    Can leather jackets be altered without butchering the whole jacket?
    Im thinkin about a certain BBS jacket (J5 vinyl treatment) but the fit is i a bit ill in my opniom around the abdomen.

    The vinyl process can make it bit structured and loose through the side, but it still remains fairly fitted through the upper body.

    For me it just looks weird in the mid sextion.

      Hi guys! i would need your help, hope u can understand :) i'm working on my final thesis project and I want to relate it to the avant garde fashion world.. i would need to gather as much information as possible regarding the different kinds of materials used by avant garde fashion designers in order to create one list.. well, you could help me out by checking what you have in your wardrobe, by looking at the items you have or on your knowledge about this industry.. (the rarest and weirdest the materials, the better.:different kinds of leather, silver,...).. it would be perfect if you could also mention the designer, for example: Rigards- horn glasses. etc..
      thanks a lot in advance! have a nice day

        This particular jacket is cut funny per se already and the vinyl only added to the hurt.

            A good tailor can alter any garment, especially if you want it made smaller. Find a tailor who specializes in leather.

              i need to look into this. Cant be bothered to drop a load of cash to a jacket that has to be altered and no guarantee of the outcome.

                What are these types of pants called and where can I find them? They are really wide at the thigh area then taper even before the knee. I think they are a style that have gone many tens of years ago.

                    Anyone got any photos/able to direct me to pictures of the white Rick Mastosneaks high tops being worn in the wild so to speak? I thought little of them when they came out but are growing on me (though I suspect this is partly driven by the fact they are clearly going to end up massively discounted in the sales)

                      They work with anything. I live in NYC and it's the rick x adidas sneaker that i see the most aside from the horde of hypebeasts wearing geobaskets. I have an all black wardrobe and if i was to get a rick x adidas shoe i would get this one in this colorway. The rest are cheaper variants of their better counterparts in mainline rick.

                        I think he’s referring to these:



                        I gotta say they’ve grown on me as well although I’m not too fond of the logo on the back of the heel.

                            aye, Nickefuge, those are the ones I'm on about.

                            I'm just not sure if I'm being swayed more by the fact they're clearly going to hit 70% off and thus I want to see any more photos of people wearing them. As they seem not to have sold at all (hence why they're going to be hugely disocunted) there's fuck all photos

                              I bet these will look great once they’re all beat up.
