he said "piece" so I assumed it meant a piece of clothing, not a showroom prop...

[bestial]

how bizarre. he's closing in on Hirst?

If that fiberglass coat is waterproof, I quite fancy trying to sail it.

Perhaps jury-rigging a parachute lining as a mainsail........

[kbi]

just gotta dip the person into a big tub of epoxy first

[tryptomine]

maybe anyone have a picture of this coat ???

its a coat or jacket or scarf ???

i was dreaming to have a fiberglass coat ! and i didnt even know that ccp made this !!!

fiberglass coat

I doubt he puts this much time into creating something solely to see if an idiot will buy it. But yeah.. not genuinely created to be worn.

fabric code: MENTHOL

so the man has a sense of humour.

Personally I think he just made it to see if some idiot still would buy it slowly killing the person who wears it. A lining isn't the problem. It's inhalation of the glass dust that will make your lungs bleed.

Wasn't it Oh Weh Mir who bought it? He posted a fit pic toward the end of 2009 if I recall. I showed it to a classmate and she just about had a seizure. He said he's had lots of experience working with fibreglass, so he should be fine. Plus, I have to say, I admire purchasing something entirely unwearable to curate a personal collection. I hope to do that myself one day.

hahaha

2007 overlock, amazing colour to look at tho.

Possible candidate for redyeing? The grey overlock stitching is cool.

So the fiberglass coat: emphasis on masochism or materials?

I see masochism in the cut and proportions sometimes; not always, of course.

The cut of the coat seems proportional/non-distorting. File it under materials.

yea but cut and all aside, fiberglass is potentially dangerous/painful to touch and inhale, which differentiates it from the matter of constriction.

but who knows.. it could be just a material he wanted to use.... or he made the coat for a nemesis he is trying to slowly kill, but it accidentally ended up on the showroom floor and some crazy shopkeeper ordered it

fibreglas coat

i think it is far less harmful or unwearable . . . than it is being positioned here.

Sergio was cautious about it, but emphasized that it is indeed wearable, as long as one was careful not to have it come in contact with bare skin. his concern is, that it would merely irritate the skin. he was not worried of shards coming off of it and impaling the wearer, or even breathing in fibres of it . . .

i might add, the lucky individual who got this highly collectible piece . . . was ecstatic with it.

like I mentioned I haven't even handled the coat, so I'm just speaking of fiberglass in general. the resin and coating used probably make it notably different than what I'm used to.

however, ohwemir hasn't been posting for a while.. hmm.....

fabric code: MENTHOL

can smn explain what is Fabric code - means ?

thanks

[BSR]

it means you should read this whole thread from the beginning

[Farkhanyassin]

And it's a worthwhile read too. It can be done in one night, with music, and presumably some good coffee. I went thru 385 pages in 6 and a bit hours.

By reading the thread in it's entirety, one would get a better sense of XXX's nature as well as an understanding of the process and details undertaken when producing his garments.
