Found a boots in eBay which already ended but just curious whether it's authentic or not
http://www.ebay.com/itm/291466783878?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

seller said that box and bag are included
They are real - they are this one model sold by mr. Porter : http://www.mrporter.com/en-it/mens/...ts/516594?cm_sp=we_recommend-_-516594-_-slot4
I find their shape quite ugly although,due to the additional leather panel on the upper; the wyatt version of the chelseas are way better.

what does it matter if already ended?

unless you are the buyer in which case you should have done your research before buying instead of potentially wasting the sellers time / money and backing out of the deal afterwards.

hate people like you on ebay.

if you want to try on at home etc pay more and buy from stores / websites so you get these privileges.

they look real to me.

look fake to me. the elastic material on the sides has a different shape than on the mrporter pictures. Look on the top of the ankle part of the shoes, on mrporter, the leather is higher than the elastic part, on ebay they are aligned. The ones on mrporter has a seam under the elastic part, the ones on ebay don't. The heel looks really ugly on the ebay pictures. Also the box cover doesn't look like the original.

Yeah genuine. And honestly, it's not a popular enough model for them to bother faking really.

Sorry I don't have my measuring tape, but my MiJ black D02's are significantly (well maybe 1-1.5cms) tighter than my washed MiI D02s, which I ended up getting tapered to be as identical as possible. Both are size 30. Maybe it has more to do with raw vs. washed denim.


Ah ha... much appreciated.
I've noticed a lot of the jeans are MiI. Hopefully the washed MiI's fit tighter than the raws.

the fit depends a lot more on the season than on where it's made. mij and mii differ more for raws, where the mij are cut quite a bit narrower.

Yeah, I just bought a random cheap pair on sale from LVR. SS 2014 MiI, I think it's washed? Hopefully they'll fit. It's a really ****** wash though. Plain ugly grey black, no wonder it's on sale hahahaha.

On that note, which year/season fits the tightest/loosest?

Is (almost) all SLP denim production moving to Italy? It's either that or they keep the MIJ in boutiques/select retailers.

Tightest surely FW13, loosest probably this spring summer 2015.

Huh? I would say more than half the denim available online is MIJ. All the Raws and Ripped Hems, Destroyed, etc are all MIJ. I've only seen a few MII and it's just certain washes and reissues.

fw13/14 was the smallest cut season for jeans, ss13 for jackets. since then the cuts are nearly one full size bigger, especially on jeans and leathers. i remember i could barely get the original crash jeans over my thighs in my normal size :)
