Devoa~~~ charismatic designer. Checked out the stuff and liked a lot of it. Definitely a good addition.
Also met the co-owners of the Archives - very nice people!

In light of some recent "fun" I've had trying to buy clothing, I'd like to say one more time what a pleasure it always is buying from Arthur and David at The Archive. To save space, I'll just say "you know how sometimes you think 'I wish they did X?' Well, the folks at The Archive do.'
New arrivals: KK Attachment
Asymmerical Zipper Jacket
Military "Hook Clasp" Jacket

The forme d'expression shit is amazing. The pictures do the items less than no justice. Also, the pricing is slightly higher than the website indicates.
The double layer wool turtleneck that I saw has visible seams, but not apparent stiching visible. It's glorious. A guy bought my size as I walked in.
The white button up shirt is perfection. The one in my size was boxed up as I walked in.
I really wonder if there are good pictures of this line somewhere. It needs them.
The Devoa double layer t-shirt is absolutely amazing. Cotton and silk, black and grey, no random details, nothing but right.
The Devoa black zip jacket has some very fun construction going on around the arms and back. I don't know anything about making things, but it's beautiful.
Materials on Devoa stuff were just fantastic. The basic grey shirt looked and felt so nice. Devoa is only available for small and normal sized people.
Shellac leather rider is a heavy, very nice basic leather jacket. I could do without the weird gauze underlayer, but it's not attached in any way.
Samurai jacket fits large for Rick Owens in my opinion. XL fit me perfectly. Badass as anything, not an easy piece to wear. conflicted. First Rick Owens item I can remember ever being fascinated by.
Much has arrived, there is plenty of fun to be had.
WRT to sales, there are some fun things left. Favorite thing left is the grey t from V-V, but my tastes are definitely a bit off for much of SZ I think. http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk38/archivesf2/Volga%20Volga%20SS2009/?action=view¤t=SS2009part3072.jpg

That Sheepskin is superb!!! What's the colour, I'm getting it really pixelated on my screen.

All of the pieces are in black...sorry for the poor quality photos.
