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

[ptozzi]

Anyone know where I can get Suicoke sandals proxied to the US? Checked Rakuten but they are sold out in the nice colors. 

[ProfMonnitoff]

What's the best proxy service now? Been hearing mixed things about both Sharp and Suto lately.

 

If it makes a difference, I'm in Europe.

[defiance]

fromjapan.

[SloppyMilkshake]

What's the consensus on the quality of Oak (NYC)'s in-house line? I'm seeing some nice looking clothes for a reasonable price, but I'm a little worried that at that price point it may be a Fabrixquare/Zara type situation. 

[Calbeee]

any suggestion for pants that taper a lot?  i have been looking for something like this but can't seem to find it!


looking for pants that taper down to ~6 at the bottom

My CDG wallet's zipper broke, anyone have any idea where I could get this fixed?

 

go to your local cobbler. they should be able to replace the zipper

[Plaisantery]

I have some very old Desert Boots I got when I was 15. I still wear them from time to time they look fine except for the sole. Can I take them to a cobbler and have them resoled? Also, what kind of sole should I get?

 

Thanks.

My last proxy from suto arrived with the box mangled up and 3 items missing from the order. I've been trying to contact them for the past two weeks about getting a partial refund and they've been ghost for a little over a week.

[Nebulae]

^did they just keep the 3 items or did they get lost?

[skeetinmynose]

They didn't include the items.

 

I had previously asked them to send me a photo of all my items together prior to shipping, in which the missing items were present in the photo.

 

After delivery I let them know items were missing, they claimed I didn't purchase anything else, so I sent them their own photo LOLz

Jesus, might have to do that as well then lol

 

only issues I've had to date are them not responding for 2-3 hours to a bidding inquiry and purchasing an item after I told them to cancel the order 2 days prior.  

This seems to be an actual issue though.  Hope you get your shit, man.

[Avant Grade]

Hope u get that sorted out tick. Small question here, Superfuture or Stylezeitgeist? which do you like best and why. idk which i like better

pretty sure im a 41 in rick boots. theres a 42 available now. will they be too large? outsole measurements seems to be okay, just a tad larger than my comfort spot.

^what's the consensus on boot sizing? (have no idea)

I usually wear 8.5-9 (see shoe sizing discussion thread) and went w/ a 42.  Toe box is big so there's room there but otherwise fits well.

[Calbeee]

need opinions.  finally got my geller dip dye.

is it supposed to fit slouchy and oversized like this?  or is it simply too big?

[jbanger]

^ not exactly sure but looks big to me

Sux mayne... But to answer your q monnitoff I'd definitely recommend fromjapan. Fairly easy to use, don't have to bother with e-mailing or getting into contact with Japanese dudes, it's all automated. You can set it to bid snipe too. My two recent proxies were ridiculously smooth and arrived in roughly a week's time.

Yeah, it's supposed to fit slouchy and oversized, but I think it's a little too much arm stacking in your case. If it helps, I sized down a size on my dip dye and it fits fine everywhere except the torso's a tad cropped. So take that for what you will 

[Nebulae]

have always been told geller is supposed to fit a bit oversize.

I personally think the fit on that sweat looks good

[arya_triad]

anyone knows any reliable US proxy? want to get something from a US webstore to be shipped to Australia

Apologize in advance for the amount of pictures, but can anyone do a legit check on these?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

geller sweat looks okay to me; arm stackiness and all (but preference important here) 

does anyone know if pastel pack serras were really made in korea?
 

[korsdrag]

Anyone know of any Japanese DBSS Stockists?

cannot find stockist page on metalburger

[frasier oiseau]

I know Midwest does, they have stores in Tokyo and Nagoya (and perhaps elsewhere)

[Nebulae]

Thanks, man.  Trying to get a list together.

I will be buying online/through proxy but just wanted to know of more stores in case the pieces I want sell out

[Nebulae]
