A quick pic of the blacked-out DR taken from shitty phone in the spoilers below (original runway styling ). The image quality doesn't do justice to the quality of the leather at all (see Vaio's pic above to see it's true beauty), it's more to show the blacked-out look. Despite the crappy quality, I think this captures the look and feel of the black hardware closer to what it is irl (the left side at least, lol).
Like I said before, the main difference between the blacked-out look and the normal look is the blacked-out look really plays down the technical details of the jacket (i.e the zips and shit). Plays them down quite a bit actually.
I love the look of the normal zips, I think the detailing is quite beautiful, but I think there are a lot of fits that will benefit from the black zips, particularly ones which don't want the attention focused on the zips. Like Unicorn said before too, from a distance the styling won't be so obvious, then BAM, up close they'll be feeling the full brunt of TOJ steeze.
