what size are you in Alden Barrie last or CP Achilles? If you are 11.5 alden barrie last then i would safe moving up 1/2 size but if you are 11 Alden barrie last then i would need to move up a whole size.

@dieworkwear do you have any advice on VSVM sneaker sizing as compared to Alden barrie last?

I don't have either, but to be blunt, don't buy expensive shoes that you can't return. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Even if you can get a great deal, it's much more expensive in the longrun.

The Real Real has affordable Visvim shoes on consignment, and they take returns. Some eBay sellers do as well.

I'm an 8.5 on the Alden Barrie, 9D on the Brannock, and I took a 9 in the bamboo print version of the Skagway. I think I could have one half a size down (so 8.5), but the 9 felt comfortable, so I just went with it. I wear them with thick socks.

had no idea the Real Real had vis. just not a lot of selection in my size.

So, Skagway sizing... same as maliseets/FBTs? Tempted to pull the trigger on my 1st pair of skagway hi.

 

[Fycus]

skagway size down .5 from fbt and maliseet. Skags run same as converse to me, and going TTS tends to have a bit too much room. They may be snug at first but they'll break in. YMMV however, as others mentioned may be best to try on.

Cheers mate! Good to know

Picked up my first kerchief from mr. SK. His service is A1 and thanks to everyone co-signing him! I got a 4 but realized I need a 5. Can’t complain though. Piece is absolutely amazing.

^ great pickup. I feel those should fit a little snug cause it's more like a shirt

Thanks!

lol trust me if I could wear it as just a shirt vs an Overshirt/jacket I would. I have super broad shoulders so the top is snug but the torso is just right.

Yeah, those bandana pieces all fit small - an amazing piece though (I have my eye out for a beige bandana one)

they do. One of the trickiest things when buying Visvim is figuring out sizing. Good luck hunting down that beige!

If anyone wants to trade their 5 for this 4 lmk!

Beautiful piece. what size blazer (e.g. 42) and tee (e.g. Large) do you wear? assuming size 4 was supposed to be a large but fits more like a medium? mr. SK is a proxy correct? what is the pricing differential from buying already landed in USA?

I’m Between a L and XL depending on the brand. 46/48 in blazers. A 4 is a JP XL / US L.
Mr. SK is a proxy service. Kerchiefs you’ll look to pay a hefty penny but it’s something I really wanted.

Legendary piece. True grail.

If you can't find a trade, I'd be tempted to buy the 4 off you...

I already showed the kerchief, but wanted to share my recent Visvim haul.

also, major major s/o to the good folks at Canoe Club. their service is amazing and they’re really dope people. Picked up the jumbo hoodies and handyman from them.
