I heard that dealers outside of Japan have to buy from a Julius distributor based in Europe that makes unreasonable demands on quantity that must be ordered, etc.
Errr no, Julius set up a showroom in Paris every fashion week and fly their own people and use their usual pr firm (Totem) like every ******* company in the world. They have the new stuff and line sheets and whatever and you make your order. If you don't like it well no Julius but no Balenciaga or Rick Owens either, the process is very similar everywhere. People on sf gotta stop repeating the weird crap they hear from anonymous sources. As for prices well what can I say, Margiela is a global company and it is still way less expensive in Europe; it's the nature of the fashion beast. Julius pricing are in-line with their costs and yes, carried at prestigious stores with somewhat stiff markups; they're a fashion line with runway shows sold at exclusive boutiques, not on the same level as LM or DBSS IMHO (who both show in Japan and are still pretty good). For the record many Japanese companies have either individual or multi-label showrooms in Paris and/or Milan, from Visvim to N Hoolywood. YY has a beautiful space but he's YY.

Not sure I understand, do you mean that if people didn't post bullshit no one would correct them by giving good info?

 

[indesertum]

wait, no. people should post more bullshit posts just so you can correct them. otherwise we might never hear the info at all. just read roac? roak? i forget how its spelled's post.

you might as well travel to japan for 2.2+x markup on julius leather. probably would pay for it an dmore

the thing about you is that you can carry off interesting combinations that would not work on other (younger?) people, it's to do with your face somehow. you have a certain character and gravity that makes it possible.
Fair enough... I get the slight feeling you are calling me old!

Seriously, though, thanks.

LOL! Are you serious, xenox? Have you ever worn a suit jacket? Most of your WAYWT comments are tl;dr, but I notice that you never can make a comment about someone's fit without nitpicking at something. In this case (well, many times), I just smh...

+1, sorry to pile on but Xenox you seem to be the victim of more self inflicted damage than anyone else on SF. It is worth your time to evaluate why that is the case. no hate.

zis I liked your fit and thought the relaxed trousers and slim jacket looked good together.

soonami, jacket looks fine, you are sort of leaning over a bit so it may be affecting how the pic looks.

gutman, jeans look fine

yeah probably right, these were sized down for when i was slimmer. still xmas should fix that...

Shirt w/ barbed wire + red leather too much maybe. Unzip the jacket, make the tshirt thick and white and 1 inch longer than the jacket. Lemme know if you disagree, I plan on wearing a moto in Spring.
