Thougts on Rick Owens Exploder jacket? the short one. Could it be used for winter?

[Faust]

Most definitely. Make sure it's the padded one. I had no idea but apparently there is a non-padded version, at least for women.

[neostrifeX]

I've had the DRKSHDW and '07 Moleskin one, and I agree with Faust. However depending on how cold of a winter we're talking here, you may have to layer underneath.

How do you like it?

[Faust]

I love it - just got one for my girlfriend. However, I suggest you try one one beforehand, as the fit is not a straight on typical thing.

Anyone know where I could find images/video of Ruffo Research's AW 1999 collection? Or even editorials that feature the clothes.

Firstview?

[fredokin]

Only goes back to AW 2000:/

How soft are Daniel Andresen scarves, say compared to Faliero Sarti?

[Faust]

Not as soft. Daniel's work is of a different tactile quality. It's very comfy but it's not featherweight like FS.

Has anyone got any experience with CCP fingercuff gloves?

Just bought a pair that is supposedly brand new, but the elastic fingercuffs on a couple of the digits are just a little stretched out, and some of the brown tape is flaking a bit.
Normal for it to come from the factory like this?

Also can they be expected to stretch quite a lot because they are fucking tight on my palm (ROMPIBB)

The stretching of the elastic and flaking tape sounds a bit suspect. It is tough to say without photos though.

In regards to the leather stretching, yes, they will mold to your hand after some wear. Mine definitely took time to break in. They were extremely tight, then one day like magic, they softened up a bit and fit like a.....ummm.....glove.

Julius Tokyo flagship under construction?

To any Tokyo residents, my GF in your fine city at the moment and tried to go to the Julius Flagship store at the address listed on their website (2F I.T.O-Daikanyama 2-17-8 Ebisu-Nishi Shibuya Tokyo 150-0021 Japa) and found the building to be under major construction with no apparent redirection to a temporary location. I looked around the net a little and on the Julius site and can find no info that some sort of major renovations are under way...can anyone confirm or deny this or give me information on where the flagship might be temporarily moved to? Much appreciation from T.O.

Mine had all the finger elastics super tight to begin with so sounds you've been sold something that maybe is in not so new condition.

I've been using mine for 1.5 seasons and a magical loosening of leather has yet to happen, extremely tight fitting still. Some of the elastics are loose as a catholic priests foreskin tho.

[unwashed]

Have mine for couple years but still not broken in enough to 'fit like a glove'. That is what is restraining me from wearing them more often. But some of the elastic wires snapped withing the first couple of wears. Nothing to be worried about for me at least
