Small questions thread

from experience, while donkey isn't all that stiff it still took a few wears to break in the leather; baby calf required almost zero.

thanks, so other than the breaking in process, they're pretty much similar? heard from marco that donkey is shinier though.

i have 4 ro leathers and 2 ccp and while i would say the leather on the ccp is better, the comfort and fit of the ro is better for me. all personal preference I guess. I dunno if it's right or wrong but I tend to always wear one designer on any given day, so I have a lot of Rick so it would stand to reason I wear the ro leathers most.

small question here :)
in regards of quality, which one is better, rick owens leather jacket or Julius_7 leather jacket?
since I personally never handle one of the rick owens's..
opinion anyone?
special question for kunk75 :p, what makes you like rick owens leather jacket so much?( its ok if you dont want to answer, or maybe its private answer) haha.
thanks guys!

^thanks! generally speaking, which leather is more dull / less shiny?

Generally speaking i would say calf is more dull.

thanks for the answer kunk!..:)..I guess the fitting matter the most rather than leather quality at least for me.

I've had both the donkey and baby calf backzips.
The calf is indeed much softer than the donkey.
Donkey has more of a shine (a minus in my books), and stretches out quite abit.
Calf shines a little less, and doesn't stretch out as much.
I will say though that i was most impressed by the kangaroo leather. It's thin and soft, but feels strong, and what i loved was it's subtle texture and matt surface.

is guidi 47=a us 13?

ABS: thanks. But I'm afraid it's even harder to find a pair in kangaroo in my size. I checked with pnp but the kangaroo that they have doesn't come in a 42. In fact. They don't have any in 42. :(

Lift has a 988 kangaroo in 43. No harm checking if they've got a 42.

could someone who speaks japanese please tell me the measurements on this?
google translate says length 120, width (is that pits or shoulders?) 62, sleeves 52, but 62cm width seems quite unlikely for a size 48, even if it was meant to fit like this http://www.style.com/slideshows/mens...WAY/00470m.jpg

length 120cm, pit to pit 62cm, sleeve inseam (pit to cuff) 52cm

I have a job interview monday and I am trying to sharpen up the look a bit. I got a perfecto leather jacket that i usually wear - and well - i got other jackets too - that are more for the occasion but they really aren't me. i haven't worn a tie in years - and i don't really like them -
1) are ties really all the bad?
2) can i pair a tie with a leather perfecto - i did - black jeans, boots, black veronique underneath - and it looks alright actually - but still - i think its more the tie thing - ?
3) what to do when all you wear are black jeans, motorcycle boots and black tees when trying to clean up your look for an interview?
btw this place isn't really dress super sharp but a lot of the bigger dudes dress nice and i won't to make a good impression.
