I assume most of the cost premium is going to Hiroki's vintage car and motorcycle collection.

Hiroki on his way to the bank...

...and then checking his next buy for "deep quality".

Hope folks don't mind my posting this legit check on what is supposed to be a 17AW ICT Kerchief Jacket. The look of the labels - and the number "009" - worry me a bit, so I wondered if anyone had this item and could input. Thanks to the community in advance.

Thanks for the response, @Emixam Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the Japanese side. As for the number, the only 17AW ICT Kerchief down jackets in blue I could find on the net seem to end 003. Otherwise, the numbering was the same. Not sure I know the import of the final number, but I found it odd that I could only find this 009 (although oddly one more 009 appeared on my Facebook feed just today - don't think I am being spied on by my phone, do you o_O?!)

Actually, I just found another example of a sold item off Grailed with the 009 and a similar label (https://www.grailed.com/listings/8021443-visvim-kerchief-down-jacket-navy), so maybe I am just being overly cautious? I thought maybe the size label ought to have red lines by 17AW, but maybe not (or maybe not on ICT items). Did you see nothing particularly suspect in the label, then?

Nice! I guess the 008 may reference the colour? Anyway, @Retlas - wondering, how does this fit? True to size?
Also, is there any colouring on the inside lining, or just monochrome? And are there any red lines on the size label?
TIA!

Not sure it's the colour code as my blue one (AW21) is 013 at the end.

but... it fits TTS if a touch narrow in the shoulders. The current version is over sized.

There are colours on the lining ... faint blues and reds

no red dots on the size label unlike my new blue one

isn't the English side also supposed to have the care instructions sentences printed below the wash symbols ?

Not sure, but they weren’t on that one sold on Grailed I mentioned above. So, maybe not? (Unless was a fake 🤔).

Actually both the Grailed one and the one I am looking at seem to have two labels, so maybe those care instructions are on the second label? Seems like yours, @Retlas has just a single label … more and more mysterious …!
