anybody got in mind how much the ccp bison overlock retails for? 6k'ish?

So...

I bought an ma leather size 1 and it didnt fit. Arms super tight (could barely move them, couldn't zip it up). But chest/waist was alright from alright-to-a little big. So I was wondering if it would be a good choice to buy a size 2 and tailor it, but the tailor might fuck up on raglan. Or i could just get a custom made one.

tldr;
Custom made : Way cheaper + perfect fit = not the same.
Tailored : Expensive + expensive alterations + tailor might fuck up = im screwed.

Find a jacket that fits off the rack.

where are you located?

could give you some contacts here in the US, but I dint know if they ship overseas......

I'm trying to find a place to bulk buy notions like buttons, rivets, and zippers a few gross at a time instead of thousands or merely tens at a time.

can you post a fit pic? i am kind of against altering ma+ items. what type of leather is it? a lot of ma+ leather is incredibly stiff at first. the first time i saw ma+ leather at atelier i was astonished at it's stiffness. it will probably stretch out with wear to fit you like a glove. i'd tough it out! i'd avoid the tailor with pieces that pricey unless you are 100% confident in their skills.

I assume he's talking about Julius MA since it's size 1.

I think just try on some different leathers from Julius to see which one fits better off the rack. Julius leathers can fit fairly different from design to design.

Yea pretty much, Im between sizes at least for the ones I like. Sucks :(

[Patroklus]

being between sizes means you buy the larger one and tailor it down

I wouldn't bother tailoring Julius leathers (or any leather for that matter...unless you got a killer deal)...just wait for the next season and see how the new models fit.

^ depending on how much you're willing to risk it, there's a telling thread about washing leathers in the DIY section of the forum...

[ImaPro]

True. I got one made a couple months ago and its nicer than 99% of the (p)leather jackets out there but its definitely not the same. I guess Ill wait.

...or exercise

I don't see why you wouldn't.

[lowrey]

I don't see a problem either, as long as you have a trustworthy tailor to do it.

[Dane]

There are too many Julius leathers out there to risk a tailor ruining it or making it worse in my opinion...but it's only that, my opinion. I'd personally just wait and get something that fits properly off the rack...unless, like I said, it's a great deal.

Edit: sorry, i meant the sweater, thanks : )

We won't tell you until you talk to OWS.
