Re: Yohji top
[quote user="laika"]
Faust, is that a yes? I mean, do you really like it, like, a lot? [:D]
I am determined to get exactly what I like and need (within my financial constraints) this season. I'm trying to avoid ending up with less than perfect items on sale, and aiming to buy only things that are exactly right, even if I have to pay more and have much less. Hence my contemplation of this full price top, which I might not have considered otherwise.
Cas, just email LVR and ask them. They advertise free international shipping, so I see absolutely no reason why the shipping should not be free. Perhaps they correct the charge after the sale?
Buckwheat, it's wool blended with polyamide. Does that make it rayon? [:^)]

i am in Firm Agreement with this, I too have come to this conclusion (along with making my own stuff which i've been neglecting for the last couple of years)
I just bought a few Margiela pieces, an told my brother, which is 3/4ths the shopaholic that, what we need to do is buy less (quantity) and better Quality stuff as we already have enough junk we hardly ever wear anyways and always end up giving away.........
I know your question is to Buckwheat, but if He permits I wil try to respond,
Regarding polyamide........It is difficult t explain in layman's terms but i will try
In the sense of which you are speaking (the meaning changes slightly with the context of its usage),
It can be a natural or artificially made substance/product used to treat fabrics to enhance the qualities , usually to reduce wrinkling, tear, reaction to/ with chemicals during laundering etc .
While rayon can be considered a form of polyamide/polymer it is different in the sense that it is a cellulostic/ regenerated ( I am going to stop now as its getting too scientific) fiber eg. viscose (arificial silk) which is natural as opposed to Nylon which is also a form of polyamide but entirely man made. silk and wool can also be polyamides but they occur naturally
In your particular item it's more of a treatment for the wool (probably to make it more comfortable against the skin, reduce shrinkage etc,) than as a fabric within itself
to help here goes.
.1. wool and silk- Entirely natural polyamides (as the are produced by animals without necessity of mans input)
.2. Rayon/ Viscose - Regenerated from natural fiberswith the aid of man
.3. Nylon.- entirely man made fiber (artificial fabric)
