Small questions thread

I know it is not a brand anyone would ever consider in these forums, but Neil Barrett leather, anyone handled?

Also, has there even been Neil Barrett (leathers) fakes floating around by any chance? Or is it a brand that just doesn't have the market for people to care enough for to have fakes made?

Thanks!!!

Havent handled neil's stuff.
but there are fakes of neil barrett, I stumbled upon quite much of it. Leather is no exception.

quick question for those that own a DRKSHDW bomber hooded parka - synthetic fill - how warm is this jacket going to be? will it hold up to winter months on the East Coast?

What is the consensus on DIRK BIKKEMBERGS?

Particularly the footwear. I remember reading someone really loved the older collection.

edit:
Similarly, I only found one thread for PAUL VAN HAAGEN. Not sure if that is enough of an indicator but how is the leather and construction like in the footwear? Where is it made?

not without layering a sweater or so underneath, imho. though i don't know ur local weather conditions nor on how resilient u are to cold.

Thx for your response Shucks.

That's what I was thinking. I figured it wouldn't be as warm as a down parka, but I was hoping it would hold up with some layering to about 14 to 20 degrees fahrenheit.

I mean all the one I can find now is not as skinny as this one, the legs are all too baggy.

just get the legs altered and taken in . i have to do that with alot of rick shorts / pants cos theyre often too wide for me . i cant stand how certain drop shorts balloon out in the back cos theyre so wide , theres no way i can wear it straight off the rack . its not that difficult for a tailor to do , even pods which take a bit more effort . i use the guys at barneys , i like their work and theyre already familiar with tailoring clothes that mite have an unusual pattern so u dont have to explain things to them

well, i say it will work with a warm-ish sweater (unless u plan on staying out for hours in a very windy area). but u ahould know that the padding is quite thin compared to real winter gear, in all the ones i've come across.

Anyone know what the RO leather code 'LBG' stands for? I came across it on Y!J and the listing stated it was cow leather (no pics of the composition tag, though), but I'd like confirmation of that. Shucks's collection of RO codes didn't have it and I haven't been able to find it elsewhere, either.
