Can someone confirm that the shape of cotton vs leather RO Ramones are shaped differently? The cotton ones seem to be narrower (or less of an arch) where the top of the foot is.

Yes, that's the case. the main difference is that mainline (leather) have 7 eyelets, and drkshdw (cotton) have 8 eyelets, therefore they are taller and narrower.

I stumbled upon their site just a few weeks ago. it was being redesigned/relaunched or something, but I have no idea if it had been like that for long as now the domain is expired.

Last time I checked was a few months ago, and it was down then as well.

hmm, I could've sworn it was just 3-4 weeks ago, but maybe I remember wrong.. they haven't updated their social media in several months either so I guess they might be done.

[Faust]

Coincidentally, I heard a few days ago they are done. I hope I'm not spreading incorrect rumors here.

anyone know what does LFT and LBO stands for in rick leathers?

[savant]

Sorry not sure what LFT is but I've seen LBO on SZ before. I believe its boxed/boxer calf. Quite thick and substanstial iirc

For your product code needs, some guys over at /fa/ put this together.

According to this, LBO is indeed boxed calf.

What do YOU do if you want multiple items equally but can only buy 1 item? Like how would you choose which item to buy.

Well are they all the same price? Are any of them on sale? I'd probably go for the best current value or rarest item first in case it sells out or before a certain opportunity to get a good value is lost

Whichever is more practical in the context of my wardrobe and would get more wear

I have been to Tokyo a few days ago and I could see the new Geobascket (the one with strap) but why there are not online such as LVR or RO official website ?

[beyondthemeans]

^ Antonioli has (or had) them up. You mean with the weird strap on the zipper puller?

Quality BBS Bambas

How's the quality on Boris' Bambas from FW15/16?

I've heard that there may be issues with the sole.

Thanks

I'm not very familiar with Yohji sizing, can anyone advise is a 2 or 3 closer to a 48? I've read conflicting opinions... I believe when I've tried Yohji before a size 2 fit me better but I think 3 is the sample size?

There's a shirt I'm thinking about ordering online and can't try on first, I want it to fit relaxed but not huge.

[doldrums]

I'm a 48. Every time I've taken a 2 because I didn't want to swim, I e ended up regretting it and wishing I had the 3. Especially the case with pants. (Probably not very helpful)
