^ how much are they going for again?

around 74000yen

[proteus]

just curious, has anyone had the elk rivet tab from their shirts go hard on them after a wash? wondering if some pecards/obenaufs will fix it.

The rivets on all my old becher shirts have gone all hard too.

[undercover73]

This is only happens if you wash on too high a temperature. Best too hand wash only as well

[stadsvandringar]

I've also had them go hard after dry cleaning. Those things are sensitive.

[undercover73]

Most of the stuff says not to dry clean but to hand wash.

I still have a Nomad, Black Elk & a henley for sale if anyone is interested

[blackiceblaze]

Dark brown Bearfoot Lhamos, size 10 anyone?

I never wear them..

[MatBoy]

my bad, got them switched... still would appreciate an informed opinion whether the the matterhorns are essentially a non folk whymper. not that i have a problem with non folk visvim (still loving my serras) but would help guide any purchasing decisions

If by folk, you mean "hand sewn goodyear welt", yes i think they are. the shoe and sole are sewn together for sure, but i don't know if an adhesive has also been used. There's some pics on my sale post:http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=252411

I've bought the Eiger folk and will receive them in a few days, so hopefully i'll be able to tell you what the differences are!

[adnarim]

anybody have black/brown logans size 8.5-9 forsale? really need a pair!

[NeGeurra]

All 73 folks natural/beige sold out on release date. bummer… pm if anyone finds one is us8. paying good price for em.

This might be unrelated but what is size are thom browne shirts if you wear a visvim medium? I got measurements for tb shirts but they are confusing when compared to visvim which im assuming is the difference in cut.

im wearing size s for the shirts and sz 2 for tb. tb fits slimmer and longer tho

Just found an interesting Japanese site:

[Yardsale]

socks are optional, but frowned upon.

Does anybody here own the highwater chino?

I am not sure how these are supposed to fit. Medium fits, but very snug. It looks waay too shrunken for my size. Large fits loose around the waist. I have to cinch up the waist to the max/ wear a belt to make it fit properly. I think the length is perfect as it falls right on top of my ankles. Is it ok to wear this a little baggy?

I am about 5'10, 165 pounds if that matters at all.

[Appleseed]

Think everyone has a pair of highwaters.

IMO, they are cut for taller folks. I'm closer to 5'9, 140. Have a pair in medium, and they are slim in the thighs (biking) but I have to cinch in the waist. The hem ends up falling a bit above my ankle. In most of the Visvim lookbooks you see the models with pencil thin legs and the highwater's length ending way up the shin. In my mind their build is closer to 6'x, 130, wearing medium.

It's up to you if you want them a bit baggy. Personally, I'd rather they have a bit shorter inseam. (but that's why they sell Higherwater Chinos)

[NeGeurra]

Stick to medium. I personally wouldn't like the look of a baggy high water.

[lsw]

Thanks for the feedback. I guess my question is somewhat rhetorical as I already picked up a size Large. I think I am just a bit nervous about buying chinos for 300+. Haha

To be clear, I am more worried about the fit around the waist. I am just not used to cinching up the back so much. The fit is straight slim, but def not as skinny as the models in visvim's catalogue. The Medium fits tight around the waist and it looks really small on me. I think I made the right decision...

You guys have any pics of it inaction/ being worn?

[NeGeurra]

What is the price on those virgils?

[velvetant]

^ Just email a proxy buyer (for eg juno) to find out

[halberdklown]

What is the price on those virgils?

[kvc06]

not me in the pics

I do have a pair of cord high-waters on the way though.

[readytoignite]

brings me back to middle school.... "heeeeey man, when's the flood?"

[undercover73]

Anyone know the actual release next week on the Virgils?

[velvetant]

They're not going to be released. You or someone else place an order through the order form and then you or someone else picks them up through a store -- and they're all gone.

[undercover73]

I understand the concept of pre order through the website but im assumed that they will be released through their store as well?
