Has anyone handled Rick Owens FW13 "vintage" leather (not certain of the product code at the moment), and can you comment on the quality of this leather? In the photographs it appears to be between a smooth leather and blistered leather.

It's almost like a buffed pebbled leather(?) I thought it felt very nice.

Perhaps simple differences in word selection, but in the close up photographs I saw it didn't look anything like a pebbled leather. It looked more like a very lightly blistered leather. Thank you for the feedback!

Could some explain to me the pros and cons of the hammered vs blistered lamb leather that Rick Owens uses in his leather jackets? I know what jacket model I want, however I don't know which of those variations to choose.

[Shucks]

blistered looks fucked up and is thinner, hammered looks old school and is thicker.

^ This pretty much sums it up. Blister is softer and will fold or crease more easily. Hammered on the other hand is more stiff and will hold its shape better

Has anyone seen all black geobaskets in a 45? The all black ones seem like the rarest/least popular, and big sizes are also pretty hard to find.

Is it possible to make a non-black rick owens bomber look like a regular black by dying it? If so, how should I do it? It would be for personal use, and I'd want it to stay looking like an original black as long as possible.

Has anyone handled Rick's "new blister" leather from this season? Any thoughts/opinions on it? The one I'm looking at is described as black but looks to have a bluish/greyish tone.

what colour is it?

chances are it contains various different materials and regular "home dye" will only work with natural fibres, which means that any elastic bits, threads etc might stay the original colour.

[max_yeah_true]

Army green. Any special dyes I can use?

[delicious_not]

anyone dealt with Plinth's japanese brushed cotton with a code JBR? stiff or soft? and i bet it's pretty hard to keep this fabric clean from the dust?

How much can a tailor decrease the waist of a pair of suit pants? My body has fucked up dimensions, need a ~52 jacket to fit me but my waist is 41 cm ish and 52 pants are something like 45-46cm typically from what I gather. Is this doable?

Does anyone happen to know how the sizing of Masnada footwear (and clothing) is? True to size or should I be sizing down a la CCP/A1923 etc?

Thanks in advance!
