Small questions thread

[lowrey]

I'm not very familiar with Yohji sizing, can anyone advise is a 2 or 3 closer to a 48? I've read conflicting opinions... I believe when I've tried Yohji before a size 2 fit me better but I think 3 is the sample size?

There's a shirt I'm thinking about ordering online and can't try on first, I want it to fit relaxed but not huge.

if it's any help, I'm a regular to big 50 and the two Yohji shirts I have in 3 fit relaxed, but not oversized. By relaxed I mean that they are not fitted around the torso, shoulders and sleeves are somewhat fitted but not tight by any means. One of them is current season, other one a couple of seasons old.

I vote 2.

How's the quality on Boris' Bambas from FW15/16?

I've heard that there may be issues with the sole.

Thanks

i don't know if he fixed them but the bambas i had are terrible quality on the soles, which is my only (but still sizeable) qualm with them.

Must be why they now have the double sole variation:

You mean after vibramming them Gregor?

[gregor]

i don't really understand the question, but i elected not to vibram them, which i really should have. the stock sole disintegrates really quickly.

after vibramming they should be fine but the sole had a really odd grip to begin with.

[Arkady]

That was the question, it's pretty clearly made of a rubber that breaks into pieces from impact so probably should be treated like leather and vibrammed immediately.

[skavant]

Is it that necessary to vibram them or heel taps are just fine? I myself also own a pair of Bamba3 but I haven't done anything to them yet.

[gregor]

oh, then yes, absolutely, they do require some on top of treading lightly.

i'd say heel taps are probably fine as the heel obviously wears faster than the rest of the shoe, but honestly maybe they fixed the issue. mine were fw12 so there's a gap in my knowledge of their quality.

Recently picked up a bbs wool/nylon knit (f/w weight) from a seller, and the left shoulder/upper arm/just below armhole is noticeably looser than the right, otherwise condition is near perfect.

Is there are any way I can shrink back this side to match the other? I fear the guy might have hung up the sweater while he had it.

Thanks

Looking to get some shorts for the summer. Thoughts on pods vs memphis pods?

Does anyone here know of any other Damir Doma online stockist other than their own webstore, ssense, matches and those on farfetch?

Looking to get some shorts for the summer. Thoughts on pods vs memphis pods?

i own both kinds of shorts and went for light, coated drkshdw memphis and thick wool regular pods. memphis is super practical (10 pockets or so) and rougher/utilitarian-looking, which goes well with some of the technical stuff i like to wear. pods are more of an understated, classic look, obviously. like to pair them with rick blazers especially.

Re: Rick shorts
The basket swingers in the silk-blend iteration are great for extreme summer temperatures.

[falkenauge]

can someone explain what "object dyed" means?

I've tried Google but couldn't find an answer.
