Small questions thread

I think bunching would look fine if they were super slim. It's the more straight cut, so it doesn't look as good when bunched.

Why are so many shoes made with wooden soles and nails, that scratch against the pavement? It's so offensive to me, such an impractical thing.

yes, rubber and neoprene make so much more sense.


btw it's leather not wood

[beardown]

As asho mentioned, you're probably talking about leather soles, possibly with a wooden heel?
It's not impractical at all...quite the contrary. Shoes made out of solid materials last a lot longer and are easier to maintain and repair.
A great pair of shoes can last your whole life if you take care of those uppers and keep them resoled when it comes time.

Rubber disintegrates and dry rots over time so for a nice pair, you'd want to use as little as possible in the construction.

Get a nice Vibram sole put on the bottom of your shoes and a nice insole and that should solve any problems.
Either that or grab a pair of Hush Puppies with a soft crepe sole.

Feels like there is no real department for this question, but i'll go for it.

I'm looking to make a necklace. I've been looking a while for some kind of miniature cow skull in some fake skeleton bone version. Does anyone know where i can find something similar?

Hot Topic?

I'm planning to buy a jacket/blazer from upcoming fall collection Comme des Garcons.
Does anyone have an idea of what the price might be, on the Japanese market?

I'm thinking about a jacket like this.



Would appreciate any help.

Does anybody know how easy/difficult it is to dye poplin material?

Probably in the ¥80k-90kplus range...judging from past collections...

[mononon]

might be a dumb question,
but does CDG have a lower retail price in Japan than in the USA like Julius ?
All i know is that in Los Angeles, all the CDG blazers I've seen are well over 1,000 USD

[MikeN]

Yes (5char)

[Acid, Bitter and Sad]

Absolutely...being a Japanese label, CDG prices in Japan will be cheaper than anywhere else overseas.

guys, i remembered that there's a 20% for first timer customers for Revolve & Forward sites, how do i entitled myself to that %?

thanks!

[xeraphim]

^ it's 30% i believe, u have to e-mail or use the customer service hotline to contact them regarding that. not sure if it's valid for use with Forward though.

It is! Just give them a call or email after you've placed and paid your order. They'll refund the discount amount back to your CC.
