is it possible to swap the black zippers to silver or gunmetal zippers in a 5 zip? It's pretty rare for me to obtain 5 zip size 44 my size in silver/gunmetal zippers.

I will probably ask for input when the margiela arrives on Monday, so I am just going to wear out my welcome for a while with self indulgent posts....

There is a size 46 Margiela on Yoox for $850, just sayin'.

I have the same one in 52. It's horsehide, smooth when new but turns grainy like real horsehide. Colour turns from dark pink to burgundy. No underarm slits like usual 5-zips, fits slim and shortish, big shoulders.

(only in Aus Yoox)

i wouldn't call russia a 3rd world country, developing yes but far from 3rd world and isnt moscow the most expensive city in the world?

Hey man. I was being a bit sarcastic. I have love/hate relationship with this country and I tend to be bashing it from time to time. It has 3rd world mentality and 3rd world government (to be brief, and not to go into many details). And yes, Moscow is probably one of the most expensive cities in the world. That sucks though, doesn't it?

Those RO and MMM talk are hilarious.

Only one I've owned. Considering selling it now.. but I'm quite attached to it.

I just noticed the pen marks as I was snapping these pictures. I'm a little sad about it, although there's a reason I never knew it was there, in 3 years.. it's well inside the breast pocket.

Got to say, that doesn't look too good. The jacket looks way too cropped and I think the ribbing in the bottom being so wide (or just the ribbing itself?) makes it look shorter that it really is. Might look better worn open but I'd just return it.

Pics of mine worn.

Thanks, it is a size 48 so I knew that I was pushing it a bit, especially since it seems to be designed to fit short when worn true to size. Oh well.

I got the 5zip in a 50. That viscose 5zip in navy I posted that I posted in RP about a month ago was a 48, and people basically laughed at how bad it looked, which they were right about....so I wasn't going to try the 5zip in a 50.

I bought it from oki-ni. I called DHL and they said it cleared customs and no duties would be due on the shipment. If that is the case, it will turn out to be a half decent price.

Even if duties are due, I will still be okay as oki-ni removed VAT.
