^^^

Those are raw in the sense they aren't distressed but not "raw" by this forum's standards. Whacked's still correct about them already being washed repeatedly so that you're really not going to get any noticeable shrinkage out of them no matter how much you throw them in hot water.

^^^ Thanks for the clarification. Both of you have been very helpful.

Both of you are right...they didn't shrink much after being soaked in hot water. I throwed them into a dryer...and they are being dried as of now. We will see. Worst case, I wear a belt

Q. Just curious, are there fakes of Common Projects out there and how do you identify them?

Yes, there is. Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/COMMON-PROJECTS...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Where is a good shoe thread.

Also was what you guys do when it starts raining and your wearing some unwashed raw denim. Do you have an oh **** moment?

Can you elaborate on the differences? The box looks raggier than usual, but how should authenticity be determined from the shoe itself (without touch)?

No, I usually just look down and think,

"ohshitthey'rejustjeans!"

Hey,

Still looking to buy a tiger fleece W+H hoodie. I e-mailed Blackbird but they were out of stock. I've also sent emails to Roden Gray and Peasant, but no response yet. Are there any other places that would sell them? I'm also combing through the SuFu marketplace and SF B/S but no luck there either.

whodini · Oct 29, 2008

Stick to emailing or calling roden. They've got the biggest collection of wh available. Look at the official thread and see if you've got the right contact info. If you don't hear from them by the end of the week pm me.

I've never really bothered to look into it much, so I can't give you much detail. But yeah, the box is pretty damn obvious.

I'd just stick to the normal rules when trying to by things on ebay. If its from non-Japan asia, beware. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is.

Well those particular ones you posted are the patent model, and none of the patent ones have the gold numbers on the side..
Generally, it's pretty easy to tell fakes apart by the gold numbers and spacing btwn them

Noticed that a lot of rtw from rag n bone, philip lim, helmut lang, elie tahari et al (stuff from barneys) is made in china to my surprise.

Has this been always or is this a recent trend.

I am a little against spending 300 on a coat (no matter how visually attractive) that is made in china.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160274066738 Did I get a good deal? I'm thinking yes.

does anyone know where I can find Barbour or Gloverall peacoats in Toronto/online (which ships to CA)

I am looking for a decent fitting chambray. Can a small (14 1/2 32-33) be found that fits for less than 40$?
