Small questions thread

I'm pretty certain this is a negative, but has Julius ever done any leather jackets in horsehide? I know none of the recent seasons have featured it, but back in the mists of time I might have missed one.

Julius MA SS09 leather jacket was made from horse leather.

Ah, good catch. Didn't think to double-check the MA lineup.

Oak is way overpriced for what you're getting - for quality, it's passable, butt he fabrics used are mediocre. Wait for end of season sales

sales of what?

[Urthwhyte]

^ at the end of each season Oak has huge markdowns on their remaining own brand stock. I picked up a couple of pairs of jeans and a Henley for something like $30 shipped in january.

Anyone can tell me what pants(or are they just really long socks?) are those?

[phiman]

^i'd say these are RO Drop Crotch Shorts paired with black socks

[kuugaia]

^^ My bet is that they're leggings or thermals, give off the same look as long socks while being a lot more useful imo.

what is the most durable leather for footwear? I own horse and donkey boots but not Kangaroo, what is Kangaroo leather like? does it stretch a lot comparing to the other?

[phiman]

^bison leather is quite tough!

Kangaroo stretches the most compared to others, and it's very light weighted and comfortable. I think it's the best choice for summer.
The most durable leather has to be cordovan.

ah- I completely overlook Bison leather!! But as I recalled some member here do mention that it is quite heavy as a footwear- is that true? I own a bison wallet and it is pretty weighty alright. I will try to find a retail to get my feet in an actual one.

Thank you so much for your input, I heard that Kangaroo leather is the strongest of all leather. They are soft but extremely dense, however I am very concern in regard to their shape and the possibility of crazy stretching.

there are different weights of Bison, and its a great leather all round and not at all heavy for footwear


Kangaroo is good and indeed very strong, I dont think it would stretch beyond the normal amount, more like molding well to your feet.

Didn't zamb have a slightly dropped denim last season?

[cowsareforeating]

I believe those were linen, and his "jeans" are actually canvas, which is a nice touch but I'm definitely looking for denim.

Plus, I need something that cups my butt a little more :)
