[FrugalPlayer]

anyone have a link to better pics of the black elk shirt?  hard to really make out the texture from those humanbehaviour pics

[Kaf]

hate to ask, but does anyone that's been to a trunk show know the price of the natural dye pfd? estimates?

[emixam]

I guess it is more than the FW11 cord one, so over 150K

[Vinneus]

camel brigs copd. got the same size as my virgils. pretty siked.

[jcashen87]

Got the light brown. Kangaroo leather, was a nice surprise. As i sold my light brown KNGR virgils and regretted it greatly.

[jitkie]

I passing on the brigs (hopes i dont regret), waiting for lhoka and still thinking about duck decoy. Copped the potomac, just waiting for it to arrive :/

[shouji]

do eeet

 

 

[Vinneus]

so siked for the chukka style. i always wanted the isdt boot but hated that christy sole. order 24 hours ago but still no confirmation. this normal? (first webshop purchase)

[akuma no uta]

You didn't go through jp webshop with Stephen???

[Vinneus]

uh nah, just ordered straight up. just wondering how long a confirmation email takes. 

[Al6ert]

^prob late tonight (est)...then it will be Monday morning in Japan. They prob sent you some cryptic email saying how your purchase will go into an auction? This will only be the case if they sold more than they have in stock. I find it amusing that they can't do realtime inventory, given how mature of a brand they have become...although what incentive do they really have?

In any case, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I am sure it will arrive ~ 4 days. If your worried send an email. They'll get back to you soon with tracking number.

[emixam]

ordered several times through vis.tv - it can take a few days before you get the confirmation.

[Fycus]

got the brigs in lt brown too. hope they come with an extra set of darker laces, fiber or leather... Also took 2 days before I got confirmation, then shipping took another 4-5 days locally.

they dont have the virgils on the japanese webshop anymore

[Fycus]

they mostly sold out, leftover stock to brick and mortar fil

[mr.invincible]

yea im hoping my friend will be able to pick some up while she's still in tokyo

[fpar]

I haven't post much these days but after a few Johnny kuro highballs, why not?

 

The Brigadier seems to be the most popular of the first drop.  The Dainite soles are a nice new alternative to the Vibram soles...and hell, if it's good enough for Trickers...right?  For those who haven't had a chance to see them up close, some more detailed pics...

 

 

 

 

Although it hasn't gotten much attention yet, the other highlight (I think) was the Potomac Jacket which was modeled after the Civil War Union jacket.  The FIL Sendai manger was wearing it on release day and it looked great.

 

The Margery Shirt P.O. was another item that was unexpectedly nice worn as an overshirt.  I think, again, seeing it on the FIL staff won we over on that.

 

And the 101 Jacket Damaged sold out instantly, as usual.

Hey Stephen! Glad to see you posting thanks man!

Anyone know what jap retail is on the Fluxus dmgd chinos? Also any idea how much will the Moleskin Hunting jkt and Artifact Coverall cost?

[Fycus]

After looking at the overdope link I think I'm glad I got the Lt Browns. Soooo nice

[emixam]

so nice...

 

 

 

Can anyone who attented the trunk show share about the fabric used on FW13 noragi : it says flannel, is it the same used on previous black elk  shirts ? I am worried about the pilling, not a big fan of flannel usually.

Hi - what is the difference between the Americana Deck vs. the Hockney Folk?  Aside from materials on the uppers.  Looks like the same last/sole and basic design/shape of the uppers?  I've never tried either on, but am thinking about grabbing a pair of the Americana's....

 

Thanks!

[LightVII]

Been searching around the net for the JPY retail for this lhamo folk but to no avail. 
anyone can shed some light please? thanks!

[Fycus]

not released yet iirc

[jcashen87]

Emixam: Its a damaged flannel. Does not look like it would pill too much. But plain colors soft/brushed feeling flannel. I believe they have a shirt but i dont recall a black elk being made with it.

 

M4TM: They have had 2 eye hockney's which sit lower on the ankle, where as the americana sit higher. But the recent hockney looked just the same as americana because they were 3 eye and sat higher like them. Usually the americana are lined with horse hide though. I can say the regular visvim soles used on them are pretty good in my experience though, i have beat my hockneys at work in a boat yard/marina for a year and a half and the only worn down spot is the heel a little bit.
