    I don't want to create a new thread in women's personal style subforum, please let me ask it here:
    what's your suggestions to pair for a woman wearing black Rick stooges leather besides just a pair of jeans or pillar skirt/dress?

    Thanks!

      Have you had a look on Instagram? I always use that for 'inspiration'.
      Options are quite endless, with trousers, cropped trousers, maybe Rick cropped sweats... etc

        To find anything good by tags #stooges or #rickowens one needs to filter too much garbage, honestly.
        I've checked runways, maybe I shall look for lookbooks then. Thanks!

          Proportions might vary depending on what version it is, but it's a double rider, I think you can pretty much wear with anything without much thought. Skinny, slim, wide, mini, maxi, jumpsuit, whatever, potentially it all works.

            Thanks, yes, we'll see how it goes.

              Hi guys. My friend asks to help him sell this Carol Christian Poell Kangaroo High Neck Gloved Leather Jacket but I have no idea what's the fair price for this one? Great condition, size 50. Any help with the current prices for this type of CCP jacket is highly appreicated.

                Depending on the leather I'd say $1700-$2200, that Color is going to be a tough sell.

                    Thanks for the information! It's kangaroo - is this lower or higher part of the range?

To me they either look like watered down sunglasses, or are indistinguishable from any other black rectangle frames save for their branding.

                      The little edge details, nose bridge and notched temple, really stand out to me on the Kuboraum K3s, while still being subtle enough that they don't scream. I wish they were a little bit thinner, but after a bit of photoshop fitting I think they will work out well. I'll still search for a few more comparison pairs, but my heart is slowly being set.

                      Thanks for your suggestions, cheers.
                      I couldn't agree more, not much personality at all. Rigards frames, which i admittedly don't have experience with, seem very textural and intricate. Nice earthy hues as well. I think they do some sort of rectangular-ish frames.

                        Get the aviator version of the Kuboraums - they are less extreme. They did a special version for our pop-up shop.

                          Sup brahs, quick question about harnden shoes stretching:

                          I'm usually a strict 41 or size 8. I just tried on a pair of slip on suede-y from fw16/17 in size 7L. The length is perfect but owie zowie do they pinch around the middle of the foot.

                          So the question is, will they stretch? Does it depend on the model/leather? I was already wearing very thin socks and wouldn't wear them without socks. It was also quite the struggle with a shoe horn to get them on.

                          This is at persuade in Bilbao (which is a fantastic store) and I'm only here for a few days so it's not like I can return them. Could try l'eclaireur but who knows if they have the model.

                          Should I get them or try to find a regular 8?

                            Technically, any shoe could be stretched by a cobbler. I've had it done on several occasions. But, proceed at your own risk. And what the hell are you doing in Paul Harnden?! Did you trade your bike for a horse and a plow?! :-)

                                The key word here is BLACK, I've sold my donkey version of this jacket for $3.2k, it was a size 46.
