Re: CCP leather jacket



Kronik, I agree with most of the guys on here. Sounds like you're learning to swim by jumping in the deep end. I'd recommend a good place to start would be to try to pick up some boots by one of these designers. It will be way cheaper for you, probably mesh with your wardrobe better, and easier to find an appropriate size for you. Especially for someone w/ your build (I'm just a size down from you bro..) you can easily get burned when ordering something you haven't tried on in person. Almost all pieces I've gotten from phone, website, or ebay I have been dissappointed with.

While that jacket is sick (and looks great on the SZ member that posted picks), I worry that it might not be as versatile as you might think. It seems a little ackward wearing it open. If you're dead set on a CCP leather jacket, I'd think a standard overlock would be a better buy.

Re: CCP leather jacket



Agreed with soultek. It's a severe jacket and if you haven't seen CCP leather or tried it on before you won't really know what that means I don't think. It's got a look and feel to it that doesn't quite translate in photos and even though it's black... it has a very specific look.

Boots are a great great great way to start with CCP. Literally build from the ground up. Look into accessories such as belts as well.... Carol is a genius with belt design!

Re: CCP leather jacket



Kronik,

I remember that I was in the same boat as you are when I made my first CCP purchase. THAT was a HUGE splurge for me. Especially when I actually made the leather trench purchase.

I don't think see it as a cost(although many would see it otherwise) but an investment in my wardrobe. Again, as been put forth by alot of people already that you need to branch out first (ie just like dating different people) and you will eventually find that if CCP is truly fits you.

The best way to start would be like Casius mentioned, Rick Owens. Although yes I am bias. I prefer RO. Margiela is always a good bet. and same with Raf and Dior(ok not the past few season but earlier seasons VOTC). The next one up would be MA+. Overtime. I have grown to realize that although the clothings are expensive it will last you forever..

so on a different CCP tangent, what do you guys think of that womens 40 green overlock that dude is selling on ebay? He refuses to put up real pictures of the product, but the measurements he provides are ridiculously short given the piece. It doesn't match the yoox picture; the measurements he gave pretty much crops the piece at a belly button length.

Is it worth bidding to try to get a steal, or would I most likely be burned?

That's weird - why wouldn't he put up real pictures? Sounds fishy.

Divo, I don't like the color, and since it's suede, you wouldn't be able to dye it. Also, like merz have mentioned before a leather shirt proper (not the CDiem style, which I consider a light leather jacket) is a bit strange. I would say no.

Re: CCP leather jacket

hello. first post. really appreciate the enthusiasm on this board. i've been loosely following this CCP fencing jacket thread as it snakes through forums as best I can and i wanted to offer my thoughts on it since I have indeed purchased the jacket a few weeks ago. when i saw this piece on atelier's website, I gasped. i've never gasped when looking at clothing. i've been spending way to much money on clothes lately, the obsession started with cloak in 04 then went to dior, thom browne, (the 9 yr uniformed catholic school boy in me. btw MA+ mid size boots look great with TB, i know how much everybody here loves thom so perhaps i should shut up), then detoured through number nine, demueleameester, and now is firmly lusting after MA+ and now CCP. even if i buy something buy MA+, it doesn't matter, i want something else by him, you know the story.

but i felt compelled to write because i liked CCP for a year, had bought a pair of rain trousers and was impressed by the tailoring and fit. I even bought the atelier suit thinking that it would grow on me in the fall...but it was the fencing jacket when all deals were off. without a doubt the coolest piece of clothing i've ever seen, worn, etc. now everything by CCP makes sense to me. seeing the video of the models s/s 2004 floating down the river also reinforced that he is an unbelievable artist.

for 5-6k in the art world you can't get much more than a small drawing. if you think of the fencing jacket as art, which i do, seems more than reasonable, kind of a steal actually. i feel really lucky to have gotten it.

so, kronik, if you can get one somehow, you really should because it's a phenemonal piece. you can start at the top because it activates everything at the bottom. i wouldn't say that about everything. this is a ligthning rod.
