Small questions thread

sizing sometimes differs every season,
but size 2 is 46-48 but more like 46ish in my opinion..don't get tricked by the waist measurement, since most of Julius jeans sit lower.. so better ask for actual measurement to make sure your thigh and calf will fit into.

Are these the new cordovan boxers? Never seen them before so I don't know if they're new or older. Was thinking boxers didn't have a heel but maybe they're just washed cordovan military boot?

Can one of our japanese speakers clarify this for me:

難あり　新品　正規のサンプル品　本物　下げ札付き(品質表記はありません。)袖の縫製ミスかわかりません が袖を通すとねじれている感じがして窮屈です。着用できないことはありませんが違和感があり、リフォームで 修理ができるかわかりませんので入札される方はご了承の上、お願いいたします。

Something about the sleeves being not right apparently?

I'm new here and I want to know if there's anywhere in Hong Kong that carry Silent by DD? Thanks!

[idlewild]

Does anyone have any info on whether this is legit or not?

I'm hesitant since the seller has no other sales. I also thought that RU 2770 LP was the distressed leather? This one seems to be the undistressed leather?

As I know, nobody carry them in Hong Kong, you should stick to some e-retainers anyway.

Not that many that I know of.
Oki-Ni and Forward is all I got, mind to PM others?

There is nothing that would make it seem fake in any way that I can tell...quite the contrary. Plus, leather codes are at the end (LP) and as far as I know, LP is simply code for lamb leather. The code doesn't indicate the treatment except I believe there is a code for washed calf rather than heavy calf.

yeah, the sleeves has something wrong that makes it uncomfortable to wear. seller also said it need to be repaired by yourself if you're gonna get it..take a look at the picture, maybe it will help you understand more :)

If I have an RO item code and I want to see more pictures, do I search that into google or is there another avenue I take? I'm looking to buy a wool coat, RU1953 NOIR S and nothing came up.

Hi, I am looking for very long laces for these boots, 75 inches/190 cm. Any suggestions? Color is sort of greenish black. One of the laces is broken so I need a replacement. Thanks!

[magic]

there are some thick black thread that can be use as lace as well. Those length are hard to get at normal clobber.

BTW, someone posted these codes a year ago

LB: unwashed calf
LM: metallic calf
LS: silky lambskin
LC: washed lambskin
LF: fading lambskin
LO: oiled calfleather
LSH = Lamb Shearling
LNB = blistered leather on neoprene

I'm getting somewhat confused with all the different types running around. Planning to get a RO stooges soon enough, so which flavor of skin should i bet on?

Reformulated: Y'all stooges owners, what's your opinion on the best version of it?

^oiled leather

It is the military boot - same last as the front zip - been around in various iterations for a few seasons
