I don't know if this is better worn or framed and put up on a wall. Is it art?

It's art for sure. But duct taped to the wall is better than a frame...

So much goodness in yesterday’s drops! Now I just need my LuxeSwap credit to drop!

@gdl203 - Any word on when the Norwegian Rain preorders are due in? Also, will there be an additional Monitaly FW drop? They’ve become one of my favorites over the past couple years.

lesca p-43 and abasi rosborough ARC flight jacket

My only issue with the pieces from Desert Phantom is how unwieldy they all get once the wrinkles set in. Especially with the flight strips on the bomber. Once they got rumpled the jacket hangs outward and it gets a bit harder to dress it up as no cleaner near me wants to touch it.

@blacklight the nylon-looking strips that are on each side of the zipper? I hadn't noticed any rumpling in mine; but the whole jacket has been pretty loose and dangly from day 1, so any sort of way it hangs, i just go with it

Yeah. Granted I’ve folded mine for transport a couple times but it’s such an annoying little thing that I’ve been tempted to make the thousand dollar mistake of attempting to iron it. Received a bunch of compliments on it at the MoMa this week and the entire time couldn’t help but fuss over the wrinkles like a madman. Absolutely phenomenal piece though. Been constantly on the lookout for others like it. Looks great on you.

@blacklight thanks! which material is yours? i'd think you could probably steam the wrinkles out of the nylon parts.

Same one. If I can find a similar nylon elsewhere in my closet I might give it a go on that before testing my luck. If all else fails I might just reach out to Abasi on IG.

I’m really curious now. Can you point out what the problem is?
