They don't, see here:

(at least that's what their HP says)

I tried to order a few Buzz Rickson bits from the Toyo store and ultimately failed at the checkout stage as they do not ship internationally

[JDelage]

Thank you.

[Geeman]

@JDelage Amazon JP is always worth a try as  lot of stores have a shopfront there and it makes the ordering process very simple. Shipping/duties calculated upfront just takes a bit of searching to find the item. 

Note, if you have an Amazon account/Prime account it works across most Euro countries but not the JP site you'll need to set up an account . It's a faff but worth it,  most of my Beams Plus I get via Amazon JP. 

I've actually had refunds from them when the exchange rate has dropped between ordering and delivery!  

[JDelage]

Thanks @Geeman - I have used Amazon Japan in the past for books and stuff. Worked very well.

What t-shirts do you all like for the summer? My loopwheel stuff feels too heavy for hot weather.

[Thanks_M8]

^gildan heavy cottons in a 30 pack

I wear them all day for work and it's the easier thing to not think about what kind off tshirt I want for the day early in the morning.

[mlwdp]

Phigvel makes some good tshirts.

Since we are on that subject, any online stores in Japan ship worldwide tax free? Possibly RMC stuff. I was just in Japan and didn't get a chance to visit RMC and pickup some things.

[AlientoyWorkmachine]

Lots do, I’d venture to say most that ship internationally will be tax free (you can ask to make sure) but I believe RMC is one of those brands you can’t find that with. Like IronHeart or PBJ. Someone else will correct me if I’m wrong.

Hey @beautiful_FrEaK  Is there some stretch to the waist for your Denime 220As?  I think I can pull off a size 32 based on my size 34 OOE OA01s.  Thanks in advance!

Edited June 30 by efujobu1

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yes, they stretch back like all unsanforized denim does.

I have the 220a in a W34 and the Ooe in W36 so your plan sounds doable

[southofnonorth]

@ColdsnapBryan As far as I’m aware @AlientoyWorkmachine is correct, RMC doesn’t do tax free shopping.

I picked up a couple of things from their Harajuku store last week. The exchange rate made it feel like I was getting a discount anyway

Need these about 3cm shorter  keep stepping on the heel part.

1. Cuff 3cm higher and leave the old fold line?
2. Or cut at fold line, hem  and wear uncuffed?

I would personally have them hemmed shorter, but I feel there might also be a 3rd option (which may be entirely ruled out by your personal preference):

3. Roll the hem up 2 or 3 times, so old scuff mark is not so visible, and shorter length achieved

[chicote]

Yeah try the tender cuff method! One big cuff, then fold the lower half of the cuff up to meet the original hem line. Idk if that makes sense, there are photos somewhere in the tender thread.

(I had this image in an email - easier to find than trawling the thread 😅)

Jungmaven makes some decent ones, but the sizing isn't always super consistent, especially in the lengths.

I've been enjoying the Buzz Rickson BR78960 149, it's loopwheel, but feels much lighter than a Warehouse T, even a bit lighter than Whitesville.

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

Recognize these shoes? I want to say Russel Mocs but a specific model would be nice 

 

[julian-wolf]

^ If they are Russells, they’re either custom or from a while ago. I don’t think any of their recent stock chukkas have shipped with soft leather soles. 

[Duke Mantee]

They look like Arrow lace boots

[julian-wolf]

They do, especially the style of stitching—but I don't think I've ever seen Arrow use such thin / light leather?

I’ve never experienced the fall between a hype of finding and preparing to order a pair of boots I’ve been wanting for a while just to get shattered when learning the brand was shut down 6 years ago. 

[tooth]

If you haven’t already, do a Google image search on that image you posted; I think you’ll find some other boots by other manufacturers that look similar and may still be available.

I got an email invoice for renewing my Sufu subscription but wherever I put in my username and password into the pop-up box it just resets the fields and leaves me in the same spot. @superfuture any idea what's going on? Same thing happens on mobile and PC.

I've yet to find an online store that sells both the FC 1101 (new w/o arcs) and Warehouse 1001xx standard model to compare size charts—does anyone own both and could comment on the fit? It seems like the FC 1101 will be a bit roomier/wider at the same tagged size?

Celluloid sells both iirc 

[Alec Leamas]

Just went to Celluloid to pull both sets of measurements to try and help out but their measurements on the 1001XX are bonkers, they've got the waist for a raw 34 as 97cm! Take with a massive pinch of salt - Warehouse themselves have the 34 listed with a waist size of 88cm!

[gmn]

Yeah… thanks for the tip that they stocked both! When I checked earlier something seemed off hah. I was hoping to find a direct comparison between a stockist who has good measurement charts but they’re all so hit or miss. 
 

Funny how there are detailed measurements for multiple different points on jeans and no one seems to agree on what the measurements are on a model.
