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

[norigim]

Came yesterday from Vintage Concept. I worked my arse to find it at retail but just ran out of time! Last chance was a dealer in JP who had one going live online and in-store at midday Japanese time (4am UK time). I overslept by 15 minutes from my alarm and it had sold out!

Cannot fault VC. Shipped on Monday at 8pm via EMS. Got to UK and delivered to my door by Thursday at 10am. Bonkers. @frunk - your YouTube vid gave me fomo on last years so needed to make up for it. Completely agreed on the fabric and close up details making up for it.

Have also seen a few people layer with the red Jumbo from a few weeks back so keen to try that out too.

That's really nice. I am considering picking up the black one...

You sure that wasn’t the Osha store chick? I remember some guy posted here that she ghosted him and never shipped the item, but I don’t recall seeing anything from VC.

Ah yeh I think you’re right on that. Did search and this was VC issue so not as bad as examples I thought were claimed


‘I personally don't recommend Vintage Concept Store, they have bad customer service.

After purchasing an item, they sent me a followup email confirming they have the item in stock and ready to ship, and asked me to pay extra for the shipping cost. Their website advertises free shipping, but says that DHL is extra. I didn't need expedited shipping, so I asked what their free shipping option is, assuming it was EMS.

A few minutes later, they cancelled my order, and ignored my followup emails.’

Yeah my one compliant is that he doesn’t update his store stock. I always dm him before ordering to confirm availability. I’ve also messed up the shipping (forgot to add DHL) and he helped me out.

does VCS play ball with customs declarations?

Brown tweed and that red uneven dye jumbo are like a color cheat code. Such a good pairing.
I grabbed the black tweed lumber from a store when I was in Osaka last week.

 

[blianree]

anyone have experience how women's sizing for skagways g.patterns translate to men's sizing?

Never been to a Visvim store… what sorta music do they play in there?

 

[StoneyIce]

That visvim tweed texture is outta this world @lumber&airmen

I don’t recall either the Los Angeles or Santa Fe stores having music playing

So I just got the Falkland blazer donegal that dropped a couple weeks ago. I’m a 5”9 and size 2 fits pretty nice on me. The only problem is the sleeves are too long. Has anyone had a similar problem? Wondering if this is the Visvim intended fit or it’s just that my arms are too short.

Grabbed the elemendorf this morning. Dk Brown, size 4. The pink lining got me. Black was cool, but make me too much like a ride a motorcycle or helicopter or something.

All the JP stores I've been to also do not play music.

i messaged the guy on IG. Told him what my order was I’d already made and he agreed to adjust value

I DMd him on IG before ordering. As it was a preorder, it was less of an issue. If it wasn't in stock, he'd just refund it.

I'd definitely use him again if I was in a jam in stock for something. Fees are far more reasonable than others for that piece especially. Some were charging 7.5k HKD excluding shipping. May as well but from a European store!
