curious to know as well, in fact i was about to ask the same question. there should be quite a few people on here owning one, did anyone ever try a hand wash?

i was counting on you lowrey, to be honest...

re: luc tussah

i've hand-washed mine at least a couple of times, no issues so far... though in-between i lost a bit of weight; otherwise i imagine it would stretch out again.

& there shouldn't be any stiffness as long as you thoroughly wash out the detergent

Quick question,

I can probably devise a solution, but what do you guys do for replacement laces for the CCP Drips?
Mine has broken in two places and I think I need to replace them
of course I'm sure i can find some cord that looks similar, tea stain it and replace them but i would love to know if replacement laces can be had

the leather lining in my boots is rippin at the back of the heel
the cobbler be all like, "mebe i culd stitch it back up"
but i'm thinking like, if he just stitches it, that's going to be mad uncomfy and prob just rip again right?
seems like it should be glued or sealed or taped or something
has anyone had this repair done b4?

I just received a pair of Rick Owens spiral zip boots from The Corner and unfortunately they're pretty lose around my calves, which bothers me quite a lot. Does anyone know if the regular side zip boots are tighter? It looks a bit like it from the pictures, but maybe it's just an illusion. I assumed the two models were identical except for the zips, but now I'm not so sure. I hadn't seen the spiral zips worn before buying, unfortunately...

Bonus question: Does anyone know if The Corner does a full refund on sales item? I'm assuming they do, as they don't write anything about it on their website, but I just wanna be sure. Of course I could ask, but they're not always very quick at replying.

I have the side zips from this season and the calves fit me very well, tight at first and then they stretched a little from wear. I didn't try the spirals tho. The Corner accepts returns on all sale merchandise as far as I know for full refund. Good luck.

there is a jacket im interested in from Forme D'expression...can anyone help with sizing? does the sizing run relatively true to size or is sizing up necessary?

thanks for the help guys

[lowrey]

quite true to size I think. Some things are more oversized than others though.

was thinking about buying a few of the 100% silk sheer-looking rick tees from yoox.

i love the unstable cotton fabric, really disliked the silk/viscose blend, but have not handled the 100% silk before. are these thinner and more sheer than the unstable cotton?

if anyones got input on these lemme know.

Any suggestions for a Julius-like wool/wool blend/leather headband for the cold?

Missed out on the Julius one on the classifieds a little while back and have been kicking myself since. Haven't able to find any others similar online or elsewhere that aren't cotton blends.

thanks Lowrey
