Do they allow you to pay once they have the items in stock in preorder?

They will charge to your card once you make the order and you will be informed when they shipped the item. The items usually arrive sooner than the specified date.

I dig the leather but I'm afraid the goatskin will be too stiff for my taste, like that horse leather perfecto they originally made.

Any idea why the Balmain biker jeans are so much cheaper compared to FW11?

Also, would you be able to help me out with a sizing question? I'm thinking of buying these jeans:

I'm typically a 29/30 in DH jeans. Will a size 29 in these Balmain Bikers fit me?

Thanks in advance

Goatskin should be soft while the horse leather was really stiff. I am quite bewildered by their choice of leather this jacket. They should have used nappa leather.

The python lapel blazer is nice but the price is kinda steep. Anyway this blazer resember a Dior Homme blazer from 2004.

Pete said...

would you say the blazer from DH SS04 is better than the one made by Balmain Homme?

Monsieur AG said...

I don't think the prices for the jeans are really cheaper next season. In fact, it is almost the same. Between 600 to 700 euros. Jeans prices are usually determined by the number of details on it. If it is raw denim and does not have much details then it won't cost that much.

If you are a 29/30 in DH, perhaps you can try 28/29 for Balmain Homme. But do note that every jeans sizing is slightly differently.

Monsieur AG said...

I wouldn't say which is better. It's a personal thing. For me, i have already grown out of the cropped or short blazer look. I prefer the Balmain look now. Balmain blazers are usually the regular suit blazer length.

Hey AG,

Did you receive the biker leather from your Lvr order?
I'd like to know how it sizes, I am usually a 48 in DH leather, not sure if I should go for 48 or 50!!

Please keep us updated when you get your order.
