Can I sell/auction through Buyee/yahoo JP auctions as an American?  I have some stuff that won’t sell here but will overseas minus EBay.

No, you need a Japanese postal address.

Best you could do is list them on eBay with worldwide shipping via GSP.

If it helps @mlwdp .. around 2020, i sold a bunch of vintage 90s era Stussy on eBay, i had GSP selected so it did reach worldwide.. a good chunk of it was purchased by 'Shop Airlines Europe B.V' at Heathrow trading estate.. i had no clue what this place was so i checked it out and it was a proxy / forwarding service the same as Buyee / Zen ect.. but buying from eBay UK on behalf of their clients based in Japan so if ppl want something enough, they will find it no matter what international platform you list it.

Looking to buy my eldest son a whitesville t 2 pack in black. I recently bought him a RMC loopwheel athletic in a L  Here

his feedback is its a slightly regular fit, room in the shoulder and a little long. 

Those of you with Whitesville,  would you suggest same size for a boxier traditional fit or size up to account for shrinkage?

RMC hardly moved after 30 degree washes

My Whitesville shrunk a good deal in a machine wash and tumble dry. I wear a L/XL normally, have a Whitesville 2 pack in an XL, which fits me like a M/L after wash and dry. I would size up personally.

I sized up one size. Often wear L but got Whitesville in XL. Fits perfect!

[Geeman]

I thought as much and thanks for quick reply 

To confirm you both usually wear a L in JP brands?  @Abochka @tigerstrom

I was going to buy a bunch of them Gee.. general consensus is size up at least one.

I gave up looking because the size charts are allover the place and it seems like the tees are too which is why some folks say size up one and some folks say size up 2..

I evn sat through an hour or so of YT wankers giving thier opinions but still no actual pre and post was dimensions..

Final nail in the coffin was eBay listings showing measured sizes

The used size med here showing a p-p of 19" and a length of 25"

The used size Lg here showing  a p-p of 19" and a length of 24.5"

..but hey, they're only £30 odd quid for a 2-pack so the next parcel i get from JP, i'll size up 1 and add a pack to my parcel.. if they fit, i'll keep em, if not i'll hand them down to the boy.

some sizings for an XXL here mate if it helps...

Long shot, but anyone could compare sizing/stretch/shrink between OOE Yofukuten OA3 denim and the more recent OA4 "dull" used on their WW2 jeans ? Only options I have on the second hand market for the S03 is a size down 1 or size up 2 from my most perfect fitting jeans (OA1 in 32 with OA3 denim)

Edited April 22 by Collin

[ATWM]

@Collin I find their shrink and sizing to be pretty consistent. I also have a few raw pairs around that size - I may be willing to part with one - if you want to DM me about what you're looking for specifically. International shipping is $$ though, so idk. 

[okimoto]

@Collin I also have the SOA03 from S&S's 2025 run in 31 if you are interested

[Collin]

Thanks, I think I'm more aiming for a size 32-33. My pair of O2 in size 31 became a little bit tighter than I woud like unfortunately

Any denim or vintage stores worth visiting in Rome?

[ATWM]

I would go to Simos (word of mouth) studio. Then ask him that question.

As lovely as this sounds it’s a whole family gathering I probably would not have the time for this kind of thing. Could probably justify an “accidental” encounter with a shop in the city while walking though.

Anyone here in the EU (more specifically France) that could help me with a proxy?
Trying to get a pair of JM Weston loafers from their outlet.

It looks the same as Iron Heart, Real McCoys and, I think, also Full Count.
So only a proxy works, I think.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Geeman you could try here

https://kura.fashionstore.jp/categories/492692

 

Or look through the vendor information and check who else would ship internationally

I think hinoyas prices to the UK already include tax? Try to check that.

Have any of our US members ordered from Cultizm recently? I'm wondering what kind of tariffs are charged?

I guess it's supposed to be 10% from Germany but I'd like to be sure.

I ordered a leather jacket from Cultizm very recently, like a month ago, total cost of jacket was 1,086 dollars, and total tariff cost from UPS including their processing fee was 191 dollars. I think the tariff portion alone was 171 dollars even. Pretty steep. 

Edited May 19 by Abochka

[CSL]

Thanks for that input, Abochka.
So it looks closer to 20%, all in.

Are there any more denim contests upcoming?

Im looking to get back into the swing of things with a new pair.

Any historical information on the chambray shirt? I’m guessing they started with the US Navy?

Edited May 24 by mlwdp

[julian-wolf]

Like…chambray shirts in general? I don’t know any of the actual history, but I’d be surprised if they weren’t a lot older than the US

[ATWM]

Navy adopted them around the turn of the 19th to 20th century but yes they are way older than that - as a fabric it’s a plain weave and is essentially so basic and old and has been done with various fibers that from what I’ve seen there’s no good, super concrete history around it, but the name is tied to Cambrai region of northern France.

Anyone have advice to lighten a pair of jeans with bleach ?

I've never done it and I would like to try on a pair.

• Better soak a pair in the bathtub with a cup or two ? If yes, how much time ?
• Would just adding a itty bit of bleach in a regular machine wash would work better ?
