Does anyone know whats typically in stock at the Indigo Camping Trailer in the Gyre mall? I'll be visiting Tokyo in a few weeks and want to check it out.

Quick question on the ss17 7-holes. Were those one of the better iterations? And just in general, do the quality of the 7-holes vary much from year to year? I remember they were made in China for some time, and switched back to Japan.

Edit: ss17..

Speaking of ICT, are the indigo dyed Virgil’s a mainstay there or was that just a one time thing?

Hi guys,

I am a real freshman on the forum. Just wanted to share an outfit with a version of the Visvim Mies coat that we don't often have the chance to see.

Cheers

I got my Virgil’s today

Im prettyy sure this is the most I’ve spent on a single thing and I was pretty unsure about it tbh. I felt like Vibergs would be just as good for a few hundred less but I just never found a good pair of them in my size.

I’m pretty happy with these though. I don’t really know how I’ll wear them with my usual Lemaire/Geller/Dries so I’ll have to try some other ****.

They look awesome, and to me personally are in their own league and certainly something Viberg can come close to, but cannot repliace. The virgil shape has withstood the test of time and is one of my favorite boots.

On the bright side, they use a standard Vibram Christy sole which can be easily replaced by any cobbler at a reasonable price.

Best way - and this is kinda silly - is to check out pics by location on instagram to see what's new. I was there in Feb and they had small sizes of most everything: sanjuro gi, a lot of ND lhamos, a lot of SS albacore ND, the bucky coverall, and a ton of the homespun yarn knits and the cross-stitching denim stuff, like the napier coat - the stuff that hasn't sold well. Only shoes were skagway sketches.

The stuff that sells out online usually sells out in store. I've been there a day before a release (ICT virgil) and asked what was coming out and they showed me ahead of time, which was nice.

looking forward to wearing these into the ground

I'm interested in a double ring belt, but curious to know if they come in my size. I'm a true 36 but read @Fycus saying to size up on these. Does anyone know if they make a 38 or even a 40 say? Thanks

 

[Fycus]

I'm 90% certain they make a 38 in the ring belts

 

[dotcomzzz]

Good to know, cheers.

I doubled up like a sucker and bought the black ones too...
