    Yep this is true, this has been happening since they switched recently to Buyee for international orders, previously using the form, email and paypal method they'd remove the domestic tax Absolutely okay for them to focus on the home market of course, but it's frustrating and prooobably not good business to give everyone else a worse deal!

    So in summary - it's easier to navigate at least (though I kind of liked the old school site) And like any Shopify store, the checkout process seems easy enough, the full value will absolutely be declared if past experience is anything to go by. The only shipping option appears to be "standard" at 5k yen. https://warehouse-shop.jp/en

    I use FromJapan, but have also had (slightly more expensive) success with WorldShopping FromJapan just mirrors Mercari listings so you should be able to copy and paste the exact product listing title and it SHOULD appear.

    Warehouse's online store has temporarily closed and will reopen on a shopify platform on 26/06. Don't know what this will mean for garment and shipping costs to the rest of the world but I guess we'll see soon!

    Ha yeah this is absolutely the classic WH experience!

    They do get restocks now and again so you should be okay before long. I will say that the Warehouse DD-1001XX 47 is pretty good too and very similar in dimensions, which will also be out of stock I imagine but there you've got 2 solid options to seek out! EDIT: this one https://www.ware-house.co.jp/?pid=109364377 Apologies for posting a Warehouse pair in the Denime thread, but what's the difference these days I suppose!!!
  7. Alec Leamas
    My suggestion would be to go by measurements rather than tagged size, I have always found that I am a 34 in Warehouse / current Denime, whereas I am 32 in most other repro brands.

    Ahh man, that's a sad message. A life seemingly lived to the full, so a lot to celebrate. RIP.

    This is great! Beautiful pictures. Congratulations @julian-wolf

    100%! haha Having a couple of "technical issues" with my phone at the moment so can't share pics but I've got some progress on my 306 to share and also an almost brand new pair of 309, I'll post both here asap.
  11. Alec Leamas
    Yeah I have a few bits and pieces - open collar beige work shirt, utility cap, new open collar summer shirt, lot 309 indigo. It's a great collection this one!

    Sadly not, I can't put my incident down to an impressive girth.
  13. Alec Leamas
    Oh no way! I had this happen, but only on a 16oz pair that admittedly were a little wet to be unbuttoning (nonetheless, should not have happened). Wonder if there's something generally amiss with construction currently... Go on then - what pair have you got? I guess 147 or 161?
  14. Alec Leamas
    @smoothsailor this is correct - it was a (perfect condition, clearly never worn) used pair I found on FromJapan, believe it was a Mercari listing. The pair themselves originally came from Poker Face in Japan and they had the invoice etc in the box.
  15. Alec Leamas
    @smoothsailor I got stuck on this idea after talking about it earlier in the year. Watched Enemy of the State 3-4 times, really enjoyed it, and started pursuing a pair of the FDR's. Did a bit of research on the exact pair worn by Hackman and they were made by Regency Eyewear, which was an original Julius Tart brand. That has now been remade by Julius Tart Optical Enterprise in Japan and is the closest estimation to the original. There's Tart Optical too, US based and their frames are made in Italy - look nice ish but they're more expensive than the JP ones, and ever so slightly too modern looking for me. Anyway images below of Hackman's actual pair, from a movie prop collection, and my new pair in demi-amber. I picked mine up from FJ for a great price and had them reglazed here, for ~£45.

    Tee/cardigan/jacket layering is 🔥 here!!

    Looks like Vallgatan in Göteborg.. Man I miss that city. Spent so much time there growing up.
  18. Alec Leamas
    I like the look of the new US Army repro suit from TCB... https://tcbjeans.myshopify.com/products/catface-trousers-10-2oz The US Army denim trousers in particular!

    Love the look of these, and always wanted a pair with tail balls... 👀
  20. Alec Leamas
    Yeah, I totally understand why the price is as high as it is - it just completely prices me out at that point! You're right though the air miles on these will be crazy by the time a consumer in the US gets hold of a pair!
  21. Alec Leamas
    Anyone picking up the USA made "40's special" this weekend? I like the look of them but at that price it's a definite no. https://store.toyo-enterprise.co.jp/shopdetail/000000003387/
  22. Alec Leamas
    That's all huge! New house, new spouse, new child!
  23. Alec Leamas
    Yeah me too! They look really nice and actually - for a pair of made to order shoes, in that leather, it's a really good price - if your experience turns out positively I may well have to order a pair myself. I've been endlessly browsing second hand (ideally unused) pairs of leather Birks for months now
  24. Alec Leamas
    Oh really?! Haha, wow yeah I was way off! It was the brick wall in the garden that really fooled me!
  25. Alec Leamas
    Your recent location's looking decidedly British I must say!
