Yeah layer 0 leathers have always interested me. The details like the lining and that crazy zipper he uses sometimes all are great. awesome purchase

Looks like Amadei has been pulled on the inspirational teat of those ugly Linea microlace boots.

Those are hideous

"Anything nice is always ruined by a middle seam." - Mr. Moo

i think the microlace/staple/middle seam would work better if the leather was non-reverse. I think the real deal-breaker is that overly long tongue.

yea boots aren't that great but i thought the design was kinda interesting, probably not IRL

did you buy the leather from L-0? I saw it on the blog.

That jacket is a beauty. Congrats!

Is there a separate Layer-0 blog? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

Yeah, that jacket is fantastic. Sure you'll wear it well

More pics of the 123&124 shoes after a week or so of breaking them in, waiting for this soccer game to start!!

Nice buy!

How does it fit? I tried an earlier model and was a bit boxy

 

[uzairh]

/\ Fit is different from earlier models; not boxy at at all. Much slimmer and fitted all over. Cut is also shorter than earlier seasons.

They had the same model available in cotton also; I don't know if any store got it.

The earlier collection blazers/jackets used to have the 'A' panel on the back; glad mine doesn't:

I don't know too much about the brand, unfortunately. I think they were only produced for a season or two back in 2010. They show up occasionally on Rakuten or Yahoo auctions, been searching for a couple years now and lucked into a brand new pair. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Guidis are like slippers comfortable, moo just loves to shave against the grain.

Everybody's feet are different and what one finds comfortable another may not. He didn't find guidi comfortable and thats a completely valid opinion. I know some shoes such as a1923 and guidi have a break in period so maybe when you get past that the shoes are comfy. But some of us feel that shoes should be comfortable out of the box. The point is that everyone is valid. I think someone needs to clarify whether after the break in period the guidi become comfortable (@nicelynice probably will have the best opinion). Innately thats what we should know. I did not own guidi long enough to find out whether they break into the comfort all of you describe. But then again I prefer to have something comfortable out of the box. The a1923 i owned needed some break in and even after the break in they weren't as comfy as my tornados.

Question for everyone, how hard do you guys wear your "baller boots"? I find myself wearing my tornados mostly on the weekend but when i do i wear them for 8hrs+ walking.

Guidis take a few weeks to break in for sure and are uncomfortable for 5 days at most. The reason why they become so comfortable is that they come tight and then mold to your foot, if they werent uncomfortable at first they wouldnt be as comfortable in the end. I'm a big fan of the double sole guidis like the 788Z, more structure, less meat sock.
