Romantic Europe meets NYC: the ROBERT GELLER thread

[conceptual 4est]

Did RG just start doing in between sizes this season, like 33? Last season's 32's were a bit too tight and 34 was a bit big in the waist.

Yes, in the RG Denim program they added size 31 and 33

And now he's listed those $35 blue mainline sweats for $200 + shipping. I think I'd accept "sorry man, I resell stuff as a side business" as a rationale, but his feigning ignorance is just shameless.

Can anyone see the farfetch private sale? Any idea if any RG is on sale there? I can't see it.

Yeah the Leopard shirt, enzyme wash pants, gray stripe tee and a couple plain items.

Casper bomber too but there was only a size 50 left to begin with

I don't know if I'll get a lot of help on this one...has anybody washed/soaked a Geller leather jacket? I picked up a 2010 leather secondhand, and was thinking about it. As all Geller leathers, it is SUPER soft (lambskin), and all the care tags basically seem to say that if it touches water, it'll disintegrate.

I remember an article from former Geller employee Peter about giving a Geller jacket a bath (<article)
and guys on SZ washing their Rick lamb jackets. I was just thinking of deodorizing/sanitizing the inside and then cold soaking it.

Anyway...any experience? I guess I can just spend $60 on a professional cleaner, but I thought I'd ask first (also, I'm cheap)

I can't help but I'm curious why you want to wash it? Just to clean it because it's second hand?

It's not the outside leather I'm worried about (I mean, it's not 100% clean but I can deal with it) but the inside. I don't know what slob monster wore it before me. My plan was to deodorize the inside with white vinegar, and soak it to get rid of the smell. And if the soak got rid of some of the outside dirt, it's a bonus.

I checked one dry cleaning place and they said the inside and outside were a package deal, so basically I would be paying for the whole enchilada when I just want the inside cleaned.

I've done it...4 times

3 of them were AW13 Fritzs, one in a different version and the other 2 were different sizes and hot wash vs cold.
They didn't shrink hardly at all unless washed and dried hot.

The other one was the V neck from SS14 in a really thin leather and it shrunk significantly and dried up a lot so I had to grease it up afterwards. That was just a soak

So if it fits you now I wouldn't recommend risking it

Got my Immigrant tee today (up in Canada). Never received any tracking info, but they marked the package as a low-value gift which is neat. Glad I didn't take the advice of sizing up -- I'm a size 48 EU and got a Medium -- as it fits pretty relaxed on me.

Has anyone tried on this season's type 2 denim (particularly the slate)? Safe to go TTS? The shops I've seen post measurements are all drastically different from each other.

Massimo is back on barneyswarehouse in 46, 50. Not at the $187 price though

I would try them on first, I wouldn't chance it. Try to order somewhere that offers free returns or pay thru PayPal for free returns.

If it helps at all, my SS17 RG01 size 30 black/slate were close to the same size in the waist (~16-16.25".) However, my SS16 RG02 size 30 jeans varied in size in the waist (.25 - .5 inch margin.)
