Does anyone know a good place to source quality zippers in NYC or online, or the best way to contact Raccagni (or find raccagni zippers specifically)? Should I give up and just go YKK?

Pacific Trimming sells RiRi. Panda (international?) does as well.
I'm pretty positive Botani sells Lampo. All are in midtown.

werkstatt ring has got to a terrible state of rust, dullness and dirt. Will a silver clothe restore it properly or anyone have any solutions?

How can a silver ring get rusty? I am sure if you just email them, they'll send you instructions on how to clean and restore it.

Thanks for the zipper advice everyone!

Hello all -

Was wondering if anyone is familiar with addidas X RO sizing (not the blade runner). what's the equivalent size for RO mainline sneakers for size 37 and size 40 (geobasket)?

Been a while...

Anyway if there are nails showing under the soles of a shoe is this sign of bad wear or is it normal? Mainly concerning Carpe Diem footwear specifically.

What are some good sites to find archival raf for sale?
I've tried the common ones like YJP, Guyi, etc.
Was hoping someone could give me some more to look at, thanks!

Does someone know a place online that carries Kuboraum and would like to special order me something?
I would like to purchase some sunglasses, but with just plain black glasses (not the gradient one's they come with). Kuboraum told me that they don't offer this service unless you order it through a store.

Anyone has experience doing this and can recommend me a place?

You should wait for the SZ 10th anniversary special edition ones

Will those be available online as well? I can't make it to NY unfortunately

We are still thinking about this, but we will definitely give preference to those who come to the store.

Would be cool – can’t really afford a trip to NYC (from Germany), but a little something to support SZ might be do-able.

K.H. Store

Hi, is the K.H. store in Cologne still opened?

Does anyone on SZ use a coin pouch as her/his regular wallet? I'm fed up with having a bulky porte-monnaie and decided I'd use something radically smaller that will fit in my jeans' back-pocket if necessary. I've ordered and received a beautifully (mis-)treated horse-leather pouch by Ricky O and while it is much flatter it still has quite a big surface. I'm worried my stacked credit cards might rub against each other and somehow get damaged (although they didn't move at all when I shaked the pouch intensively). Any field reports/suggestions? I actually kinda made up my mind and want to keep it but my stupid conscious tells me I'd rather ask you people just to be 100% sure.

Anyone here have a pair of Guidi's 420s or 621s? These look like they're replicating boxing boots. I love the profile, but I fear for the sole's durability.
