Thank you. Yeah, I mean Bugatti. I've been to Sbaiz 2 weeks ago and the smallest size of all jeans they showed me was 30. They were even surprised when I asked them a smaller size. I definitely hate that store, they have no idea of what are they selling and they try to f*ck you too. I found there an old pair of 2002 DH white sneakers I liked and the woman said that they were new ones and that they were continuous sneakers they receive every year...
Do you know any other place I can find size 29 in 19 cm jeans?

HA HA, yeah SBAIZ sucks, and salesgirls are gross and don't know crap, they always say everything they sell is a "carry over" so no discount, they still believe that DH is designed by john galliano!!!
for 29 size in 19 you can keep an eye on msn dior homme group, buying/selling section, and of course ebay. it's only a matter of patience, you'll get them trust me.
if u want, since in march i'll be in new york i can look for you. i'm often in milano too, what jeans style r u looking for?

That's great. I will let you know, thanks. Anyway I've just called Paranà (Padova) and it seems they have s/s distressed (rebel?) jeans and new raw denims of my size in 19cms. I think I'm gonna buy the raw denims, even if I'm not sure beacause you and an other guy said that the old ones have lower rise. Do you think there is much difference? 0,5" should be 1,25 cm. Do you think is this difference relevant or not? Does it really change the shape and how jeans look like on you?
Do raw denims shrink much?

I do not wash my raw denims, therefore they haven't shrunk...nor have they noticeably gotten looser, as the denim if fairly stiff. When I purchased them, one of the SAs at the NY store told me they were best if not washed, as they looked better with wear...and he was right.

Thanks GG...I am just not sure if I am ready to spend 2,000 USD...as I am going to Paris early next year, and need to save money (hopefully alot of the pieces from the upcoming AW 06.07 collection will be on sale). I know that it has been said before that the Paris store has a large amount of past season pieces...but does anyone know if they would possible have rarer past-season pieces, and maybe how far back the stock goes.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but the AW 0607 Video is up on the Dior site, dont get a good view of the clothes die to the angle. Still the music is top notch yet again !

barneys got this jacket in black. its 3,500 something and the fit is just terrible. it fits like the way albert mentioned before. sleeves are slim but around the body it fits like you have a big pot belly. maybe its because of the diagonal zip off. also the leather this season is a new leather. it smells like brand new action figures literally. also the feel is not that buttery smooth leather. it kinda feels more like a distressed leather, little more rough.

 

[AlexN]

Will you be listing the White button down on ebay any time soon Alex?

If I don't trade it for something else, then I will.

How was the quality of the leather? Was it as bad as last season?

 

[EdK]

i dont know if i can say its bad quality, its just different. and its all pre wrinkled and stuff. before you had to break in dior leather jackets now not so much

 

[Chinor1z]

Hmm, it looks a LOT like that Margiela V-zip leather jacket from last season too... The brass zippers don't do it for me. Dior should always be about black or chrome zips in my opinion.

Was the leather sort of papery? It looks sort of like that in your photos.

Props for the photos by the way!

Always like that jacket but not so sure now. Might look different in grey.

 

[EdK]

hmmmm, as much as i can remember yea it was slighty papery. it was more on the slighty rough pleathery side. could be the reason why it smells like action figures....lol, i know it sounds weird, but it really does. its not the buttery plump leather used SS 05 and prior. and saks is getting this in gray juice major.

Good to know there's a DH shop in Padova.
Bugatti told me that raw denim in fact is washed as well, it's just not "stone" washed: so it should not shrink.
IMO 1,25 cm can be a relevant difference, depending on how do you like to wear jeans. If you wear them low rise, then they will look a little more baggy. I have a VOTC 19cm, size fits me perfectly tight everywere but the back, which is a bit loose. Best thing is to try them on, you can do that buying from Luisaviaroma and returning if you don't like them, total cost of the thing would be 15+15 Euro but can be worth

 

[belletrist]

hi
can someone tell me about this item?

Is it nice? How much does it retail for?
what about the size?
thanks

 

[AlexN]

^They're just basic corduroys in Dior Homme shape, distressed a bit. They're really not very durable...the seams will come undone easily and the fabric is thin (though soft) and could probably rip easily. The ones in the picture are from VOTC. The retail was around $400 I think, maybe less. That color (beige) fit really small. I wear a 28 usually, and I need a 29 or 30 in these. They fit kinda like the black canvas jeans from S/S 05.

 

[belletrist]

sad that they are fragile... i would not spend 400 on something that will rip ('cause i don't really take care of my clothes, i need to live w/them)
i'd better buy a jean, but except the ss 06 19 cm, i don't see what i could buy... there is only one in the fw 06 (seem special don't they? , there is a grey band at the belt level), and i have never seen any jeans in 27 on ebay...

 

[seeing_double]

There are an abundance of jeans featured on LVR for SS 06...they may not come in a 27, but it would give you an idea of what you could phone order. As for the AW 06.07 jeans...I am having doubts. I was very drawn to them at first, but now I am not so sure. I need to see them on my body before making judgement.

Speaking of AW 06.07, what do you all think the prices will be like. Is "mens couture" really just a way to steeply up prices (as I am sure much of the collection will be mass produced), or do you think they will remain about the same?

 

[justinelm]

So, what did you guys think about the Dior-ed up Rolling Stones at the Superbowl half-time show ?

I liked what the 2 guitarists were wearing, a little roughed-up. Mick Jagger was wearing amazing clothes but it might not have been 'rough' enough imho.
