what do your hobbies include?

[ThisIsDylan]

dumb question here... what's the difference between the noragi and lhamo shirts?

[ken shinoda]

Cuff buttons for Lhamo shirt and strings on the mid section. Noragi have neither of those.

Quick question here, anybody livin in CA who bought from visvim.tv got charged tax? Or should I enroute it to my friend's place in Oregon?

i think whatever tax you'd get in Cali you would also get in Oregon

Well , I do biking but already have gore-tex for that , hiking and I use my bike JKT for that ... This really is for the 3 weeks rainfall here , probably is a little more and I suppose in the uk I will put it to use.

Didn't mention other hobbies as they don't require waterproof gear

Ok thanks.

 

Shipping it to HK then.

[Vinneus]

Sounds like your all set then Azul, maybe look into a suede piece or something down? 

[azulmarino]

Same problem with down in Spain , little usage.

One day something will come up ...

Quick question.. If a size 3 noragi fits well besides the arms (too snug) .. would a size 3 lhamo shirt be fine?

[Fycus]

Yes

@azul just got my hands on the Mies goretex - it is really nice but definitely not an outdoor piece - best Vis goretex piece I have had so far. Definitely worth it if you can get it a half price.

Still need to figure out what size will fit me for both Noragi and Lhamo. Need to get to a Visvim store asap.

V.F. in ref to denim line means "vintage finish"

 

Vis normal denim uses indigo dyed warp yarn and white weft yarn,  whereas the VF series uses indigo dyed warp yarn with ivory weft yarn.  This yields an appearance very close to that of vintage deadstock denim.,  hence the “vintage finish†naming.  
The Luxsic denim line also uses ivory weft yarn,  which is why the colors appear so similar

I'd be so lucky to get it at half price

This is seriously jumping the gun, but SS15 trunk show is happening in Japan next week. Got the invite so I'm gonna check it out. I'll report back. No pics though.

[kojiro]

Yep, please do so! Appreciated.

Look into IT suede stuff please as I'm always after these

Just saw that union is also opening their ss15 trunk show up to the public in case anyone wants to stop by there. Sounds like they won't have the full range (and prices will likely be much more expensive). Still, I'd go if I was over there.

Anyone have experience with the bison leather virgil? I heard the vibram soles aren't good for wintry conditions but the upper should be fine right? If I'm to get them resoled with something I can walk in snow and slush in, is there a similar vibram sole or any white sole that would work well? Thanks.

[emixam]

there were 3 of them BNWT until recently at under 100k on Y!. It seems people are more interested in the normal version, so sellers have diffilcuties to resell them under 100k.

Anyone know how the fbt oppians fit? 9.5 in nikes, would size 9 be good?

Also anyone have fit pics of them on?

[Bigyen]

you gheys were right the size 3 101 fits perfectly.

first visvim purchase just over three years ago, in need of a resole - is there any way I can source that waffle soul seen on earlier virgils?

[Fycus]

Its just a vibram christy, unless you have the two-layer sole which is a vibram foam shim with a rubber layer on the bottom. The rubber sheet vibram uses is very hard to come across and if you want it your only option is to go through visvim directly. I think its $180 usd not including shipping both ways, plus a 6 month wait. 

[choice]

dang, any other recommendations that'd look good? That turn around time would suck. I remember seeing one user here use a crepe sole

[shekki]

how difficult is it to change from the visvim waffle sole to a christy?

[Fycus]

a matter of taking it to a cobbler and paying $60 

[flachs]

nice boots choice...looking so good.

[itsbenhere]

Dude, just go with a dainite sole or something.  They'd look dope.

Hey, I recently purchased a pair of Hockney's from an ebay seller in Japan. They were deadstock and never worn.

 

After a few days of wearing I've noticed the white midsole is delaminating from the lower back plastic heel pad as well as from the actual sole.

 

Is this a common occurrence with Hockney's and has anyone found a solution for this?

 

Just wondering if I can mend it myself or if I need to take these to a cobbler.

Finally tracked down the Little Cloud Coffee coat... wonderful edition.
