wow, forgot about BK. good catch Docus, so far they are closest to what he's wearing, except for the very RO like tongue / label

[jskidder1]

i think they kind of look like some of the old airwalks based on the pattern of the toecap.

Looking at a few CCP pieces, mostly blazers/jackets, offered in different fabrics. Can anyone who has handled the 100% wool (WIM) and the nylon/cotton blend (not sure on fabric code) comment on the benefits and drawbacks of each?

Enigma

Nylon + Coton = NYCOT.

[Dane]

I'm confused.

[AppendixG]

Nylon + Coton = NYCOT.

Any reason to prefer one over the other? I'm just curious cause there's a huge price difference between the same piece in the two different fabrics.

Obviously I'd assume that the wool would be warmer. I guess my question is twofold... In black, which of the two has a deeper color? Does one fabric have a more rigid/structured look than the other?

wim- for vegetarian
nycot- for non-vegetarian

[Castor]

NYCOT is very structured and dry, very light weight with an almost sheer quality--almost like a faille. Great for warm weather or for keeping on when inside without getting too hot.

Obviously Givenchy goes there. McQueen seems to be defining the menswear through symmetrical digital prints for the past several seasons. Juun J. also does some crazy ass prints.

Does anyone here own a size 43, 43.5 or 44 Rick Owens Geobasket new-era?

If so, could you please measure the insole length if you have a flexible measure available.

Would mean a lot to me as no one in my city of 4.2 million carries Geobaskets

I just bought a polyester comme des garçons line blazer from a seller in Korea. Price wasn't cheap and I know the shirt line is a diffusion line but are items from this line actually made in china (tag says that and I'm just wondering if this is common)

[Dane]

Shirt line is made in France as far as I know. Things may have changed recently.

[mononon]

Hmm. Does anyone know if any of the unlined poly blazers are made in china lately? Thanks
