Amazing stuff, but slightly too tight for me... will try to send them back, unless someone's interrested.

PM me, i'm all ears!

Can't see it written anywhere on mine. Don't think they're made in China though.

[i-am-kelvin]

need a quick opinion. Is the visvim homer tote bag unisex ?

[halberdklown]

MatBoy, did you check behind the tongue? mine have it written on there as Made in China. frankly i was surprised, didnt think they'd be made there

[MYR1981]

Mine are made in China also. I think that is misleading though. They are top notch quality if you ask me.

[MatBoy]

Will check more carefully later, but couldn't see it when i checked yesterday.

those must be some niiice profit margins

[dvp]

I think that china as a nation is at a crossroads in quality of manufacturing. The issue is that the brand equity of the nation is still low. As they have a non uniform baseline of quality. Made in Japan used to elicit the same response that made in China does today. The issue is not simply whether something was made in China, but where in the nation state it was produced and under what quality control scheme.

I think this is a personal and regional question. I think that it is unisex in that it is not obviously styled for either gender. I have considered copping the orange one. I know in some parts of the world totes are unisex by definition. I many regions of the USA it might get stares, but who cares rock what you want and shrug off the less enlightened.

Agreed, in addition to the fact there are more and more joint ventures between Chinese and Japanese companies which combines the best of both worlds.

[bakatora]

anyone know when more ss10 info will be released? or have any that was already released aside from the small previews featured on slamxhype/hypebeast/etc?

[Playahater]

S/S10 starts on the 30th of this month.

cosign.

however, the profit margins must still be obscenely big compared to making their shoes in visvim's homeland of japan or even korea.

considering how much they talk about their worldwide sourcing of the best materials, its just surprising for many to see them manufacturing in china. especially while their prices move up every season. maybe the material cost have to be offset by the manufacturing?

compare them to nom de guerre, who despite moving production to japan, have proposed a distribution solution to lower their prices this upcoming season.

[hiatus]

anyone have sizing experience with the abarths or any laceless moc folks from the past?

[halberdklown]

anyone think the 09 valdez is worth it?

i'm wondering the same question as well...

how would there product move to China (much cheaper cost) produce the price can be higher that much season by season.... i used to working as a garment department and get enough knowledge regarding the different with the cost from China making or Japan or Euro~

for example a piece of shirt produce by China will cost for US$2 dollars ~

but as the same thing produce by Japan going cost for US$8-10 dollars.

i have no idea how expensive did they bought there material for~ but one thing for sure that China able to provide the fastest deadline schedule & lowest cost to the company prospect.

ps: Went to Joyce(hong kong) find that the Mastermind x Visvim skagway cost HK$ 6900 (which appro US$ 840)~ canvas material with MIC (Made in china) product .

Worth it or not? depend on you .

At ¥123,900 retail, fuck no. Would rather get the Claudius Insulator for more than half price.

What is the sizing like in Folk Virgil Boots?

I wear a 9-9.5 in all Visvim shoes... Any help is appreciated.

[halberdklown]

[JesBa]

I can only imagine how you would rock these. At leastI'm not one of the many people that hate you tho.

[halberdklown]

are the e-cats waterproof? starting to get annoyed by these random showeres southern cali has been getting lately

[pennyoka]

They are not technically waterproof, I don't think, but the tight weave of the codura does a pretty good job of keeping water out. I think in SoCal it should be fine for light showers, not sure about heavy rain though.
