Those are the ones I Have (I opted for attached pocket. It owns. Easy to sneak candy into movies). I just bought these.

I've been spending too much time (and money) on zenmarket.jp recently. The Japanese to English translations seem to periodically disappear, but when they do show I can usually make a stab at what the listing says. It took me a while to realize that 'Food stored in Jacket' meant it had a built in hood rather than it had been used as a makeshift bento box, but I'm totally flummoxed by 'manure state' - any ideas?

If you're buying a bow tie, they could be trying to sell you a **** bow.

This is actually a really solid idea. I may just very well do this.


Hundred bucks says if you have this done and tell her you exchanged it for a large she will proclaim how well it fits and rub it in your face telling you she was right.

Though you and your style forum brethren will ultimately have the last laugh, behind her back of course.

Speaking of zenmarket, anyone know what this means?


Unblock request is being processed. Our staff will do the best to process it in the shortest time. You will receive a message about our decision. If it is affirmative, you will be able to buy item or make a bid on the item from this page.

I'm assuming it means that someone else on zenmarket has also bid on the item. FWIW, I've e-mailed them about it, but the auction ends within eights hours so I'm a little anxious about getting a bid in now.

EDIT - It's gone now and I was able to put the bid through as normal. I can now go to bed in peace.

If a seller suddenly gets a number of poor feedbacks they'll sometimes put a request block on (if they're very bad they'll completely stop you bidding). Items that might not ship overseas can have request blocks too - I came across a Paraffin waxed jacket, presumably blocked for 'Paraffin'.

If you want the experience of wearing a Paraffin coated jacket without actually owning one, just wrap yourself in Saran wrap. I had one and it was absolutely awful.
