Zippers, Buttons & Hardware - best/worst/repairs/discussion

[apathy!]

yeah, i'd say so... single zip is a troublemaker for me.

I think this is what causes hoodies to ride up. At least, it's what makes the riding up look bad. I'm way too self conscious about this.

Most of the time I preferred double zip and that's why most of the time I have to pass for ro leather.

Most of his leathers end above the hips anyway though. I'll try something with a double zipper on and undo it a little.

I am not sure if this is the right thread.

But does anyone know where I can find a placement for the A Diciannoventire Sneakers shoes laces?

You have to look for hemp laces. But sincerely I don't know where you could find, he has a factory that made them for him.

My Riri zipper puller on MA+ biker jacket was stuck yesterday, I hardly got off that horse leather. Had to brake and remove the pullers.

Anyone knows how to contact MA+?
Want to get new original pullers from him.

how is this a zipper question? :)

but yeah, either do it urself w a needle and fine thread, trying to stay as close as possible to the edges of the hole and 'gathering' it on the inside.

or just take it to ur tailor. they'll fix it pretty good fast and cheap.

I mean you can close it pretty easily but they'll be about 400 other holes after this one.

I'm not really sure what you mean by this? You mean that I will get them anyway because the fabric is so delicate?
I never gotten any hole in a rick basic neither from wearing.

[guardimp]

Yes, exactly that. These shirts rip on anything, and if you manage to not get any rips it will wear through.

You can buy direct from YKK. It's a pretty straight forward exercise.

The lead times depend on where you are based. Speaking from Australia, the excella are manufactured o/seas which obviously means longer lead times.

RICK OWENS HOODED RUGGED LEATHER JACKET

Either Rick is reworking some back stock of the troubled Island/Plinth Racaggni zipper into current collection, or he has reworked the design into another manufacturer. Anybody see this jacket in person yet?

^ LVR is just selling old stock without a markdown, they've had that jacket available for ages..

Oof. That was my other theory, but I was trying to be optimistic that Racaggnis were back in the mix.

for what it's worth I find the YKK zips smoother..
