Boris Bidjan Saberi Men's FW10 Paris

[endersgame]

that's strange the face thing was not shipped in all sizes. it's the best part of the coat. it's just a strip of the same material sewn on the inside collar.

i agree the runway pics don't look so hot, but if you are tall, this looks fantastic..

i dunno, i usually wear 50 and i always wear M in boris.

[semper]

I think M=48, as it fits my 48 shoulders exactly.

if anyone is looking for a great winter coat, this one here is fantastic and reasonably priced. the mouth/face guard worn fully upright is very sinister looking. it can also be pulled in different angles-sort of adds like an ornamental element near the face.. you don't need a scarf with this coat as the collar is so close to your face, it's like wearing a bacalava.

the cooked wool is very warm, the inside feels like 1/2" thick neoprene and the hand pockets are just right..

M = 50

Does this coat come in any other fabrics or only the cooked wool?

[endersgame]

i believe it is only in cooked wool..

yes, there seems to be another version, dunno what material exactly though and no description in the place i found it.... maybe some kind of waxed cotton???



fixed: in flickr, right click and choose Original, right click on image and grab url.

The waxed cotton version is better IMO.

i liked owm's comment on this great discussion. to me, rick fuses elements of particularly american countercultures (rock, bling, the geometry of power). bbs perhaps fuses elements of emerging global countercultures (4gw, uncivilization, anti-development). julius is somewhere in between this spectrum of two different notions of what subversion means.

perhaps their very different backgrounds and locations have played a role.

just my (perhaps nonsensical) 2c.

I'm inclined to agree with this. There's almost a primitiveness to BBS, but not in a bad way. Rick definitely has those elements of counterculture.

Julius, however, I believe has its own thing going for it. Don't think its between those two at all.

Can anyone confirm if there were two different types of cooked wool wraps in terms of the materials used? I tried one on and it was a lot less stiff than I expected it to be (I think it was the material pictured close up on this thread) and had a strap.

I'd always thought these pieces were quite thick and rigid so that they didn't drape so much when worn opened.

why can't he use the word "boiled"?

[BSR]

why can't he use the word "boiled"?

because he fries wool

Makes me wonder what the weirdest method of treating clothes is that people are aware of.

Hussein's burying clothes and then digging them up springs to mind, any others?

[lowrey]

pretty sure Altieri also buried his jawns.

Poell must hold some sort of a trophy in this field though.

[Heirloom]

yeah, how the FUCK does he do it???

[Mikevigar]

I guess there must be a lot of trial and error, that picture looks like its the same effect as if you were to burn skin. I'm presuming that was the intention, though I don't know loads about his work (once I have my reading chair by the window and a free afternoon I'll read the 8000 posts on his thread!)
