very random question:

does anyone happen to know what the retail price for the Dior Homme FW03 Napoleon jacket was?

[quiet noise]

My rick side zips arrived today, should i bother to treat them with mink oil or can i expect them to be impregnated and protected already?

[ironman]

/\ What do they go for these days?

[ironman]

gold on black 1: 450,000 yen (~$5000 USD)

gold on black 2: 874,000 yen (~$9800 USD??)

black on black: 520,000 yen (~$5800 USD)

God, I could've bought a bunch of long ones for $1k a piece back in the day. Would've made myself a nice chunk of change.

when did barneys start carrying augusta boots?

Does anyone know which season this jacket is from, and how much it retailed?
Also, and maybe this depends on season, but what would a M fit like? The pit2pit measurement is 25, which seems way too large for an M, especially since the length is only 26... is it just low cut sleeves or does it fit like an extra extra big box?

And, lastly, is it a good buy for $1200? Gracias,

Most of anns garments fits 1 or 2 sizes larger than the tagged size. XXS=44 XS=46 S=48 and so on.
Personally i dont like that piece at all, but i despise cuffs (i can live with sleeve cuffs but on waist and neck? no, do not want) and "hidden button" closure in general.

Thanks for the sizing info, I had an Ann blazer in S which fit like a 50 so that makes sense.

I dislike cuffs in general too, but I'm totally digging the varsity jacket/toj look these days. Agree about the concealed buttons though, blech!

yeah, ann runs huge! i am a normal 46 and sometimes her xxs is still huge on me! i don't like the jacket, but the price seems halfway decent.

I'd say get a ro leather if you plan to shell out $1200. size M in that piece is like a 48~50. It has the cotton version as well. ann's leather quality is not that good anyways..

I'm not sure if this is the right section or not, but I sat in what smells like rotten fish oil, and behind the left leg of my jeans smells like death. I tried soaking it in baking soda and water for about 4 hours and all it really did was fade them (black jeans). I then washed it in the washing machine with cold water and more baking soda, same result. Any suggestions?

Are customer service people from high-end / designer stores usually borderline competent, rude & condescending?
