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
By "sewn on" I think people are referring to a thin strip of fabric, with the selvedge edge on it, are used to finish parts like the arm hole inside to complete the visual selvedge effect rather than truly constructing the sleeve/sleeve cap/scye with an edge of selvedge... which is not really possible anyways given the sharp and many curves needed for the sleeve cap construction.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

just ran into these augusta.
set aside the 'derivative' or 'ccp ripoff' aspect of the work
they're like perfection, at least to me
i've always been annoyed by how pointy ccp toebox is, which limits the choice of pairing and is also so robust that it even affects the whole vibe of the look [impo]. But i was pathetically obsessed with the perfect diagonal zip of the boots. And now, here we have available the physical form of the day-dream abstract idea...
the creasing is quite spontaneous, very appealing to me personally.
the round toebox finishes off/off sets the crazyness/sharpness of the boots and add something masculine to them...which impo makes them more versatile
they're Culana Cavallo boots as it says on the description, not sure what leather they're made of. Im determined to get a pair, for sure.
vitello boots, rather less pronounced masculine connotation

also, this niche market is the only one i know of, where a blatant rip off is more expensive than the original, and is sold in the same stores.pix

Btw the leather on the first pic a1923 diagonal zips does not look enticing at all.... I saw them a month ago on the ff site but could not find any other pics elsewhere. the shape is very nice thoughLast edited by boodude; 03-23-2014, 09:39 AM.

well, hopefully im not mistaken, but it seems to me the toebox of that particular seamless one-piece diagonal zip is indeed "round" but not bulky (im referring to the cdiem s52m kinda bulkyness) as augusta. And when worn, the one-piece gives an awkward [to me] silhouette
courtesy of an unknown quantity
well, of course, the toebox of the above picture is apparently pointy, so maybe the one you're referring to has a different construction. Just showing what a ccp one-piece would typicall fit like in my mindLast edited by qazwsx; 03-25-2014, 10:39 AM."Things you own, end up owning you." --- Tyler Durden [FightClub 1999]

Better add Farah as a claimant in the illustrious list of teh copy-wronged, headed by Carol/PH (much as one hesitates to retronymically link those two)....At least this one has seriously lols for anyone who attended english schools in 1981, rather than some Berlin80s/Vienna10s/civil war Imaginary of the spotless mind.

I love the shape of them too, at least when not worn. Would love to see some fit pics though. I wonder if they fit somewhat loose in the upper part as in the CCP fit pic or whether they fit closer to the leg.
