mr.invincible

for those in the states, the currency is pretty good. What are you guys buying to take advantage of this? and where?

I am looking for:

1. Buzz Rickson/Toys Mccoy

2. Good quality tees

3. Visvim

4. Denim

5. anything else?

at the end of the day, im fine with it, it's just kind of weird and shady to send me something not advertised (unless i missed something in the google translate)

a couple of questions now:

1. bought a 33, usually a 31/32. just warmed washed these and it shrank quite a bit in the waist - will these stretch out quite a bit?

2. who are you guys using to proxy from the official evisu.jp site?

Well, there is the Tiger Selvedge and the Red Selvedge ones. Also both available at the official Evisu store (which has 30% off by the way).

From the description they advertised the Tiger Selvedge but the pictures show Tiger Selvedge in the slide gallery and the pictures below showed Red Selvedge.

Well, exchange is probably not possible?

unfortunately no. these were proxied and arrived in the states already. i just realized you posted the matterport link wit the 30%. im kicking myself for not ordering from there. i would have saved a lot

finally bought a pair of evisu no.1 from here: https://item.rakuten.co.jp/jeans-rock/10000000/

and was disappointed when i received them because the selvage was red and not the black/yellow as advertised. has this happened to anyone before ordering no.1?

There's still plenty of old stock available on 2ND, Denimio, and other Japanese retailers, but a couple years ago they rebranded and substantially toned down their classic details. I recently picked up pairs of S0510xx and S3000vx in protest.

Thanks, so far from what i have found, these are some of the websites that ship to the states without proxy. are there any others that im missing? they don't neccessarily have to stock samurai or ship to the states.

I don't know where are you located but did you try RL's homepage?

Located in NY. was looking for this: https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clothing-jeans/slim-fit-rigid-selvedge-jean/86417.html?dwvar_86417_colorname=Rigid&cgid=&webcat=recently%20viewed

i know stagprovisions carried them, but are out of stock.

what happened to rakuten?? im so out of the loop. trying to find places i can buy sugar cane from japan

would like to pick up some RRL raw denim, but it seems like they're sold out everywhere? anyone know a place that still has stock or did they stop producing them?

now that im working again, i have funds to buy japanese denim. It has been...maybe 8-9 years since ive been here?

do people still use proxy anymore?

or is denimio.com and oyaka denim the best place to buy japanese denim for US customers? 

Any recommendations for denim under $200?

whats up you dumb bitches!

wow superdenim heads keeping superfuture/supertalk alive. im impressed. makes me want to buy japanese denim again

remember when japan was the only country making legit denim?

now that 100000x other companies and other countries make denim is there a point for superfuture?

finally got into fragrances/cologne

picked up the basics:

ysl - l'homme 

dolce & gabbana - light blue

finally went to a Le labo store and bought a discovery set. really digging the noir 29 and bergamote 22. anybody know of similar scents but at a cheaper price point?

havent bought jeans for so long and havent checked up on how to acquire jeans.

originally i came across denimio and thought, wow, so much has changed and was going to buy some ONI's from there. the model i wanted was out of stock unfortunately-  huge bummer.

where else can i get Oni's/samurais without going through a proxy? 

trying to avoid BiG/selfedge for now. 

thanks, unfortunately I spoke too soon as they ran out of my size

might pull the trigger on some oni denim. 

does anyone have experience ordering from DENIMIO from the US?

Need to replace my unfitting APC Jeans and decided to go back to Japanese denim.

Has anyone used Denimio site before? are they legit?

bumping this vid now that we're all talkin bout the field OS

since owning it and wearing it for a while i would say the only correction in this video is that the shirt is actually both wind resistant AND air permeable, meaning it can't really let a breeze in from the outside. air at that velocity gets kinda blocked off, the permeability is mainly about dumping heat from slow moving air from your body inside out through the shirt. i dont think it works both ways in equal measure

whoa, i think ive seen you waiting for the 7 train

can someone recommend light water repellent pants for travelling? or is Outlier Slim Dungarees pretty much fits the bill?

i like that he wears a dodgers hat to legitimatize his whole FoG outfit. 

i like these very much

when is a good time to generally buy new bikes, like older models?

i bought my virgil boots used from a proxy and i gotta get new soles on them. Does anybody have any experience going through a shoe cobbler in NY or anywhere that can make it look like the original sole?
