Mint, my size, natural shoulders and just the right drop for $10.99, yeah!

Glad Brioni run a little small, since I wear a 44L. This fits just right.

Saw this a few days ago and my high ass “researched” Chinese pottery for like 4 hours and i now feel i know less than when i started

I found This exact bag a few years back, it was a very good fake, hardware was cheap tho so that gave it away

While I haven’t held this particular Hermès bag, it’s touted as the cheap/economic bag from them. The hardware on this one seems pretty legitimate. Trying to find good up close pics of them online is a bit hard so I’m going to keep digging into it.

any sure way to bend the frame back? Looks like someone sat on them

 

[impuntura]

steam or hot water

Agree - opticians usually have a special steam device for this, and will bend back if you ask nicely.

If doing it at home and especially with hot water, I would be careful about the lenses. Taking them out can remove some of the structural integrity so you have to be more careful, but some coated lenses will de laminate if exposed to higher temperatures / hot water. Ask me how I know!

Don't dunk the whole frame in there ,just run a hot slow stream of water and precision bomb the area you need to work on.but don't overdo it or you will dry out that section and it will look like **** ,albeit straight.

Hello all, I'm new to the site though I've been looking at this thread for a while. Greetings from the UK, picked up this jumper recently, probably to sell. Seems to be a lot of old hand knit PRL jumpers around at the moment, does anyone have any idea of date for this one? Only other tag it has is a tiny one at the hem saying PCA 06?
