Really misjudged the weather today after a few warm days in the UK. Was very cold and the 101 was not enough all day in London haha

Carhartt

Anyone know where one can find black or olive 7-holes in 8/8.5? Been checking all the usual marketplaces for the past few months, but nothing comes up in my size or the seller doesn't respond.

For those who have had success with finding in store inventory that wasn't online, are you just calling and ordering over the phone or going through a proxy service to find out? Thanks!

ICT event this time around seemed a bit underwhelming compared to the last go around…

I’m obsessed with that ND lumber shirt. It looks so ordinary, but so perfect.

The check shirt? That was part of a general release half a year or so ago wasn’t it?

A small batch was released half a year ago, yes. Whether they produced new pieces, are putting out previous stock, or are simply releasing some withheld (but previously made) items is unknown.

It looks fake anyway, judging by the sizing label, so wouldn't worry too much!

Sorry to be banging on about Insulator's again. Has the sizing changed much in recent years, and is the sizing different from other down pieces? I wasn't sure, with the elasticated cuffs, if it would be too small? I have a 101 down vest in a 4, which is quite roomy, even layered, so not sure if I a 4 would be ok for me. I have a 4 in an Iris vest, 3, in an Iris jacket and am normally 3s in jackets. Usually 4s in Jumbos etc.

was this a price mistake by END? I saw it a few days back and thought that’s cheap for any visvim jacket when not direct from visvim these days. I was going to cop then went back and all were gone

It's ¥ 50,600 in Japan. Seems like either a pricing mistake or some specific detail about this item allowed it to be imported without customs (like ICT).

I guess we'll also know on Saturday when the US store uploads their stuff.

Hey Visvim gang. I asked in the ZenMarket thread, but since it's been rather dead for a while now, I figured I would try my chances here as well.

What's the latest on lowering value on stuff through ZM? If it's not done there anymore, then do you have any other good proxies that let's you lower the value?

TIA

they still let you lower the value. The only time I’ve seen them limit that was when I bought something for around $2,000. Not sure what the specific threshold was but I had to mark it at least I think 10 or 20% of the value. And they only let me use certain shipping companies. I recall I had to use FedEx when my preference was UPS.

but prior to that, buying stuff less than $1000 I’ve consistently marked stuff as low as I wanted

I fear one day though they’ll stop it. Buyee used to let you change value but not anymore. Zen will surely get in trouble at some point down the line stop doing it

My experience has been in the last 6-8 months they’ve moved to only allowing you to lower the declared customs amount to a minimum of 10% of the purchase price, and that can only be done via FedEx or DHL.
