Can anyone comment on how the Jumbo Hoodies fit from ~2017?

I have a SS101 jacket in Size 3 from FW21 that fits me relaxed and I usually take Size S / XS in most other brands. Would a Size 1 Jumbo Hoodie be too small if I want a classic / relaxed fit?

do you have other Visvim stuff? I’m a smedium and usually wear size 2 although recently I’ve been taking a 1 in oversized stuff. I’d say the 2 in Jumbo fits like a classic regular fit medium.

Hey all, I'm new to the brand and really liking the zig-zag / charlie brown sweater in the lookbook and was wondering how realistic it would be to get this piece. Is there a recommended proxy service / way to get F.I.L items if you don't live in Japan (currently living in east coast USA)?

From googling I get the sense that F.I.L. items are rare enough that I should just forget about them and pray they show up on grailed, etc. down the line, but figured I'd ask the community first.

FIL exclusive just means that the item is only stocked at official Visvim stores. They’re only rare, comparatively, in the past cause there were no stores in the US.

My bet is you’ll have no issue getting one if you go through a proxy (SampleKickz or Human Behavior are well known). I’ve never used either so can’t give a personal rec.

This looks legit to me. Take the same size in the jumbo as you do the amplus. They're both oversized by the amplus is wider and shorter versus the jumbo which is just big. I much prefer the amplus as a 5'9 dude because the jumbo length is too long even in a size 3. I'm usually a 4 and take 3 in both amplus and jumbo.

thanks man! i think i could fit into a size 3 in the amplus but it might be shorter than what i would like, i'm 5'10. hopefully i can try out a jumbo hoodie in store one of these days for my sure.

Awesome thank you! I'll check those out and keep the thread updated if it works out.

really like the collar on the Levinson Fishtail. Not sure i could spend that much on it though. Maybe one I wait to see if goes in the sale if it comes to UK stores

Just picked up these Brigadiers in the sale. Much prefer the regular leather ones but prices on those always crazy so settled on a suede one. Never was a fan of how strong the contrast was on the white stitching with these black ones but on feet not that noticeable.



got a Kofu Kerchief coming. I've gambled a bit on a size 3 but picked up for £1800 ish which compared to most listings a good deal so worst case I just sell on
