The Glow Inc. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I agree. Not a big fan of leather pants unless they are worn by cock-rockers or hot girls to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Came across these two tips that thought should be shared here:1. Apparently this is a remedy to having to iron a shirt. No idea if this works because I personally enjoy ironing and don't have a dryer. Would be most appreciated though if someone could give this a try because I'm so curious as to its efficacy. 2. Absolutely certain this would work really well on light coloured Chucks. Dying is easy and small pots of powdered dye are available at craft and fabric stores. Instructions are easy to follow. Better than buying a new pair if the ones you've got are looking a little scruffy. The only colour I would avoid is black, because IMO it never comes out black enough. But it's worth a try if you don't mind grey. Could just do as I do (as my mum has taught me) - scrub them with Jif. Works a treat on my white canvas slip ons, Chucks and Volleys.

Axls Rocket Queen Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yeah, or surely just a run through the washing machine will sort them out without having to change the colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Leather trenches don't work unless you're in The Matrix. Just like fedoras won't work unless you're living in the 60s. Edited May 4, 2014 by Lithium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 It's a rather short one though. Doesn't look like the long ones the wannabe goth guys with spiky hair wear...Maybe my perception is distorted.Another picture, less Matrix-ish : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin White Duke Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 ^He is right. It doesn't even look like the same jacket in both pictures and the one unzipped looks way better. Now just if someone told Axl the same. However, I think the jacket is a bit wannabe hipster with nerdy glasses. But I guess that's what makes it fashionable. I don't know how this stuff works.

Lithium Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 My Hugo Boss leather jacket is the favourite thing in my wardrobe. It's the most I've ever spent on a single item of clothing, but it was fucking worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Did you go for black or brown like the one above?Hugo Boss make some really nice leather jackets. I guess they had plenty of practice fitting out the SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhead74 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 http://www.soulrevolver.com/There's some fuckin' crackers here Yeah these jackets look fantastic. The quality of the leather looks amazing and the styles and cuts are really nice. I especially love this one, and the red detail on the inside of the zipper is great. Unfortunately the women's jackets they have on offer aren't anywhere near as interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead74 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'd never buy one online, getting the right fit in a leather jacket really requires you to try it on instore.I tend to agree with the exception of two factors:1. It's a brand that you know your size well and can trust the fit and quality.2. That the website will allow a full refund for return and the price they are offering is so good that it makes it worth the possibility of having to return it if you don't like it. Sometimes retail stores are just taking the piss with the prices they offer and online offers are worth the risk. Also note that all good online clothing retailers will have a good size chart. If you follow the measurements carefully and know how to measure yourself properly you shouldn't have too much of an issue. Obviously if you have funny proportions and are inbetween sizes or have split size you won't know which size to go for, so providing you fall into one size bracket, size charts are pretty reliable. A lot of listings will also include specific garment measurements like shoulder to hem, and sleeve length measurements, and even the models height and the specific size they are wearing so you can compare that to your own height. Who would have thought 20 years ago that people today would be buying things like shoes without trying them on or even holding them in their hands first. Goes to show with the right systems in place, the unlikely really is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhead74 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I went into H&M today to buy a $6.95 belt for my partner and came out with a bag of stuff totalling $178. I don't know how I do this? I see stuff and the next thing I'm trying something on (not even in a fitting room, I just put it on in the aisles and find the nearest mirror) and I love it and I think about all the things that it would go really well with in my current wardrobe (vastly enhancing that wardrobe thereby justifying previous purchases) and then some random girl tells me she loves it and goes to try one on herself and I look at the price tag and laugh out loud knowing that I couldn't possibly make the same thing for that price and the next thing I know I'm happily strolling out the store with a few glam new additions to my repertoire of outfits. But not saving any money. And I wanted it but sooooooo didn't NEED it. (Well at the point of purchase I believe I 'need' it because it goes so well with the shoes I bought last week that I didn't really need either). Ah whatever.......none of it goes on credit, it's money I HAVE. Well I have it for a short period of time. And most importantly, I LOVE IT ALL!!!I FUCKING LOVE MY STUFF! That's unhealthy isn't it? (PS, for those wondering I bought a gorgeous olive green brocade evening coat with the most amazing sleeves, a casual style jumper which is great for the cooler months, and yes, the $6.95 belt for my man. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If you have the money to spend it's no big deal really. As long as you actually like it and use it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
