Hello SZ members.

I recently bought something from rakuten, I used my tracking number and found the following message:

05/02/2013 Returned to Sender Address Unknown

Does that means that they did not wrote my address correctly and the item was sent back to Japan?

I tried to contact the seller, but so far no answer.

Thanks.

Looking for a hooded RO cardigan, i know there are versions of cotton and merino wool available each season. How does wool differs from cotton on this item? From the pics i've seen it seems like the wool one is always a bit darker, but the materials look pretty much the same. Am i right? Don't know which one to hunt.

p13 - curved leg, slim, denim style pockets, side seams, no drop
p11 - straight leg, slim, chino pockets, front seams, slight drop

p1 and p3 vary by season, so you can't really generalize those styles as they constantly change. they tend to be slim in the lower leg with roomier hip/thigh and some drop.

the only other pant that is consistent in cut/style every season is p14.

Thanks jskidder!!

Thank you, really useful.

INK HK keeps all their previous seasons' pictures up on their website so I find it very useful when trying to find/compared different pieces for the labels they carry.

It exists, it's from AW09 if I remember correctly. As far as I know the only one P13 waxed curved leg with drop crotch.

For reference: the second one in dark grey.

best bet would be to get a p14 in a size up and wear it low on the waist. p14 is curved leg, slim cut with denim style back pocket and chino style front. not really a drop, but it has a higher back rise and more forgiving top block than p13, so when worn looser you get a very similar effect as the p11 provides.

Anyone have advice on stiffening/straightening sagging leather? Because my ramones are really beat up and have sagged down like this in pic



Any chance a cobbler is able to insert something between the leather and give it structure again?

What's a good basic combat boot, bearing in mind that I can't stand Docs' yellow stitching... I mean "basic", not necessarily in terms of cost, but in that I'm looking for a fairly standard, solid design I can beat up a bit, not an RO pocket-laden design-fest.

i've yet to find a combat boot i like the shape of as much as docs. i just buy the made in england ones and black out the yellow stitching and soles with black boot polish. i also cut the pull tag off and i replaced the laces with long leather ones.

there's also solovair, which is the company that made the original docs. they still make all their boots by hand in the northamptonshire factory and they're cheaper than the made in england docs.

i know this doesn't really provide you with an alternative but the yellow stitching isn't much of a problem to fix.
