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

or look at www.citera.jp
a new label, he is ex Vis and his latest one is similar to the ballistic (but at a better price)

Huh, that line looks pretty good.

And what about price for 22L backpack? Cause of promotion I could buy it for 597 USD. Is it a nice price? Or could I find it cheaper during summer sales?

 

[Retlas]

I have never seen any of the backpacks land in the sales... $597 is a good price... they retail for over £600 in the UK

Heads-up there is a pretty good sale going on at Roden Gray right now. Just copped the brown horsehide Virgils for $600 including shipping. Use INSIDERS-10 for an extra 10% off

Can any visvim experts tell me the difference between these 22Ls other than the size?
Is the size the only factor that accounts for the price difference? Seems both are cordura but have different dimensions. Weird since both are supposed to be 22L

i don't think they changed the dimensions for their 22L. i could be wrong

I think the only difference is the use of veggie tanned suede for the leather.

I've been using my 22L for close to 4 years as my everyday work bag + travel. Well worth the price at JP retail

Thanks Fycus for the heads up. Hopefully I'll come across something. What are some good retailers to check out other than FIL?

Try the flagship Isetan store, or DSM Ginza

From the FW18 lookbook. I’ve been wanting a sturgis but why must they put the brand name on so many pieces these days? I’ll jist keep hunting for He old one with the flag/piece symbol.

Also, What is the fullest cut for the SS jeans? O3, 04, 10, etc?

Damn, I paid $770 for a black pair in idolbrooklyn. I definitely hurried =(

Lexdray is the closest I've seen, but it's more of a technical looking bag, less streetwear/ fashion.

IMO, you're better off finding another cool bag, rather than trying to find something that "looks exactly like X, but is cheaper." There's always going to be some aesthetic difference that'll make you unhappy, or just knowing it's not the thing you want.

There are tons of cool backpacks on the market. Check F/CE, Hobo, South2 West8, Porter, Briefing, Master Piece, Epperson Mountaineering, and Dsptch. The one I use the most lately is And Wander's 30L in green.

+1 on Hobo. I bought a messenger last week because I was bored. It's been pretty fun to use and play with.

I was at FIL shibuya last week for the spot item release, they had ballistic 22l with horween leather all black, the brown ones sold out in the morning. other than that, i only saw 1 other balistic bag from previous season in red. No backpack in the visvim store.

 

[Alesha]

Guys, I don't understand how but ... 465$

 

[Retlas]

Wow amazing price... I am in the UK, and I can't find that price on their website... I get it down to £500

Also, Havenshop have the red 20L, blue 20L and blue 22L in their sale... $672 CAD

 

[drknmky]

Man this seasons ballistic bags are so sweet with the horween leather. I gave up hope that they would do a leather version again so I caved and purchased one with suede two years ago.

 

[Emixam]

the latest suede iteration is very sweet, no more ballistic but a finer weave instead, still 100% nylon with a mat finish, which almost looks like cotton.
