Visvim F/W/S 2006-2007

[shinchrono]

Shit, you might be right. Looks like someone spilled pepsi or some shit all over a nice pair of FBT's if you ask me. Maybe they look really nice in person?

[Quincy Hoist]

Damn, I've been planning on snagging something from ACR in a/w... this outerwear has me second guessing what to save for.

[PAND]

Don't know if this question's been asked before, but how do the Hockneys fit like?

Cheers x x

[chrisj]

just copped the redwhite nez perce ancestors... good quality leather very nice.

but im really looking for the corsica goretex and the insulation sweat or something... my buddy was telling me the insulator(which is a sweat) fits into the goretex jacket perfectly..

i want

i need?

i think there is a sizing thread somewhere in supershopper.

to my understanding hockneys fit like skynards which dont fit to true size.

i wear a 10 for FBTs, i bought skynards in 10 and they are tight as fuck.

id suggest u go a size up. i thnk they only make 1/2 sizes for sz 9?

or u can just get ur true sz and hope u wear it enough that it will expand(my skynards did a little) they fit alright but its a bitch to put on. i passed on the hockneys b/c of this sizing issue.

My Ballistic 20 Nez Perce(black color) just came in last night, all I can say is that it's really well made and the nice thing about it is that for a relatively big bag it doesn't look bulky at all.

The reflective parts doesnt look obvious as well, I didn't see much pics of the black online so I was afraid they would be in a different color (silver).

Big thanks to duofold for the the assist in my pricing questions. I'm really tempted to get some of the Visvim shoes as well, count me in as one of the converts

I'll try and post pics tomorrow

I'd so love to have a look round the Chinese factory responsible for their packs/bags. Wonder if they're any 'backdoor a-grades' ???

[Charlie Delta]

hmmmmmm

please elaborate...

[shinchrono]

Can someone tell me if Harajuku F.I.L. usually has most of the items in stock? Or are most things a pretty limited run even at F.I.L.?

I think the chances that they have 'backdoor' stuff is quite slim as these aren't as popular as brands like NorthFace or Jansport. But hey you never know right?

But I wonder where in China it's made? Usually I would think Guangzhou but I think it's bit far. Prolly the northern Chinese provinces like Da Lian or Qingdao?

Are the shoes made in China as well? I have this impression that some Visvim stuff is made in Korea. I'm thinking the actual cost of Visvim stuff is much, much lower than retail, but the design/quality/functionability of the stuff is really well thought out.

Oh, too much of a rant there. anyway x-posting from the pick-ups thread

just for reference, on the recent FBT ancestor drops, "retail" in hong kong was actually higher than ebay reseller price (seller plainflour)... no joke.

What does "most of the items" even mean?

Everything that's in the S/S catalog?

[cersepn]

I sure hope FIL has some white logans left when my friend's there for a week at the end of the month =\

There is a thread on fake Visvim backpacks somewhere in the back. There are/were some backpacks that look/looked like they were made by the same factory; same shape, same plastic parts just with different fabrics. The shoes are made in Korea.

[Gem_art]

from what i heared

heavy shitz from vsvm this a/w

leather bomber+gore

down jkt+gore

pea coat+gore

bickle with fleece

The herringbone bickle is amazing too as the are herringbone mess pants.

God knows how much the pea coat is going to be but I'm sure it'll be crazy money. Green tweed that's gore lined with white zips, stunning.

theres a couple of ones that have more than just one or two items, dont have the names but jsut search rakuten, they'll come up. no idea of stock though. then theres a few ones that have a smaller selection like stay246 and Cliffedge.

theres several proxies so if one is not available you can always try another one.

Who the hell told you that? Buy your normal size.

[suprafly]

Who the hell told you that? Buy your normal size.

LOL. Thanks man. And if anyone has these in 11 let me know.

[chrisj]

repost pic pls supra. and yeah whole size down? thats bullshit.

id say YOU can go 1/2 sz down but sometimes they dont run 1/2 sizes.

someone needs to sticky a vsvm sizing thread.

nominate: hahn

[the breaks]

I wear an 11us/45eur in Vans and pretty much everything else, and 10us fit me perfectly in the Ancestors.

[jsn]

wow, it is actually bigger than i thought.

any chance of seeing pics of the inside of the two compartments?? ive never been able to find clear pictures elsewhere.

I guess it's a matter of tastes, I really like the size aaand add the fact that I'm short (5'5" and half) so it might not look as big for others

sorry for the not-so-great pix:

pics of the first compartment, there is a sleeve hidden underneath the small pocket where the visvim tag is placed, I tucked it in a bit so you could see the sleeve

second compartment, I believe this part is for the laptop, there is strap thing that will hold the laptop in place when slid inside the 'sleeve'

hope this helps
