Black heavy Cotton..........



    I notice CCP uses also these Zippers in some of his Boots....... its a shame because his boots are so nice he should use RiRi zippers





    that aside its a nice jacket though........for me personally I just dont wear anything white (except t shirts and dress shirts) as i dont feel comfortable in it, ..... I had some white pieces that i never wore and ended up giving them away......





    BTW what did you snag in Antwerp Faust?



    I sm excited to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I really like the white!



      Are the rider's jackets always Line 14?



      I saw two men on (two) vintage Vespas and (two different) Margiela leather jackets a few weeks back. It was a funny mishmash of mod and Belgian and fabulous that ended up working.

      That's a good question. I think lately I've seen them only from 14, although the line is only a few years old.

          casius and explicit - great looking CCP shoes. Makes me want a pair too. Are they true to size?




          Faust - sorry about your coat. That season of Junya has to get at least one size up.

            Buckwheat- Not at all. I wear a 11.5-12 US, and I got an 11 and they are a 'tad' bit big, nothing dramatic though. I could have easily gone down to a 10 though and stretched the leather some. So 2 sizes down seems about right.

              ^^^ Yeah, 2 sizes down is the way to go. I wear a 43.5-44 and I picked up a CCP size 9. They fit perfectly.



              Casius, you try putting some insoles in them?

                No, not yet, I probably should though. I kinda wish I could have returned them for 10's but ah well,they are still comfortable. Gentry recommended I wear them around a little before sticking an insole in them.
                Explicit- How much room approximately do you from the tip of the shoe to your big toe? Maybe my fitment issue really isn't an issue at all, and I'm just not used to the pointy toe.

                  Re: Your recent purchases



                  I went to Atelier today to see if they had any Ann's coats left. They did not, but they are starting 40% off tomorrow, so I got the same l/s shirt by Yohji Yamamoto that ddongho got - I love it. They were kind enough to give me the sale price so I don't have to come back.



                  And I am getting the Ann coat at Barneys - there was nothing in the Boston one, and nothing in the LA one, and I don't want to take any chances, small sizes go quickly.

                      Thanks guys. I will keep the sizing for reference in the future.

                          doh, of course. cheers.



                          damn that is exactly the type of bag i have been looking for, but in canvas. T:



                          i guess i'll email them tomorrow about how much it costs... but does anyone know offhand? i'm assuming in the 600-700 range? damn i'm sleepy.

                            Merz, I'm pretty sure they still have it. I don't think it's going on sale though (at least not now).

                              Guys, we are now "official." Office Depot was having a sale for business cards (250 of them for .99c), so I couldn't resist, lol. I'll snap a picture when they arrive. BTW, if someone is running a side business (like Albert), maybe it's worth taking advantage? Here is a link, just in case. They are very basic, but for .99c shipped, who cares?
