Visvim F/W 12

[Vinneus]

@massiv i took a sz 2, that is my true, fitted, visvim size. i took a chance on the sz3 101 from you but it was too oversized. actually just tracked it down in a 2 on YJP.

thanx too for the kind words Ruco & Winston

as for the Noragi i have had 3 all in size 2, and have also tried bigger sizes. the arm & armhole barley change from size to size. the size differances are all in the shoulder and body. the noragi is a very particular garment... my advice, which was matthew's of visvims advice back in the ss12 thread... buy your true size and have a taylor open up the seam in the sleeves. no sense in buying a huge, oversized robe just so it fits your arms. its ment to be a short, open, top layer.

Kilgore pics coming soon.

[emixam]

go TTS for noragi and lhamo

[Vinneus]

Noragi arm hole and sleeve... so just to drive home my piont, i havent checked the measurements on the different sizes but i know for sure the changes all take place in the shoulders and body of the piece.

Heres my size 2, worn in and stretched.... the sleeves have really loosened up. its the nature of cotton to stretch.

Also threw the kilgore on top, bet this will be my brisk fall night uniform, so keep an eye out at your local bar for the whiteboy hiroki. haha

Like that kilgore, i have so many similar pieces from wtaps and neighborhood i just couldn't get that one, but as usual they do their items top tier and it shows

Lhamo armholes are also much more normal than noragi, i wear 1 in all my visvim shirts(including lhamo it is meant to be a little short in overall length) i had a 2 noragi and my arms were suffocating in it, luckily sold the damaged noragi, i could of worn it in, but i never would have buttoned the clasp, still very nice, I just like the lhamo a bit better in every way. but i would agree with vinneus, grab your size and kind of stretch the forearms out on the noragi or just one size up, but getting the armholes to fit nicely would mean wearing a very oversized piece on the noragi.

Lhamo you could size up 1 for it to be a layering piece, i mainly like it over a t shirt though.

[winstonrodney...]

I only use Lhamo to layer over a tee too, never think it looks quite right over a shirt. Even up a size it's tight on shoulder/arm socket and I'm no muscle mary.

Guess its just how you like to wear em. I'll post a fit pic when I'm back next week ( and work out how to do it... )

Incidentally anyone know what the brown jacket is. 3 down on very first page of this thread?

Also has anyone ever stonewashed or distressed their own denim? Probably should try a denim thread for this I know but just interested!!

[jcashen87]

Very nice Ruco, you do a visvim enthusiast proud!

What does the trunk show crew or anyone who has seen the patricians from FW12 think of them, i will probably go after the burgundy, just wanted some thoughts on them, better than the WT from SS12 that i missed on?

[Vinneus]

Ruco, were gunna have some fun friday!

haha nice

[seven.homme]

such a nice furrg ruco .. make me want to grab the beuys

[master716248]

Furgs are a lot more comfy then the beuys. I have both think it's cause of the sole. But love how that crepe sole looks

[master716248]

I have a brand new pfd dark brown corduroy I would take 1600 for and a black and brown uk sweaters made from 100% cashmere with elk brains tanned suede patches, looking for 800 a sweater if anyone's is interested. Selling some things for my boy he ordered from the trunk show FW 11 and then he lost a ton of weight. All brand new all size 3. Great deals

[ruco]

I could see a crepe sole making sense for the furrg as much as the beuy's. The Mor-Flex on the furrg is a bit too stiff for the lightness and unstructured design of the upper. If and when I do resole I'll choose something else.

size 11 + 12 furrgs for a reasonable price here: http://www.fuk.co.uk/threads/fs_visvim_shoes_1

[ganguro]

Guys, I have updated my FS list with a couple more items from Visvim for sale, see if you like any

[emixam]

nice fit on the curso Ruco. I love mine as well, it is much much better when worn than on a hanger.

[ganguro]

i have a question, do you guys usually size up or size down for your FBTs? If I wear a 10 for Virgils what should I get for FBT?

[akuma no uta]

FBT folk - TTS

standard FBT (pre MIJ) 1 size down

New MIJ FBT TTS

[leemc77]

Not wanting to clog the thread up with sales but I've got a brand new pair of 04 social sculptures in damage 9, w32 l30 that I may be looking to shift....

great adventura and great furrgs - you got from me. thanks for your post

[Vinneus]

hey all!

[29mark25]

New lhamo?! So, the big question is, especially as a Noragi and Lhamo owner, want do you think about the armhole sizing issue?

[emixam]

Lhamo has no armhole issue, noragi is very tight.

And to the asshole who neg rep me because i said go TTS for noragi and lhamo, I am typically in between size 3 and 4 for tops and wear size 3 for both (for ref, I wear size 4 in 101 and size 5 in deckhand). I guess everyone has different sizing experience.

[seven.homme]

im selling my visvim x sophnet americana dark brown sz 9 (fits like 9.5/10) .. hit me up for pics etc

[Vinneus]

agree with emixam (as usual) there is no arm hole issue! haha we have covered this so many times....

Noragi has skinny, tapered sleeve and Lhamo is full cut. if anything, Noragi "weirdness" is in the mid sleeve tightness. As for the Lhamo, i love it! it fits perfect and it will be my fall base layer, then kilgore ontop.
