Re: Rick Owens leathers



I don´t have time to hunt for clothes but I could gladly order stuff online in Europe and ship it onwards declared as you guys wish. Hopefully someone would be willing to to me the same favour should I need it.

Re: Rick Owens leathers



matches doesnt have a oki-ni level of ridiculousness to the customs for whatever reason. I bought a 1500 leather jacket rick owens from them last season and got hit with a whopping 82 dollars in customs.

YMMV

Re: Rick Owens leathers

merz, you might want to ask your proxy to just contact the seller and offer a BIN price.

[winQ]

Re: Rick Owens leathers

It doesn't, but I'm sure the seller would oblige to a generous BIN price if you offer it, since cloak isn't too hot in japan. Just my experience when an item of this much worth pops up to always offer or ask for a BIN from the seller.. I still kick myself for losing out on that a/w 06 julius riders.. ack

Re: Rick Owens leathers



is anyone here going for that cloak hooded vest? looks like it's going to end pretty cheap.

too bad it's size medium.

[tofu]

Re: Rick Owens leathers

measurements come out to a ~40" chest unless i screwed up somewhere... seems kind of roomy :(

[tofu]

Re: Rick Owens leathers



good call...

i suppose even if it didn't fit, it'd be pretty easy to resell here in the US to at least break even.

someone's using sharpservice already, apparently. have to find another proxy asap if i decide to go for it.

i'm on that teal knit coat, since no one here seemed called dibs. the vest would make a nice plan B.

Good Finds

[quote user="merz"]

yeah, but how do you do 51cm chest circumferance (half) if 1) your shoulder width is exactly 42 and the whole thing is rigged with pullcords that tighten it in the chest and waist area for a snug fit? ..the chest width thing doesn't make sense because photos show it more or less inline with the shoulderspan, certainly not much wider?

Further, we know that cotton items from this season were washed post-cut and shrunk as a consequence, so i'd say if you're normally a cloak size s (46) ..size m from that season is a decent chance of fitting as far as cottons go..Minomni has pretty much demonstrated the same, and i'll wait for bakla to chime in.

Wait, what are we talking about here? The titles all respond to "Rick Owens leathers" but it seems we're talking about Cloak. Is there a link to the fabled find? Or is that being left in the dark for merz to swoop in more effectively?[H]

Re: Good Finds



bakla they're talking about the hooded cloak vest going on Y! Japan :-)

As for the hussar I believe we're all praying to the SZ gods to come through for merz!

Re: Good Finds

Ah, I see. As for the vest, the Medium should fit like a small, since that's a FW04 pattern. Everything was a size smaller that season, even the leathers. The Hussar one is after FW04, and I didn't purchase after that season, so I can't really speak for sizing.
