Small questions thread

[cowsareforeating]

parlay i think is cruvoir's in-house line... -- idk im sure you could direct questions directly to melvin via sz if you have concerns about accuracy of pricing?


also.. was the ninja hoodie by boris, normal zip or asym zip, every produced in a fabric that isn't.. that fine weave that invites animal hair to get trapped forever and ever? preferably something like a heavy jersey of some sorts

try the older seasons. ss & fw12 are similar to knits. My fw11 cold dyed in brushed cotton doesn't have that issue of catching on that much fur too. hope that helps

I know there's been some but little discussion about cruvoir here. well, i'm still wondering...has anyone here bought anything from this guy Cody? My friend emailed him to pre-order Song of the mute 13f/w throne collar blazer and this guy Cody was asking 1750usd for it. With no disrespect toward song of the mute but i never knew that their pricing has raised that high - altho their 13f/w collection does indeed seem pretty dope. WTF is parlay btw?

I'm sure a bunch of people have bought from him, give the amount of spam he has shoved here and on other forums. Some have been succesful, others less fortunate when dealing with him. There have been several problems reported on superfuture for example, and has been banned about 15 times there. He might have good intentions but he comes off as a total idiot and runs his business poorly.

are you planning on selling something in the classifieds soon?

[drizzly]

thank you for all the replies folks, i did look at the ZB belt (waiting on zams reply), the others i need to look into later today

Zam's belt had a few problems with the execution that aren't apparent from viewing it- it doesn't sit flat when buttoned. The leather is thick enough that it ends up bulging out by about an inch from the pants, and just ends up being awkward. If that's what you're looking for, go for it, but mine sits in my closet unused.

Cows and lowrey - thanks so much for the info. was tempted to order a Lumen et umbra high neck sweater myself as i'm always a fan of lumen's fabirc. Now i might need to reconsider a bit. Might still cop, will report how it goes here (where should i report? the buyers feedback thread in classifieds?)

this is true. in fact, a few of us brought it up a while back in the designers and their work thread. there was mention of a design improvement for future collections, but not sure if/when that may come. there was also mention of a pm coming to help us sort out the situation, but i have yet to hear from him...

[drizzly]

thats good to know as well, any other suggestions gents?

I buy Tory leather equestrian belts because of how tough and thin/skinny they are.

Bridle leather, and made in Pennsylvania.

Most belts are less than $50

Check em out if you want.
