They look great with black laces btw, works well with the black trimming on the tongues.

These are my same sentiments. The laces and trim have a similar width, so it appears very consistent; seamless, even.

Are these soles whiter than the creme-isn ones on black Geos?

i dont think so, normaly its the same colour.
i prefer the black/ white contrast....so this is the reason why im using the black laces.

Thanks for the info on The Last Conspiracy! Will definitely be bumping them up on my footwear radar. Can't ignore high quality at a great price.

[gawkrodger]

The Last Conspiracy is a highly underrated brand. Quality of construction, materials and treatments are top notch. They make everything in one factory in Portugal, a country unfairly knocked, as they have as old and good artisans as anywhere else.

yeh, I'm backing them as well. Bought a pair of zak boots last year (their guidi backzips), and whilst unfortunately they didn't fit, were of decent quality. Shame they don't seem to stock their full range on their website and have near non-existent distribution in the UK

Figured I should put my money where my mouth is for once

Thanks to PoubelleMaBelle~

[snafu]

nice what size ;)

[nahneun]

i went tts with a 39. i'm kind of concerned because my backzips are 40 and i know the sidezips have a notoriously low instep too. i have a s21m and a s21w, and the s21w fits considerably better, so i took the risk with the 39.

That would be so bad-ass in black.

... that could be the SZ motto. :D

like my turbo?

[docus]

nahneun - a superb purchase . That's a particularly gorgeous example of what may well be the best footwear CDiem ever made.

Came from Paris relatively unscathed The strong $ helps.

Lumen et Umbra wool/alpaca unbalanced cardigan





The entire cardigan pattern is skewed slightly, really cool.

m.a.+ spiral cotton jersey pants. Going to wear these cropped, already chopped them off

[Icarium]

Ah nice pickup on the spiral pants I remember you saying you wanted them.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion I had earlier in the Small Questions thread about black skinny jeans, did a bit of searching and was able to pick up a pair of SLP 15.5 cms for roughly 50% off retail.

great LeU cardigan Faust! I recently bought a sweater made from the same fabric (and same color) and was really blown away by how awesome it is (there's a black-red version which is pretty nice too). Seems this is the signature thing from Lumen et Umbra. it's my first piece from them and I'm totally in love with it. + it's super warm!!!

Only concern is losing the creasing and 3D texture with time bc of the weight of the sweater...

I also recently bought a sweater in the same color + materials but with wears the sleeve hem stretched alot, anyone have experience on this?

Yes, it's really warm! And, yes, it's become sort of a signature. I think they should also make the circle cardigan for men. I'll see how it ages.
