I'm 43 chest 31 waist and my size L is big enough to wear with a sweater.

Well, fashion week has come and gone in Paris, and some showroom pics are starting to leak out. My favorite was one of the more minimalist Julius, unsurprisingly.

Symmetric worn open, raglan, lengthened sleeves. Glee. Only downside is it's apparently lamb, which unless Julius has a new supplier for this season I've always considered a little shabby compared to other brands.

What's the name of the pure white ones (no hint of yellow, really icey colour)? I thought those were "pearl".

Haha, that's Benji! Dude doesn't wear stuff like Julius anyway, his wardrobe is around 95% CCP w. some Harnden, LUC and MA+.

Yeah, I know. He has an overlock to his name I believe.

On a related note, now that pricing info has dribbled out, I am very happy that I don't want to wear CCP or MA+. Retail has increased like 30% for both.

they were milk. but like drkshdw and dust, totally inconsistent season to season. dust has been brown, beige, cement grey and light grey over the last 4-6 seasons.

CCP has used more labour intensive techniques and pricey materials this season. I think his pricing is wack and don't wear that stuff anymore anyway so I'm not affected but, this time, there is a good reason.

but i prefer german champagne and caviar movies.

the reissues at least are starting to utilize original kinds of leathers though. special orders used to be painfully disappointing. fencing reorders, until this season, were awful.

I'm guessing they change names from season to season- because this past seasons white color was called "oyster". edit: nvm, I misread fuumas "?", I thought he was asking about white with a hint of yellow.

there are no true white anymore. the gradient leathers from strutter or creatch maybe were literally and metaphorically a move away from white. even the ones that look white now in pictures are actually very light grey or as fuuma perfectly described them, icey.

standards now color wise are pearl, dust, black and drkshdw with variations within each but no additional color names. between the variations and the lathers, which now range from oiled calf, blistered lamb, washed calf, hammered lamb and blistered neoprene, there are a lot of variations out there. it is a shame, however, that they no longer make milk. would be nice to have one in the arsenal.

Oh I think my white jacket is milk (true white but any white leather will have a hint of something if you place it near warmer or colder colour and RO white has a hint of grey/blue).
