Would MA+ sizing in Japan differ from the rest of the world?

the measurements for a size 48 top on Y seems to be more like a 44 or a 46? Hoping its just the seller that fucked up on the measurements

[lowrey]

should be the same. imo, in some pieces a 48 in m.a+ could fit more like a 46.

yeah you are right Lo, Just wanted to full myself and believe otherwise
Tks

i have a pair of old leather gloves that are too big for me. almost 1-2 sizes bigger than i normally wear. they are lined with wool..

is there a way to treat them so they shrink? or should i try to have it altered?

i have a few double layer cotton and cashmere rick owens tshirts. i only let them dry clean as stated on the washtag. what happens to them if i just put them for 1 minute in a water/soap mix instead of chemically washing them with "p" by a professional cleaner?

I've handwashed mine in luke warm water and mild detergant, no problem.

Anybody talked to andrewislasorad in the past week or so?
He still owes me a deposit, respondend once after I asked him about it (March, 16th) that his PP account is locked and never heard back from him since then...
Never doubted his legitness and still believe that I will get my money back, just that he didn't reply to my messages since then and didn't refund me either :-\

thank you for the fast answer! i wash my silk/rayon ro tees the same way and was wondering why it shouldnt work for cotton.

never heard of anyone trying to alter gloves - i'd imagine that's impossible.

any julius small gas bag owners around?

so, don't know where ask to ask this question so i'll pose it here:

i originally saw the bag @ A and liked it but considered it way too expensive for such a small bag that would get minimal use. i since bought the bag from nameless @ a much more reasonable price (thanks nameless) but am now faced with the dilemma of how to use it. the thing is tiny and all the microscopic snap pockets are virtually useless,especially the ones on the bottom of the bag.

my question to all owners of the bag, WTF to you put in it...especially how, if at all, do you use the snap pockets?

aesthetically it's beautiful, i'm just trying to figure out how to get more use out of it.

thanks guys

This is exactly why I never understood the bag's appeal. I suppose during the summer you could just use it to put small stuff like wallet and phone in. One of the reasons why summer is a sartorial disaster.

[endorphinz]

yeah, phone, keys, small diary/notebook, ipod...but that's about it

i can't think of anything to put into the pockets

[Faust]

I put mints or phone in the square pocket and pens in the long narrow ones.
