Any good pickups for SS??

Still can't get behind the tyvek linings for Taichi stuff.
Individual Sentiments is great, but local stores didn't get the right sizes/fabric combos for me. Given the range of options, this brand is screaming for custom orders.
Layer-0 is in hiatus as far as local stores go.
PR Patterson still doesn't have a local stockist.
The only PH stuff we got in was some those all-silk jackets which are totally cool but not for me.
Arts + Science is strong as always, but putting out the same stuff as usual. Almost bought a balmacaan collar coat yesterday.
MA+ and LUC just too expensive.

Anyone buy anything??

i guess this means you liked the shirt you just picked up ?

i would say his works are severely under priced, especially considering what ss goes for ...

Haven't seen much out there yet. I did pick up a couple of things from the "too expensive" category, although got a great deal on them both, which of course meant I couldn't say no. No pics of the back horse backzips yet, hopefully I'll get some soon. The jacket in size 56 ended up stretching out pretty nicely to fit me. I guess that's a good thing. Amazing leather.

Yeah, I'm buying Individual Sentiments custom orders. And whatever Carpe/L'Maltieri that catches my eye and hits the market. Taking a trip down to Melbourne soon, I want to hit Eastern Market and check out their P R Patterson stock.

MA+ is fantastic ****, i love that biker jacket he makes but read it is a bit fragile. The ma+ horse backzip boots i had for over a year and wore them hard until recently and those held up really well. Just make sure you take care of them in terms of cleaning/brushing, when they get dirty after rain with little drips they look ugly. Those boots are meant to be clean, whereas the L0 you and i discussed can be dragged through the mud and look cool.

@nicelynice I've picked up a shirt and pair of pants from Frank Leder, no other cops for a while because of non-clothing purchases

@sinnedk Maybe it differs from leather to leather but the biker jacket I have feels incredibly tough, it feels like it would make it through the apocalypse

so i tried it on as well and think it was fine. but the issues i heard were around the lining and stitching not the actual leather quality. sorry i should of elaborated.

EDIT: also jealous that you have a ma+ biker jacket, which leather do you recommend for it? lined or unlined?
