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

[_Taisho]

Ouch! This is a pretty good fake. They have done a decent job with the tags, too!

Biggest give away was the fabric, it’s no where near the real g cord
Everything else was also easy to tell if you know what to look for

In order to aid a project, I'm considering letting a few prized pieces go. Thought this maybe the best place to post, or maybe Grailed, but not sure if the latter is used much these days.

Any interest, do let me know. I'm after reasonable money for the vest considering how rare it is, and the materials used. It's a signed IT piece, Italian cashmere, filled with 100% down (excellent quality, think its Polish but could be Hungarian, can't recall), reversible to an amazing vintage African Indigo Kuba cloth. In my opinion, Hiroki at his very best. A work of sartorial art.

It's a size 3.

The Nomad was a spot FIL release, also a size 3. I'm thinking of letting that go too.

You don't see many of these. Drop me a message if interested.

Any concerns then I'm sure there's a few on here that can vouch for me.

Is the nomad gortex?

Not Gore-tex. Spot FIL release, cotton herringbone in olive, with corduroy detail. I ordered this around 2014/2015.

This one hurts a bit. gonna try and embrace the wabi-sabi patina. Anyone have any indigo stain removal tips? Mainly just worried abt dye transfer onto other items from my Charlie.

i'm not sure exactly what fabric that is, but I find this stuff really good for gentle fabrics.

The perils of raw denim on light coloured fabric. The problem is with this being a bag it can transfer to lots of your other Vis items. I would get a specialist cleaner to clean it and never wear with raw denim again. It will always transfer.
On another point - has anyone bought or had in hand the new brigadier horsehide? Are the weighty? Any reviews?

A pretty obvious fake visvim crash hoodie for sale on grailed. At least grailed didnt "authenticate" it.

Yeah unfortunately I think any cleaning, specialist or not, is going to result in losing the damage processing underneath. Was in a rush today and wasn't thinking, definitely feel stupid. I am guessing my best route will just be to wear it until the dye reaches a point it no longer transfers to other clothing.

saw them at Vis expo and they’re quite gorgeous. Heavy but not quite A1923 level weight.
