Visvim F/W 2013

[Fycus]

stay with what vinneus recommended, a 6.5 or 7 should be fine

[Vinneus]

That was actually master, he actually taught me! who would think the best footwear on the planet would size -3 but hey, whatever works!

Thanks!

oooor you can just size down by 7-8 sizes and rock them like Hiroki does. He was spotted during latest trunk show rocking these:

 

 

In this case remember to rock them barefoot, you need to feel the shoe with your skin.

Amazing

[jitkie]

just LOLOL

[snahfu]

my kilgore is a little big, do you think its safe it give it a hot wash and dry?

[winstonrodney...]

Yes definitely and if it shrinks too much just seal one sleeve and then blow into the other sleeve and it should get a little bigger.

[winstonrodney...]

Or get a piece of chalk and draw your perfect fit against the outline of the jacket and then just use a stencil cutter and trim away. Should fit like a glove after that.

anyone check out dsmny yet? i'm curious what the pricing is like, specifically on those 7 hole plain toes.

7-holes were 680 pretty sure prices are on par Union LA and the stock is extremely limited.

[Vinneus]

again, proxy.

Considering this version of the Virgil and need some help..

has anybody that has worn these know if the higher sole/heel actually looks that big in person?  I didn't see these at FIL-Tokyo last month.

Stop spreading the "sizing variance" trash. thats the first sign someone either owns no visvim or is just talking to talk. I've been into the brand for 4 years.

 

"Sizing variance trash" huh? Riight.

 

I remember Sahlan78 posted this from way back.

 

 

Maybe if you ask him nicely you can put that in your vissertations?

I believe Vin was mostly talking about the footwear.

I know some of you think my sizing advice makes no sense, but as of today i own 14 pairs of Visvim shoes/boots (over a 7 year span) and they're all size 9.

Been living in my Noragi Kano since I got it.

I have the bison virgils that released before and while they are chunkier than earlier models they look fine on. I actually like the extra height.

[master716248]

Kiya. I've been told it's the same and because there's no tpu just looks bigger. Have not seen in person but it should not be to much bigger where it would look bad or feel different IMO

[master716248]

Mike I don't think it's extra height I think it's just that there is no tpu which is chunkier then the pizi heel.

[master716248]

And Merry Christmas. I hope u all got fun boys

[shinydonut]

Checked out DSMNY today.  7-hole, Virgil, Lhamo and Brigs were all available but I didn't bother asking about sizes in the back.  From what I saw out on display though, sizes 8-10 are there with a decent selection of colors.  Prices for Brigs and Virgils were $9xx.  7-hole was $8xx.  7-hole surprised me with how light they were compared to the Virgil (must be the chunky sole).  Pretty limited selection of clothes, no jackets other than flag hoodie and insulator vest.

Thanks, ordered them anyway, i'm sure they'll be great.

[Fycus]

The new iterations are pretty awesome, a little less aggressive without the tpu stabilizer but I get that it matches the aesthetic the brand is heading towards. The black bison is amazing and wears nicely- I'm beating the hell outta mine. All kinds of deep scratches and scuffs already but they are holding up to it. 

[Vinneus]

Mike how your Brigs coming along? Mine are butters!

I know I tease a lot and bust balls but Meery Christmas all!

[JacktheHat]

Vinneus did you go leather or suede on the brigs?

[Fycus]

Suede all day. I originally ordered the leather and was semi disappointed. Vinn passed on an extra pair of suedes. Probably my most go to pair of boots right now due to it working with my eg clothes. They are ridiculously comfortable once broken in and the height is awesome for mobility and travel (wore them all over Asia for a month). The laces are too fragile for me and they don't come with spares so I will probably sub with Alden flat wax and they'll look more like the wmv hilt boot

[Vinneus]

cosign everything you just said, especially because im to drunk to have thoughts. good stuff

[kojiro]

Some may find it interesting- here's a comparison photo of Picaros- old, non-ICT Indigo release and  ICT Indigo release. Enjoy
