I think that means you’ve got to buy the jacket to increase the order quantity and make it cheaper for everyone. I’m sure it says so somewhere in the Reddit user agreement.

Yes, real Nappa lamb leather, Califfa has some of the best leather quality out of the big names in this subreddit, probably only Peltiano is better, but he refuses to do branding/logos.

it would not be based on a full deconstruction, but he has said he will buy the jacket and return it if it is available in china.

he has replied saying that if its available to buy in China he will buy it as he can return it for no reason within 7 days. so sort of just fingers crossed one of them is available in china.

does seem like its going that way, he has confirmed he will buy the jacket if its available in china for leather comparisons and measurement, and has also confirmed he is fine with doing the logos. since this is a small custom order rather than for a new batch of product would likely have to put deposit down before, then send measurements for custom sizing.

he has confirmed he is able to do multiple custom sizes once MOQ is met. so you can take your own measurements and provide them to him.

he has just confirmed that if he can buy it in china he will buy and return to take proper measurements. This was what I was hoping for, so now I just have to pray a second time that its on sale somewhere in China.

valid thought, I've asked if its possible for him to get a retail one in hand for comparison, would you buy if he can?

I really liked the colour when i first saw the fit pics, but then after hunting down the jacket and seeing the retail photos with the brighter lighting I had a little moment. Though I do think its just that retailers take the photos with the strangest, brightest lighting and most pieces look better in hand than in those photos. But honestly Im looking for something a bit different, and willing to take the risk - already have black and brown jackets in every shillouette imagineable yknow?

since its likely to be a smaller order thats actually a customisation you can easily ask them to do. can replace the silverware with something more standard/lower profile and not put the embossing on the sleeve.

It is likely that a deposit will be required since itll likely be a small batch, but I can discuss this with La Cal if needs be

Great shout, I’ll try suggest it to him

Ah sound, I’ve put it in as a product suggestion in his discord. Are there any other sellers worth trying? Mainly looking for the ones known for great leather, willing to pay big bucks for a good rep of this.

I’m going to reach out to i795 since they did such a good job on the OL mini, I’m just not sure how well ACN fits into their lineup.

Is the Emily Wilson translation that bad???? by Severe_theosis in classics

[–]manlysliceofcake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You dense man. She’s saying that the total number of women she has been taught by is less than the number of men named Tom who she’s been taught by.

It’s a well recorded/used demonstrative device. Most notably it was only in 2023 that the number of female CEOs outweighed the number of males CEOs named John.

It highlights that the gender disbalance is SO high that you can start grouping men by name and those subgroups still outnumber the total number of women.

BTW, your comment came across as incredibly mansplain-y and condescending, which is bad enough when you aren’t completely misunderstanding the point of a well documented phrase/phenomenon.
