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

[Hanto]

@Hanto ever since you announced you would stop purchasing Visvim one year or two ago, you have been literally doing the complete opposite in the most furious way ? nice kops though

It has been a struggle. Does Hiroki have an AA type service? #visvimganganonymous.#

To be honest I am more of a sucker for 'deals' than anything and do get strong bouts of FOMO. Just so happens that Visvim is my muse atm. Last year it was Jacques Marie Mage, the year before, Diadora/Sneaker collabs. Plus if I can get a good price for something, it is essentially paid for if I need to flip it, as I don't need to take as much of a hit on it being used.

Have you loosened them? (gotta say I only realised I could do that a few weeks ago).

Ha Ha Ha

Anyone with a small waist want these?

Can any recommended a few flattering Visvim short styles? Looking to pickup a daily pair for the summer and don't want anything super baggy or long.

Most of the newer stuff is around knee length. If you want something shorter, I’d look at Pastoral shorts from last seasons.

I’m making a stop on my road trip to check out the Santa Fe store. Anyone have recommendations for shops or dining in Santa Fe? Already planning on going to Shiprock and Standard and Strange.

This isn’t a Visvim question per say, but does anyone know what spot in the description on Japanese marketplaces means? I thought it meant the item should be dry cleaned, but I have seen it on washable items. Context seems to indicate it’s usually on limited run items.

I'm looking at shorts too but am after the Eiger shorts, which are baggier. I would look at EG and Orslow Fatgues/New Yorker shorts.

Does anyone know if the Eiger short sizing has changed at all in recent years? The new release is ridiculously priced. It's gone up 17k yen in 2-3 years!

These are the most recent measurement.
SIZE 3 : Waist 40.7 , Inseam 11.1 , Thigh width 15.1 , Hem width 11.5 (inch)
SIZE 4 : Waist 42.7 , Inseam 11.7 , Thigh width 15.6 , Hem width 12 (inch)
SIZE 5 : Waist 44.7 , Inseam 12.3 , Thigh width 16.1 , Hem width 12.5 (inch)

I am looking at the '18 releases.

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

I kopped them, basically Brand new, only tried on, the scratches are less prominent in person and it looks like they resulted from shocks during transportation, the veggie tan leather is very supple and marks easily.

 

[Hanto]

Ah fair enough. Good buy! Did it have tags etc? Would love to see some better pics.

 

[Emixam]

No tags/box will post pics later. They fit perfectly my us12. 5. In my experience they fit roomier than grizz, cuz toe box is higher and a tad wider too.

 

[Retlas]

Nice mate... looking forward to the pics

I'm hoping my listing them here didn't bring them to your attention! Is the canvas navy? Couldn't tell from the pics.

 

[Emixam]

I am constantly browsing y! For size 12 so we must have spotted them at the same time. I was surprised they didn't get more attention, I thought they would sell as immediate buy instantly, but most people may have been misled by the pics of the leather? They are supposed to be burgundy, but looks more brownish to me, and paired with navy kersey cloth yes.
