Does Blackbird email you when Sales occur or do you just check their blog?

[gnow]

Judging from the left sleeve, it looks like ma+,

or you can just ask the wearer

Possibly m.a+... judging by the horizontal seam and possibly a small + on the left sleeve?

worried that these:


are too small for the thumbs, what do you think...

Where are you getting these from? I've been trying to find them for my thumb in L, but Parable in Sydney is the only place I can find with them for sale, and they don't have them in L

How's the quality of CdG BLACK compared to CdG Homme Plus?

What color is a "Darkness" leather from Rick Owens ? does it even exist ? Can't seem to find any info on it.

Has anyone seen / handled this Rick parka from fall 09? Seems like an "update" to the hooded exploder jacket that I'll never find in my size. Curious to know if the material is actually shiny or it's just a slight sheen, and if it's more insulated from the one in aw07. Thanks

is like moleskin iirc, been looking for it myself

I have the longer coat version of this and the shell is 100% silk. It is waterproof, has a semi-coarse texture and a slight sheen that makes it really tough to photograph (i had thought of selling it last year) but is really nice in real life and gives depth to the fabric. Also, it is fully padded - you'll never need to wear an ugly puffer jacket ever again.

I usually think MA+ is overrated, but I have to admit that this jacket is more than tempting. Why do these "I don't need anything anymore"-times always last so short?

hahah missed the little cross... whoops!!!!
kind of want that jacket now..

parable had them last time i checked but i guess it sold? werkstatt retails from their own site as well i believe.


snafu isn't really around much from what i see so i figured i'd just ask you knowledgable folks!

@drrrk i know right? i keep on convincing myself to flesh out my basics wardrobe first but noooo stupid designer outerwear..

I need help learning to eBay properly. How do I search for Julius without having to wade through all the fucking monkey clothes?

Is there any way to just get The Julius in the results?

[Raw]

What I do is type julius -erving -paul and go under the men's clothing category. Works pretty well.

[munch]

is it completely impossible to find a decent quality kinda slim fitting clean cut leather for $500~? I don't want any zippers or buttons on it really. pockets are OK I guess but not needed. http://www.blackbirdballard.com/Juli...ack_18702.html
this one should be $1000 less right.
