Has anyone tried the shearling deckhand as opposed to the sheepskin lined one? Debating between the two.

[ruco]

i'm sure the shearling is great but who could say no to this: http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4104/5131220816_99d9f13ec7_z.jpg

[akuma no uta]

Yeah, there's one on yjp in my size right now, 150k yen, no copping this week as I'm buying a car, maybe after Christmas if it's still around.

[ruco]

there's something about the fw10 sheep deckhand, the fur seems longer cut and lush. it almost looks like human hair. perhaps its a matter of age.

Anybody felt the picaro backpack? Hows the material? Worth the price tag?

I'm wondering why they haven't done the kangaroo lhamos again. Would kill for a pair.

I might be crazy for wanting this, but does anyone know where I can get the Visvim 10th Anniversary Book?

[akuma no uta]

Here you go. The actual construction of the cover for it is insane.

It is the classical japanese binding style. The only insane thing is the price.

[seenmy]

agree here, no way I would buy this without seeing the whole thing inc dvd content before,as its likely to be style over substance, the last dvd was really quite disappointing from a content perspective,as an object this has the potential to be fantastic but the content needs to be out of this world for the price

[winstonrodney...]

Other than the few pics of the hk blog posted several pages back does anybody have more pics for SS12 - esp samourai jackets and the boro style lhamo's (as seen on Diane Pernet's links?).

Also has anybody actually tried on Grizzlys and know if they're TTS? Thanks,

[akuma no uta]

Grizzlys run a bit narrow, but otherwise are true to size.

The boro hiroki has been wearing is a vintage one.

The ss12 kimonos are $25,000 I believe.

[winstonrodney...]

thanks on the grizzlys

You gotta be kidding ? even the most expensive vintage ones are only a couple of g max !!

[jwoowoo]

[emixam]

I think it depends, my Kiefer from FW08 are Made in China and my VisxSoph are made in Korea...

I mean, it's never a bad idea to try and cop for cheap. Let us know how it goes and you might have a nice proxy business

[Spaghettini]

visvim bag owners: felt some backpacks at union la but was severely turned off to find out they were made in china. anyone own the made in china bags? not trying to start a debate that im sure has been done again and again, i'm just genuinely concerned about the quality.

[akuma no uta]

I've just found aesthetic issues with a few bags, and now that they've abandoned elk leather the bottom holds up way better. I've never heard and issue with quality on them.

And remember kids, china 1. Has very lenient environmental laws considering plastic production, and 2. Possibly has some of the most advanced manufacturing factories on earth. They do kinda make 90% of shit sold world wide.

[emixam]

Akuma speaks the truth : you get the quality you paid for even in China. China has some very modern factories and invested by Chinese or foreigners (Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans for most of them) and yes quality can be better than in Europe or the US. But Western companies produce in China to get cheap prices and then complain about cheap quality....

Most of the made in China Japanese brands are better made/finished that their western counterparts for the same price level : most Japanese brands will send their own pattern makers and technicians on spot to control the production form the beginning (what European brands don't do : they only do final inspection).

anyone know the sizing for 101 social sculpture jacket? I think im a medium but all i can found online are L & XL ..

[Navigate Navigate]

price yom?

[ruco]

My ss09 ballistic 20l has taken a beating but you'd never know. It's sat in water, snow, cooked in the sun and kicked about. I don't know what kind of leather is used (horween maybe?) but it ages nicely.
