    You can call Serpentine in Toronto, they carry WM and might have the piece you are looking for; avoids duty and potentially expensive shipping.

          Anyone clarify this?

          depends on season / item. many uppers last couple of seasons have been fitting pretty much one size smaller imo, but now imho we seem to be back to 'normal' tho rick is notoriously inconsistent.

              pants and coats tend to fit large, blazers super slim, and leathers tend to be closer to normal. well, normal based on rick's system of 46=xs and so on.

                like Shucks just said, it varies by both season and individual item.

                  Has anyone sold to high end consignment shop in NYC before like INA or Tokyo 7?

                  I know generally they are a major rip off compared to selling on your own, but I've got a bunch of stuff that just isn't moving on ebay that I'm sick of looking at. Would it be worth trying them or am I gonna get painfully ripped off? Would you recommend one over the other?

                    I wish I had an option like that out here. I'm too lazy to even list most of the stuff I want to sell :(

                      RE INA/ TOKIO 7 If you dont mind that they take 60% of your sale its a great option , they write you a monthly check for sold stuff
                      They pretend to have quite a high standard for stuff but will take most high end stuff if priced to sell

                          A picture of col.03 (the colour is sometimes referred to as urine) drips can be seen here on the INK. However I have seen a pair in person and they were overall lighter; darker variants are probable due to batch differences and carol's carrot consumption...

                            considering how much they charge in between, if you already have a listing for the items, why not just list it at 2/3 or even half the price and see if it moves? you'll still be left with the same amount you'd get from the stores..

                              Yea, you're right it doesn't make sense to let them take 60% especially when you only get paid if it sells anyway. The only reason I was considering it is if they would buy it outright as some consignment stores give this option (though they take a bigger cut when they do this) but looks like both stores only pay once it sells.

                                Does anybody have experience with the Plokhov tanker trousers that have button closures at the cuffs? What happens to the cuffs if my legs are shorter than the inseam? Will I need to alter it or will it look okay? With other pants, I can just let them bunch up, but I am worried about the button cuffs
