I have an ma+ flax knit top and a Lumen Et Umbra jersey coat, they need a wash. They are both unhemmed garments and obviously cannot put into the washing machine. Does anyone know the best way to go about hand washing and drying these without ruining them especially the ma+ top which is really delicate and could become fuzzy and/or unravel itself? I don't really have access to a good dry cleaners at this time.

i have black comme des garcons drop crotch trousers in 100% laine wool. the horizontal seams on the belt loop and the vertical seams that make up the exaggerated crotch are sewn inside out on the front panel. is there a corresponding jacket to these pants? i am not sure where to look. i can post photos if needed.

I'm looking to purchase a white and/or black mens oversized button up/tunic. I'm looking for recommendations. What's everyone's favorite rendition of this piece?

From experience it usually takes 3-4 days on average from end of auction to receiving the item at the proxy office, don't worry too much about it.

First time using a proxy for Yahoo jp purchase, it's been 3 days since I won the auction and the item still hasn't arrived at Sutocorp's offices. Does it usually take this long? I would have expected it to take 1 day max.

how is it possible for an item to arrive in 1 day max considering payment first has to be sent, acknowledgement of payment, then seller going to the post office to ship said item, and then arriving at the proxy.

just domestic shipping time alone can sometimes take up to a few days depending on distance.

unrealistic expectations.

Looking for some tabi shoes along the lines of what MMM has done... Just some low shoes, not boots, for men. Any ideas?

I'd look towards Japanese or Chinese designers. They're basically high end ninja boots. I'm sure there's a cheap house shoe variant that'd look great with cdg, inaisce, yohji, etc. good luck!

[ambrosian]

I was thinking that would be the case... Thanks, time to do some research then

It's better to removed.

My sale thread's name in the classifieds has "freezed" - may I ask admins to change it to something general like "Frequently updated sale thread"? Reluctant to re-post all the items and the name currently does not reflect the situation :)

If yes - who's the best person to contact?
