Anybody else notice the Khumbu down JKT product listing on the FW22 page on the JP site is gone? Was looking for the size chart they had.

@noigim What's the 3rd jacket there in olive with the blanket(?) lining? Super cool piece. The damaged processing on it is also really nice. Just a really wearable piece overall. Do you have a favorite out of the 6 pieces there? It's probably like picking your favorite child - they're all nice and the variety is great.

Re: Giffords, be careful on YJP recently; I have been using for years but recently got scammed on a Paratrooper coat that looked good but the photos were blurry on the tags. I bid and was quickly outbid only for the seller to later cancel all bids (which I now realize were likely fake bids via himself or related) past my bid so I “won” the auction with <5 minutes u til end. Requested extra images and was clearly fake, only got my money back thanks to PayPal. I was browsing recently and just noticed a S.A.R. jacket fake sold for $1200+, blurry low res photos seem to check out but it’s not legit.

Still love the overseas resource but I will never be throwing out bids anymore and only buying with tags/envelope/garment bag personally. Not worth the headache.

damn i got hit by this scam too then i think if the item below one you bid on?


I had my suspicions too of the same jacket. but didn't know there was fakes of the paratrooper, feedback good, as you say there were lots of people bidding, and although was suspicious of the tag, i know lot of sellers are bit lazy with the photos of tags even for legit items. the item is at the ZenMarket now. never had experience of fake purchase before. Is it possible to sort it with Zen or i got to go just go via my Bank?

Like you say, gotten a bit complacent with bidding of late with YJP. So need to be more vigilant in future
