  1. These are supposedly LVC BIG E 1955 501XX. Can anyone verify?

    I'm a little confused by this pair... usually the model number on the garment tag indicates what year it's a repro of, i.e. 47501 or 55501

    but most of the other details seem ok. any bigger LVC heads wanna weigh in?

  2. for those of you with access to a Japanese Book Store:

    This month's issue of lightning has a long feature on repro sweats and their different features. Looked fantastic... may pick it up later today :)

  3. Have you tried Self Edge in SF? You always have the option to go directly through Samurai http://www.samurai-j.com/samurai/samurai_main.html and make the argument that nobody in teh US has them in size 30, and if they say no get a proxy to order them for you. Might even end up cheaper even with the 10-15% proxy fee.

    Selfedge doesn't sell Samurai... and I believe Samurai stopped selling overseas through their site. May have to be proxy.

  4. just noticed this (don't if it's old news)

    5ep just came out with the resin lowdown boot in non-selvedge:

    I'm guessing the denim is nearly identical to the selvedge version, but the fact that it's not selvedge means the price can drop (quite a bit in this case). It's a pretty good price point, too... maybe I will check it out when money magically floats into my pocket one of these days :)

  5. I like how the stuff I find on the 'Bay fits me from YSL... presumably since it can be had for so cheap, it's stuff from this period in the brand's history and hence "undesirable" by afficianados.

    However, I find that they cut a great, slimmer fitting shirt (I'm wearing a YSL pinstripe button down right now and I've been dying to find another on the 'Bay).
