Yup. It's a sick bag. The leather is so smooth it's amazing. I believe they're $2K. I have they're thin belt but the one you just posted is insane. Very impressed with how he created the belt loop just by splitting the ends and stapling them together. Wish I had insight like that.
As the designer responsible for Carpe Diem's leatherwear, Maurizio
Amadei is no stranger to turning animal skins into clothing and
accessories rife with clever construction techniques. This familiarity
is evident in his a/w '06-'07 collection for his own label, M.A+, in a
large messenger bag fashioned from one piece of leather that has no
seams, and whose sides have inventive fan-like folds secured only by
metal pins. For s/s '07, Amadei confidently explores beyond bags and
belts, sets aside his choice material of leather, and offers instead a
small collection of menswear that still manages to showcase his
penchant for innovation. Despite its cozy cotton jersey fabric, a
WWI-aviator-inspired, form-fitting hooded zip-up looks weighty, and a
blue Japanese cotton jacket appears to be textured satin, its pockets
seemingly sliced from the fabric by a dull knife — even Amadei's
unmentionables, silk cotton long johns and boxer shorts, warrant some
serious attention for their luxe utilitarianism.
s/s 07
love the top belt! looking forward to his clothing also. but silk cotton long johns and boxer shorts?
the jacket pictured above has a great cut and style! the arms seem to have a twist seam if i am correct. definately need to get some of his leather pieces. thanx for the pics xcoldricex.
cotton canvas may be your best bet. you could probably get some mud and bake in the creases so its stiff. but as i remember it, the pleats weren't stiff- but that was awhile ago and i wasn't really paying much attention.
