Winter warmer #2

Wool

The image really doesn't do this fabric justice, the wool has a slight iridescent quality, showing blue hues through to deep black.

Cozy. I have always liked the fabric on the CCP, but I can't handle turtlenecks, feels like I'm choking. Who did the second one?

The fabric is quite something, rough but forgiving at the same time.
I did think there was a round neck iteration however.
The second piece is LuC.

I have a hate-love relationship with turtlenecks due to the choking mentioned aswell but I really do love this CCP one. The cut itself is great but I really like the pattern used here.

Really like that ccp turtleneck. I would also highly recommend the ma+ turtleneck from this season. The raglan cut and the tight sleeves are really amazing.

Skeleton Key Boots from CON.

[zamb]

the shape and simplicity of those boots are OK but I would certainly buy the finest grade sandpaper I can buy and rub then a bit, and I would certainly chance the laces to something with no stitching at all

Lost, that turtleneck is gonna choke ya. Atelier couldn't give them away at 80% off...

^true, on par with the rat necks from a few years ago

Looks the shoe quality from CoN has really improved from a few years back, like...really improved. I, too, am not a fan of the leather and laces, but it's no biggie. They will hopefully age nicely. Definitely like the shape.

I don't see how people can wear turtle necks in general, and the CCP ones are just ridiculous. I was assisted with a silk cloth over my head when trying one on...seriously...one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn.

The second piece is LuC.

I was thinking "Luca should do something chunkier, like this" – seems like I've stepped down in the LUC game. Is it from this season?

i think the shorter derby looks like a posture corrective shoe.

^ lol

I don't know it's good idea but, I'm thinking about add extra sole to make it more look like a creeper version + protect original sole..

[Haven]

Picked them up rather cheap so I thought to myself they're worth a punt!

Zam, I was thinking the same way about the laces, as soon as they arrive I'm bringing then to my local leather store to see if they have anymore fitting laces. But treating a pair of boots with sandpaper is something I've never done before, would you say it's easy?

[kuugaia]

^ Literally just rub until you are satisfied (wow...that actually sounds erotic...haha). It's a faster way to 'age them' so to speak. Could put on some leather care products afterwards, like protectant, if you want.
