Rick Showtek Shearling Size L

Picked this up from the bay, it's more a blue/black in person against the regular brown Lamb that goes with the lining colour.

Those Julius are sick

Been looking for this particular colour for a while

edit: I bought the 3s and am reselling the 4s, they were too big. The 4s fit a 45-46 if anyone is interested.

Shucks that sounds like its from 98/99 than 08/09

If its on the grail bucket list then get on one mate....
Bring back the original meaning of smiley faces....although the shearling wont work in Ibiza

I think there are also countless things that affect your cooking more than the type of cook top you have, as long as its a good one.

No arguments there.

1. fresh ingredients
2. old family recipes
3. keep it simple
4. add love. Lots & lots of it. Because that's what food is. At least in my home. :)

DRKSHDW Memphis Jeans, my most recent purchase. I've been wearing them so often. I was weary of the $950 price tag, but they fit so well and are so comfortable. I was surprised at the fact that they are basically leggings though.

My new Rigards 052 with full Sanjuro treatment. They are really gorgeous, the materials, the hand-notched treatment, the packaging.

So this needs some sort of backstory;

I was on the Sruli Recht site looking for retailers in Tokyo when I found a store that is a certified retailer of SR. I did some reasearch and it turns out they are a Leather Tailor Laboratory,


No No Yes Leather Tailor Laboratory

I made reservations a month ago and after heading over there, talking to the Tailors I got an order in for a bespoke leather blazer, we talked over some design specs and then we finally got to something phenomenal.

some details:

Originally Two button but today I told them to add an extra one to the lapel.

Leather was sourced for Julius_7 from a collaboration very special black organic material/color dyed leather

twist seam arms with extra long length.

after talking to them for about an hour we started to discuss some MTM gloves, and after getting some measurements and design descriptions it's on the way, It's a pair of off white, lined leather gloves.


Some other cool things,
they asked me for what kind of music I like so they can work on the garments while listening to the music, and I pointed out to him some of my favorite japanese bands, a little Sigur Ros for channeling Sruli and some death grips to add a touch of Agression.

All in all, it was a pretty sweet time and asked me to come by any time. Right now I have a photographer friend who is trying to break into the market so I brought him along so he can photograph some of the leather processes and get some nice shots of the atelier they have going on.


This was a picture from the last fitting taken by the atelier.

The leather blazer looks really awesome

The backstory and approach that store has makes it one of the best purchases I've seen people post up on here in months!

Love that they asked you about what music you listen to so they can channel that (and thus your mindset) into the design. Really beautiful.

[Shucks]

no, no, yes! make fucking awesome leather goods. i've been meaning to post in the designers and their work thread for a while, but never got around to it. maybe soon.

[kunk75]

hard to imagine anything cheesier than a leather blazer

[lowrey]

really? I think it looks great, and I've seen some great examples of it done right.

thanks for the story TD, really cool
