45rpm

[FlowableFill]

So the shirt I wanted was sold out in all the U.S. stores but available in Japan. So I used zenmarket and the total cost with shipping to the U.S. was about $80 less than what the shirt was selling for in the U.S. stores. No returns though...

Does anyone know if this tag is legit? Haven't seen it elsewhere.

Hey! speaking of. There's this photo of you with a glorious 45rpm cardigan… can't seem to find it anymore. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Looks like the same yarn/might even be the same sweater.

Such a beautiful piece! I got excited when I stumbled upon one earlier today until I realized it was the women’s version ?‍♂️

We are looking at the same thing! but I totally didn't know there were two versions ? thank god I hadn't started bidding yet.

Looks like Nickpollica's cardi has a button (hole) while the others don't. Did you put that in yourself?

Also here's one for men's but the cleaning label is different from the other one. So not sure if legit or not: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/1001889715

Oh, I thought men's = button, women's = string.

 

[Valfunde]

AH, well, I'm not totally sure myself. Just saw it under the men's category.

 

[DoubleDouble]

Ouch.

Speaking of haunting my dreams...they made this yarn dyed indigo corduroy trouser a couple fall's back that was sold out in my size by the time I saw it. The fabric was amazing. I searched everywhere for something similar and came up short. Funny enough, the next season I went to my Takihyo (a Japanese fabric agent that represents a few mills that produce for 45) appointment and ended up finding a very similar quality (maybe the same) so we are running it as suit separates for this coming fall. It was one of the only things I ordered for myself ahead of time.

FYI they have a pair of indigo corduroy pants again "for the first time in 10 years". Looks like it is more workwear-y than previous iterations, but still very beautiful!

Damn, I gotta proxy a pair of those.
