lesson learned last night: 6 gin and tonics on a day or two's empty stomach is a fucking horrible and humiliating idea for a holiday party. shoulda stuck with wine

I hate to sound parental, but don't drink so much dude. You still got a lot of road to walk.

If it was an open bar, it wouldn't have hurt to eat some wedges or something :( I do grab a drink or two on an empty stomach before dinner but quickly eat something after. So what gin?

actually been laying low lately hahah, thanks though man, appreciate it! i'm really excited for the new year, january has so much to look forward to.

the recent resurgence of helmut lang denim interest has me wanting to break out my old dark blue jeans with the black inside out pockets attached...every time winter rolls around it feels great to retreat to a mixture of grungy dowdiness and inspiration from The Wild One.

found another damn hole in the hooked luc sweater, this time it's "on the sweater" and not in the seam as last time. I have barley used it and it's already falling apart, not what I had in mind for a $1130 (glad I at least got it on sale for $680)

[lowrey]

what is the material like? is it possible that its rubbing somewhere, like a bag etc?

[bestial]

It's dual layered wool (guess it's exactly like the beanie you sold), the layer thats broken now feels rather rigid, and not so easy breakable, I have used it under a rick moto collar and around my apartment. havent had anything rubbing at it directly, a very light canvas bag over the leather jacket. but the hole is in chest hight, rather close to the side seam.



I'm afraid to wear it now, don't want the hole to get bigger. but I talked to my tailor who confirmed what I already knew that it could be hard to fix, other then to try and sew together the hole again... but that won't look too nice, and probably won't hold up so great either.

"pilling" is a part of the hooked/pressed effect.

learn to embrace decay

pretend it's an o-project piece

[bestial]

it's already decayed... on the other reversed side. :)

I don't really mind decay, after some year(s) getting to know the garment etc. but not after the fifth wear.

[lowrey]

shouldn't be a big deal to fix, it'll leave a small scar but since its black it shouldn't be very noticeable.

I got a pretty big hole on the sleeve of a reversible cotton knit, I was carrying my friends couch in a crammed hallway, rubbed my arm on the concrete wall and my watch, which was underneath the sleeve, made a hole the size of a thumb on it. I just sewed it up pretty roughly, left a scar but I don't even notice it anymore.

[bestial]

will probably have to do it, just find it utterly irritating when it's so new and I haven't done anything besides putting it on and off a couple of times. :/

[lowrey]

yea thats pretty annoying. I'd guess that it has something to do with the way its made/finished, maybe the hole is already there but when it stretches with wear it becomes noticeable.

[bestial]

I don't think the hole is there from the beginning, not in this form anyway. But, the construction along the seam is a bit odd, it looks thinner and more stretch then the rest of the garment.

well, I'm probably a little bit whiny.

[calv]

Not at all. It's crap when you like the it and only have given it a few wears and there's a small hole in there that wasn't before.

But what lowrey said, fix it with a bit of black thread if you think itll become bigger and you'll probably forget about it after a few wears..

Otherwise just give it a try as it is, as i find it fitting within luc's aesthetic and i personally dont think itll become bigger that fast.

Be proud. Lumberjacks are the epitome of masculinity. Fuuma will agree. Look at this guy:

He looks like he'd enjoy Remingtons. Would cop.

I can handle 3 at the most. 2 if I'm at some NYC gay bar. They know how to light my ass up.
