Small questions thread

[lowrey]

Go for a medium. Measuring a Rick Owens tank is pretty much useless. They're meant to fit tight. The only reason why I would size up is if you want a bit of extra length.

Regarding tanks...

If you want it to stay in place you might want to consider a small. I have two from this season in small and they are a tiny little bit to big for me and I'm a 46. I also feel that they are super long now, so no need for you to size up for extra length.

agreed, with tanks the sizing is kind of universal (I'm a slim 50 and have both S and L tanks). though if you want it to stay in place better and hug your hips a bit more, go with a small, if you want it to drape a bit more, size up.

as for l/s ribbed tops, true to size will probably be very fitted unless the sizing changed significantly this season. if you want a more t-shirt like fit, size up at least one, maybe two sizes. I'm usually an M in RO tops and an XL ribbed l/s was fitted but not skin tight on me.

Thanks guys, I'll probably go with a L in the longsleeve and a M in the tank.

I never tried the ribbed l/s before but wanted to get the one from oki-ni. I was going to go up to a large but now I might go even to xl. What size kunk wears? He has to be bigger than me.

Magician, you can also see the model's measurements on oki-ni.

Does the ribbed l/s is only for dry clean? I was thinking to cop one sometime ago but if its true than i have to give up

Is papiercompany on ebay a reliable seller?

Thanks AKA

For the sizing, should i go for a M or L? I am a size 3 for V-A. I was thinking of taking L but i afraid that it will be too long for me..

does anyone have any pictures of the back of the ccp eyeball necklace? or, failing that, if anyone has handled one can you please describe the hardware on the back of the eye through which the chain is threaded and how it's connected to the eye itself? I'm trying to DIY something similar, but am having trouble figuring out an elegant solution to the rimless construction.

i've read about the nyc tax in the yoox thread. i visited new york last week and had to pay the tax when i bought an ipod touch and a grandma belt.
can someone give me more information?

[Casius]

maldoror- It's a silver circular piece as the backing of the eye and then a silver ring attached that the chain loops through. So the eye basically sits on top of a silver piece in the same diameter.

[maldoror]

thanks cas! so, to clarify, is the eye set into the silver piece in the manner of a monocle, or is the silver attached to the back of the eye with the metal bonded to the glass (assumedly with adhesive)?

[Casius]

Yes to the second thing you said. It's bonded to the back instead of being sunk in. You'll have to post up your DIY version, I'm very intrigued to see it!

thanks again cas, and special thanks to you drexl. didn't realize that anyone on the forum owned this piece. I'll be sure to post up my bootleg after it's all said and done. (don't hold your breath.)
