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

How do you size with air rifts? Should you go true to size, or do they fit small because of the toe?

 

fits slightly truer than other frees. I'm 7.5 in flyknits but i rounded up to an 8 and they fit fine

[gouki]

Any idea where i can kop a pair of DRKSHDW ramones in size 41 ?

 

PM me

 

thanks

[halberdklown]

Would anyone happen to know what jacket this is? The buttons remind me of something Apolis uses, but I can't place it

what's the most reliable japan proxy service?

[mr.invincible]

cheapest and safest way to remove sweat stains from white tshirts?

 

without using bleach of course

[fredokin]

what's the most reliable japan proxy service?

I use buyee for yjp! and From Japan for everything else. Buyee just because payment is really simple but FJ is probably cheaper with 10% fees and they tend to reply to questions faster

[shouji]

fromjapan has 5% fee and real-time bidding for yahoo. lol why use anything else?

Has anyone had any problems with Makr or other similar zip wallets? I head people have trouble with the similar CDG zip ones with the teeth slowing scratching/tearing cards up over time, anyone had similar problems?

can be dealt with fairly okay if you use white vinegar (i know heinz has; it's about as clear as vodka or so) scrubbed into the sweat stains with an old soft or medium bristle toothbrush. hard bristles might be a bit much for the cotton but you can try if you don't mind wearing it down some. turn the shirts inside out so you can get at the stains from the inside. if you can get even more white vinegar soak shirts in a mixture of vinegar and water; 1 part to 5 parts maybe? won't be threatening to any dyed cotton either.

this is particularly good at getting rid of that weird smell that antiperspirant residue tends to trigger.

on that note if you're using an antiperspirant switch to a non-residue leaving one such as nivea invisible for men or some such thing, or ditch antiperspirants entirely and just use deodorant (if you don't want stains to recur).

Are there other webstores that sell COS jawns? All I find are aggregators that link back to the COS store site. Want to get this pair but they're out of stock in my size....

 

Or if you know another chelsea boot with black pebbled leather and commando soles that'd be great too

[frasier oiseau]

RM Williams had definitely done chelseas with pebbled leather, I don't know about commando soles though, but you could always get them re-soled. See if you can find a Made in Australia not an MiC pair

hey, sorry if its been asked before, but how do RO dunks fit? big like newer geos? thanks~

Any Canadian residents have experience with shipping to USA buyers?

Yes

Is Canada post reliable for tracking and signature confirmation? I assume that they pass the parcel to USPS, and I am worried that the item might not be scanned at the destination. I know Fedex and DHL are expensive for local shipping. Are their prices more competitive for international shipping?

FedEx will cost more than Canada Post for international, but not by much - Canada Post's international rates are insane. However, depending on what service you choose, it can absolutely be tracked after it crosses the border.

Where is MHL made? I'm hoping England, but going off the fact that most stores don't mention the CoO in the details, I'm guessing it's somewhere more unsavoury?

 

Specifically shirting, knitwear and pants - a lot of outerwear seems to be made in England, and advertised as stuff, but the country of origin isn't mentioned for shirting or knitwear on end, oipolloi, etc

Steven Alan lists MHL stuff as made in UK

anybody own a pair from ETQ Amsterdam? I don't really know anything about the brand.

 

I almost want to get them just for the soles

They aight. as good as any other CP alike, if a little less dependable on qc control

[Landadel]

How do Geobaskets fit? I´m a size 45 in Cps – which size would fit me? Thanks in advance!

[frasier oiseau]

Same size as CPs, one size down from true size

[Landadel]

That was fast, thank you!

[untrue]

Anyone have experience with eyes & sins? How's the quality?

Does celine make shoes in men's sizes?

[Eyealt]

Did RO ever make a Geo in a red/maroon suede? It'd be for women most likely as today I saw a girl wearing a pair and they were a beautiful color but one Id never seen before on a geo.

[Landadel]

There are some brown/maroon ones in Moody, they could look reddish under sunlight, idk.

He did make other red shoes though, so maybe there are some:

 

[excelsiom]

it's a new colorway and a new leather treatment both. the color is "blood." yes, i think they were women's only.

 

   

 

here's what leather in that treatment looks like minus the dye. pretty extraordinary. not sure why he didn't release more footwear in that material.

Any recommendations on a high rise casual non-pleated trouser? Have a pair of coming soon pants that fit amazingly but unfortunately havent come across a similar fit. Comfortable top block, tapered leg but not overly so.

More mid-high-rise than high rise, but Patrik Ervell does almost exactly what you're looking for

Stephan Schneider too, the AW13 Burn trousers I have fit like that as well, though they're too big for me

You could send them to Luxire and have them make an identical pair, or change anything you might want to change, in pretty much any material you want (they have a shit-ton of fabrics, and if they dont already have something you like they are very accomodating in sourcing new stuff)
