But could make it unpleasant to walk in with all that cushion between feet and ground. I thought maybe you guys knew a better way!

You could take the Devoa insole out. Buy some stiff leather- I have some 1/4" leather that was cut for soles and is fairly stiff- trace, cut, insert then reinsert Devoa and see how it goes. A tight fit will keep the leather from sliding around. I have some too big shoes and was surprised how really thick socks fixed the problem- wool can wick moisture away from your feet and a more open weave allows air circulation. Easier than my first suggestion and you can play around with combining the two solutions.

OK, maybe odd question.
I ordered a piece from Hervia (Manchester, UK), and when I got it the security tag was still attached.
Hervia said I can send it back and they will take it off, and return it to me; however, I will end up paying duty on it again when they send it back ($200 USD).
Looked at the usual videos on Youtube (burn it, crack it, freeze it, etc). I basically sawed off the top to see if I could get into the guts of it, nada.
There is not enough room between the sensor and the pin to pry it apart, pretty much flush. Also the fabric is pretty delicate.
So questions
1) by sawing off the top, if I should happen to find a shop that can take it off, would it still be possible. E.G. have f'ed it up somehow and it's stuck on forever
2) anyone know of a shop in NYC that would amenable to doing that? I have the receipt so I can prove I paid for it. Gap, Uniqlo, Macys, etc, said they won't do it
3) barring all of that, any reccos on a master tailor in NYC? Worst case I figure I can take it to tailor and they can just open the seam and remove it
For reference it's this piece ... https://www.hervia.com/silk-organza-blazer-beige
The sensor is on along the seam of the pocket, covered by the flapIt's absolutely Hedious!

Technically you wouldn’t be charged duties. It wouldn’t be considered a commercial shipment - they would indicate “return / repair” on the commercial invoice. You should be fine, especially if they are covering shipments both ways. They also use DHL - so they can easily note this when shipping back to you.
I’ve purchased from them many times and they’ve always been solid to deal with.

Anyone has this sweater and issues with the stability of the back tag?
The super soft cashmere and the way the tag is attached to the back shoulder seems problematic.
Mine already seems infinitesimally ripped above the tag.
Any idea how to ‚reinforce‘ it or should I just re-brand the whole thing into a LUC hoodie right away?
