Small questions thread

[diorowen]

Thanks Jskidder and Amsicora!

@briank,
last time my sneakers does that, I just oiled and polish it a bit, then put lots of newspaper in to shape it and wait till it dried. wont make it as stiff as new, but it helps a bit at least.

are these legit? normally ccp does not have white lining

Any thoughts on how to lose the animal smell from the CCP leathers? My Bison scarstich is a bit overwhelming. Should I take it to a leather/drycleaner?

garment bag should do the trick when hanging

So guys and girls, two questions:

1: where's a good place to get a fabric backpack repaired? As in, what kind of shop? I'm in Melbourne, if people have a more specific recommendation as to one individual shop... (It's an Ann backpack in the "lake" fabric, coated cotton/metal blend, if that helps).

2: 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.

No sure if that last should be in "help finding..." but I thought it was vague enough to put here...

Balmain

All the combat boots of theirs that I've seen have been a bit too... Balmain-y.

I think I may go with Venus in Furs' suggestion, unless there was a specific, basic, Balman pair you had in mind.

I always found their footwear in general to be pretty non descript.



Thats the pair I had in mind when I made the post.

Hi everyone first post, i'll keep it snappy.

So, I bought some of the RO memphis jean from a German site and they have arrived, but genuinely the fitting around the calf and the material is just like leggings,
i've seen a lot of interest on here and i was wondering if i size up from 32 to 34 the calf will be a bit wider and the jeans a bit longer?

I thought the jeans looked better fit on my girlfriend with a bit of space.. and might just return them/sell them on here?

[Crowzer]

I'm not sure but if you size up, the skin fit will still the same. (15cm).

[MoFiya]

Is there anyone here willing to proxy an item from Yahoo Japan for me?
Contacted SutoCorp a few hours ago but they didn't answer yet. Auction ends in 2hrs.

[Crowzer]

Why not try another proxy ? Such as FromJapan ?

[MoFiya]

Thanks, done.

I have a question about the RO Naska boots, I never get a chance to handle it before but I've seen pics where the tongue become wrinkly/flappy so can someone tell me hows the material hold up and is there any different in sizing compare to RO geo ?

[Michael_Robartes]

I'm not sure but if you size up, the skin fit will still the same. (15cm).

IF thats the case i shall return them unless anyone on here messages me before tuesday,
thanks crowzer.
anyone else have a perspective? surely the thigh and calf will be wider on bigger jeans to correlate with the waist?

[Dane]

which model boot?
