in sweden horse-meat even get onto peoples sandwitches at breakfast (sometimes even called "hamburgermeat").

the darklands buy is nice, the armour-jacket is stellar, looks like it couldn't be worn though, hah.

i don't think CCP Srl eats every animal they use for leather, but the animals that they do use can be employed for other uses as well. in japan, it's not uncommon to eat even horse sashimi (some restaurants serve the mane!). so, the animals they use can serve other purposes than just clothing.

on another note, i wonder if any shops picked up that "fiberglass coat."

Only thing i can say for the "breadstick" trouser is; they fit like a dream.
The tan (or light grey) version is incredible.
The fabric starts textured as corduroy, with thick stripes which surprisingly ends/disappear just above the knee and smooths out to a feel very much like... denim(!).
They're cut slim (no shit!) and quite short, which in my book means i won't have to go to the tailor.
Size up one.
I'm usually a 46 in pretty much everything, including spiral jean.
In these i went with a 48 and the cut is like nothing else.
You would not want to break them in.
Go comfort!
Silhouette is slim enough to work all the way one size up.
Go for a waist line that's not skin tight.
Pretty stiff in both tan/grey and black version (different fabric)...
Also they're tailored to go perfectly with the new spiral zip boot, which is more narrow in the ankle than previous versions.
I constantly dream about the new red boot with the tan trouser.
Lovely.

red boot

Anybody see these irl? Pnod, you hunt them bad boys down yet? Assuming they are in fact out in the wild.

Last time my husband was in Japan, some friends took him to a teppanyaki-type restaurant where they served roughly a gazillion different sorts of meat, all brought out raw prior to cooking. They asked him if there was anything in particular that he didn't eat, and he replied that he wouldn't eat horse. The server obligingly began to remove the horse meat from the platter, upon which my husband pointed to a different unfamiliar-looking meat and said "Oh, I thought that was the horse meat." His friends said reassuringly, "Oh no, that's whale meat."

Never heard that about the mane, though. Why on earth...?

It could have something to do with ...

Breadsticks

I'm hungry now.

yeah i know what breadsticks are, but not how they relate to the trousers. maybe i should have made that clearer......

[Heirloom]

that is the only CCP garment I've ever really wanted. the blackening around the hooks is amazing

No, I should have been clearer.
That the qualities, textures, feelings, associations, etc.
of a breadstick could be transferred to a garment, as in

Thin, crisp, dry ...

But I haven't handled them, so it's just a guess.

[Johnny]

maybe B-I...that's the most (and therefore best) explanation we've had yet though! who came up with this moniker?

[Trebre]

Thin, crisp, dry ...

You pretty much nailed it there man.
And i'm wearing 2 versions of the pant.
Unfortunately not at the same time.

[BECOMING-INTENSE]

^That mister, would look silly, tempting maybe, but silly.
One at a time is sufficient.

The pants paired with that "threaded" pinstripe shirt
really works beautiful.

[coup de grace]

i tried to thread those pinstripes with my olive garden gray breadsticks the other day and the results were disastrous.

Maybe one could wear a size 46 as lining and a size 48 on top
Love the vein shirt!

Has anyone actually handled/seen the suit jacket that's supposed to go with breadstick?
And is the name also gonna be associated with... baking (prolonged cooking of food by dry heat acting by convection, not radiation).

[Konzern]

I have a few questions about the invisiseam coat.

Does it fit true to size?

Would it be possible to tailor the seams that dont have the invisisam technique?

Is it really fragile in the invisiseams?

Thanks in advance!

[Diego]

I have the ss08 jacket, had to size one up.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think it can be modified.

Not fragile on the invisisisiseams.

edit - had to size one up but I was a pig back then.
