very nice ! that long ss00 shirt/jacket , or at least on of the iterations, has a great quote on it (in Korean--was translated here by some kind fellow many pages ago). i was watching that ss07 suspender jacket, went for quite the bidding ride. but not as bad as that ss15 jacket, as i prepared to bid, it had already blasted off to jupiter. 65k for a used piece that retails 88k :violin:

Yes, but it currently retails for the equivalent of around 195k in Europe, for instance...

Haha, that bidding ride was all me :p

I was the only bidder for almost the whole time it was up, then in the last hour someone else put in one bid and then the rest of the bids were me slowly justifying going over my budget. My internal monologue was going "you can totally afford another 1000jpy...okay, sure another 1000jpy why not..."

So in the end every bid except for one was mine, and that one bid was still too high for me. I know that there is no advantage to bidding in increments but I seem to have some kind of psychological barrier to just putting in my maximum and walking away. I have to be there at the last minute adjusting my bid just in case.

Well, that was a quick winter....thanks climate change!

So now thinking if the experts here can advise on the best YY cozy summer pants, like hakamas, etc.

Thanks!

I am no expert, but I'm finding that I very much like the standard thick cotton jersey pants that seem to have been a standard reoccurring item over the years. I think they were produced as recently as 2012. Usually the hem is wide, so that my not be your thing. If you can get the cut to work for you they are supremely comfortable pants. Here they are in brown--yikes! Wear them, hate them, destroy them, be freed.
