Yes or No?

[docus]

^^^ Agreed.

Just eat a few of these and it'll be perfect.

I don't think it looks good. Leather jackets are not clothes to be worn oversized IMO.

[quiet noise]

MoFiya: i appreciate your honest input, but do you think it would be worth it to leave it to a tailor? with the advanced julius seamwork, it might be hard to alter it without screwing up the seams/proportions.

[MoFiya]

I am no expert in having things tailored, especially not leather jackets. I wouldn't risk it if I were you, but that shouldn't mean too much...

[messenoire]

unless you have a really excellent tailor i wouldnt trust your leather leather to anyone. how does it look when open?

[lost53]

It really is a question of taste, Mofia says no and Docus&CJ yes...
Personally I am somewhere in the middle... depends a bit on the rest of your wardrobe, and what look you are going for.

What really counts is how you feel in it, obvious, I know but if you feel comfortable then rock it.
I have both a second skin style leather and also something a little bigger so I can squeeze a jumper under in the winter.

I really would not get this piece tailored. The arm volume would need to be adjusted as would the shoulders and then the body. That is allot to go wrong... And I think you would be hard pushed to find someone whom understands the proportions you desire and can execute the work properly.

Additionally Docus made a good point in regards to layering, you do have plenty of room for a thick jumper for the winter months.. then cop a smaller one for the summer!!

[quiet noise]

damnit, i think it might be too big after all... i bought it for spring/summer use so i dont really plan to wear a lot of layering underneath it. fuck my life, the leather is so good.

[lost53]

Yep, with this image you know it!!

Don't butcher it....

[quiet noise]

lost53: sorry, i dont know how to interpret your post.

Don't butcher it....

does this mean that you dont think that i should take it to a tailor? sorry, im not too familiar with american/english "slang"

Dane: Yup, size 2.

[Dane]

Is it a size 2?

[lost53]

You know it.. as in yes it is too big! This image really shows the jacket better. The arm volume is far too big, even allowing for layering this isn't working.. sorry! And for the butchering.. sorry a crude expression = tailoring!

The Damir jacket is a lovely piece.

Ann s/s11 sandals..yes or no?

LN-CC fit pics: http://www.ln-cc.com/ann-demeulemees.../ann010046blk/

and from a distance the straps definitely resemble tevas

it never fails to surprise me how Ann makes some of the best shoes and some of the butt-ugliest shoes

[quiet noise]

Lost: thanks for clarification, for some reason i read a tone of sarcasm in your post (probably the double exclamation point) and i thought "dont butcher it" could mean something like "dont butcher this thread with inane posts"

either way, i agree with you and i wont take this to a tailor unless someone of my friends knows a crazy-good one. i might try the wash technique...

[neonrider]

don't tailor, don't wash (unlikely to change the size enough), i'd just sell and pick up another one. there are tons of nice julius leathers floating around these days.

[messenoire]

these seem like a good alternative to shorts for summer months but i am just unsure about the lack of back pannel and my "man legs" showing through the elastic/leather straps.
