Kapital - hippies, Japanese farmers and post-apocalypse survivors

[wearingjeans]

Does anyone know the backstory of Kapital STB? At first I thought it was that car part company but Googled it and that's STP. I think they've used this before but I couldn't find anything with a search.

I think it's "8TB" and the "T" looks like a mushroom to me

Thanks, you're right. I Googled it and still couldn't find a backstory.

I think it's just a goofy print knock off mimicking STP, I don't think it really has any real rhyme or reason but maybe it does?

Anyone know about when the new Kapital collection starts coming out? I think S/S24 pretty much all the way out now.

Hi all, I'm interested in purchasing a Ring Coat and would prefer to go the used route to save some money. Do I need to worry about fakes on eBay and Grailed? Anything in particular to look for?

I dunno that Ring coats are faked tbh? Old old ones have rings instead of buttons, I prefer the button versions personally. Sizing matters most for length imo.

Sadly they are. I asked for a LC on the ripstop alpine one in here and that user (forgot his name) who made a thread on how to spot fakes on reddit showed it was fake pointing out all the discrepancies.

That was an uncommon make too, if they faked that I'm sure they faked the others. I just assume a lot of the stuff on Gr@iled, Poshmark, etc are fakes especially the smiley and bone stuff

Damn that’s nuts. Well if you’re looking for a 2 I’ve got a couple I don’t wear that much.

Many thanks guys.

There are definitely fake Ring Coats out there, but they're a lot less common than other replicas like the bone knits, sham bombers, etc. Most older Ring Coats are safe, but if you have any concerns just post photos here and I should be able to help you out.

Edit:

Alternatively, you can check out the reference guide I made a while back:

It's admittedly been a while since I've updated it, but it should suffice for legit-checking for the most part.

Thanks, I'm a 3 and I'm only interested in the ripstop one as its probably the coolest (temperature) wearing one.

I bought a second hand RJ recently (older model with the metal loop buttons).

Not sure if you're still looking, but apart from what's been said already, a dead giveaway with Ring Jacket fakes I've seen was the hardware is terrible.
