Hey guys. I bought this jacket a while back from a member here. Originally I had bought the same jacket from oki-ni when it first went up for sale there, but it was the wrong size for me. This jacket is in near-mint condition. I've photographed the only imperfection I could find, but it hasn't been worn more than a few times. It's actually pretty damned warm, so in SoCal the weather doesn't often call for it. I believe this is from the Autumn/Winter 07 line.

(this is not a tear. The metallic blue coating seems to have worn away in this spot. If I remember correctly this is the way it was received from the seller on here. Back of left sleeve, inch or so long)

Asking $320 shipped within CONUS or best offer. Retailed at $500+, and in near-new condition. Post here or PM.

tropin, nice to see someone else shooting this style around here... [although i have tried to move away from that style, i still love it]

and nice haha shooting with the hasselblad and the rz67... i am always conflicted about whether or not to plunk down the money for an rb/rz but i think i just need to take more photos and not worry about equipment because i think all lenses are capable of amazing photos, especially in ample light

thanks man, have you got any work online? i actually just got the rz67 and it's definitely a beast. but the 500c/m is my workhorse and serves me perfectly for most purposes. love that camera.

Why thank you. Here's my flickr: streetwave

Another bump for good seller and very quick overseas shipping! Thanks!

Hey guys. I bought this Margiela piece in November 2007 from oki-ni. According to a past topic in this forum, the original price was £325. The jacket has been worn only a couple of times since then, spending the rest of the time safely tucked away.I've got the original oki-ni laundry bag and hanger that it came with, as well as the tags. It's in very good condition other than a couple of tiny things that I noticed, which will be shown in pictures.

The slight imperfections seem to be unique to those two areas. I have found nothing else and the "body" is absolutely flawless.

tem description (I think this is from oki-ni):

The lightly padded zip up jacket features contrast white topstiching, two patch pockets, one inside pocket and fine knitted rib hem & cuffs.

The jacket has a black lining with the inside of the collar in faux black sheepskin.

It's a size 50-Large, and it is slim fit. I'm of average build and it fits perfectly.

SIZE 50

Chest 23"

Arm Pit to Cuff 22"

Collar to Waist 25.5"

JACKET IS SOLD.

Thanks!

In the morning I received a reply from the DHL jerk I had been talking to, telling me that the information I supplied him was literally worthless because Oki-Ni supplied the manufacturer as being in Hong Kong, while I said it is in Italy. He then told me that the package would be returned to the UK today, and that I should go to the Customs website (I believe it was) and read up on the several rules required of an "importer" like myself.

I called him later in the morning, and spoke to him for what he made seem like hours (biggest jerk on the face of the Earth). He contradicts himself all the time, and says things that seem absolutely false. I then called Customs and talked to a man who said I was not considered an "importer", and basically disagreed with everything I told him the DHL guy had told me. He told me to get the Air Waybill and Housebill numbers and he'd try to personally correct the issue.

Then I called the jerk back and argued with him for a while longer until I asked him for the numbers and he transferred me without a word to a much nicer, much more knowledgeable lady. After a while I convinced her to fix the issue, and she said that the package is now waiting to be released by Customs. Hopefully this is the end of it.

By the way, Oki-Ni did send me a message. Apparently they weren't open on the weekend, and they told me they'd forward my message to the director who would hopefully be able to help. I still think they should have done things right from the beginning of course, but at least they did respond.

Oh okay, thanks. Hopefully that'll work, I'll just try and get the rest of the details just in case, but otherwise I'll give them what I have.

I called oki-ni and got no answer and they didn't answer my e-mail, which I clearly labeled as urgent regarding my order. It was definitely their responsibility, and if I hadn't known of someone on this forum that owned the jacket themselves, I probably never would have found out the fabric details, and it'd be an even bigger mess. I expect a website that is 100% online and says it ships internationally to take some responsibility when it comes to this sort of thing.

Still no contact at all from oki-ni. I did, however, contact one of the members of this forum that owns the jacket by private message, and he gave me most of the fabric breakdown. I do think that DHL/Customs will probably be very picky and want every little detail though, so I've asked him if he could give me the other little details just in case.

I also called the MMM store today, and while they did not help with the fabric breakdown part, they told me that the jacket is manufactured in Italy and gave me the name of the company. That's another one of the pieces of information I needed - the manufacturer's name - although DHL asked me for its name in Hong Kong which is not where it was produced. I think maybe this has something to do with the MMM store in HK, but I have no idea why.

As far as it being knit or woven goes, can anyone clear that up? The guy from MMM said that it's neither knit or woven and that it's "cut from a line" or something. Is this true? I'm just wondering what I should tell DHL.

since time is an issue, why don't you call oki-ni directly??????

I will, but there has been no reasonable hour to call today. I'll call early tomorrow, but I'm just trying to find out what to do in case they do not answer.

Hi guys. I bought one Martin Margiela Nylon Shiny Effect Bomber Jacket from Oki-ni on the 25th of Dec. and they despatched it on the 4th via DHL. It got to DHL's Los Angeles facility the next day and has been sitting there for the whole week.

Today a DHL customs rep called today and said they're examining the jacket and they need to know all sorts of details about it (fabric breakdown by %, woven or knit, gender, name of manufacturer in Hong Kong) and they say they've tried contacting oki-ni but haven't gotten a response. If i don't get the information by MONDAY, it'll be seized and i'll be forced to pay storage until it's resolved, which i don't even know when that would be.

I've sent oki-ni an email asking them for the information, but I don't know if I'll get in a response in time. I'm just wondering what I should do, I literally have no idea. Right now I'm just hoping oki-ni even has the information, as it seems they should.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I imagine the jacket said "Made in Hong Kong" or something on it, and that's why DHL asked for the manufacturer's name in HK. So would that simply be "Maison Martin Margiela"? I know he's got a store in HK at least.

mainly it's too expensive. if anyone could find something like that for less money, it'd be perfect.

If anyone could find something a little closer to the bomber-style jacket he's wearing, I'd really appreciate it. By the way, the colour is French Blue, but it looks almost black in that picture.
