Small questions thread

I need some guidance. I'm looking at purchasing a CCP Scarstitch leather and am trying to decide on Cordovan or Bison. I like the look of the recent Bison leather that I've been seeing but I've never had the opportunity to handle it.

3 questions:

1. In the Julius 277FWM1 FW09 boots.......can a 42 fit into a size 2? It seems a 42 is right in between a size 1 and size 2, would like some input from SZ though. What's a fair price on these in good (no major wear, worn probably 10-20x) condition?

2. Would a 41-42" chest be better suited in size large or xl with most BBS tops?

3. Why do US retailers mark Julius up insanely high compared to the yen price on their tags?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there is a cordovan version, I believe you are referring to CORS-PTC, which is the horse leather batch that came after HOIL-PTC.

Edit- unless you are using cordovan/horse interchangeably . I'm referring to cordovan as a specific part of a horse.

anyone noticed if the older season luc tussah silk cardigan weaving tension were the same as the newer ones? i am waiting to see heavier like the one piced but it seem like the pass few seasons weaving are still light and airy.

i tried this shirt on at the RO nyc store and it seemed that one armhole is bigger than the other and the shoulder seams are a bit dropped and just felt like i was wearing the shirt backwards. has anyone had this shirt and not felt like adjusting it the entire time they were wearing it & are the weird seams the same in the short sleeve version? it's so tempting!

also if it's not requesting too much can someone post a fit pic of the back of the julius 337CUM16 longsleeve?

I have a question in regards to the Rick Owens Leather legging/stretch pants the Panta Pella, does anyone know how many different leathers they made this in? I thought it was only blistered lamb?
Does anyone know what LY at the end of the ru # mean?
Blistered is LB I believe.

is mixmix still open? I finally found their store, nestled amidst travel agencies etc... on the 2nd floor of what appeared to be an office building. There was a black leather chair in the room, but no clothes.

(dont wanna put another post for this but if anybody has the measurements for that jacket in size 46 and / or 44 that would be awesome!)

Isaac Sellam Sizing

I was wondering if anyone with any experience on Isaac Sellam's jackets can tell me how his sizing runs. I'm normally a size 40/50 chest but have read that he sizes quite small. Thanks in advance!

Mixmix is gone. They moved their stock to a store down the street called 411 but their mens stock is just some J.Lindeberg atheltic pieces - looks like "great" stuff for a golf course and little else. Aloha Rag is the only option on the island.

Attachment sizing varies quite a bit. I'm usually 48 / slim 50, and in Attachment I've been everything between 2, 3 & 4.

But isn't that size chart good enough?

Quick question about shrinking leather. I'm sure as most of you know RO leathers have really long sleeves, which is starting to get somewhat annoying for me. So I wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions on shrinking just the cuff of the arms so that the opening is smaller? Like maybe soaking just the arms in water or something? For reference, I'm thinking of doing it with an RO silky lamb jacket.

[lowrey]

is it a ribbed cuff or not? either way, I think tailoring it would be a safer and more lasting option.
