Grailed is in my opinion the best clothing marketplace site there is. Much better than feebay and easier to navigate than Rakuten.

Shit, yeah I use Grailed too, forgot to mention that. There's a pair of in my size for $295 right now... I'll see if I can barter it down.

how is the sizing on the Thins? I wear a 27 in Ace but the smallest size they produce for Thin is 28..

Hmm, I'd say their about TTS, but there is 2% elastane or something of that nature, so perhaps a 27 will fit a 28.

Hi guys.I recently purchased a julius jacket and since i think that it doesnt fit me as good as a i wanted i decided to sell/trade it.Since i dont know much about those jackets can you tell me for how much do they cost in retail price inorder to calculate the the trade value?Its from around '10 season i think.For example in general is a viridi anne jacket more expensive than a julius or an obscur maybe?
Also to determine the condition:i've seen pictures like this listed as (almost) perfect condition (worn for like a dozen times) but you can see the wear in the arms and the "wrinkled" leather.Is this normal?
Can you recommend me some other brand in the same style but with more thick/wintery leather type of jackets?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english

Without knowing anything about the actual jacket itself, I would say most _7 leathers go for anywhere from $700 - $1000.
The condition of the jacket is based more so if there's any rips in the lining or any fraying in the stitching on the jacket. Leather can take a heavy beating so any wrinkling or look of wear shouldn't really play a factor in determining the condition, maybe besides showing that it's not brand new.

You could look at F/W versions of Rick's Stooges which often offer a thicker lining in cashmere or some material of that sort.

Well, those prices are true within Japan perhaps, but don't they reach at or above $3,000 in the USA? A look at Gordini shows one piece going for about $1200 USD. Wear-edness would certainly take the condition down, just maybe not the longevity (though sometimes).

IMO any signs of wear and tear ought to be reported.

Shit, I realized I misread his post and thought he was asking about resale value, not retail.

In that case, you're right, _7 leathers are anywhere from $2k - $3k retail.

thanks for the info, guess I'll stick with the Ace's until I can try a pair on somewhere.

[beyondthemeans]

I think the Ace have 2% as well though

[GucciAmen]

I think your right, the main thing is how the thin stay's are tight from top to bottom, I think they have a smaller hem as well.

Anyone got any experience with how long it takes for Hong Kong speed post to get to the states?

[dji]

^ 3 days to the DC metro area if it doesn't get held by customs.

[rickandjulius]

Damn, that's super impressive. Thanks.

Any fellow Aussies have experience ordering delivery-duty-unpaid stuff over a thousand AUD (the limit at which taxes actually apply)? I avoid doing so unless I know the seller will mark it as gift or something similar. But I want something from Antonioli, and I don't think they do that.

How likely am I actually to have to pay something? Do the tax-folk check every parcel? It looks like two separate taxes get applied, GST and import? heeeelp meeeee.

when u choose ur shipping address as australia,the price should include tax and all possible fees should paid when u check out

[dji]

Antonioli ship by DHL so if it's anything like the states the carrier will ask for the taxes upon delivery (in the US they only accept payment via cheque, fucked up system..), my understanding is the courier companies will always collect the fees and taxes where as it's luck of the draw with the regular postal service.
