You ask after you bid ?
They seems legit to me.

There are also a thread for these kind of questions.

Are the Yohji pieces consistent in their sizing? I bought this blazer ( http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men...-10358025.aspx ) in size 4 while in Japan. I am 183cm, the shoulders fit perfectly and the fit is just a bit loose, as desired from a Yohji piece.

I'm considering buying this one now ( http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men...-10358028.aspx ), but from what I can tell from pictures online, it seems to be a bit larger than my other blazer. Should I get the same size (4?) or go with the medium one (3?). As the item is on final sale and returns not accepted, I want to be cautious.

Why not just use your smartphone though?!

Not sure why you think it looks larger, but that particular blazer fits slim for yohji standards, I would say it fits like a 50 (true to size) not so much oversized.

The parka for women is tapered. I think it is meant to fit the curves better.

Do the CCP drip sneakers fit like all other CCP footwear, one size larger than marked? I've never been able to find a pair in a US12 comparable size and I'm going to put down a custom order in my size.

If I'm a US12 in everything, I need a 11 in CCP, right?

[blackfedora]

^ It works for me that way. My drips are CCP 10 and fit US11/EU44 when I use the factory insoles. Several other pairs I have tried on also fit this rule. The u-sole drips require me to size down to a CCP 9 though. There is often a little bit of variation between batches, but I think your choice is correct.

How warm are RO Wool coats averagly and is the quality decent?
Would they protect me from temperatures down to - 20 degree?
Don`t want to spend lots of money in "stylish" outerwear,
that isn`t functionally, so hope someone could help me.

This depends on the coat I assume. I own the hooded wool coat from FW12 and it's fairly warm, but won't protect me up to -20. Also I'm quite hesitant for wearing a wool coat in snowstorms.

thank you for your help beyondthemeans. - 20 degree is the absolutly worst case of bad winter weather, where I live, not the common rule, so I think, I could buy. Also details of the material`s compilation, might help, for a better assessement. 65 % New Wool, 25 % Nylon, 10 % Cashmere.
