^ Agreed. The leather is extremely soft and supple. What I like in particular is the buttons used on their garments...just adds a nice touch to it.

I've just ordered these Christian Peau boots from Oki-Ni in a UK size 7:
I think Christian Peau is one of the more interesting Japanese designers emerging at the moment - you can see his influences very clearly and I don't feel he has yet developed a strong vision of his own, but some of his pieces are superb, especially the leather jackets.
The boots are a bit of an experiment for me - they don't look like one of his more interesting efforts, but they were a pretty good price - £150 (reduced from £400 in the sale). The last pair!
They look a bit flimsy compared to some of his I've seen, so I wonder if they might be 'watered down' for western consumption.
The sole looks unusual, I'm not sure how or whether to vibram these:
Anyway, I'll see how it goes.

LOL, no. I think there was something on their website explaining the name, but I don't remember what.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

unearthing a relic of a thread here, but i'm eyeing off a christian peau leather jacket (online only unfortunately) and was just wondering if anyone around here's familiar with their sizing? i.e. are they normally fairly TTS or would it be wiser to size up? hard to find info on these guys.
cheers
