Anyone try on the 24ss eton or the dunlop it jackets irl? I'm super torn on sizing. Usually tend to go size 3 for most outerwear but also size up to 4 depending on the body length or cut. Would love to hear what ppl think about the jackets in general or how they fit on body.

Does anyone have the FW2020 styling lookbook (the one shot against the white background)? Please PM me if you do...

I would like a copy as well…TIA

Anyone tried the Carroll Pants? Looking at the recent SS24 release. How much give is there in the waist?

 

[Fycus]

Not the ss24, but im pretty sure theyre slant pockets rather than patch pockets now which per the team give a slimmer look, but I believe measurements are the same. If the older pairs are any indication, the elastic is pretty loose/forgiving, but limited in the waistband since there are only two small elastic sections. I'm a 33 waist normally and need to wear a belt with the size 3's.

To anyone that’s on the fence about getting the silk/cotton blend amplus, I highly recommend them. I preordered the blue and off white. I’ve been wearing the hell outta them.

I know Visvim prices have been going up, but just checked Purple Label prices and they seem to have gone up a minimum of 10,000 yen for pair of pants, representing a nearly 30% increase. Are all JP brands increasing prices that much?

do you think you'll need to baby them in terms of washing? I machine wash my cotton vis hoodies so not excited abt having to actually hand wash...

Naw, i washed them on gentle and had no issue. I just didn’t dry. My washer also doesn’t have an agitator in the middle.

Could use some feedback re: breaking in the latest iteration of T.W.O boots. I sized up by half a size, solid room in the toe box and some movement in the heel - but walking around the city today was rough past the 30 minute mark. I'm hoping I didn't size down too much; is it generally known that the T.W.O boots require some time to break in? My Grizzlies were comfortable from the get go.

Taking another shot in case people didn't see my previous post! Anyone owns the Eton jacket from Visvim? Either lamb or horse hide. How slim do these fit? The measurements look like I need to size up but I'm unsure because I haven't tried them on. Typically wear size 3 or 4 depending on cut, 5ft 10in and 170 pounds. Any advice on whether I should go with a 3 or 4 for the 24ss Eton?

I have the original release eton from SS22. It's horween horse leather, size 3. I take between 3 and 4 in visvim tops - typically a 3. It fits slimmer than the average 3 due to the arm holes and shoulders. Definitely a glove-like fit, which I like. The 4 was massive on me.

The newer releases (2022 onwards) are mindblowingly uncomfortable. My first pair from FW20 fits like a comfortable slipper. I have a FW23 pair as well and even after a month of wear they're very tough on the feet after a day in the office.
