hi everyone! so a couple weeks ago i Hyperfixated on Zerkon inks from china and fell in love with the inks #77 Angel Salad and #46 Venus. they’re both these lovely duochromatic lime green-blue colors that i’m just imagining would be a great daily writing ink.

problem is, i’m anxious about getting a 50ml bottle shipped all the way from china to the US 😬 what if the bottle breaks in transit!!! can yall recommend me an ink that is similar to these that are more readily available to order from the usual retailers (dromgoole’s, lemur, atlas, jetpens etc)?

okay now that i’ve uploaded these pix side by side, Angel Salad is way more blue than green but i hope you can understand the vision here. thankuuuu

EDIT: loving all the comments frm everyone, this is my first post here on r/fountainpens! i guess rather than finding a similar shade to order from a US retailer, i’ve just come to the conclusion that i shouldn’t feel nervous abt ordering frm aliexpress 😄 now to narrow down my color choices for an order …..

hi everyone! so i’ve been Yearning for this jacket for a couple years now and am debating between 2 second-hand listings. there’s one that’s a size too large for me at a good price, and there’s another in my correct size that’s about $400 more. here’s a link to the official item listing, they have plenty of hq photos to look at so u can get a better idea of how it would need to be tailored: https://acrnm.com/J70-BU_FW2324

would the design/construction of this piece be a good candidate for alteration? looking at the garment measurements, it looks like i would need the chest and length taken in by a few cm. the sleeves prob would also need to be taken in, though i imagine that wouldn’t be too complicated. & how much do you predict an alteration like this costing?

thanks for the input yall, this would be my first big purchase and first time getting something tailored!
