Re: Your recent purchases



Just picked this up. It's from the FW 06 season I think. I like the detachable hood, and the collar is cool. Tag says it's cotton & metal?

Thanks, everyone.

Nice jacket, soultek. Get your lintbrush out - it'll come handy with this one.

Ann often mixes metals in to have a slightly wrinkled look to the garment. Usually it works with wool, never seen this fabric combo.

I got the Ann Demeulemeester shearling today. I'm happy [<:o)] Just need to shorten the sleeves. I wouldn't mind taken the sleeves in a bit either (to make them narrower), but that's probably too big of a job. The shearling is really light and warm - like a high quality shearling should be. Man, makes me remember how untouchable in quality Ann's stuff was compared to this season's offerings... Oh, well, times change.

Re: Your recent purchases



That is absolutely amazing!!! May I ask you in what price categorie this coat belongs and at which store did you actually buy it? Next Thursday I will go to Paris for one day and it would be wonderful to know where to purchase that coat. If anybody else knows where to buy Junya for men in Paris: it would be highly appreciated if you could let me know.

Yeah, I'm already fighting off the lint. Lately I've become a very big fan of Ann's clothing (thanks a lot Faust).

BTW, If anyone is interested, I got this from H. Lorenzo's outlet store in Los Angeles,and they also had the white version in a largefor 50% off(I think the white one was shown on the runway).

That's real nice faust, I'm always fond of ndc because of their style/quality to price ratio. I love my wingtips.

Thank you. Thinking to go back for the wingtips, actually...

Re: Your recent purchases



They feel so substantial too, the price point is perfect as you get so much for what you pay. A really good value in today's overpriced market.

After looking for deck shoes for quite some time, I purchased a pair of apcs only to be disappointed by the cheap feel. I finally found some sand suede ndc lows (the patina on the suede was incredible) and the quality blew everything out of the water. You should get the wingtips, I'm waiting to see what else they have in store for this season.

edit* - holy shit they finally updated the website, they're bringin the fire

I'll have to check out that duffle in person as well.

Yeah, I'm looking to see if their bags are as effortless as their shoes. I can't get any more of their shoes though - I think 6 pairs might be my limit for now. Nice boots, though, faust. I considered a similar pair when Esthete was still around. Is the toe the newer more rounded shape, or one of the longer ones?

[Faust]

Re: Your recent purchases

it's the longer one, bakla.
