    What do people tend to do with sharp rivets in jeans? I recently bought a new pair and the rivets around the pockets are scratching my pampered hands.

    Assuming you meant Buyee, I had a similar problem about a year ago. I asked Buyee at the time and this was their response: “Regarding the error you have experienced, we have confirmed the reason and unfortunately Buyee can not purchase this item from the seller since this item belongs to a new Yahoo! JAPAN Auction's purchase function. For future bids/purchases in Yahoo! JAPAN Auction, please refer below to how to confirm which items can not be purchased at the moment: 1. The Buyee page shows "Win now for Buyout price". 2. You click on "View on Yahoo! JAPAN Auction",　if the orange button in the Yahoo page reads: 購入手続きへ (Proceed to ordering) It means is an item that is not available for purchase on the Yahoo! JAPAN Auction site We are working on implementing this new purchase method on our Yahoo! auction system. However, at the moment, we are unable to confirm when this will be available in Yahoo! Auction.”

    @AlientoyWorkmachine I like those trousers. Are they this model: https://debonnefacture.fr/collections/trousers-shorts/products/balloon-trousers-heavy-cotton-drill-brown-24 ?

    That’s a Tender-esque dye job on the Uplander shirt. Looks super.

    I don't know if Australian brand Man-tle is on anyone's radar, but they recently posted a fascinating video to instagram showing how Buaisou dye their shirts: https://www.instagram.com/mantle_official/reel/C9zFwsWP6OL/?hl=en As an aside, I discovered Man-tle via Blackbird Spyplane, which I discovered, in turn, through a recommendation on here somewhere. I've got a jacket, a couple of shirts and several hats from them now, which I really enjoy.

    I have quite wide feet and I didn’t really get on with the M-43s. I wear a UK7 in Trickers. I tried a US7.5 in the M-43 from East West Apparel (EWA recommend taking your UK size in the M-43, broadly speaking) and found they were too narrow and a bit long. I’m not sure if that’s helpful at all - it obviously depends on your foot shape. They are gorgeous boots!

    I think the idea is that for items under £135, the retailer is supposed to collect VAT at the point of sale and send it on to the UK government. For items over that amount, VAT and duties (£135 is the cut-off for duty) are collected at the border instead (i.e. via your courier). So if your Japanese retailer doesn't collect VAT on an item under £135 (which in my experience, they don't), it won't be collected further down the line either. But I'm no expert, this is just what I understand to be the case and it tallies with my experience. There's some helpful info here: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/jan/21/eu-website-purchases-the-import-charges-uk-customers-have-to-pay

    @Double 0 Soul You’ll only pay VAT and duty on parcels entering the UK if the value is over £135.

    Thanks Julian. For the sake of clarity, I present my navel. Enjoy.

    This is what I mean. I appreciate that this is a feature, not a bug. We all know that denim twists when you wash it. The effect in the top block just seems more accentuated in these jeans. This is the first time I’ve posted a picture of my crotch to the internet (that I’m willing to admit to).

    Of the twist?
