If it makes you feel any better they only had 45s left in the cp derbies.
Those black NS for $74 shipped is a steal if anyone needs a 31 or 33.

damn I was eyeing that acne coat in a 50! good purchase and I'm jealous


Available at Mr Porter (UK, not US) in 50, about the same price (70% off). It was sold out at MrP previously, probably somebody returned it. I was hesitating to take it in my size (50IT) or size down, but looking at measurements at Mr P does not seem too big, although the models on both sites are wearing a sized down version.

I'm going to return the MMM navy blazer in a 50 that's sold out at Matches if by chance anyone is interested.

Yes. However it's not always the case.
For wool/cotton stuff, after VAT deducted and add import duty, you may pay 2-3% percent lower than UK price or about 1% percent higher than UK price. depends on the material, cotton, nylon, wool, knits or woven.
For leather jacket, after VAT deducted and add import duty, you pay pay about 92% percent of UK price. For some stuff, UK pricing is already lower than US pricing. If you are going to make purchase a 1000 GBP jacket. for same discount UK pricing is cheaper. What you get is far more than the 30 GBP shipping.
For most of credit card companies, you need to pay 3% percent transaction fee, and, US import duty is not refundable.
For example UK price is 1000, after VAT deducted is 900 and import tax is 50. You end up paying 950+30 shipping=980 for the item
If you return, you will only get 900 back and 30 shipping and 50 import duty is non-refundable.
I don't know if you are going to pay extra return shipping.


This sounds good? So if I wanted to buy a $1000 wool coat from the UK site knowing I won't return it, I should do it?
