  1. Hey everyone, I was wondering if any can help me find a Men's Winter Parka. I don't want anything too big and bulky. I am currently looking at the Woolrich Arctic Jacket.

    You can look at it at www.woolrich.com

    go to men's coats and click on the Woolrich Arctic Jacket.

    I am looking for a warm water resistant/waterproof parka that isn't 3/4 length. Something that stops at the waist would be fine. Also I want the faux fur trim on the hood. If you have any suggestions please reply.

    Thanks

  2. Hey everyone. I was interested in getting the S510XX19ozll Samurai jeans after I saw the pair on the BIG homepage. I was just wondering how much does the inseam shrink after multiple washes? I wear a 30L 34w regularly. What length would be good to have them hemmed to? Also, I am currently breaking in a pair of nudie regular ralf dry selvage jeans, and I like the fit on those. What pair of Samurai's would have a fit that is similar to the nudie rr ds?

    Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  3. Hey everyone. I guess this would be one of the best threads to ask these questions since you guys know alot about samurai jeans.

  5. those two seem like a rather random combination..if you dont mind my asking, do you have relatives currently working in Dubai? alot of filipinos nurses and otherwise seem to go there for contract work before eventually making their way to the states..

    i'm actually heading to manila around the same time you are, I'm going to boracay, firs ttime for me going to A beach in the philippines although this is my 4th time there. i'm sure others have better suggestions as alot of people say its gotten a bit too commercialized, but thats fine by me...

    do a search theres a couple threads on manila..

    and check out this thread..

    Actually my Mom works for the United Nations, and she is currently working in Asia. She recommended Emirates Airlines and also suggested that since Emirates Airlines has a connection between New York and Manila, that we stay in Dubai before going back to N.Y.

    This will be my thrid time going to the Philippines. I have family in Manila. The last time I was there i was seven years ago, so I didn't get to go clubbing and do those type of things. I did get to go to Boracay the last time I was there, but I wanted to know if there are any other places that might be better.

    How are the prices for designer clothes in the malls in Manila?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do in Dubai?

  6. I'm going to be in the Philippines, mostly in Manila Jan. 3rd-15th. and Dubai, United Arab Emirates Jan. 16th-20th. 2007

    Can anyone tell me where I shoud go site seeing, shopping, clubbing, and swimming/tanning in Manila and in Dubai? I know there are no beaches to go to in Manila, but can you guys suggest good beaches in the Philippines, as well as in Dubai.

    Thanks :)

  7. Well, there are no licensed resellers of Bape other than a VERY small selection of boutiques (Union, etc.) and I sincerely doubt there is one in Dubai or the Phillipines. Thus, the non-licensed retailers usually pay retail price, have the item shipped to them by some third party (who gets a commission) and then markup the item 25-50% themselves.

    I would sincerely recommend that you look at some online stores as I know from having lived in the Middle East that the markup on foreign clothing items/brands is outrageous; particularly goods that are expensive or "luxury" to start with. Dubai is a rich adults playground; nothing is cheap. Try Rakuten or Yahoo Japan....or ask 2000db to check the Bape store for you personally. He charges a reasonable commission and will sell you anything they have in stock.

    Yeah I heard that Dubai is expensive and extravagant. I just want to see what its all about on my way back to Nyc from Manila. I actually want to snowboard in the indoor ski resort that they have in the middle of the desert. I think that's something you don't see everyday.

    englandmj7 what country in the middle east did you live in? Also since you said that foreign brands are marked up in the middle east, that means that the evisu jeans sold in the evisu store in Dubai will be marked up drastically? How much more would you say than the prices in japan and in nyc.

    As for the bape hoodie, I think that I won't even bother looking for it in the Philippines or in Dubai. I'll just wait for the nyc store to get some in.

    Who is 2000db? what bape store does 200db work in?

    Thanks for your help

  8. Does anyone have any recomendations on what to do and see in Manila, Philippines and for Dubai, United Arab Emirates. What are some good clubs in both cities? What are some good places to shop? If anyone knows holla back.

    thanks

  9. The Bape store in NYC sold out of hoodies and they don't know when they will be getting more in.

    As for Evisu, I don't like the European edition.

    The selection at retailers in the U.S. that carry evisu can't compare to the selection of an actual evisu store. I'm looking for the evisu ltd edition hank-dyed indigo jeans. I doubt i can find those anywhere in the U.S.

    I appreciate your reccomendations though.

    thanks

  10. Hey everyone this is actually my first post on supertalk. I'm actually excited! :)

    I am going to the Philippines via Dubai January 2007. I will be staying in Dubai which is in United Arab Emirates for a few days before i return to New York from the Philippines. While in Dubai I most likely will pick up a pair of Evisu jeans from the Evisu store in the Ibn Battuta Mall in Duabi.

    However, I want to try and find a Bape camoflauge hoodie sometime on my vacation. Does anyone know where i can find a real Bape hoodies either in the Philippines or in Dubai? Also, let me know of any hot spots to go to in Dubai or Manila in terms of clubs and clothing stores if you guys know of any.

    It's unfortunate that I didn't stop in Japan on the way to the Philippines. The next time I go to the Philippines I will definetly stop in Japan. Also, does anyone know where Greedy Genius makes their sneakers?

    Thanks!
