    that looks like ccp.

    I honestly dont like the ccp a1923 comparison, at times their boots look alike but the clothing is quiet different imo. Carol has more structure and is a bit more classic whereas a1923 is more experimental with more distressing (que the CD comparisons). i am glad simone makes things and i like a1923 a lot but i think his footwear pricing is getting absurd. Due to the inconsistency of his style from season to season i find it hard to pay 2k for his boots. Its both exciting and annoying that every year he doesnt have 1 classic laceup and 1 classic zip boot (although i think thats changing). This is where i like CCP more due to consistency. Alas, i also like seeing the craziness of a1923 from season to season.

    Anyways i am not comparing the two just talking about the two designers in parallel.

    BTW i own both ccp and a1923, construction is superb and both pairs are unique.

      and it's always damned perfect laceup and perfect zip boot, imo


      honestly, I still prefer Simone's work more than anything else. I mean more than cdiem, av, av_field, ccp, (old) guidi and whatever. And I like his modus operandi "take the thing and make it better". don't want to start any comparisions all over again.
      I mean, I own 7 pairs of a1923 from various seasons and I want more and more.

        7 pairs of a1923, post some pics man.

        i was actually alluding to the fact that for a while he did not have 1 classic laceup and 1 classic zip boot last season has been a bit diff.

          Saw this 'tailored' jacket at Hostem. Besides the fact that the cut was completely wack, I found disturbing how a coloured trim was attached on all fabric edges to give the effect of selvedge fabric. This contrived detail demonstrates to me exactly what this label is about.

              Perhaps it just didn't fit you?

              I would be curious to see the jacket though, I've never seen a version with selvedge on all fabric edges, usually its limited to a few edges such as pocket flaps, collar edge etc. and from what I recall, its been proper selvedge

                Wait so it it real Self-Edge or just a trim?

                  its gotta be this one

                  and if you look at this photo it does look like a little strip of selvedge edge sewn on for effect.

                  i like the fit though. a little odd but not accidentally so...

                    Oh, I was thinking he meant outside the jacket...

                    I don't remember how the collar is constructed, it could be attached, or the collar piece turned over.

                    I personally like the fitment or cut of the jackets, they are slim and tall so they can be quite unforgiving but they look fantastic when worn right.

                      it looks like part of the collar to me.. the outer part of the collar does not tuck into it and expose it instead.

                          to me this is simply a situation of disliking a label so you look for things to criticize rather than things to appreciate.

                          i dont know anything about the fit if the jacket, but to me i see nothing wrong with using the selvedge to finish certain parts of the jacket


                          for example the armhole is bound with the selvedge strips..............to call it contrived is simply a matter of opinion.............and we could say that about some aspects of the work of every designer.........

                            It's not "effect of selvage fabric". It is selvage fabric.

                                I own it as does eckblk.. the detail definitely isn't sewn on. I'm not sure what techniques might be used to fake selvedge... so can't guarantee it is real, but definitely doesn't seem sewn on.

                                There's the selvedge detail on both leg seams on the pants too which I've never seen on pants before... which seems like it might be impossible if it were real selvedge based on my rudimentary knowledge of pattern-making
