What if the people that work in the good factories all wear clothes made by people in the bad factories?

ha. funny you should say this. can't tell you how many "fashion" people I've met / worked with who work for large fashion houses and are still all decked out in fucking zara

shucks, fmc, k3mist, are all on point.

The best thing that ACNE has done (and will ever do) is ACNE PAPER.

it's not reasonable to expect the same dedication in every aspect of ones life,

yes it is. to the fullest

ythelastman- I love the stooges. have it in hammered lamb. I like my rick leather / jackets to not have the ribbed cuffs. pilling really isn't my type of patina

[YTheLastMan]

Thanks for the input boys!

I prefer the unbuttoned look of the scuba and how it looks different than the stooges which resembles every other 'biker' jacket.

The ribbed cuffs are the only thing holding me back...but at $800 I think I may as well just eat it

[yay]

you own NOTHING made by people under bad working conditions?

anyone ever been asked to fill out a footwear customs invoice by DHL?

YES. So annoying.
I don't remember if it was footwear specific but in Israel you need to pay the VAT if you order something over 75 pounds or so. HDL Just paid to release it from customs and i had to pay the delivery guy. But they gave me all of the receipts.

well, that is what happens and it perpetuates the evil cycle of production. chances are it won't go away, in fact, i'm doubtful it will even have major changes made to it, but the little bits do count.

on another, smaller topic, i just kind of impulse-bought a iolom ring, as i'm in need of new jewelry. how do iolom rings stack up against werkstatt, ch, and the like?

Iolom rings are great,and he is a nice guy worthy of support.

they are more refine and a little different aesthetically than WM. bu would til be suitable to the same customer

I have/ had four of them. Two of them broke but that is more of my fault than the quality of the rings as I doubt most customers would be hammering and using all different kind of chemicals with thier jewelery the way I do. i had them repaired by a friend and they have been great since then.

you always come through

my first purchase from him, i believe it's a ring he did for devoa? not positive but it was listed as that and i'd heard he did work from them and nude:mm in the past, so i'll stick with that.

i do not intend on that, so i think i'll be good. cheers for the info; always a little apprehensive buying from new brands, but taking said plunge more often of late.

Someone more knowledgeable may chime in, but I believe most/all of the brass pieces used by Devoa (e.g. Samurai Belt) are done by Iolom.

Yes he does work for Devoa,

he is not just a Jewelery designer but a metal specialist

cheers for the info all.

expectations are suitably high.

rinse while drying. depending on how set it in it you can use water + rubbing to help with uneven parts.

not sure if its the right thread, but what do u guys think the best length of a necklace? currently deciding between 20 or 24 inches which is 50 or 60 cm?

[Nickefuge]

Grab a rope and ut it to different lengths. Hang a key or something else from it and see what you like best.

That or honestly I just leave them spread out in the tub with the shower running for an hour or two, periodically wring and wash again. Has worked totally fine on double-layer tees of his in the past.

Go for the scuba! Imo the stooges looks more like a standard MC jacket.
