      I took out my winter stuff from storage and noticed that my down MA-1 is losing a lot of feathers when I put it on. Is there any way to prevent this or make it losing less? Anyone put their Rick ma-1 in the dryer before?

        Thanks for the advice guys. He finally answered after I threatened to open a dispute.
        Let's see where this goes!

          Is an individual sentiments size 3 equal to about a 50? What does the sizing equal out to?

            ^ Yes, I just purchased some IS slim pants, size 3. I normally wear a 50 and buying slim pants can be an uncertain thing but these fit great- I'm about 6'2", 185lbs.

                So guys!
                Today I went to the BBS flagship in NYC that just opened 2days ago (I met him in person in the store). The shirt that I'm looking for will be $527 including tax. However, with that price I could get the same shirt with $470 in a boutique in Europe. But here is the question, will I have to buy for the customs duty? Because if yes, the price will be even higher if I buy from store though.

                  You´d be saving $57 by buying from a boutique in Europe, but if you consider shipping and customs, I think buying from abroad will end up being more expensive.

                    My IS jacket in size 1 fits somewhere between 46 - 48, so size 3 should probably fit bigger 50.

                      It turns out that he has (last active today 01.29 pm).. It is pretty weird though, he seemed like a nice guy and he's also a member on here.
                      So.. I guess that means I should try to get my money back right away?

                      This situation sucks!
                      Just open a dispute.
                      Purchased something, dude stopped all communication after i paid. Send a PM that the dispute is open, enjoy.
                      He replied to me within an hour.

                      My case is still open but better safe than sorry i guess.

                        So i only own sbuc which is horse but did research on kangaroo. "Kangaroo is thin, lightweight and yet has the greatest tensile strength of any leather known to man given its thickness." I also read somewhere that kangaroo doesn't retain shape as well as horse and sags a bit more. thats why ccp kangaroo tornados always have more folding going on.

                        I hope this helps some of it may be too much assumption but i read the posts i linked and seems like people knew what they were talking about.

                        As they say no substitute for experience.

                          does someone know how the coding of LUC colors works? i own a basic piece in 22/8 (anthracite grey) and thinking about purchasing a similiar style in 24/8 (description says grey). if the colors are nearly the same i would go for black instead...

                            I don't think there is definite logic to them, and even if there was it probably varies notably by material and dyeing technique. This is just a hunch though.

                              I have a leather jacket that I need cleaned, as well as some pretty long tears fixed (not sure if they would patch...or sew..or?). Any recommended places that might be able to do this? I had a bad experience with the only place on yelp I could find. Thanks.
