LF is gradient lamb, if that helps...

for reference here's a WIP list:


LB: blistered lamb
LB: unwashed calf (not confirmed)
LBO: box/-ed calf
LC: washed lamb (not confirmed)
LF: fading/-ed (gradient) lamb
LG: full grain lamb (not confirmed?)
LG: washed lamb (not confirmed)
LK: kangaroo
LKG: kangaroo (washed / full grain ?)
LM: metallic calf
LO: oiled calf
LP: hammered lamb
LS: silky lamb
LSH: shearling lamb



LR: 'regular' lamb?
LNB: some sort of blistered (combined with fabric)?

LZ: ?
LV: vegetable dyed lamb ?
LGAO - 'giove lamb' / oiled calf ?
COM: from archives it looks like a two-tone blistered treatmet (combined with fabric) ?

I bet it's synthetic, to shiny in the unnatural light.
And he definitively use synthetics in drkshdw bottoms.

Anyone know what is LFE leather?

COM means "combo", it's the 50% leather 50% pu 50% cotton or whatever jacket made of panels of different fabrics :P

I dyed a drkshdw top (one of these http://cdnc.lystit.com/photos/2011/0...arge_flex.jpeg) from ivory to black just in the washing machine with bog standard dye and didn't have any problems. Something doesn't sit right with me about the tees though... maybe because I had a bad experience dying a n(n) tee, ended up with contrast stitching as you say.
