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

has anyone noticed how the 101 dmgd upper pocket inner corner weakens quickly ? I know it is inherent to the stitching, but this is my 2nd 101 dmgd, and 2nd with a hole forming already while it is new. I also have the 101 dmgd 1003, but the wash being less strong this doesn't show.

Hi folks. Looking for a Japanese proxy service, but one more personal than Buyee/FromJapan. One that will actually telephone a shop in Japan and ask questions, and perhaps negotiate. Any ideas if anyone in Japan provides this type of service as opposed to the standard proxy service? Thanks in advance! Simon.

http://rare-s.com/ contact info on the site- he won't negotiate however. Haggling is highly frowned upon in Japan and just isnt something people do.

Thanks. I'll give this a go. On the bargaining front, totally understood. Just sometimes in an auction the seller actually mentions that they are open to an offer, but the proxy I normally use won't help by making an offer even where invited to do so by the seller. Quite frustrating as you know the asking price is more than the price they are willing to accept - they actually tell you - but if you want the item you have to pay what you know is over the odds.

Anyway, much appreciated. Will report back on how my experiences go with rare-s.

Cheers!

If that's the case that is probably the only exception I can think of. I was thinking you were referring to the retail brick and mortar establishments

Dipping my toes into the visvim waters, picked up a pair of Virgils and a 101 damaged denim jacket. I thought the brand was a meme at first but this is some of the highest quality stuff I've ever handled. Really impressed and I think it just kickstarted an addiction.

Anyway, can anyone comment on the one wash lhamo shirt sizing: https://www.blueowl.us/collections/visvim/products/ss-lhamo-shirt-in-one-wash?variant=31336934047802. The size 4 denim jacket I have is a perfect fit FWIW, although I'm unsure of the season since I purchased off eBay.

take a 4 in lhamo as well. since SS19 lhamo fits a bit bigger/longer than past iterations

Name the brand that makes similar shirts to the Katchum shirt with saggy lower pockets. Go!

thanks in advance!

hint: I think it’s either from France or The UK.

Nope - no clue

I am trying to pick up a pair of Brigadier Boots Folk. I wonder do they still run large and need to size down .5 on recent styles? Thanks!

Hey, haven’t tried any Vis footwear but wanted to know the sizing on Zermatts. Anybody have experience with them?

I have a pair from AW19 I believe it was black roughout. I sized 12 same as my general sneakers fit. I wear 12 in NB 996, Nike Janoskis, and 11 in a snug Barrie last. Let me know if you need any other help!

This helps, thanks! Im a 10 Barrie and 11 in most sneakers, so that sounds like it lines up.

Thank you! I will steer well clear. Very much appreciated ...

those are 7 hole moc toe from 2014, they are NOT fake welt stitches. That's the uprated sole unit.
