Small questions thread

[diorowen]

i didn't really get the sort of answer i was hoping for, perhaps i posed the question wrong;

i'm going to Japn from the 16th of july to the 30th of july,
what will the shops be like during this period?
winding down to end of season? sales? initial release of new season? empty?

I'm answering based on my experience on 2012, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
mid July-end of July, most shops has already start their sale around mid June, and there will still be end of season sale, but probably only small amount of stuff left.

new item, yes. They should receive their first delivery around mid July (Japanese brand), and early August for overseas brand.

I'd recommend you to go to 2nd hand clothes place such as Kind-store, etc and found some gem buried there. It's lots of fun :)

I was wondering if someone can help me with a couple of questions I have.

1) What's the difference between Guidi 988 and 986?

2) What's the sizing like for Individual Sentiments seam t-shirt made every season? I'm 174cm tall and 67kg, was wondering if I need to purchase a size 1 or 2.

Thank you.

988 has a taller shaft than 986.

Has anyone here that's in the US ordered from oki-ni before? I'm interested in placing an order but I do not know if I'd be hit with duty fees and all that. If there are fees, how heavy are they?

I'm looking for high quality runway pics for Dior Homme SS2003, FW2003, SS2004. I know of the archive at vogue.co.uk already; looking for higher quality image if possible.

If anyone can point me in the right direction (thru this thread or pm) that would be great.

Ann D boots usually fit one size larger right?

Quality and general opinion of Void The Brand basic tees? I currently have very few basics so I've read Void or Silent are good for cheap basics.

I am 195/70 and size 2 fits me rather well, for tight look I would go for size 1 though. I feel myself comfortable in rick xs, julius 1, ann demeulemeester xs.

i love it. a stark white blazer/leather jacket over an all black fit 9 times out of 10 looks great. i've been looking for one but havent found one i like yet.

Thanks for the response, messenoire.

I was looking at the BBS blazer fyi. Was looking around the waywt threads here and elsewhere and found that not many put together a white blazer/jacket over an outfit mainly consisting of black/grey garments. Personally i find the stark contrast between white and black quite appealing.

Regarding Rick Owens Leather Jackets, the code LB = Blistered Lamb, how about LNB?

I cannot really tell the difference by just looking at the online photos, does anyone know the difference? Has anyone got the opportunity to compare or feel the two materials in person? Thank you so much for the help.

I think it means "new blistered".

LNB is the neoprene bonded blistered leather.
