the saint laurent brand is whatever it is. it's no longer ysl, so might as well with marilyn mason.

one of the reasons why people are so disappointed is they were expecting hedi to have a fresh take on ysl and bring something new to the table, different from what tom and stefano did. they just werent expecting a rehash of dh. they're disappointed because it's not yves saint laurent anymore, it's just saint laurent by hedi.

saint laurent is very much like givenchy, in regards to targeting an entirely different and younger market, as vampyrvargfesten mentioned. what riccardo is doing at givenchy has very little to do with the heritage of the label. hedi seems to be following similar footsteps with the rebranding of saint laurent.

Exactly this. If all this was done under the aegis of an Hedi Slimane label, I doubt the uproar would be as bad. Well, his diva behaviour and anti-press antics didn't help, and that was even before the show. Still, word is the collections are selling well.

Have the FW 2010 LS shirt in a purple to pink gradient, new unused (might still even have the tags).

edit: Just realized you're looking for the sweatshirt, but I have the button down. Ack!

Have the Tank pants in 44, from FW2008, used. They're the wool pants that went with the Himalaya vest, nice heavy melton. PM me if interested.

- Cloak F/W 04' Flight

I may consider selling the M65, its a bit too long for my taste .

Mind if I ask how much you paid for that grail?

Made a UK purchase from a shop that didn't ship to the US, and Tom from Sharp Service UK was every bit as quick and helpful as his Nippon-based counterparts. And at a better rate than other UK proxies here!

Another smooth, effortless transaction from Hide-san, Nobu-san, and Kyohei-san. What was even more notable this time was I was looking at a product that had questionable quality, but I really was drawn to it; after showing it to Hide-san, he confirmed I would not be happy with the quality and advised me not to take it and save my money. If that's not looking after my welfare, I don't know what is! Thanks again to Sharp Service!

so i asked this in the small questions thread and never got an answer...figured i might have better luck in here:

yahoo japan related question...

how the hell do I get the search to display the most recently posted items for sale?

on eBay it's as easy as "Time: Newly Listed " but the damn yahoo japan has had me stumped for years now!

Carl, I took a look at Yahoo Japan and the pull-down menu on the upper left side of the auction items has the option third from the bottom for "Longest Time Remaining" (which is what Google translate translated it into) which is the closest to "newly listed."

Two more orders, one from a store with no online ecommerce and my priciest Japanese purchase yet, but a smooth and quick transaction and delivery as always! Thanks, Hide-san, Nobu-san!

Yet another easy and quick transaction courtesy of Sharp Service. Thanks Hide-san and Nobu-san!

Hi Hide-san and Nobu-san, can SSJ accept credit cards through Paypal, or does payment have to be made by bank transfer (through Paypal)?

I've used both with Paypal to make payments (and not just to Sharp Service). It doesn't really matter to the recipient what the source is, but it will matter to you, as credit cards will often lump their own fees upon the Paypal fees. It's an option if you don't have the cash on hand from your bank, but just be aware or inquire from your credit card what the additional costs might be. The last time I did so, I was surprised at how high the final total was.

Got my 3rd delivery of the season from Sharp Service delivered today, and everything was perfect. I don't see a reason to use anyone else!

From tomorrow 26th January there will be announcement for all clients!

Please keep in touch on threads

Thanks!

What was the announcement supposed to be? It's a few days later now with no word. I'm curious.

Free bump. Someone nab those Gellers! Those moleskine pants are my go-to pants again this season: with everyone doing sweatpants this season, they were especially relevant again, but the material (which fits slimmer than they appear on a hanger) gives them more body.

An item I wanted took too long to receive from the seller, so Hide-san took care of canceling it and then applying my balance to another purchase, which arrived promptly. They seemed to be really busy this past season but it's always nice to know that in the end, Sharp Service is reliable. Looking forward to my next successful transaction!

Has anyone had any experience with the indigo fullcount denim pants? Just wondering how slim they fit and if they are tts. Dont want to fork out on shipping for them to not fit well

Are you talking about the pleated ones? I love them. The fit is really slim from the knees down since they're tapered. The pleats add some fullness on top, of course, but they're not baggy or carrot fit or anything.

Hide-san refunded my money immediately after a store in Japan didn't follow through on the delivery. Always makes me confident about using SharpService to purchase from Japan. Truly a reliable service!

Domo, Hide-san!

stopped by nomad the other day,

the grey linen jacket was awesome. colour looks incredible and the linen feels great. will cop if by some chance it makes it to sale season.

It's amazing - I have been wearing it as a suit with the easy linen pants, in both black and grey - it's got kind of an 80s Yohji vibe.

Joey, how would you say the fitting of the shirts is compared to past seasons? about the same? larger? slimmer?

Just trying to get an idea of whether I should invest in more.

I would say the same. I am a 46 in Dior and most brands, but I tried on all the shirts I wanted and the 48s fit me perfectly, as all the 48s I've owned since Geller worked with Cloak.

Videos of the show here.

I'd like to find the boots he did for the F/W season in black size 9 to 10

and any jewelry

Thanks for the help!

I've got a necklace. I barely wear it so I might as well sell it.

he meant it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

That's what I meant. Sorry for the typo - too busy cutting and pasting.

Announced this afternoon. Click here for article on GQ.com.

Yay, Robert. Couldn't happen to a nice guy.

Thanks for the compliment - I may end up doing that if no one wants it. I just figured I'd open up some space in my closet for the inevitable Geller additions...!

Price reduced to $660
