SUPERDENIM SMALL QUESTIONS THREAD (Use instead of making new threads)
indigoeagle replied to minya's topic in superdenim
Alright. You know, that they fit small, right? At least for the 20s jacket my 48 fits more like a 44. -
Nice combination of colours. Also the LW linemans (I guess) match well.
-
If it's O/W isn't the remaining shrinkage rather negligible? I mean the fades would just move a tiny bit, no?
-
Not sure, which size you need or which country you'd like to buy from. It's available in a number of sizes in this Japanese shop.
-
Has anyone got experience with the Dapper's or Cushman 50s sneakers? Looks like some are/were made in Taiwan, but some also in Japan.

Has anyone used the Blackship proxy service yet? (Just saw: "From the creators of Japan Rabbit.") -

This is their shop page: https://www.e-cream.jp/ Rakuten: https://www.rakuten.co.jp/auc-cream-r/ You can write them an inquire message here: https://www.e-cream.jp/login/inquiryedit -
Very nice. Aren't they N/W, so they should shrink quite a bit. Which size did you choose?
-
48 sounds right. I als wear a L in the Detroit and I have the 20s jacket in 48. Not sure about the other jackets but they're probably similarly sized. With TCB it's better to size up when one is not sure, is my experience.

Nice, love Crete. I think, the Raki there is more like Grappa. The Turkish Raki is like Ouzo or Pastis, Pernod. They are very friendly there and one gets offered Raki all the time. The food can be a bit heavy (if you have say an anticristo) and the Raki makes it surprisingly easy to digest. You got to try some sheep or goat ice cream. And try the Mastica taste, kind of special. There is also a mineral water infused with Mastica (supposed to be good for the stomach). I really like Rethimno. Perhaps an idea. Also, if you have the time- go to Spili. Nice chill town. Nearby is a herb garden and store with a restaurant. Amazing stuff like Mountain tea and salad herbs and much more. From Spili you can go to Preveli beach. In Chania I remember a nice old cafe/bistro near the fountain in the center of town. Perhaps you've been there already. Enjoy your trip

FromJapan or ZenM shouldn't be a problem. And you still have the de minimis for a few weeks, no?

I offered a pair of jeans to a friend a few years ago, but he didn't like them. There are not many maniacs like us. -
No cigarette?

Has anyone from the EU sold something on grailed recently? I've sold a few items there over the years. Friendly buyers. But the fees were very complicated and added up to something like 15-25%. Ebay is for free at the moment. If you have sold something, how much was subtracted from the sales price? They're writing 9% commission and 4.99% payment fee- 14%. Quite a bit. I think, it was even more. Any other idea where to sell items that we're talking about here besides StyleForum (sold a bit there), reddit rawdenim, TFL (never sold anything there), IH forum (sold a bit there)? -
I think, there a lots of videos, articles and discussions on luxury goods, that state that they were "made in Italy" or "Swiss made". Apparently sometimes whole suits were made abroad except for the buttons, which were then finished in Italy and that was still enough to call them "made in Italy". But what if the act of attaching the buttons in Italy is more expensive than sewing the suit somewhere else, so that part would be more than 50% of the cost of manufacturing?
-
In that discussion anothers case gets alluded to. Amazing in many ways. https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2021/07/13/richard-hajjar-bianca-de-la-garza-alden/

Yes, interesting fact. They're writing, that 9oz in the old linear yard standard equals 11.6oz in loomstate and 12.75oz once sanforized. So the 10oz that is on the Levi's labels would translate to 12.9oz and 14.17oz resp..

Great boots

Actually I have the 1101 in XX and the 0105 in the 13.7oz. The back rise isn't as high with the 1101 and the leg isn't as wide. But it's still a pretty relaxed fit. It's a bit similar to the Denime Lot220A, but the front rise is a bit lower and the leg a bit wider.

The denim of the gardener is really dark. The SC45's denim is quite dark already, but in the direct comparison the Gardener is even darker. Or is it more due to the fading or light?
-
I've also made that experience. I got both the 0501 and the 1101 in 34. Comfy fit with both. Having heard that the Smooth ones fit large I got the 0501 in 33. But somehow they were different. So I returned them and got the 1101 in 33 instead and am happy with them.
-
I understand.
-
Any hints on what will be released in terms of jeans and denim jackets?
-
No, sure. Good idea. I had been thinking that myself a few times. When I had made the thread, I didn't know about that.

Yes, the Ueki one is perfect. It also depends on which side you cover. In the pic above you can see the left side. But don't the tabs something roll up, so that the right part is shown? Perhaps then it's closer to the original template.
