*** Visvim thread: Dissertation on a Japanese Holy Spirit ***

Does anyone know what the sizing is like on the Wabanaki boot? Would a US11 be too small if I have US12 Virgils?

After a long search, I finally managed to snag a lhamo robe (the long robe coat). I love it, the detail is insane. Was just wondering what the two interior ties are for? I’d think it would be too give the robe a more open stance, but I don’t know why they put two right next to each other. Anyone have this piece and can run me down all the ways to wear it?

Can’t answer your question but just wanted to say congrats on your find
Despite the pricing and such whenever I get a new Vis piece I love the details so much I just stare at them for a few minutes. There are just some pieces that no one does better (based solely on online shopping photo searches.)

It’s been a grail for a while. I got the navy Giza chino robe they only sold at FIL off YJP. I proxyed it. Was an expensive purchase and have had my eye on it for a while. Was gonna be my first proxy experience, but zenmarket blocked it because the seller didn’t have much feedback. Gave me time to get the hang of proxying. I went back and saw the seller had accumulated more feedback and was unblocked.

Really wish Visvim would run the lhamo robe more. Seems they have quit releasing it and instead are focusing on other robes. It’s probably my favorite of the robes they make.

I think I saw a Lhamo coming out this Fall/Winter. I forget what the color/fabric was but it was right next to the Kiyaris during the trunk show.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. ? Had the same when I first saw my Grizzlys, Sanjuro and Six-Five.

As I say, marking as a gift may work. I got some Lama sandals that were £120 and they were marked as a gift. No fees.

I have a stamped Jumbo hoodie coming tomorrow so will let you know what happens.

Unless you find an individual who will do it for you, it's your only option really I'm afraid.

The hoodie just arrived. Got stung with £41 fees. The item value was 26.5k yen, so paid around £250 in total. This is the item.

Retail is over £600 here so it is a good deal, but just hate paying fees, after having not done for the past dozen Zenmarket parcels. If the price is right on Mercari, it can be worth it, but the packaging is definitely poorer, considering that you don't need to pay extra with Zenmarket for indivudally wrapped pieces, bubble wrap and a box. The hoodie came in a plastic bag, wrapped in a paper bag, wrapped again completely in parcel tape!

Slightly large. Not as much as the Jumbo Eigers.

Cheers. Is it me or does the sole wear not match the scratches and creasing on the leather?

I noticed that. But he could be driving a car and working in an office building where theres minimal rough surfaces. Or hes just wearing those inside the house to break it in
