Small questions thread

[Bring The Noise]

I've saved up for a FW07 Julius moto 5zip. I tend to not look good in thick/puffy tops. Should I go for a SS09 moto instead? The leather looks thinner from fit pictures I've seen, and I've read that the SS09 lamb leather is thin. I've also read that spring/summer leather is thinner, but is there that big of a difference between ss09 moto and FW07 moto? I like the fw07 moto design better, but if its leather is too thick I don't think it would look good on me. I'd really appreciate any advice.

I owned a aw08 leather and right now got a ss11 leather. The thickness of the leather is a negligible difference, but the aw leathers are heavier. Id go with the aw unless you live in a hotter environment. The tailoring is extremely sharp you wont see much of a difference between them

Thanks so much Bringthenoise! I'll definitely go for the f/w jacket!

To the previous question, I've only used SuToCorp, and I agree that it is awesome. They are very fast.

BBS Oiled Lambskin Jacket AW2011 - for those of you who have been wearing yours for a while, has the jacket stretched out much? Do you feel you should have sized down one to get the fit you wanted?

Augusta very rarely ever go on sale

I know I know...but still, there are few stores who do it, so was just wondering if Suus was one of them

Only 2 places I've seen Augusta in the sale are barneys and Lazzari. Lazzari still has 2 pairs in the sale but in large sizes (sz11). Suus has auggies from 2008 which are still at full price.

Regarding the Rick Owens laceless side zip boots with crepe soles: Are the men's version identical to the women's version? And does a size 40 fit the same on both?

Thanks! :-)
