[Servo2000]

yeah, i'd definitely bid on it myself but i just picked up a grail. a little low on money lol

also, was servo2000 looking for these dior drop crotch pants? if so, i'll pm him auction info. if not, i'll list it here

Yeah man, definitely drop me a PM. I'm low on funds right now but I might be interested so feel free just to put the link up for everyone else since I don't think I can 'dibs' on it right now

I definitely need a shearling coat. But, Shearling is insanely warm, pure cold-weather overcoat material, so I'd only really go for a traditional, timeless one. And, those are either really poorly made or really expensive.

Apart from them being so warm (which in my case would be a good thing), I always have an issue with there being too many fluffy bits appended and hanging out.

for me its a problem with the puffy look, at least with leather which I think looks better more, well, shrinkwrapped. and anything with the sheep-style lining looks a bit n(n) brokeback to me

And the worst part of shearlings is the damn STATIC electricity! Whats up with that..Something to do with the friction of the wool pile?

I agree, shearling isn't the best on tight fitting riders jacket. I have an AW06 Cloak shearling that does the trick, toggles and hood, fitted but not shrink wrapped. Only problem is, it's quite fancy whereas my riders jackets can be worn with anything.

The measurements on that grey one look like it fits much larger, like 46-48ish which would be perfect for me, does anyone happen to have that particular version?

I think it's because the entirety of SZ got burned by the Great Rick Shearling Yoox Disappointment Of 2007 (or was it '06?)

Tough to make such a thick material look shrink wrapped.

Yea, that was a fucking disaster.

Albert and Theetruscan - shearling is exactly the type of garment where quality matters most. If you saw some Jil Sander shearlings from late 90s, early 00s, you'd be amazed how lightweight and thin they are. I guess it's just become too expensive to make something like that now, so you basically get shit.

Man, this is fucking insane...

You know where a good home on the East coast awaiting for this thing, right?!

Jumpoff, I removed, because andew has been looking for this forever. I hope you don't mind.

[jumpoff]

No prob. Would've been all over that one myself had it been a couple of sizes smaller.
