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

Bored while waiting for the Turkey to roast. Here’s a relatively rare item. 3L Six-Five Fishtail. Has a poly lining on the inside.

Is the Iris jacket particularly warm? it has some sort of fill, right? Thinking about getting either an Iris or a Roadster swing but it never gets below 60 degrees here in Los Angeles. I own a dotera and I wear it like twice a year (and it’s still overkill).

Iris made for LA since needle stuck at 75

Is the version with wool lining significantly warmer?

Yes but not by much to be honest.

Alright y’all are a bunch of enablers lol. Just got my bonus today too. Just gotta convince the wife and I’ll grab an iris. I’ll probably have to offload my dotera too. Thanks all

Weather is never a factor!! Just look at boismnyugen on IG. Thailand living but still layering the items

not sure how some of these guys wear what they wear in 30c+ heat and lot of these places humid as hell. Think I’d be in a light shirt/ shorts/ sandals daily

fortunately I’m in the UK so the layering comes in most of the year

only Visvim item I feel doesn’t suit the UK is the Christo’s. I’ve wanted a pair but the period of year you can wear them doesn’t make them worth the money. Even this summer I was wearing jackets and boots loads it was so wet

as for the standard iris I find it a fairly light jacket so suits like around 15c/ 60f. Anything significantly less and don’t think it keeps you particularly warm if on its own but works great as an under layer or more with hoody under

Retlas and I are in the same boat. UK weather is good for layering, but it is often wet. Mind you I'm in Sussex which is the sunniest part of the country! ?

Surely we all just need goretex pieces

I'm on the raffle list for the size 2 in JP, only one was made, lol.

Keykoo - what’s the sizing like on your 3L sixfive?

I just got the TTS (2). It's probably the same pattern as other six fives.

 

[Retlas]

nice one... thanks.
I had my eye on a Copleston on YJP but it sold before bidding ended unfortunately.

It's too bad they're not going with goretex for the 3L's though.
