    Very much agree, plus Grailed fees are higher iirc. of course - our community sales thread is the best option imo.
  2. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    @Broark yup! I thought you were referring to the suspender buttons. Now it makes much more sense.
  3. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    I only ever did the opposite. Will you be wearing these with suspenders?

    Ah, welcome to the world of curbing in the craziness. I think most of us are at the same place. I highly suspect this is why this forum exists in the first place… A few years back I guided a group of Japanese tourist at a reserve where I used to work. The whole fucking day I had to curb down intrusive thoughts about telling them how my jeans are made in Okayama (was wearing tcb 20s at the time) and lecture them about the fades. I think I sign on here that same week

    Can’t it be both @Double 0 Soul? looks like a lot of fun

    In the spirit of books mentioning outfits - an interesting description from American Prometheus, Robert Oppenheimer’s biography about his outfit in the early 1930s. I wish they included a picture. The belt was also included as part of his outfits in the Oppenheimer film, and so wash the grey suit with denim shirt. What I find interesting though is that he wore faded blue jeans, at a time long before denim turned into a fashion choice rather than a workwear.

    please let us know how it goes. I know that I will be interested to see if the cost is still lower after fees & shipping, and will for sure try to order from Japan with my next purchase.
  8. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    @Thicolas Rage up until the very moment I read your post and was not aware of the prices in Japan I was extremely happy with the price I paid for the shirt I bought from them. It was 150$. Now I see it’s 12,000 jpy 🥲 edit: to the point - I assume proxy services like fromjapan and the like, that allow for ordering directly via url will have no problem here.

    Gotcha. So, the only piece of viable info in that sense that I can add is that a few years ago a friend of mine order a pair of unmarked boots from Mexico for around 400$ (can get charged from any value above 75$) or so, and was not charged our 18% local tax and other duties (around 12% as well) because we had a free trade agreement with Mexico at the time.

    @Double 0 Soul it’s still unclear to me if this is the 10% internal tax in Japan that is deducted or refers to import tax at the receiving country. with proxy services I think it’s very hard to avoid the internal 10%, since the transaction occurs between two Japanese entities.
  11. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    Enjoy it! Looks good. I had no idea Denimio is still operating.
  12. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    Fuck no. I couldn’t care less. moreover - I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t explicitly mentioned it.
  13. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    I don’t mind the crease with non denim pants. I think it looks bad with denim and even worse is the fading it creates.
  14. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    @ATWM what CSL said, + how was the learning curve? How long did it take before you could sustainably pull a good shot?
  15. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    Somehow missed this. What I meant is that local skating brands and some “post” skating brands (which is what I call brands that are created by people that used to skate but are now in their 30s or more) have started to offer pleated khakis, rugby and polo shirts, loafers, etc. not like suits or anything alike.
  16. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    I love rainy days. walking along the train tracks Barbour Beaufort, dirty Belafonte and bean boots Were in a relatively sandy terrain area, I love the different patterns that appear in sand after the rain
  17. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    @Double 0 Soul this has been very informative. Not to encourage any more buying but can I ask why don’t you use overalls/coveralls, over your day to days clothes?
  18. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    You’ve been out of the loop for too long.
  19. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    @Double 0 Soul well, looks like I’m going to be that idiot that everybody remembered spelled mercari wrong for 8 years. It cannot be helped.
  20. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    I was today years old (and about 8 years since I started purchasing via proxy services from Japan) when I realized it mercari and not mer-i-cari. 🤦‍♂️ am I the only one?
  21. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    Personally we have a dryer because of baby clothes and the need for them to be dried quickly. Also the lack of time to hang dry 2 billion tiny items of clothes that fit in one machine 😅 i have used a dryer to shrink denim before, but I’m not one to really ever care about creasing marks. I know that flipping inside out can help.
  22. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    It’s funny how in places that don’t have prep school and ivy at all (like in here) , the style of Ivy morphed into the punk rock, skateboarding veterans scene. Weird how fashion works.
  23. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    Sort of the same. I sort of like the look but I can never wear high heeled shoes or chunky soles. And I hate arch support. I find all of those extremely uncomfortable. I do however think they go very well with the outfits in the film.
  24. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    @SLAYER looks good! Any idea what happened in the wash to cause that? and what did you use to overdye?
  25. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    Oh yeah. It’s a rough watch in that sense. Especially as a dad of a daughter of that same age. Btw - turns out whites built a special model for the film. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRCrYepkYn1/?igsh=MWkwaG01bTc0c3J2Mw==
