11: 'the size indicated on the product's label is 41 (European Size). '

[Dane]

Yoox often misconverts, but I'm not familiar with women's sizing. Either way, why can't a woman wear an 11?

[zamb]

an American size 11 in women does translate to about a European size 41. I wear size 40/41 and if I ever wear a women shoe......(not that i do) I would have to go at least a 10-11

[Urthwhyte]

Yes. If you're a 42 or 41.5 you can fit the 41s I'm sure. Ann's shoes are very generous and run much wider than most women's pieces do.

[zamb]

So these are women's too? http://www.thecorner.com/us/women/hi...re_us&tp=40548


:((((

listen, stop agonizing yourself and asking wasteful questions

if you like the sneakers and they can fit you buy them regardless of whether they are listed as men or women..........

if the shoe fits and you like it, just wear it

I never say anything negative in here, but Kuat's posts are all retarded.

Kuat aside,

can anyone please tell me about how to dye a cotton garment or recommend any place that does it well in Vancouver? I don't wanna ruin a great piece from poell.

you should be able to dye it with machine wash dye or hand wash dye, such as dylon. If you want a dead black result, use plenty of dye and salt, and let it soak. It doesn't hurt if you use 2x the reccomended amount, just make sure you rinse it afterwards several times to get rid of the excess colour.

I'm pretty sure the tape should be fine with a 40C wash which is what these dyes require.

When changing colours with dye, you have to take stitching into consideration as if its synthetic, it will not change colour like the fabric and you will end up with contrasting stitching. However since the garment is very dark to begin with (at least based on the pictures), I doubt it'll be very noticeable, or the stitching could even be black already.

I am 5'10 155lb, and wear size 38 (US). I recently tried on a size 52 (IT) Rick Owens Bullet (Scuba) and it felt right in the shoulders and sleeves, but it was slightly scrunched in body and slightly in the back. In fact, it is very similar to the model's fit in this page.

Is this a bad fit? I know Rick Owens is supposed to look fitted and not scrunched up, but the shoulders feel right. I would be upsizing twice, to 52 from 48 (IT), and this does not feel like a right purchase. Any advice would be great for this first time Rick buyer!

Thanks

Looks about right to me. His stuff is sized down one to begin with, and adding the slim nature of the jacket, going up 2 sizes isn't out of the ordinary. I was saying recently that I usually wear a 36 (sometimes 38), and the 50 seemed the best fit for me.

Thanks for the quick reply, also how long is too long? It goes a bit below my waist. Will go try on again tomorrow.

the back is shorter than the front...ideally it would taper on the sides above your hip bone. It's all subjective though, use your judgment...you're the one that has to wear it.
