Better start saving up, the Virgil Picaro folk boots will cost 176,400Yen :eek:

yeah, I couldn't find the Indigo color on the web so I pulled the trigger on the damaged one.

the damaged one looks nice on the net. post a pic once you got it?

[flex]

i have the orginal brown and black one. was the price increase due to new leather or?

I reckon it's the hand dyed process that's mentioned for the indigo virgils... ain't there a reason footwear hasn't been dyed like this... tradtionally that is

[Dead_Wizard]

Robe shirt is great. I actually got to handle an 18th century Franciscan monk's robe and it was natural indigo dyed, utterly beautiful stuff, seems like a source of inspiration for this one.

has anyone done an "evolution" on Visvim new natural dyed denim? i m wearing the new jeans now, thinking these pair deserve some major evolution.

My cobbler says that its a nice idea but boots are usually designed to withstand outdoor elements so natural dye will usually wear against rain and sunlight. Makes sense but i still love the concept.

EXACTLY...

lavishness > practicality in a Vis world!

[blastro]

what's the length on the slim chinos like? Been wanting to buy a pair but they seem short...

[winstonrodney...]

Have been wearing my new monk rope.. hoping that the whiskers will develop. The shirt does include a small patch of denim for users to stitch it on.

Couple of quick questions :- Is the monk robe Hiroki's wearing in the Pernet video the one Flex has and if so are they both denim?

The new seasons one's he's talking about- if i can follow his words properly -sound like they're linen with indigo. It also appears there's two types - block colours - indigo or brown or the same but with different coloured collar? If anyones seen seasons scans i'd love to know ( and prices too please!)

Lastly is it actually called 'monk robe' at FIL?

[emixam]

^ the FW11 model is called the Lhamo shirt and 100% cotton selvedge denim. It is not the one Hiroki is wearing on Pernet video. They released the one wash and damaged colors - I am not sure if the brown one was released or not ?

one wash @ samplekickz for HKD$3800

damaged one for HKD$4080

It is called the Lhamo shirt. Mine is 100% cotton selvedge denim. Never seen a brown one at FIL so I guess it's either prototype or non visvim.

Thanks chaps.

And I think the brown one is SS12 as somebody mentioned , as I saw it on Unions blog from the SS12 show. Looks like there's a couple of versions for next season incl. linen/indigo.

Any chance you could post up that fit pic Flex - am v keen to see it on!

Also what size are you / did you get? Am unsure on new 1- 4 business and am away without a tape measure to work it out!!

i think this may have already been discussed, but what's the difference between the standard fluxus denim and the social sculpture and luxsic denim? is the fabric the only change between this, this and this?

[Landmacht]

pfff pff streets of rage steez

[SelfEXplanatory]

I was able to check out the trunk show while in LA and i think the brown Lhamo shirt is apart of SS12. could be wrong, but they had a large selection of them SS12. Prices are not that bad (they are still bad though) btw, only pieces that stood out were the Flynt mids that have a similar print to those FBTs on the other page. The Flynts are $450, FBTs are $700+, they have a cap toe virgil coming out as well that is a FIL exclusive that looks really nice 1200+, and many were gravitating towards the perforated patricians. very interesting shoe, and perfect for spring/summer. The Lhamo shirt comes in a different fabric that is not denim, natural dye, it felt crazy (in a good way) but totally forgot what it was made of. it felt, VERY EXPENSIVE. The range of shirting in the mainline is really dope. Natural dyed garments are ridiculously expensive. you thought the 450+ pocket tee was bad. lol they have crews, hoodies, and a tee that is completely hand made. didnt even want to know the price.

oh and those japanese wooden sandals are available for SS12 as well.

hopefully my lhamo shirt for fall 11 is still on its way.

Just handled some of the new stuff at union. So soft. Like, everything is just so soft.

Can I find pics online of the Trunk Show for SS12?

[SelfEXplanatory]

^nope. not to my knowledge.

they were pretty strict on allowing people to take pictures, someone might have but I wouldnt know. im sure pictures will surface soon.

[kiya]

We sold him those jawnz (jeans).

[Denton]

you forgot to tell him don't go crazy with the machine washing

they look lifeless

[kiya]

He likes his jeans super baggy.

[ruco]

I thought they were sweatpants

[Landmacht]

He likes playing it super safe

[Air Macks]

He likes playing it super safe

He's pushing 70. Don't think he needs to be wearing 3/4 cropped chinos with multicolored skagways.

Where was this pic taken, FURR?
