Visvim F/W 2013

[itsbenhere]

Are there any websites I should know about? Pretty sure vis isn't on rakuten for some reason

[shoreman]

Start working your way back through all the Visvim related seasonal threads and then pop over to fuk.co.uk and see what they have to say. ( 377 pages worth of posts to go through http://www.fuk.co.uk/threads/visvim_dsm) 

 

Rather than ask your questions here, I'd recommend you reach out to a select few and ask them personally. (You'll likely get more detailed and welcoming responses.)

Oh that thread looks sweet.  Thanks for the help buddy.

@ people who have owned patricians -- do they stretch? I got a pair in size 10 a while ago and they barely fit so I didn't wear them at all, and I'm wearing them today and they seem marginally more comfortable (to the point where it actually isn't painful to walk). Though it might be cause I haven't gone running in ~2 weeks cause of school.

 

If they don't get any more comfy I'll be selling them. These are the same shoes I inquired about ~1 month ago.

[seven.homme]

mine doesnt stretch that much ..

[kojiro]

Go to your local cobbler and ask him to stretch them. It's doable but half a size if you don't want to mess up your shoe.. They simply put a shoe tree, a special one and stretch the shoe from the inside (so it just stretches the upper shoe). If they are definitely too small I wouldn't bother- simply sell and size up.

I'm wearing 8.5 in nikes, size 8 virgil fits me perfectly

[Kaf]

im an 11.5 in nike, 11 in 13ss KNGR virgils.

[Vinneus]

flannel lhamo is a real hidden gem. perfect to layer like a cardigan or under anything to increase warmth.

[winstonrodney...]

more pics please vines....i'm on the fence on this one. is it heavy or a lighter flannel?

[emixam]

isn't it 100% linen ?

No, they don't stretch much. I suggest you sell off and size up

[kojiro]

Maybe it's not the relevant topic but I'll post this question here anyway as this one is the most "V-active".

Has anyone compared an Olive SS13 Kilgore with AW12 Olive Kilgore? What are the differences in color / fabirc? Thanks in advance!

[Fycus]

olive ss13 is a little bit more olive and less green than the fw12, which is more similar to the 13ss green color. The fw12 also has lighter colored buttons, whereas the ss13 is darker. Fit on 13ss is the biggest of all kilgores from what I was told, however I only have experience with ss13 and fw13 in my size.

[Planetarium]

Pretty sure those new lhamo releases are all linen. I tried a couple on at the Kyoto FIL recently; beautiful and almost weightless, but they didn't have a color that suited me. Would be the perfect overshirt for a warmer night.

 

Managed to find a corduroy lhamo kuba in my size at the Harajuku FIL though.

[kojiro]

Thanks Fycus. As for sizing- if I find SS13 Kilgore Sz3 ok but with a small margin (I think I could size down but it would be very close to unwearable), I can't settle for a sz2 FW12 Olive huh?

[Fycus]

It will likely be too short in the arms, and you're pretty big right? it might be too small at the chest

[kojiro]

Yeah my usual concerns with V items is chest size and arms/shoulders (and the fact that to be able to wear these means buying things that are a bit too long for my liking- the reason I'd like to size down in Kilgore to sz 2)

[Fycus]

I always see dudes here wearing the kilgores slim but they are meant to run long in the body. All classic fatigue jackets fit like this, its a travesty sizing down trying to get a desired look. Unless you're really short, keep the larger size. 

 

see how it is cut well below waist even though his arms are raised?

The link seems to be corrupt- all I can see is  photo.163.com

As for sizing- well, I like the way Hiroki rocks his. It's short. But I agree that these jackets (traditionally) should run longer.

It's a bit of an obsession but I hate when "top wear" well covers my buttocks. Same history with jackets, too long shirts, etc. I even had my Lhamo trimmed a bit.

[Fycus]

its well below his waist so it does cover his ass, thats the traditional fatigue jacket fit.

[kojiro]

I said WELL over buttocks- I think the photo you've shown is the perfect fit. My 13SS green runs def longer on me (I'm 5'11" - 6 ft).

[master716248]

Ict Kilgore kofu size three. These and the bandana ones run a tad smaller then the reg damaged kilgores and the reg solid color ict kilgores. Still not a big difference

[kojiro]

Damn, even your carpet is Antique Border
