This narrative is tired. China does some of the highest quality apparel production in the world, has some of the biggest, most high-tech manufacturers, and in many cases, is the only place with the capability to make certain garments at scale. Even brands like Visvim make some stuff in China, and I'm pretty sure Hiroki doesn't give two ***** about whether a garment comes out affordable on the consumer's side.

does anyone like the sized anti-expo fit? i love it in the body, but it feels a little too snug in the chest and a little too short in the arms.

i'm wondering if the uniform LA version of this is more TTS

Tossed on the icons today.

Do they come with Parachute/Beige colored laces?

Nah just the white. But the material is a little different around the cushioning, insole, and the inner lace holes.

@j023 do you think the washing treatment of the nicasio group will reduce the “swishing” sound?

 

[stolenbikes]

Not gonna lie this Nicasio group stuff is the first thing in about a year that I felt like I HAD to have from JE

Same. I really want that parka but 1200 is a little steep for me right now. Looks really warm too and I don’t need a super warm parka that bad. The bomber looks real nice too. Hopin I can catch one on sale.

Not a chance.

Not a chance.

It is actually quite different, it does not have the high shrunk process, which lends to the crunchier texture. These have noticeably less noise.

It's a completely different fabric.

For those who own the jets, should I go tts? I went tts 33 in carbons and they fit well.

sorry but I wouldn't trust quality out of china. Maybe would be a good place if I wanted a fake version of something though.
