Hatful of Hallow

@ the HK trunk show, the damaged moleskin minie hunting jacket was clear cut winner imo - seemed like everyone there picked that joint up.  Personally was not a huge fan of any of the shoes being release except the decoy duck book which ill pick up when released. Since i have yet to get a PFD, i pre-order the nat dye one (dk mud) which i am stoked about.  Also picked up the navy caravan which is slub cord ranch style jacket similar to boiler jacket minus the $$ - this cord jacket was another hit with most people there at show most likely due to good price point. Another solid pc imo was the gortex chinook parka in olive which i picked up as well.  The one Item that i wish I could fit in (and afford) was the Natural dyed Cowichan FZ - just insane looking

can anyone help ID this number (n)ine hat (year/name) - I came up on this hat via yahoo auction JP but not much info was given (used - no box).  inside is grosgrain with printed label hand tacked down with white thread, looks to be preacher hat but not the rabbit version, maybe felt ?  any info would be apprecaited

what colour is the virgils in this picture?

anyway do you guys think dark brown or light brown is nicer for the virils kngr. also the way the age. cause i cant really tell the difference from pictures. maybe some of you guys can give some advice as i have seen some pretty sweet looking virgils from you guys. thanks!!

Lt. Brown - i picked up a pair in this color way, love them - IMO these are the best ones. Go to Human Behaviour HK webstore and you'll see they have real pics of each so you can get some idea of coloring. The lighter ones will age with more highs and lows. I think the browns look good but too flat. Anyhow - good luck, you cant go wrong with the Virgil boots

^ F.I.L. Detroit over here ^

^ V I S M A S Time again - nice shitz as always

^Word Seven, I'd like to think the Jaimaster and Mayer-San would try to bring it as well - but I'd rock that shit, no problemo

Yo BTW have a great time in HK

It's all good V & EX - I take it your not down for their upcoming trunk show ? I hear they are trying to get John M there to perform

If you need to get at me, do it elsewhere. I don't frequent this place as much since I get most of my info from hiroki's right hand man, master. And for those whom 'neg' rep me, whatever

Blah blah blah ...

@chapuchi FIL no.1 and Amber are unreal....

cosign on this - just picked up No.1 room spray last month which strange enough was a tough find in Japan (none in HK FIL's)

great scent, i sometimes even wear it

Question, does anyone know the measurements for this f/w 101 jacket? I'm 6'6 and trying to figure out if I need a size 4. The tall guy on tresbien's website seems to fit ina 3, just wondering if the leap from 3 to 4 is significant or not..

I'm a solid 4 @ 6'2" 195lbs, this tresbien dude is same height as me just thinner. And if your tall and lanky than i'd be concern with overall length and short sleeves if look at the fit of a 3 on him sleeves are short IMO

I am waiting for a 4 to arrive in the 101, id be happy to share measurements once it arrives in 1-2 weeks

Don't be so quick to dismiss it.... there's beauty in repetition. Beauty in repetition. Beauty in repetition.

Try walking a mile in his shoes....

Jake, maybe its you that needs to walk a mile in our shoes

And FYI - repetition is just that - repetitive (boring, much like that article)

Collection is average at best

Ruco - your infantry pants look dope, good call on color too. I hope to pick up a pair while traveling next week and maybe the new HW Grey HW chinos.

Vinneus - So you bumped up to size 2 or 3 now in order to layer? These noragis are cool as sh!t but man if you like to bend your arms beware . I love my linen/cotton noragi but it's way tight on my biceps and that's wearing a 4. I also have it in the Luxsic fabric too and sleeves are even tighter there. It seems on these noragis the sleeves stood same width only the body got wider as they graded higher. Plus they used French seams to construct so make it hard to tke out and/or stretch.

I'm using when I can (damn hot in NY) the sanjuro for layering. Even though it's longer, there is more room to play with especially since I'm taller and broader on the shoulders. I just ordered from HB HK the new FIL exclusive in DK Brown, hoping this guy comes through. Maybe you could try this guy or SK - and Juno at Bidservice has been good to me in past. I don't know what's up with hide-san.

PS I was told that this new FIL kimono may not be the corduroy one anybody else can confirm this ?

Yo Master - your killing it with all the knowledge here, if ever in NYC hit me up

* iPhone suck for posting on these threads

Are http://head-porter.org/home.htm and http://www.humanbehaviour.com.hk/ both legit sites for purchasing visvim products?

If im 5'10 should i go with a 3 or 4 with the noragi?

I recommend a size 3 - I am 6'2" 195 and wear a 4

I neither love it nor hate it - mostly don't understand it.... but to each their own. Good luck, I hope that the artist at least gives you a signed letter of authenticity.

Master, do yourself a favor and buy vintage. 3k is insane cash for handmade necklace unless vintage or made by a well known native American artist. (1500/ea what have you)

I too <back in the day> would have loved to grab a Vis one to but with a little work and trip to brimfield flea market last year I found a hand stung 1930's for $100. I recently picked another one up this year that I'll restring myself for $50 bucks and it's at least from 50-60's.

There's some good vintage najavo necklaces out there, even on eBay right now. Even at RRL or RL stores they sell vintage for around the same price but at least you know it's vintage and legit.

Hell even until I found these I went to look for my own beads and handmade a few myself for me and friends for under 40 bucks even if turquoise was not A grade I'll still rocked it hard and NO one knew any better

At end of day it's your cash - good luck

big dot in navy sold out in LA too as of today... white's cool too though

Missed the online drop, arrived late Friday night from overseas and swung by Supreme NY. They have XL in the Navy Big Dot, copped, Didn't really ask for other sizes, but seemed that they had few more + the other colors. Agree, the white big dot was fresh as well

No Floral Polo's left, but they did have both Navy and Natural Floral Suede Camp Cap left but that was early in the day.

where do i get a short sleeve white oxford? long gone everywhere i assume.

Get at me if your a size L, I have a brand new one from maybe 2 seasons back - BNWT

^actually, BG buyers need to step their game up. If they didn't have any Vis at all - would you actually shop that store ? Don't hate the player, hate the game. I much rather buy overseas @ FIL stores, SS JP or HK resellers than BG.

As i stated above, I'm just getting back from HK. Respect to ddYLer!!!, F.I.L. Wan Chai, HB, Mr. SK for showing me some love while there. Cannot wait to return

Just got back from HK late last night... Breakfast at Peels, soon after while walking on Bowery I bumped into Hiroki-San himself. Introduced myself and my GF, we all spoke briefly about his collection and he mentioned he now living in NYC now, told him we need more large sizes . But overall that it was great to meet him, super chill.

Random NYC meeting - god I love this city --- great first day back home

Crazy new John Mayer Video....he's wearing mostly Visvim in entire video. Sorry to link - just hit mute and you'll be fine -- looks as if Hiroki styled this shot
