yeah the darker colored derbies are definitely in the handmade Augusta/CCP'ish realm sometimes, and the boots are amazing. They will go further stylistically than both the gothninja **** or workwear, definitely, they really apply to neither wholeheartedly, and yet some styles look good with both. rare gems.

Will wait for the Japanese economy to collapse. Until then, Dayton better finish those damn boots

 

[impolyt_one]

you should be hoping for it to revitalize - it's been in collapse and so **** be expensive. You should also hope to the stars that you get your Dayton boots, lol.

 

[ceoceo]

I lost hope in both American and Korean economy so Im just waiting for Japan's total collapse when 10000 jpy would be like 10 bucks
As for Dayton I am going to set the factory on fire if it doesn't finish the boots by the end of this week. 4months waiting for defect and another 4 months of waiting rofl

 

[impolyt_one]

dude. it's collapsed already, that's not how macro works

 

[ceoceo]

fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu RIP my 2 years of Econ classes... I thought the currency is **** because the econ is **** and Japanese people keep the money to themselves so


oh i see

I don't really know anything about these. They're probably here, but if they're imported from outside of Japan, they're going to be more expensive. Proxying is best for items made in Japan, particularly items made and sold only within Japan. New European fashion, old American items, these are more expensive here by at least double.

Yea stax is a Japanese brand dating back decades that's why I brought it up, ill keep an eye on y!jp

they're 22,859Y shipped to the USA, all fees in. That one is a Large, and I'll post the p2p and sleeve and body lengths on it for a baseline and then we can talk about other sizes in case you're not a Large. They also have a dark speckled fabric with contrast rib that looks very W+H'ish but nicer obviously, it's a really nice hoody too. I'd guess it's the same price.
This LW is really the nicest hoody I've ever seen in my life, I'm wearing a W+H right now and it seems so ****** in comparison. I weighed out the LW on my scale and it weighs about 800g's, so about 2lbs for this 100% cotton hoody. That's pretty serious.

Geez, when did the YEN get so strong or the CAD get so weak. Can vouch for the loopwheeler, had one proxy to me years ago.

^ Yen is slowly suffocating itself IMO.

By the way thank you Drew for Kopblocking me from further purchase by introducing me to the moto's boots. I am saving up money starting from next year for a pair by the end of 2013 (part of new year's resolution)

Just did my first in-store pickup for somebody today, from first email to purchase and bringing it home it was about 16 hours; pic to celebrate:

That's mine, can't wait til it comes in.

Loopwheeler is so dope, I've worn the hell out of the black zip hoody and a grey crewneck that I bought 4 years ago. The more you wash and wear them, the softer and more comfortable they get. Like Drew said, the quality is AMAZING.

i`m lookin for a seiko scvs013 blue spark.

[indesertum]

^they're so pretty

I just wanted to say that impolyt is a great proxy. He proxied a Juun J coat a while back and he was great to deal with.

How much are handmade celluloid frames in Japan? I picked up a pair in Korea and they ran me 500 or so. Wondering if they're cheaper in Japan.

They start at 20,000 and go up, I think most stay under 30,000Y i believe. They're gonna be cheaper than Korea though, I think, because back then they used to charge about double in Korea for those (or any other imports)
