[quote user="Magician"] Hey, I want to pull the trigger on one of the DRKSHDW t-shirts from yoox and was wondering if anyone can guide me size-wise. (Small v. medium)[/quote]

from my experience they fit slightly oversized and long, but actually not that big in the upper body. I'm usually between an M and L, and the M in drkshdw tees is good for me.

I'm about a US 38, and I have some Margiela outerwear that fits perfectly in a 38. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience with the sizing on these higher-end brands.

I suggest a Small.

Thanks guy's. I joined this board for a change of pace from Styleforum, and I'm really liking it...though it does make me want to spend some obscene amounts of money...haha.

The boots are badass but I haven't worn them enough times to really comment. Retail was $1200.

[quote user="the breaks"]I was very surprised to find RO at NK when I was in Stockholm last month. They didn't have anything particularly exciting but it was cool to see his stuff being sold in our neck of the woods. Need to visit again soon ;)
[/quote]

I was a bit surprised too, but the familiar disappointment came when i saw that they only had ordered the street/sportswear items and some of the more standard longsleeved and such. I'd pay astronomic amounts of money to NOT have to wear a sporty winterjacket.

Indeed. I hope they'll be a bit more adventurous with their buy in the coming seasons. I'm sure there'd be a nice market for that stuff over there.

Wouldn't really get my hopes up due to the poor sale this season, the jackets got sold on 70% and, what I think avarage poor respons to the stuff. I am the first one to stand in line for a store to get the more flipped stuff, but everything comes down to sales, and if they didn't sell that well this time I guess they won't be that psyked about getting more stuff, even if it's crazy beautiful.

The avarage NK-shopper ain't a SZ anyways [74]

Guess you'll have to go to JUS if you want it.

Hmm.. They told me the leather jackets sold well, wasn't it only those nylon jackets that made it to the sales?

Does JUS even carry the main line? I thought they only carried Drkshdw?

I don't think there's a market for this stuff in Sweden, especially not now when stores are closing due to poor sales.. But time will tell for sure.

Re: RICK OWENS SS09



The sales are poor cause there hasn't been a real winter, so everyone are slow with the season shopping, which makes the stores panic and sale out too quick too much, and that combined with having too little creativity put into their assortment considering the pricetags makes people less keen on buying the rare pieces (they'd hurry if they knew they'd never find anything like it) and shop like crazy on sales instead.

Black Market is the only business that is growing now, which would be because they have a wilder assortment, so that people will have to buy it in season to get their hands on what they want

I'm sure things would go better if they went more adventurous.

Well, could be, I wasn't there when the sales started, but the week before I copped a tank top and left like 4-5 hanging together with the nylons one leather and a striped tee, can't really say how much they had in the beginning of the season. It's only my bias of stores getting in small shipments. But I guess they could've carried the whole line and had RO haning in the whole store for what I know.[73]

And yeah, your right, JUS only carries DRKSHW, but I mostly had in mind that JUS also have other brands, and that I think they carries the more out of reach designs, wasn't really talking specifik about RO (which would be the case in this thread, but felt it was more of an overall Sweden-suckifucki-store-question).
