Hard to find Japanese repros for $225 anymore - even basic Sugar Cane's are $275 and the 'premium' brands are over three bills. (current exceptions: Fullcount/Warehouse from BiG)

I paid ~$150 from Cultizm (plus shipping, but here I'd pay tax or shipping) for some LVC '47s in late 2008.

Paul T at Superdenim is saying prices will go up - but they're still likely to be 2/3 the cost of Japanese brands.

I finally soaked my 47's after deciding not to sell them. Pre-soak they were 27x33 (tagged 28x34)...after 28x31. I wore them in the tub during the soak and then hang dried after around 25 minutes. I would really recommend buying TTS or one up in the 47's

I think the '67 505s are the only raw jeans that are not made in the USA for this upcoming collection. Most of the tops and other non-denim items are usually made in Turkey or Portugal.

I just bought some '67 505's from Cultizm a few weeks ago and the tag says Made in USA. Maybe it was old stock?

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean "up in the air"? What's going down with Farinelli's?

It's not really up in the air, just transitioned from a B&M/online shop into exclusively online. What's partially up in the air I guess is exactly what brands will be carried since some brands have a problem with that for whatever reason.

edit: just read the F thread: maybe the whole thing is "up in the air".

If I stop selling online fret not. All of our affiliates are good people and carry most of the stuff I do.
They are better business people for sure. I am to kind and then when I break and say something there is to much back lash. I honestly can't compete with the other affiliates.

I hope people follow my blog and support WvG and spread the word. I am not saying I am closing my online store. I am just saying I don't have the resources to do what I use to. I am sorry.

Best,
mauro



yup, i'd describe this as "up in the air"

does anyone know if they will have special sizes in this season?

I will need a 34x38 or something similar.
