Looks legit to me. I have the same one and the buttons, embroidery and tab on the left side of the chest all match mine.

Texture of nylon, ribbing, and gas mask clip is the same- authentic

Anyone know what this season's spot items are ?

 

[Fycus]

Its only possible to find out about a week or so beforehand, if I remember I will post, however unless you have a connect at FIL its unclear which spot items will be dropping; even the staff don't necessarily know.

Does anyone have sizing tips for the most recent ICT mud dyed virgils? Thinking of going tts just like my brigadiers..

 

[Newt Bluestripe]

ICT Virgil boots came. Happy with how they look and fit! Just for reference I’m a us 9 on the brannock device with medium width (can’t recall the width alphabet). Went with us 9 (tts) on the brigs and now the virgils and I’m happy with both of em.

In case anyone cares..
Brig us 9
Virgil us 9
Alden trubalance us 8.5d
Edward Green 82 last oxfords uk 8.5e

Also tried on the canoe moc-ii’s the other day and I feel like they fit 1/2 size small.

Considering buying my first Suede Virgils, can anyone comment on how they hold up/look with wear? Do they look really bad after beating them up or better with age (I definitely won't wear them in the rain)? Curious to see pics of wear and wabsi sabi life?

Hi. I can’t find the sizing info on G’s file so I’m going to ask here. Any advice on the sizing of Foley Folk and Blackfoot Moc Toe Boot compared to the 7-hole or suede Virgils please. Or FBT even. Thanks.

Has anyone found a decently priced alternative to the Jumbo crew sweatshirt? I really like veggie dyed washes but I can’t do Visvim $$$ for some as basic as a sweatshirt. Anyone found something similar? I’d be open to lighter overdyes or mineral washes. JE has come to mind but I haven’t seen anything that ticks all the boxes.

JE is great !

Hey, just curious.

What brand does JE stand for?

 

[malcb33]

JE is great !

Any specific models you would recommend? I would probably need something XL or XXL to get an oversized look and I find a lot of John Elliott (JE @skenney ) has Bieber style tight sleeves or something.

i would just hunt around on the pre-owned sites including Japanese auctions for a good deal. Even for something basic like a tee, I doubt anything but Visvim will satisfy if you’re looking for Visvim. You just have to be patient x
