Small questions thread

[kuriz]

I'm visiting my family in Ireland (Northern part) for the first time ever in the beginning of May. Is there any SZ-affiliate stores or anything SZ-related there I could include in my plans?

dji, thanks for this great info. You mention that the drkshdw fits snugger. Does that mean that if I take a 42 in the mainline, I should size up a 1/2 size or full size for drkshdw?

Thanks again!

no worries! I'd say go with the same size, the insole/outsole are the same it's just the upper feels a bit closer fitting to the foot (at least to me).

Thanks again - much appreciated. Think I'm going with the mainline tall leather Ramones without laces.

How to shrink cashmere?

I have the L'Maltieri cashmere cardigan that Faust is selling, wonder if there is a way to shrink the size back to what it originally was (or smaller) without ruining it?

This is a question for all CCP Fencing jacket owners. I've owned a horsehide Fencing for almost a month now in a size 52, which for the most part fits perfectly, in both the torso and arms; now I'm not sure if I have odd proportions but the sleeves from the elbow down seem excessively long and the sleeve opening seems rather wide.

Looking at numerous images online of people wearing their fencing jackets, with their arms at their side, the sleeve seems to end nicely at the wrist (or slightly below it). Mine on the other hand extends past my knuckles, with a very wide sleeve opening, not far from my finger nails making it very irritating and cumbersome to wear.

Is there a solution to this? Perhaps submerging only the sleeves in hot water to induce some shrinkage?

wearing gloves will prevent your nails from catching on the sleeve if that is what is bothering you.

I had the exact same problem with a RO leather (everything like you say: pics of other people looking nicely with sleeve length etc)…. the only solution I found was to have the jacket altered by a taylor to shorten the sleeves… and it worked extremely fine. Now I have a jacket perfectly adapted to my body and it looks (and feels) amazing.
But I understand it take a little bit of balls to decide to alter this type of garment…

Need some first hand info regarding the bbs 'sandals', please share whatever you can if you have them or tried them on.

How do they wear? Are they comfortable?

I have 3 pieces from F/W 2012/13 Resonance 2 of them are runway pieces and pretty pricey with out exception all 3 with in few weeks end up with broken zippers. Does anyone has the similar problem if you had what did you do is there a way to call North America Julius ( even if there is one ) to complain and ask for new one I tried to go through friends from Gallery Aesthate they tried but Julius wasnt very helpful according to them.
Problem is mainly with Dbl zip function and believe me before i write something (I can be a complainer but not too keen to write about it) i practice and work on them hours finally take them to local leather place they told me they were just bad zippers and couldnt do anything about it but replace them.

Is this a wrong thread for this post or this really didn't ever happen to anyone else??

[lowrey]

well usually you should go through the store which you purchased them from. But you said they broke within a few weeks yet they are from 1.5 years ago?
