Small questions thread

Depends on the machines you use. Like jskidder, I've washed all my rick tees (sheer, thick cotton etc) repeatedly in the machine on a delicate cycle and they've lasted fine.

The thick cotton ones I've tumbledried too, they shrink very little and stretch back out. I've noticed the drier puts a little bit more stress on them even though the machine is fairly delicate. since they are not in water when spinning like they are in the washer, there is more abbrasion and it can result in some fading at the seams and edges.

Is my understanding correct that if I make a deposit to FromJapan and then don't win my bid, they refund the money to my credit card after a few weeks?

[k3mist]

that is correct.
im not sure if this applies to credit cards, but for paypal deposits, you can choose to 'refund back to paypal anytime you want. its instantaneous.

I have a shearling bomber that I wish fit a bit tighter. I was wondering if anyone has ever washed or dunked one in hot water to shrink it before?

[Shucks]

nope but the ones i've seen in store always looked a bit shady with regards to stitching etc.

I've handled the low ones briefly and they didn't feel that great to be honest, kind of flimsy. I imagine (/hope) the mainline leather ones being more substantial

Looking for pants/jeans that work with someone who has a more than a non-existent ass. For example, jeans like diors definitely do not work on me because the waist is too small compared to the knee down. They hug my butt slightly while the hem isn't even that tight. Any options for me? Something looser up top but still tight on the way down. It's hard to find pants that look good on me :\

6 foot tall, 165 lbs, 18" waist is most comfortable (for reference)

Someone just asked a similar question on sufu and I told him Zam's stuff has that kind of fit.

[okayvin]

zam's stuff also have huge thighs on some of the styles

[the breaks]

That's true. I sized down...

Not sure where to put this, figure this is probably the best thread.

Anyone recognise which designer produced the below? Came across these images on my hardrive. Seem to recollect it was Japanese, from about 2011 and the womens was excellent.

Cheers! That was quick and easy

[gawkrodger]

oh, and one last related question - I seem to recollect there were no stockists outside Japan. A quick google suggests this is still the case. Is this correct?
