Are women's drkshdw jeans cut any different than men's? I know there's the twisty seam ones that wraps around the leg bootcut ones, but I'm referring to the ones which look like berlins/detroits.

yes they are. the waist is more tapered. this was also last season. i dont like how the women's fit...

Quick question: does anyone know about fabric which contains a percentage of paper? (specifically Jil Sander) Is it as weak, as prone to soiling and as impossible to clean as it sounds?

I suppose it also depends on the color, % of paper. I don't think I've actually heard of paper mixed in, but I have seen items made of Tyvek, and I have a Volga Volga coat, which is coated in origami paper, but I don't think it's mixed int with another fabric. Do you have an example?

As a matter of fact I do.

I like the cut and the color, and the price was good with 15% off, but I am worried that the 21% paper content will be too delicate, prone to discoloration, or just plain nasty. I've been kicking myself ever since I didn't buy the same jacket in wool during the 2007 summer sale.

I actually already bought the jacket before asking the question, so I guess I'll find out soon enough. I've always been pleased with Jil Sander items.

It's my first winter in nyc and I have no idea how salt affects leather. Is there anything I should be aware of?

I've only had problem with my footwear being affected, so this is what I do, and it's mostly precaution really.. So basicly what I do is I take extra care of them during winter. Use whatever protection and what else you usually use and just make sure to wipe them off with a damp rag when you've been out wading through the salt paved streets of New York and you should be fine. Or your shoes, jackets, shirts, leggings? Outfits? There's so much leather on here one never knows who wears what in what way!

according to the posts in this thread they tend to fit 2 sizes larger, but someone who owns some would have to confirm that: http://stylezeitgeist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5267

Hey Sam,

Yeah I thought they were bigger, but two sizes is a little too big, especially when I'm already sizing up +1 in the first place. Ah well. Cheers!

Guys how am I suppose to make payment for lazzariweb? I'm really confused as to how the ordering process works for them.

Edit: Thanks Casius!!!

[Casius]

Email them and you'll get what the price will be with shipping/customs added in and they'll give you a paypal address to pay to. (either that, or they'll send a payment request, I can't remember which one)
Hope this helps. I've ordered from them a few times and each time went without a hitch.
