    18 East Buy-Sell-Trade Thread

    Anyone need a new Helly Hooded shell in coyote, sz S? You may remember this for having a block printed cotton ripstop lining whose pattern is subtle when dry and fully expressed when wet. Not that I would know, bc I never got around to wearing it. Original retail was $265 and just looking to...

    Self Belted Easy Pant from D1 / 2018 - Caramel Brown Corduroy XS, looking for $120 shipped in the US These are from the debut drop of 18 East. It was 2018 and the living was easy, but we probably didn’t appreciate it back then. Fast forward to 2021 and these pants are hitting so nicely...

    I've had some limited dealings with UPS custom brokerage in the US - I believe here it is a flat fee on top of the duties. My understanding is you don't have to use their services, you can warrant yourself as the importer and go through the paperwork yourself. I suppose if you have time on your...

    anyone have any thoughts on the new pants sizing? I thought I read there was a move to bring them more "true"; based on the khadi work pants, they seem to run a half size big rather than a full size. although I suppose if they were piece dyed indigo then maybe there is some shrinkage? so just...

    hey anyone else getting a weird accessibility pop-up on the webshop? Happening on two different systems with two different browsers (Chrome / Safari) so guessing I can't be the only one?

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

    btw, I'd 100% expect your luck in filing a chargeback to completely vary depending on your card issuer and possibly whom you get on the phone. sort of curious if anyone's had direct experience with American Express, they usually take care of their customers

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

     been following this thread off and on, it's sort of horrifying but you can't take your eyes off of it, like watching a car crash in slow motion. the above bit was interesting to me - I had been notified in May my jacket was ready to ship but it didn't go out until early September. I don't...

    The (hopefully) definitive thread on NYC tailors

    My Wilfred's experience - I needed to get sleeves of a jacket shortened at the shoulder because it had functioning buttonholes. After reading this thread I decided to try out Wilfred's - during the consultation they seemed to know what they were doing so I was pretty comfortable with it. When...

    J.M. Weston semi-round belts

    since when are they charging $575 for a calfskin model?!?!?!?!!! am i completely cracked in remembering these were low 300s two years ago? sorry but i finally decided to pull the trigger and feel the need to vent. hopefully the UK price will be a little more manageable what with the pound...

    yeah, there's a minor amount of heel slippage but they're fine - maybe technically a 1/4 size too big. if they were dress shoes it might be annoying but not a problem to chunk out on the socks in these bad boys. tho i should say i personally think i'm closer to 8E than 8EE, both seem to fit...
