Small questions thread

[edhohoho]

hey guys, quick question:

do RO Leather Jackets and BBS Pants usually come with a dust bag? cause i just received both items from an online shop, both delivered w/o dustbag. just wondering.

The RO leather jacket I purchased from RO in NYC came with a small cloth dust bag (at the time I was looking for and specifically asked for a more standard garment bag like that for a suit), but I guess that was all they had. Looks like it was more suitable for storing shoes or a leather bag.

Question about leather pants, would they stretch out after breaking them in? Found something I want but realistically it's a size too small for me. Obviously each leather is different but I meant generally.

[Patroklus]

Leather stretches out, sure, but if it doesn't fit new then I can't endorse your purchase.

I dunno, most Rick leather pants end up stretching a full size at least, I know 2 people here have had to size back down or sell them after they stretched too far. Also the Damir leather pants I just got were a liiiitle too large when I got them, and doing a hand-wash hang-dry shrunk them down enough to then let me re-stretch the thighs and waist to fit while the knees/calves stayed a little tighter. Perfect solution if you ask me.

They will probably stretch, but probably not the whole size and the result might be unflattering. In my experience, RO blistered drop crotch ones don't stretch noticeably.

need help with crotch blowout here :(,
I recently kop a drop crotch jeans, however, due to the style cut, the thigh part is quite narrow even for drop crotch, resulting a high stressed point on the crotch when I am walking/ or going up stairs.
then just now I realize the crotch part has shown a sign of crotch blow out (pilling and small holes)
is there anything I can do in order to reinforce the crotch/ fixing this?

my personal thought is going to tailor and ask for crotch reinforcement from the inside however since this is the first time i got a crotch blowout sign, i'm not sure, will this work?

ps: i really love this jeans, so dont ask me to buy a new one.

Yes a tailor should be able to fix this. I have this problem with all my jeans and I recently got back a pair of julius cords that I couldn't even see from the outside that the pants had been fixed.

So just explain for your tailor how you want it made and ask how he/she will do it.

[Czx]

Exactly, any competent tailor will fix it for you. Been trough that a few times, it's just a simple fix and reinforcement from the inside like you said :)

^ I've had really good experience with denim therapy. A couple years ago I realized just about every pair of Dior jeans I own had started to form a hole in just about the same place on the underside of the crotch and I'm quite happy with the way they fixed them up.

Maybe it's your crotch that needs fixing!

your nuts are clearly too large
i went to denim doctors in LA, attached to a vintage store called Hollywood Trading Company
they even covered their own repair for free when the crotch tore a little more

haha I was referring to casem's crotch!

[diorowen]

the only thing that bothers me is the jeans material.
its the drop crotch from CCP with 100% cotton KIT-R.
I am not 100% sure, but this one just feel more dense and stiff compare to normal denim.
will this be a problem in fixing?

[lowrey]

because of the thickness? should be fine, if one tailor says its too thick, try another one.
