Is there a difference between the STAG Rick Geo Funnel leather jacket from the newer 09/10 funnel in terms of funnel neck height / thickness?

[t3hg0suazn]

09 is higher, esp in the back
08 has wool lining on inside

Cool thanks. I'll contact The Office then.

Fuck no. Bunch of leeches. Don't do it.

Has anyone handled the bamboo RO tops from this season? Suspiciously (comparatively) inexpensive.

I ended up buying a pair from a user in classifieds so I didn't go that route but I'm curious why you say this for future reference?

I haven't but I read somewhere that a single layer t-shirt shredded after the first wash. Proceed with caution.

[Shucks]

if i'm not mistaken they are bamboo viscose, which means that they are very brittle when wet. any wringing, pulling etc when the item is wet may break the fibers...

i have avoided them so far.

Colour 19

Remember that Poell colours can be quite inconsistent. My colour 19 tornados are definetely brown

Is there any difference between drkshdw and mainline bombers besides the materials used? Cuts are the same right? Thanks.

did Rick ever do the Bauhaus without the sleeve snaps or goofy cape w/ back ribbing?

[t3hg0suazn]

ss08 had wool cuffs, cape but no ribbing
fw09 had zipper sleeves no snaps, cape with wool ribbing
ss10 same as fw09 but worse leather
after that snaps ruined everything

[dji]

cheers t3hg0suazn, I remember it was something along those lines..

[vegettoo]

i didnt like the snaps at first but im getting used to it and start to like it know
