You just killed my day...

That figure was for the trousers, not the jeans, I believe. Keep your suicide smileys on standby.

New scar-stitch that everyone's already seen...

[crz]

noob question, but what exactly is 'scar-stitch' ? i'm looking at the jacket above and cant seem to locate/identify what a scar-stitch would look like

also, i know it is carol's signature, but what is the appeal of the exposed threads in the seams, dubbed 'overlock'? is it a strong seam? does anyone have a close up pic of the inside of a garment at the seam, i'd love to see it

[philip nod]

what do you call that a "half a raglan" shoulder
seeing the back gives me new appreciation

New spiral jeans...

Dibs for the 48s

I think what is meant is that it's the same jacket as the last season's scar stitched one but with the "invisible" stitching .. or am I wrong?

the leather jackets don't seem as foul as i thought they would. the additional shots help to make it not look so terrible. however, i still think the overlock jackets are superior.

on top of that, the prices are still the same, if not a bit cheaper. take out the vat, it's around $4k.

regarding the scar stitch, it's basically the tiny overlocked stitching all across the jacket's seams. the invisiseam is the fish wire used to hold up the seams of the piece together. the new leather jackets still use last year's scar stitch detail. the fit of the jacket looks a little different. probably fits a bit tighter than last year's, which seemed to be a size too big, and has the raglan back shoulder detail and the scalloped hem at the back.

its a completely different cut than last seasons. i'll leave it to someone better qualified to explain the difference btw overlock, scar stitched, and invisiseam
nice joey^

I agree on the overlock.
The best ever.

The new shoulder and back cut looks fantastic.
Looks like the back bottom end is curved, like a dress shirt.
I think Lwebs prices are the lowest in Europe (and probably the world).
Would expect prices at the other stores is at least €100-200 more/piece.

i think the new leather jacket cut will help the joints function better. when those things actually work it's like nothing else: you are essentially reanimating the dead animal that is your garment.

but i would assume you need the perfect proportions for that to work, no?

yes reason number one I will never order this online without having tried it on.

Looks like that goes for the shoulders as well.
