Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

Fold it in a bag and freeze it for a good couple of days? Or maybe keep some coffee grind near it - it’ll absorb some of the smell.

Was at a post event function last night when at midnight someone lit the fire pit. Matchbox sized Surry Hills back yard and it smoked like crazy.

Get home good blazer reeks of smoke. Got it airing. I know that a good frost cleaned up a leather jacket overnight, however I am loathe to try it. Aside from dry cleaning any suggestions?

Sun dry it. Happens all the time. If it’s windy and sunny all the better

So apparently there are a bunch of PS x John Lobb shoes at the Paul Smith Warehouse sale in Paddington @ $150. Is there any chance one of you kind Syndeysiders might be headed there today or tomorrow and could help me out picking up some UK10 Westbournes or Loafers. Of course i'd be happy to pay a spotters fee etc. Always wanted a pair but ould never justify the price tag.

^That's insane!

There's always an issue with fit with buying shoes remotely but I suppose that at $150 a pair, the risk is negligible because you should easily be able to resell them for the same amount or perhaps more, if they don't fit.

Damn! I tried to have the Westbourne as a MTO, they’d only do it as a bespoke :- 2200 vs 7-9000... I was saddened!

Any blue in a 8.5EE??? I’m interested.

As someone said above - weak sun and wind is good on line for a few hours.

Also cheap(est) vodka in spray bottle. Light spritz all over.
(after you've done your throat, mouth and yourself - then do the clothes ! Yuk Yuk)

Wouldn’t do the vodka method. Ruins the cloth long term. Costume stagehand told me about that few years back

I ordered size 1( I am usually a w27). The front rise is quite high and the jeans will sit on the waist . I will probably have the wrinkled waist look -The belt loops looks longer to support this.

I got my jeans in the mail today. I tried them on quickly at work in the changerooms, so far I actually don't like them very much. They've added a bunch of extra fabric at the crotch and no matter where I sit them on my hips/waist, it gives me massive phantom moose knuckle. Also not really a fan of the yoke/pocket placement compared to the v2 Width jeans.

I'll try again at home tonight, but I'm considering returning them.

The Pieghe 2 are good though. They'll be a keeper.
