VISVIM FW15

Sizing on Herge Coat? Usually a 3 but if it runs big wondering if i should get a size 2 this season

[Bigyen]

Alternately, I would consider going true to size for the Lhamo robe. I got a size 1 and it's a smart fit: the arms are spot on and it stops right below my knees, and if I were ever going to wear it out on the town, this is how I'd want it to fit. But, it's a robe, I'm wearing this thing when I'm out in the wilderness, camping or at a cabin sitting in front of a fire. You want this thing to be big so it just touches your toes or even drags a little. When you look at the origin of these robes, people use them as wearable blankets or they use the excess fabric to wrap up their children and keep them warm, etc. So depending on how and where you plan on wearing it, consider going TTS.

Just my 2 cents.

Where to buy Vis in HK other than FIL?

Any answers please welcomed!

[winstonrodney...]

Also just got first Sanjuro........what is with the way the back looks?

I feel like Quasimodo - am suspecting it's supposed to haunch but it's ecclesiastical at best ?

Everybody else just style it out??

[undercover73]

Joyce in HK i think, then all the re sellers.

[winstonrodney...]

Ta !

[ken shinoda]

Both FIL location in HK is shut down rite? The one in Wan Chai and the other one in Peninsula

Try folding out a a small gradual lapel, it makes the small opening at the back of the neck more relaxed, the shoulders fit better that way, losing most of any sag/gather at the shoulder blades and opens up the front too.  The fit and cut on the shoulders is similair to a noragi imo.

 

I have the one below and at the shoulder blades it gathered quite a bit when I tried it on, settled down after a few wears, guess the arm opening stretched a little and with all the above it's pretty much perfect.  Looks spot on layered under a longer jacket like the nomad.

Perfect. 

 

Sounds absolutely spot on Dee. I tailor/taper my Lhamo's on the lapel anyway, just hadn't thought to do this.

Makes sense that it would open up on the shoulders and settle down a bit around the arms etc.

 

Gracias amigo.

Where were the aw15 7 Hole 73 Folks made?

[Fycus]

all footwear made in China, some sneakers made in Korea (or were?). FBT's are made in Japan now, some models still may be made in China.

[Bigyen]

Is there any noticeable difference in quality?

[Fycus]

Not at all, the Chinese footwear is actually great quality overall. A couple misses in some pairs of footwear where a less cosmetic hide should be used in non visible areas on boots, but that happens even with the most discerning QC at other factories.

Are you able to find a site/social media for Katim?

Is it saying Steven Alan is carrying the first collection?

[PHAT HEAD CAMEL TOEZ]

The article said Steven Alan already made an agreement to become a stockist. Looks like the brand had popup shops at some of the "IT" department stores and select shops already.

Cant seem to see a howland on the market ... If anyone has a sz3 i'd trade it for an elmendorf

hi, was recently pointed out to me that my pair of virgils from FW15 might be fake. bought them from yahoo.jp earlier this year and they didn't come with a box.

 

from what i can see, it looks pretty legit, except for the tab on the tongue which seems a little different (possibly). otherwise, stitching and construction seems too good to be a fake? but then again, who knows how advanced they are now…….

 

would be appreciated if you guys could help me out. thanks!
