[dsmoove]

Trying to find a cheaper alternative to SLP Chelsea boots. Anyone have any recommendations for alternatives with a similar construction?

[Nebulae]

So what does "puckering" mean

I see a lot of brands like Kolor/Sacai do it.  Is it just the ruching along the outseam?

[defiance]

^ pretty much. on any seam, for the matter.

white mountaineering down vest. size 1 too small for 36US?

0 or 1 depending on the cut and your height. The shiny puffer vests from a couple seasons back fit really large.

Check the measurements

Some stuff is purposely oversized anyway

[itsbenhere]

how do the converse first strings run? a half size big (like regular chucks) ?

[spacey]

Yeah I normally wear a 7.5 in vans but i went for a 7 in my FS and it fits around the same.

[itsbenhere]

thats what I was thinking... it's super hard to choose which color though.  black red and green all look sick but I think I'm leaning toward red

[spacey]

I believe the red isn't FS but just '70s, although there isn't a big difference between the two. I just bought the true navy colourway but the red is pretty nice too.

 

Edit: My bad, the red low cut isn't FS but the high tops are.

I would say true to size, some outerwear items may be smaller.

canada is brutal but regardless of your country, marking it as gift can only do so much. the sender's address is still going to say "from japan limited" or the rakuten shop's name - obviously businesses so if a customs agent handles it and sees the label, he can figure it out easily. maybe they've learned to pay extra attention to packages from japan.
