Is this typical of japanese markup on EU brands?

Same Ann Demm boots on...

Yes , it's typical although the price difference is really big here. Same thing that happens with japanese brands pricing in the rest of the world.

I know some of you guys have this and i'm really tempted to join the crew. But how much does it stretch around the chest area?

I left my rick l/s on the hanger for about 5 days and the neck hole has stretched considerably. How do I shrink it back down without putting it through a harsh dry cycle?

the answer as always, is "it depends."

I consider myself a true 48 and the size 2 is very comfortable in the chest for me, it hasn't stretched much at all.

Use woolite, wash it by hand, wring it out and then lay it flat to dry on a towel (or drying rack).

They usually retain the shape well after this process because they stretch out so much while worn.

Another trick if you're going to hang those thing on a hanger, do this:

Hang them on a hanger with some rubber so they will cling to it and fold the arms up over the shoulders (like crossing the arms up over) to keep it from sliding down at the neck.

The weight of the sleeves will keep the neck from sliding down and stretching out over the hanger so gravity won't do it's work so horribly.

I tumble dry my rick tees at a low temp for about 15 mins

[kunk75]

^me too, but the wife doesn't. black double layer is now perfect for verne troyer

[seatbelts]

A friend of mine suggested blocking but I guess a tumble dry will do the trick for way less work.

anyone know what lazzari's return/exchange policy is? thinking about getting a coat but unsure of sizing...

[bestial]

They are very open minded when it comes to returns. Just email Matteo and say you want to buy it but that you're unsure about the size and he'll probably say that it's okey to send it back. Many users here have ordered several pieces and tried on at home and send back the ones that haven't fit.

Is there any way to obtain exact measurements for items listed on lounge-world? Trying to figure out my size on a couple of items, but other sites who list measurements don't have the item I'm looking for.
