small questions thread (use before making a new thread!)

Is it worth it to try and buy something from Oki-Ni from the US? I've heard a lot of bad things about customs and shipping times. Is there any secret to getting your stuff from there without regretting it?

Anyone know where I can find these Converse Leather Jacket? Announced in June for a July release.

Does anyone know when the fall items for APC & Nom De Guerre will start hitting stores??

[kirbenvost]

Anyone digging the new H&M slim faux leather jacket? I was originally looking for something with a short collar and epaulets, but this one looks really good without those anyway. I'm thinking of getting it, opinions?

[morsto]

Anyone know online stockists that have the raf patent astro sneakers in stock? I only know seven-NY and they're sold out there. Need a pair in size 46.

[whatuknowaboutthat]

[m1sterko]

does h&m always come out with leathers time to time?

[mutt225]

Sometimes yes, ive seen some nice ones and some shit ones. The fake leathers almost always are not worth a penny though if you get a real one the fit is awesome on them very tight

[m1sterko]

joey says they're pretty mediocre, and I'm willing to take his word for it.

Obedient Sons did a couple tanks like this. Don't know if Blackbird has any left.

These are pretty much sold out everywhere. Best bet would be auction sites.

[nothx]

skull 5010xx black or pbj 005 black?

[geekbonchic]

Your best bet would be to head for the "this or that" thread in superdenim.

[eraserhead]

Help please.

Has anyone here ever ordered from verypoolish? It's a German site and I was wondering if anyone from the US has ever been hit with customs after ordering from them.

Thanks.

i need to get a suit for a wedding - i was contemplating getting a suit at the thrift store - problem is that most of the time they are only slightly bigger than i want etc etc - question! will at tailor be able to size down an already made suit for me? and if so, what can i expect the prices to be around? thanks in advance

[geekbonchic]

Fit around the chest and shoulders is most important, as those are the hardest to alter. You should be able to snugly (but not tightly) fit your fist in between yourself and the buttoned jacket. Also, the shoulder seam should gently follow the line of your shoulder. Even with extensive tailoring, a thrifted suit will probably still be cheaper than a new one.

yeah thats what i figured - what abut length? i'm in between a 36 and 38 but some of them are regular lengths and they're just too long(i'm 5'6) - and should the waist on pants be easy to tailor?

EDIT: also - what about with shirts? best bet would be to find some that are also fitting in the chest/shoulders huh?

can anyone help me out with sizing on H by Hudson oxfords? how do they run compared to vans or converse?

thanks.

[mpcec]

This has probably been asked to date, but the rule of thumb for BoO is size up 1 correct? I'm a medium in Ervell and a 50 in Geller for reference, so I was thinking of going with a large.

Also is sizing this fall consistent with previous seasons? I imagine it is...

Anyone here have experience waterproofing cotton fabrics? I see some spray on/wash-in products that claim to give clothing water protection but has anyone tried it?
