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

[kami]

random question but ive seen some really worn hoodies but the caretag ink is still pretty visible. i washed my new amplus twice and the ink is already fading a bit compared to whats under the size tag. is there a way i should be washing them?

 

[jerigo]

Any clue if these are legitimate or not?

Do the Brigadier Boots fit like the Virgils? Also what is the FOLK significance for all the boots

 

[Fycus]

I think folk originally referred to chemical free tanned leather. It may have changed over time

His proudest accomplishment this season is his new “Folk” line of shoes made of leather with no chemical tanning that offers uncompromising breathability and comfort. Nakamura is wearing one of the styles, an ankle-high moccasin crafted by Japanese hands. “I never wear socks, I like to test my products and feel the leather or materials next to my skin. I never want to sweat in my shoes. This is how moccasins were worn for hundreds of years.”

I just throw my hoodies in the washer. Some of my tags fade more than others too. I wouldn't worry about it.

Any clue if these are legitimate or not?

Can't really tell if legit, the photos are too bright and far away and it's a very old model (over 10+ years old based on the white tabs, which also look too large to me). At any rate I would pass if you're looking to buy them and get a newer iteration which will have a tan leather tongue tab with lacquer dots on it. If you are patient you can find Virgils on sale.

Do the Brigadier Boots fit like the Virgils?

I would take the same size brigadier as virgil. It's a different feel due to the mid/sole but size was the same for me.

And finally to end on a rant, does anyone know what this graphic is supposed to be? Looks like some kind of Indian diety on fire plus peerless in sick flames... Why??? This is my new #2 worst item ever released after the madras clown suit last season.

Thanks man!
Since learning about Japanese irezumi tattoos for myself, I believe the above shirt image is that of Fudo Myoo, a Buddhist deity.

Think you’re right.

Be curious to see what you’re thinking for tattoos. I went in with a general idea, but ultimately just let my artist freehand my two 3/4 sleeves. Not 100% traditional Irezumi, but pretty close.

"Fudo Myoo in this drawing is a deity who is said to remove people's obstacles and rid them of earthly desires. He is like a hero to me, as I value my sensory abilities and try not to overthink things in my head." (from the catalogue)

Did anyone get this seasons coach jacket? Less17 have them so I guess they will be available at other suppliers although I can't see me dropping 2.5K on one.

 

[Blancpain]

That's cool! Thanks for the info guys I appreciate it. I tried to ask Exposition about a catalog but nobody replied and haven't been to the store in a bit.

i went with a half sleeve and chest panel with mums and koi. i had plans to extend to a 3/4 and start a dragon back piece in the future.

Nice! I wish I’d gone for chest panels, but it was my first tattoo (sleeve one) and I didn’t know whether I wanted to commit.

If anyone has a size 2 in the acala jumbo that they had a change of heart on lmk!

 

[norigim]

Anyone know what season this shirt is from? I don’t remember it at any of the recent trunk shows.

 

[frunk]

It’s either SS25 or upcoming ICT. Wallis down.
