Carpe Diem Leather Shirts

So ive been thinking for a while to buy one of those thin washed leather shirts. I called Maxfield and they run around 2800-3 grand???
I knew they were expensive but that much is ridiculous. I know theres a couple people on here that own one. Did you all that have one pay that much?
I was expecting maybe around 1500..less then two grand

Sounds like a wardrobe piece one buys when they truly have nothing else to buy. I need to see pictures of one of these.

I used to have a patterned suede shirt by Etro and it was not very comfortable to wear.

I also still have a relentlessly tacky leather and canvas shirt by Gucci that had the G logo all over. It is so over-the-top it is acceptable to wear.

that reminds me of the ghetto prom pictures

The Carpe diem shirts dont look tacky at all.
And yea I have a lot of clothing and I want soemthing different then most of the **** I have and this would be it. But that price is crazy. Idk, I just wanna see how much poeple payed for em for the ones who hav em here...I know fuuma has one and coldrice

i still have no idea what else i'd wear with a leather shirt....i can't get past the stereotypical trashy biker look. fuuma said it was his most versitile piece in his wardrobe......

i guess i'd have to see it to believe it. I'm sure it's completely fine. Just something about the idea of having a leather shirt really still rubs me the wrong way....cuz after that....what else is there....leather pants....

Yea i know what you mean. Id never do leather pants but who knows. Before i saw the shirts, I was thinking that id never wear a leather shirt

I'd wear a leather suit from Jean-Claude Jitrois. http://www.jitrois.com/ I have a pair of brown leather trousers from Versace.

I've handled the shirts at maxfield. What makes them dope is the type of leather and the fact that it's matte in addition to being cut very well. **** I laughed too but I saw the green and the purple I was like **** I'd rock this if I was wiping ****** with hundys. I'd even get the leather coat that was like 5k.

How much were they were?
3 grand ?
The thin leather ones
I want a purple washed one in the thin matte type

Other labels make leather shirts as well, not just Cdiem. Definitely not for the unsure, however.

I think a vast majority of people on the forums who own leather shirts from the likes of Cdiem got them at a steep discount. As many items coming from LUC, Cdiem, etc. etc., they usually don't sell well in the stores at full price.. so take that into consideration. IMO I would never pay $1500 for a leather shirt. Of course take into consideration that I'm poor, but you could find some second hand leather jackets from really great labels in the $400-500 range. Julius makes a leather shirt that you can cop for like $600 from xcoldricex.

It's a pretty versatile item, great for layering. Looks tough as hell over a black collarless low-slung t-shirt, and then a short, structured sports jacket on top. Could wear with dark jeans so long as the whole top half isn't black. With the distressing done, the leather isn't pure black anyway.

Yea, I was thinking of second hand..but ebay doesnt have anything
ill check that out from cold rice
maybe it will pop up on the forum, but I heard Cdiem never goes on sale. I don tknow if thats entirely true though

The linea one was 2800 and I didn't even like that one. The carpes were 2300, thicker and nicer looking. I think the person you spoke to didn't know what they were talking about.

Yea, I thought they were around that price range instead of 3 grand. Damn hmm next time im in LA...
i think its one of those things you shouldnt purchase over the phone esp thorugh maxfield
