Does buying from Urban Outfitters Vintage section really count as thrifting?

[telluride11]

that gregory pack is B.A.D.

LOL, forgive me I guess, I use that word whenever I find a vintage gem anywhere, regardless whether I got it from a thrift store or not. Sorry officer.

Fjallraven stuff on context is looking good, would it be cheaper to proxy though? Seems kind of pricey.

they are opening a store in NY in a month...

[Dead_Wizard]

Oy, looks like White Mountaineering is going off the deep end come spring...

[telluride11]

i got a fjallraven xpedition in red medium if anyone's super interested

[vamks]

Didn't even know I won this. I offered at a pretty decent price and didn't expect the seller to accept. Super stoked, hopefully my search is over (this might fit ridiculously small though, if so then I'll just place it in my closet as a "collection" piece)

That is sick. The color combos on these class 5 anoraks are incredible.

Welcome to the Standard of The World club my friend. Blue plaid is looking sick. [edit] Wow, I just checked out the ebay pics and the blue plaid is amazing!

Great find, at a reasonable price. That's the type of shit I would definitely hang onto even if it doesn't fit. If you don't want it, I might scoop it off you, but you should for sure keep it.

CLASS 5!

On the techwear front, I find these offerings from Klattermusen very interesting.

Haha! Thanks man. I'll see how it fits.

My word, that's ridiculously pricey. Wonder if it's just because it's imported into Japan or if it's really that pricey.

[chingon]

after peeping that reversible Class 5 joint I checked Ebay and picked up a Class 5 down puffer jacket for $20, in bright blue to boot

[Dead_Wizard]

Klattermusen's website is great, tons of info on their tech fabrics and sizing

http://www.klattermusen.se

Pricing is pretty extreme.

Search continues for a dope puffer, Chingon, did you buy the size small one that was up?

[chingon]

no, it was a size medium, this one

[dralfonzo]

vamks that anorak is killer, very jealous

[vamks]

thanks man, pretty excited for it to arrive.

in the mean time, i have my nikwax that i might treat some pieces with. I might try to actually use these vintage pieces as actual outdoor pieces for a change.

[U MAD]

I got that st. john's bay parka. Was pretty soggy until I scotch guarded it. all good now, but I put a big rip in the arm when I snagged it on a stainless windowsill. gonna patch it somehow I dunno yet. Apparently there's iron on patches you can get but maybe I'll put a punk patch on with some shoe goo or something. Will snap a pic eventually.

Anyone know where you can find, in the US, Bemidji items that were made for the Japanese market. Why does that market seem to have such a hold on something so American (also Redwing, Filson, ect...)

No, but now I want to know as well. Damn You!

[iamstarwars]

I would just ask the people in Bemidji. If I remember well, they can make custom orders and they also sell directly their products. Maybe they could help you?

Here's their website:

^Yeah, literally just did a search in a matter of 5 seconds and came up with the same conclusion. You can even get this pretty bad ass coat. Just do some emailing, you'll be surprised as to how far that can get you.

I think only a personal visit to Minnesota would turn up some results. Thanks for the web address, did you happen to click the link, site is pretty much the Brooklyn Hospital of customer service.

Ripped from some edition of Non-No. Liked these.
