    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    Yep, and obviously you are smarter than me. Just wanted to advise others who are buying from SBoy that they should add the additional costs to amount paid so there are no surprises. If you're in Ontario, you know that you will pay duties of up to 20%-30% (check the tariffs chart) + HST 13% +...

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    Thought I would share this when I asked Sneakerboy about how packages are marked: "I can advise that the value of the package is marked as per the price that the order is purchased at". So consider adding any applicable customs, duties and taxes for your country to your item.

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    David, when you have a moment after you are done with the CNY festivities, would be interested in hearing more about your new pieces since I will likely never handle these in person. From previous posts, I thought you were a size 3 so did you size down to a 2 because the pieces were fitting...

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    Ok that makes sense now. The pairs I tried definitely were not the wrap version then. Hide-san seems to have gone MIA these days so need to find a new proxy. But without the actual codes, it's hard to tell the proxy what to look for as there seems to be a few variations of the same pant with...

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    Can one of the resident experts point out the details that makes one pair a wrap vs. tuck? And anyone know what the japanese retail is on the above? The local store received their 1st drop and they had 2 similar pairs of the above pants in wool gab + 1 in rayon. One of the wool gabs used a...

    Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

    From experience with 3 RO (1xFW08, 2xFW10), I would want the shoulders to fit. I had one of my FW10 that I had to sell off as it was too tight in the shoulders.

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    Thanks for all the great posts. I had a chance to view some of the FW12 pieces here and I can't say that I was impressed. It was too hot to try anything on so these impressions are from examining the pieces on the rack. Here are my brief thoughts and in brackets, I've included the online store...

    SS13 is live now. It looks like a version of the hakamas are back but what's the story with the cut & bruised looks?

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    Shah - I like both but agree about the thicker sole on the Ann D giving it some more character. Asobu - thanks for the posts on the past seasons and the breakdown by year on the codes. Very informative and a great reference.

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    No pics but went by a local store here in Singapore who has a small selection of Yohji left at 30% off. Pricing is not great due to extra landing costs. If anyone is looking for the hakamas in the blue jersey cotton, this store still had 2 pairs left in size 3. I think it's a real blessing when...

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    David, the TFS post date was from 2005. One thing I do appreciate about that post is that he was willing to speak up and say what was on his mind. It's a cultural thing not to speak up and to have that type of discussion with a senior company representative would not be readily accepted. At...

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    re: the previous post from TFS "The disdain that I felt was that of his unwillingness to modernize his image". I believe we are all entitled to an opinion and perhaps this could have been said in a different way. The poster had his own ideas as to what modernization of the Yohji brand and image...

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    Agree with others, great fit pics all around. I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates the pics as a way to help us 'newbies' in how we can incorporate Yohji into our everyday wear. It certainly helps me with ideas as to how it can mixed and matched with other non-Yohji pieces. Re: the...

    Yohji, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Looser Fit (Yohji Yamamoto Thread)

    Thanks to everyone who responded about the green Napolean jacket. The green looks much lighter in the runway pic, but then again I imagine they used much brighter lights. I'll see if I can get the store to take some pics in daylight for reference. Also how many variations of the hakama pants...
