Artisanal Clothing and accessories discussion (MA+, CCP, Layer-0, Paul Harnden, Taichi Murakami, Bor

I've also got some Altieri stuff that I'm selling.

• Carpe Diem linen shirt jacket in a beautiful bordeaux. Size 2.

• L'maltieri 5-pocket pants in the same material (bordeaux heavy linen) as above. Straight leg, raw hems, button fly. OG Carpe pants in fabric, not leather like every pair on y!. Size 2. Basically Altieri's version of jeans. A little history lesson: He wanted to recreate the way denim ages and ended up going for linen. Heavy linen. Hence the shirt jackets and these "jeans". Unfortunately, I need a size 3.

PICS COMING

• Carpe/L'm/Linea Heavy linen and cotton poplin pants. I'm not sure which label these were released on. They're a grey heavy linen outer with the inner and a extended top block in bordeaux poplin cotton. Never seen this cut before. Great, but once again too small for me as they're size 2. Excuse the ****** pictures. I'll fix em up when I list properly.

Spoiler: ****** close ups

Maybe it's because nothing interestingly new has come out? I know it doesn't have to be limited to that but what's out there have pretty much been discussed... or not that interesting. Lol! Same as here, there's not much activity on SZ. At least this is only a thread...

 

[fistinyoface]

Yeah, there is definitely a bit of a dearth in interesting releases. I still think IS is putting out good stuff. Devoa has finally coming around again to being good. Layer-0, LUC, and m.a+ are all guilty of releasing the same **** every season. Good ****, but the same ****. CCP's died in 2010 and they've been covering it up Weekend at Bernie's style ever since. Altieri sells shoes that cost as much as a really nice holiday and has recently decided to make anatomical pants over a decade after Daisuke Nishida and Aitor Throup already perfected it. Deepti Barth is making CCP fan fiction. Simone "Adiciadveiartdoao" Cecechetto keeps accidently making the same shoes as everyone else and asked someone else to make Paul Harnden's clothes - which he will sell. Harnden himself rolls four dice before each season's presentations then adds that to the current price of last years pieces - which will be available again this year and every year following. Rick is thinking about how best to incorporate brutalist architecture and fisting into the design of a cashmere futon.

Also, Eck has pre-ordered five pairs of boots but will be selling off approximately the same amount because he understands the transient nature of existence, but he also lives somewhere you can only wear a leather jacket for 32 days out of the year. SinnedK will post pictures of his CCP tornadoes on his kitchen counter, attempt to answer someone's question and somehow manage to confuse himself. Nahneun will abuse an easy mark (or SinnedK - arguably one in the same) and deliver the coup de grace via K-Pop gif. Spacepople will post in all lower case obliquely referencing a science fiction book everyone thought was once groundbreaking and tie in something to do with Altieri; possibly he's acquired one of his dreadlocks that was recently excavated from some salt flats in Guam. Newp will argue about something and against four to five people for four to five pages pages before forgetting what his original argument was and blasting off like Team Rocket... and returning like Team Rocket. Finally NicelyNice will do something quaint, almost certainly with his wife; something along the lines of a trip across Tokyo to eat a soft serve ice cream, or to see the newest release of indigo hand-dyed tunics from the Japanese family run clothing store that specialises in apparel from the Dark Ages: all fabric sourced from crypts, mausoleums, sepulchres, and so on. Once he retuns he will unwittingly have bought a thousand dollar coat or five hundred dollar pair of pants. Then he'll watch American Football in his pyjamas.

See ya.

You're objectively evil!

It was simply amplified for comedic effect. Big S. If you were insulted then please accept my apologies.

appreciate that, edited my comment...

i did like the whole thing about the designers

How much sizing variance is there in Carpe linen shirt jackets between seasons?

I finally got my hands on one, but it is way too tight in the sleeves. Like, sizing-up-probably-won't-help tight. Am I gonna be SOL on that piece no matter which version I get?

 

[fistinyoface]

There's a few variations but it's slight. Like some were lined, some not. Some had intentional rust stain treatment. A few other things. But yes, you're out of luck.

p.s. What colour and size is it? I may take if off your hands...

p.p.s. If anyone reading this has a black or dark grey one in size 3, my pm's are always open.

I'm looking for a sz 4 heavy linen …

 

[Callusing]

@fistinyoface It's this guy:


Size tag is gone, pretty sure it's a 2, bought it off Grailed a few weeks ago. (listings/2566201-Carpe-Diem---Lmaltieri-Undyed-Heavy-Linen-Shirt). I've been planning to put it back up for sale for a little while, just haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'll happily pass it along.

Either way, I'll be searching out something similar that actually fits, because it's exactly the sort of piece I've been hunting for a couple years now.
