*** Visvim thread: Dissertation on a Japanese Holy Spirit ***

[grs]

View attachment 2025417 I can’t tell if these are black jeans that are fade resistant or fade to grey

Pretty sure they are some variation of the overdye denim iterations. Either that or a CMYK pair. The O.V.N.D. dissertation has an example of CMYK that faded similarly. Do not think fluxus will look like that over time.

That particular 101 looks good to me but the account is very sus. Many listings in the account are fake.
I suppose these type of account (many on jp mercari) are proxies like DMC99 on grailed. Stuff they listed arent in their hands, maybe they are listing from other platform.

anyone know when F.I.L. vs Free International Laboratory is written on out tags? I saw an Amplus Gradient Knit sweater on multiple retail sites with as Free International Laboratory vs. some on ebay showing F.I.L. would this be an indicator of fakes?

i remember seeing free internation laboratory written out on the tags for the quilted Dotera (here in europe)...
https://www.firmamentberlin.com/visvim/28453/visvim-dotera-down-coat.html as an example... but it was an outlier IMO

That is fake

 

[Blancpain]

Those are really good fake tags, not sure I would have guessed it. Scary

 

[Retlas]

agreed... very good. Although its the word visvim on the underside that looks off

 

[discobobulated]

I have the green one of these but can't remember it in this colour. There was black and beige and the more brown hand knit version. This seems like a lot of work for fake and they are getting better at it. Scary.
