Is it safe to buy from the ebay shop spenceclothing-italy?
I´m looking at some Rick basics and they seem to have good prices.

Yes they are legit. I have bought multiple times from them. I've always got hit by customs fee when buying from them though, so beware if that's a problem.

Thanks! Fees are not a problem as I live in Germany.

What is the general opinion on The Last Conspiracy boots? I've seen a few posts mentioning good build quality, but that's it. I'm interested in Surla boots in particular.

Well, build quality is probably the most important factor as it's shoes we are talking about. I own 2 pairs of boots myself from The Last Conspiracy and I'm very happy with both of them. They work mostly with horse leather and mine is now breaking in really nicely. The only thing that bothers me a little are the shiny toe boxes on pretty much all models. Luckily, this is only a polishing detail and can either be easily removed or just leave it and it will wear off quickly.

Can anyone comment on the quality of the standard DRKSHDW sweat pants this season? Do the knees start to sag after a short time or anything I should be aware of?

Is knee sagging on sweat pants a real issue or just a myth? Has anyone here actually had knees in their pants that sagged after some wear?

Does anyone have an opinion on guidi 995 vs a1923 lace up boot?

I think it's only temporary, they can sag a little with wear but after a wash should be back to normal.

I have that problem on some of my cheapers sweats. Don't have more expensive ones to compare to though, so I was curious.

Will Guidi donkey soften up with wear? Man, they are stiff suckers.

no. but your feet will break off. which is kind of the same since either way the pain will be over.



j/k. i don't know if those have had any treatment or perhaps lack of treatment but i have a pair of donkey guidi boots that are super soft...

[rider]

I would say lack of...Great news, thanks.

[bukka]

^same here cjbreed. Good friend of mine has a pair of guidi boots in donkey and they are way softer than mine in calf. Surprising

Maybe it will help someone who wondered the same thing...

No stockist ordered size 4 for the wool version but it can be ordered from IS directly.

Price is a bit higher than JP retail ' if you only order one piece' and with tva/shipping it's basically the same as EU retail price. Not as bad as i thought it would be.

Anyone here has experience with the IS hoodie coat?

How light/thick is the jersey cotton version from SS14?

Also, does the cotton version wear the same as the wool blend version size wise? 'ie, if i need size 4 for the FW version, do i need a size 4 for SS as well?'

Thanks

What do you think of Julius jeans, compared to drkshdw jeans especially abt the quality?

Miles ahead, imo. Although drkshdw has some good treatments, they are mostly sub-par quality-wise in my experience, whereas Julius jeans (esp. knit denim) are fantastic.
