Yeah, there is definitely a bit of a dearth in interesting releases. I still think IS is putting out good stuff. Devoa has finally coming around again to being good. Layer-0, LUC, and m.a+ are all guilty of releasing the same **** every season. Good ****, but the same ****. CCP's died in 2010 and they've been covering it up Weekend at Bernie's style ever since. Altieri sells shoes that cost as much as a really nice holiday and has recently decided to make anatomical pants over a decade after Daisuke Nishida and Aitor Throup already perfected it. Deepti Barth is making CCP fan fiction. Simone "Adiciadveiartdoao" Cecechetto keeps accidently making the same shoes as everyone else and asked someone else to make Paul Harnden's clothes - which he will sell. Harnden himself rolls four dice before each season's presentations then adds that to the current price of last years pieces - which will be available again this year and every year following. Rick is thinking about how best to incorporate brutalist architecture and fisting into the design of a cashmere futon.

Also, Eck has pre-ordered five pairs of boots but will be selling off approximately the same amount because he understands the transient nature of existence, but he also lives somewhere you can only wear a leather jacket for 32 days out of the year. SinnedK will post pictures of his CCP tornadoes on his kitchen counter, attempt to answer someone's question and somehow manage to confuse himself. Nahneun will abuse an easy mark (or SinnedK - arguably one in the same) and deliver the coup de grace via K-Pop gif. Spacepople will post in all lower case obliquely referencing a science fiction book everyone thought was once groundbreaking and tie in something to do with Altieri; possibly he's acquired one of his dreadlocks that was recently excavated from some salt flats in Guam. Newp will argue about something and against four to five people for four to five pages pages before forgetting what his original argument was and blasting off like Team Rocket... and returning like Team Rocket. Finally NicelyNice will do something quaint, almost certainly with his wife; something along the lines of a trip across Tokyo to eat a soft serve ice cream, or to see the newest release of indigo hand-dyed tunics from the Japanese family run clothing store that specialises in apparel from the Dark Ages: all fabric sourced from crypts, mausoleums, sepulchres, and so on. Once he retuns he will unwittingly have bought a thousand dollar coat or five hundred dollar pair of pants. Then he'll watch American Football in his pyjamas.

See ya.

Hey guys, I don't tend to post here often but wanted to share some pictures of my new leather. I don't tend to see Takahiro Miyashita as "artisanal" the same way designers discussed here are, but to me this jacket is definitely worthy of that descriptor!

The jacket itself.

The hood itself is constructed from three different batches of horse leather, each featuring a different level of dyeing.

Body and sleeve detail.

Kangaroo leather pockets -- very thin and delicate, though. I'm always afraid of them tearing.

Back hem is longer on the right than on the left.

I put up a ton more pictures here -- there's just so much to pore over for this jacket.

I believe (if correct) he used to work at Number Nine. His style definitely has evolved a lot with the Sololst. Somehow it reminds me of my Lanvin jacket and got me want to wear it again today, though it's relatively warm tonight.
