as long as you use wide shouldered hangers it shouldn't be an issue.

[Diss]

i hang my julius 07FW leather on 2 wooden hangers (back to back) due to the weight of it. It hasnt stretched yet and i hope it wont.

[dji]

my old julius rider weighed about 1.5kg (3.3 lb), I hung it on the wide shouldered hanger it came with and it didn't stretch at all.

Quiet noise,

Quality leather will stretch from the weight vs. gravity. I would never use a hanger for a leather that I love. I wouldn't fold it either...lay it over the back of something like a chair or something similar. I've had mine thrown over a hamper for a while. Soft leather will stretch out pretty easily over time and you want it to stretch to your body...not to the shape of a hanger. Let the weight of it break itself in when you're not wearing it. Some will tell you to throw it on the floor...I think that's a bit extreme, especially for expensive, well tailored jackets.
Just don't use a hanger.

move_ment,
Unfortunately, that 5% poly will stretch but not shrink. The cotton will shrink... If it's Elastane, the overall fit will shrink when washed and dried.
I made the mistake similar to yours...bought some jeans that were almost 2 inches too big in the waist with stretch...I was hell bent on keeping them so I washed them in hot water and dried them in a dryer (with frequent checks...I just wanted some heat on them) and now they're my favorite jeans.
I have to wash/dry them after wearing them about 3 times because they do stretch and lose their shape but they stretch to my body, which is nice...they achieve a decent look even with some extra room to them.

thanks for the info beardown. The jeans are only probably half a size too big (or maybe perfect, but i'm just used to my other pairs being realllly tight).

Anyway I will wear for a while and see how they go...

I have the exact same boots. And it's all good, these are authentic.

edit: no problem, good luck!

The tape seams on on my CCP AW0708 coat is breaking, does anyone know what to do?

[bc3]

Where is it tearing at?

i havent had any tape problems yet, but i always planned that i would just reinforce the area by hand and let the tape do its thing

is this the one from yahoojp? looked great [wink]

anyone know how rick boots are fitting this season?

[sargon97]

I've seen some of the thinner leather RO jackets have (at least minimal) *hanger nipples* in stores by the end of season. Def something to watch for. But if you buy snug, should go away once it starts molding to your body...

[Chant]

Could somebody provide me the RO references of the Dom coat ?
Thanks in advance.

I just bought a ma+ bag (the collapsible camel leather one) and was just wondering whether you guys recommend using a leather condition or something to prevent the leather from cracking or is it best to just leave it and not put anything on?

How do Nicolas & Mark tanks vary sizingwise?
I wanna buy them for layering, only found Sz.48 ones - I usually wear size small in compared Rick stuff.
Will they be too big to wear underneath?

personally, I wouldn't use anything. any sort of creams etc tend to fuck with the natural appearance of the leather. does it really feel like it would crack..?

how does the rick side zips fit? im a 42.5 do you think a pair of 42s will work out fine?
