Julius Men's FW10 Paris

[kuugaia]

Looks good, how does it look worn open? As from the picture from the hanger I might even prefer it that way.

Me too. Wow it looked great on Christian and all...but damn it looks good on the hanger unzipped.

In reference to DRRRK: in my oppinion when it comes to red leathers, I would prefer the rider. The styling on this one is very clean which I would not like for a red leather; in black this one is perfect; but as red is an eyecatcher by itself a simple styling somehow breaks the line for me. I don't know if you guys get what I am trying to say... Well, just my oppinion anyways..

Interesting. Most people cite this as the reason for wanting clean styling in otherwise eye-catching garments. You're a case of anti-minimalism (not saying it's a bad thing).

MoFiya based on what you said - ever considered the FW09 jut in blood? :D

[MoFiya]

Nah... I am a minimalist, too.
That's why I actually would never buy a red leather...
But if I would, it should be something to look at not only due to the colour but also due to design. The colour has to some extent a pop-out effect in perception, so there has to be something further to look at, more than just the colour IMO..
You see me?

[kuugaia]

I know what you're saying but I think that goes opposite to the style that I've personally developed. I find myself not liking anything that has too many points in a certain category. In this case if it's a red leather jacket, the color red itself has already ticked the category of standing out. If the design etc. were to also stand out, I'd think that it's 'too much'.
You see me? :P

editted: having said that...I'm one of those people that lack color in their entire wardrobe haha. Only JUST purchased my first ever red jacket in my life 3 weeks ago.

[DRRRK]

MoFiya, I understand what you mean but my opinion is different. I dont like unnecessary buttons or zippers on jackets no matter which color. If I want something more eye-catching I would always do it with a color, not with superfluous details.

[MoFiya]

Yeah, of course and I completely agree with you.
Other than that, in my oppinion the Jut just is in not overstyled at all and gets the balancing act in between being a simple red jacket and over-the-top-styled really well.
But this is FW10 thread - we should be talking about the new rider which I personally would prefer in black colourway due to the bespoke arguments..

edit: I was refering to kuugaia's post.

I was going to disagree, but when I think about it, I have polished boots with wings, a coat with big lapels and piping, wrinkled leather pants, and the list goes on. I guess I do know what you're saying.

For this specific piece though, I think the asymmetrical zipper, the stance when open, and the stitching differentiate it enough in design from a plain leather jacket that had been dyed red.

I just brought up the red jut as it is what I thought was a really good balance between eye-catching color and detail. Strangely enough, despite the popularity of the fw09 red rider the red jut hardly gets mentioned on SZ.

the pictures christian posted of the fw10 rider makes it more and more appealing, it doesn't seem like it is about to burst like the fw09 rider and looks like it would be great worn open as well. I'm more curious about the drape neck and cowl neck leathers however, those don't come in blood.

[jcotteri]

I'd happily go for the simplified toned down jut...

I'd be more interested if only the shoulders were raglan.

[delirium]

the blood rider is great. the simplistic design + bold color is nice.
it's up there on the julius leathers i would cop along with the cloud jutneck

[magic]

not sure if its posted..

Video.

I figure this is the best place to ask... does anyone know where I can find Julius F/W 05 photos?

[Oh weh mir]

Thieves used to be available on either totem or julius-garden by replacing the name of the collection in the url. Last time I checked though you could only go back as far as underworld though.

Pre-sales is up at Idheart. Way too many pics to post them all so here's some of the main pieces. Also the red pieces are not Blood but actually Bordeaux. For the bigger guys, it looks like they're testing out pre-order interest up to size 4.
