I reckon that's normal though. I am also having trouble zipping up my julius boots. Well, it does zip up all the way but it just hard to zip it up compare it to riri zippers if you know what i mean.

^ I actually have more trouble with my riri zippers than my julius ones. Although it's as dji describes, you just need to get used to two-way zippers. To make life easier, straighten up the area where the two zips are located before trying to pull it up.

^ ditto, I've found that the japanese YKKs that Julius use now (and the excellas that Guidi use) operate more smoothly than the same size riri zips.

i have experienced of having difficulty inline those Insert Pin on my riri zipper. I think it depends on the finishing of the zipper that cause this problem. My is something like black oxidized.

I have a pair of gustavolins and they fit wonderful - great straight leg, like a tailored pant should fit. careful with branquinho, as some of her pants are clearly 70s looks with a slightly flared leg. others are a good straight leg though, so it's hard to say. i'd ask for side view images.

I'm looking for some basics too, has anyone tried S'exprimer basics? How's the quality?

So yeah, I'm actually interested in them as well. I mean they are obviously RO knock offs, but then again they're just basics.
Just in case somebody handled them, how do they compare to the Rick tees regarding the size and the measurements.

Hey D, was just at Lift Position this afternoon, and learnt that XS is actually made as a ladies size, based on what the SA told me. I didn't bother trying because it looked way too tight for me. FYI.

D, i was told the wrong information.
There is an XS for mens, tried it on today, and it's actually a better fit for me than the S, so that's what i went with.

jgan, please note that gustavolins tends to run a little bit big. for a 48, i wear a size 2. this isn't always the case (sometimes size 3 fits me), but it is the majority of the time with the trousers.

[Acid, Bitter and Sad]

What's the item name and number for these trainers?
Thanks!

have any foreigners found work arounds that allow for reduced fee transactions via paypal? it seems as though sending payment as "personal" (gift, payment owed, etc.) is not an option for quite a few europeans, not sure if it 's throughout the EU or what though...

[lowrey]

I haven't had any problems sending personal payments from the EU

[theaddict]

Fucking Germany...i guess...

[jumpoff]

As a non-EU european I've had no problems either.
