Re: Your recent purchases

oo, good find. how's the neck warmer? do you just put it on over your head, or do you fasten it around the neck?

In keeping with the thread, I received my LMaltieri deep purple/black work coat in the mail today. Mixed feelings about it. Most annoying aspect is the fact that the original owner CUT THE BUTTON LOOPS OFF OF THE COAT!

What the fuck.

Very very annoying. Now I gotta fix it.

The coat itself is beautiful though so once it's able to close, it'll be one nice piece for cold weather if it ever decides to show up haha.

Is it the same as mine?

Re: Your recent purchases



Mmm, it's a bit different (and longer). I'll get photos up after I fix the button loops issue. Still miffed about that one.

Laika! Linea?! Where'd you score it?

You put it over your head and it bunches up around the neck. It's MUCH larger than you'd expect and when worn almost looks like you wrapped a scarf around your neck. it's really grown on me in the last day or so. I'll snap photos with the carpe coat once I get it fixed.

I respect you, Linea or not! :-)

Albert, I was looking at that fucking thing - but it was absolutely useless on me unless I chose to wrap it twice around my neck. They had one in a brown colorway, it was really gorgeous knit - I've never seen a knit pattern like it.

Re: Your recent purchases



oooo they had a brown one too? Must have sold :(

At first I thought it was going to be WAY too big but I put it on with a coat and it works perfectly really. The large circumference allows it to cover that upper chest portion that even a scarf doesn't quite cover with some coats and the fact that the neck warmer bunches up allows it to cover most of the neck one way or the other.

The funniest thing was that the black one apparently used to be shoved in the womens dept because some stocker thought it was a tube top. I remarked to one of the stockers that it would have been one ho'ed out tube top and we had a good laugh about it.

As for the $129 carpe pants, the only ones I saw that were that cheap were the ones that were actually pants linings. No way to close the waist. They had a bunch of weird leather pants (still way too much even at the c21 and then 33% off discount) and a jumpsuit which was just plain entertaining. Too bad it wasn't cheaper though because it could easily be converted into a coat. Just need a little bit of thread and a pair of scissors

.... and some balls to snip at some $3000 fabric.

Faust, do you have a link to the Linea piece Laika got? Love to see it.

Re: Your recent purchases

Don't have one, but you might have remembered the leather mens version at Atelier. It has a triangular shaped pseudo-hood.

Re: Your recent purchases

Ohhh, right right. Where did Laika get hers? Yahoo auctions?

these are the pants that jun posted before.

are they pants linings? doesn't appear that you can close the waist on them.

[Chinorlz]

Re: Your recent purchases



Yeah they're pants linings. If you saw them in person you'd see that there are buttonholes along the waistband of these to be buttoned into the outer pants.

But hey, they look good on Jun as-is and if they stay up, then it's all good!

Yes, the dunces at Century21 actually took out the white inside of the pants and prices them as a separate pair (so actually what June got is not lining but the shell of the pants). The same pair still hangs at IF for some ungodly amount of money. The inside pants are much longer than the outside, meant to be severely bunched up.
