What was the pre-order price for that Jacket? What's the advantage to a pre-order v. just buying when it is released? I am curious!
There's no price advantage at trunk shows. You put down some sort of deposit (I think 30%) and then pay the balance when the item arrives. I don't know what the US price for this is, but I think in JP it was something like 500,000 yen? Don't remember.

Whoops the price above was for the swing top.

It’s the same price 2,810 I believe. However, you put down a 30% deposit at the trunk show. Then you pay the rest before you pick up the item. Also, some items are really limited to trunk show orders.

Someone convince me not to pre-order the mawata swing jacket pls tnks
The mawata material is indeed really nice in person. But I strangely preferred the mawata Douglas jacket. Something about the PEERLESS branding spoke to me!

Hey folks, I'm letting go of my SS 101XX JKT DMGD-1010 in Size 2. In mint/new condition - I wore it for two brief times and realized it's a bit too small. I'll drop a Grailed link here but please DM me for better prices. Thanks!

Correct- sometimes I held off on pre-ordering an item because I was unsure, by the time release came around it was raffle only and im left to pay hefty resale, or lose out. Really depends on your risk appetite. With how poorly resale in general has been on high ticket clothing, I dont like gambling on items as much now since ive been burned on sizing or fit.

The black mawata swingtop is so much better than the green or navy imo. That mid century esque pattern is just like the maharam dot fabric. Lots of vintage rayon shirts with similar atomic starburst patterns (even star of Hollywood with a similar green), looks really similar to source material but with a visvim twist.

Anyways y'all did a terrible job convincing me not to get it.

Ordered the black size 4.
