New Release - aXion men's boots

(ok, ok, I'm a little late posting this stuff...)

10/18/08 ~ Autumn is here, the air is crisp, and my thoughts turn to winter boots with the rugged aXion line of men's hiking boots. Whether you're exploring the urban or rural environment, these fully detailed walking/running/jumping/climbing/hiking boots, made from rough suede and Gore-Tex (R) on a rugged and resilient non-slip sole, with fur cuff and sheepskin lining, will get you there. Available in muted black, blue, brown, gray, olive and sand.
These shoes come with the new Shoe Resizer, and are available Transfer OK or Copy OK. Demos and a Fat-Pack (all 6 pairs) are available at the Main Store.

Shoe ReSizer added to Oslo and Quixote

The Shoe ReSizer made its first appearance in the Havana sandals, and subsequently in both aXion and Rigger boots. This easy to use device enables the wearer to adjust the size of their shoes from the pre-set Medium, down to XS and up to XXL.

JCS has now embarked on a long-term program to retro-fit all our boots and shoes with the ReSizer.

The first shoes to be retro-fitted with the ReSizer are:
Oslo - Elastic-sided men's ankle boots. To the original Black, Brown, Gray and Khaki, we have added Black Cherry and a warm Mid-Brown.
Quixote - Men's boots with large side buckle in the ever-popular Black, Brown, Clay and Black Cherry.

Beach shoes on SALE !!!

A few weeks ago I released my men's beach shoes: Finz, Reef Rider and Mavericks. I took my usual care with the shape and the textures, but priced them well below my leather shoes. They didn't sell very well, and I think I know why. In RL, shoes like these, a sort of cross between crocs, jellies and flip-flops, would be dirt cheap, since they'd be mass-produced in China. Rather than think the design is at fault, I prefer to believe that there is an expectation carried over from RL, that this kind of footwear should also be dirt cheap, regardless of the time spent making them. It is with great excitement therefore, that I proudly announce that from this time forth, Finz, Reef Rider and Mavericks, will be on SALE for L50.

Resizer

After much prodding from Ben Vanguard of SL Men, I have finally gone over to using a Resizer. No more preset Small, Medium or Large sizes. Now the end user can decide what is the best size for their shoes: anything from XS to XXL, with fine tuning available. I tried the scripts out on my new men's sandals, Havana, and was very pleased with the results. It's simple to install, with thorough clean up and an easy-to-use Menu, and I shall be using this tool from now on. As time allows, I will retro-fit this into my earlier shoes, beginning with the ones that only offer 2 sizes.

Copy OK, No Transfer shoe vendor

This is something I should have done a long time ago! I finally got around to placing a Copy OK No Transfer shoe vendor in my Main Store. If you are one of those people who keeps outfits in folders, and don't mind forgoing the option to transfer inventory to others, this is the way to go. Now you can create multiple copies of your favorite shoes. So far the vendor contains Carl Perkins, Dublin, Havana, Kippers, Oslo, Quixote, Scratch, Sebastian, Shanghai and SOMA. Other shoes will be added as I get around to it.

JCS has a new home !!!

La Fortuna 1, 51/48/22

JCS has a new home in the beautiful Costa Rica Estates. I'd like to thank my good friend Giancarlo Takacs for giving me exactly what I needed, and his builder Rawly Rousselot for his excellent eye for detail, in helping me get my store set up in record time. While there is still some work to be done, JCS is open for business and we hope you will come and visit us in our idyllic ocean-side location.

JCS is moving !!!

I have just been notified that the sim where I have my main store is being sold. This news came as quite a shock. Fortunately, one of my good friends has created a tropical paradise, and plans are now in the works for a move to a new region of unsurpassed natural beauty. I just hope that my new store is complete before I am evicted. Stay tuned for more news...
I was just notified that at 5pm on Friday July 25th 2008, my Main Store will be razed to the ground. Hopefully, hopefully, my new location will be ready on Saturday...
