so what are they?

I'm not sure I understand the question. They're leather jackets? :confused:

If you mean the brand name, they're no-brand, made locally in the shop I bought them from.

Are they for wearing on a motorbike, looking cool like The Fonz at the malt shop or an essential part of an S&M lifestyle?

I'm selling I've bought these fine leather jackets.

Splurged a bit, since I'm on a business trip where there's a good local production of leather and a local friend brought me to a good, non-touristy shop.

They weren't cheap, but they'll serve me for some time and I'd have paid thrice the price for these back home.

Doesn't every country have their own brands? Jaffa isn't trademarked. (Granted, some of the German ones I've tasted are absolutely horrible because they're way too sweet.)

It's from ModCloth, and still available, apparently -- they're based in the US, so I had a poke 'round UK eBay because, looking at the reviews, the sizes are all over the shop (seems to be the biggest complaint/risk from reviewers -- I got the eBay seller kindly to measure the dress for me before I hit the BIN). This one is a 'Large' but fits a UK 10. I've got to do a smidge of tailoring on it, but other than that, it fits me great.

Each one of the 'news items' actually has a little story to it, and the print isn't overly repetitive, so there are a lot of them! :3:

I hope she says yes. We just bought a house together so the risk she doesn't is probably limited.

Hmm, what have we here?
I bought some art (prints) for a new, slightly more modern apartment. I don’t know art or what’s considered generic doctors office art but I like Leonid Afremov so thats what I got. Not my pics or my apartment, but these are the prints and sizes I got.

Also note that measuring, hanging and leveling 3 piece canvases is a bitch.





The second one is hands down my favorite. I think I have a thing for rain and bright colors.

Dunno where you are (I'm in the UK), but the L I have fits me really well, and I'm a UK 10. The fabric doesn't stretch; it's 100% cotton. If you're in the US, it'd probably be easier to order and return for a better size; it's a right faff for me, hence looking on ebay. Measured flat, the L waist is very slightly over 14 inches. Widest part of bust underarms is 17 inches. From the shoulder seam to waist is 15.5 inches. Waist to hem is 20 inches. I've got to take in the top a wee bit as I've got a small bust, but it just means re-stitching the shoulder hems a bit.

The reviews on the site are useless, as half rave about the dresses being true to size, and the other half complaining that the sizing is way off. There should be a sizing chart on the site page, tho.

Use tracing paper. Cut it to the size of your piece, lay it on the back and pencil in the mounting points, and then tape it to your wall. Do all of your leveling now. Nail/drill/whatever right through the paper. Hang your piece over it, and when you are happy with everything, tear the paper out from behind it. Or forget it's there and have it available for next time. For a 3-piece you could either do 3 sheets or tape a bunch of them together and frame it out on your floor.

You may find better searching around, but I got them from https://www.icanvas.com. They have sales all the time and I snagged both shipped for pretty cheap. Made in the USA, the wood construction is ok and the print quality is better than expected. I didn’t want to spend a ton for apartment art that may get damaged when I eventually move into a house.

Nice.
I got this one a couple of years back, not a print, but an actual canvas painting (28x35")from the Afremov site. Had to stretch it on a frame myself, but that's fairly easy.

Yeah, they are most likely mass produced by his students, but it looks nice, was $80 including shipping from Mexico to Germany, so what.

I never would have thought I’d be able to get more than a print for what he’s charging.
