First, off two Visvim t-shirts!
This one is unfortunately too small. I'm going to see if my sister wants it.
This one has such a cool button. It's made of deer horn, so neat. It was kind of hard to photograph though.
Details:
Then this aawesome silk Phablic x Kazui shirt that's apparently made from vintage materials, and also has the craziest tag I've ever seen. I'd never heard of this brand before, but it's dope.
Crazy tag:
Next was these great Brú Na Bóinne pants. They're the perfect length but a little tight on the waist, so I'm using them as my motivation to lose some weight. Can't wait to wear them all the time. The buttons on the fly seem to be copper. Nice touch.
Then this Robert Geller shirt, with what I can only explain as asymetrical ribbed panels.
Then this flippin amazing Ffixxed button-down. I'm not an expert on fabrics so I could be wrong, but I think it's sashiko fabric?
And my favorite clothing piece of the bunch, a nylon Nepenthes jacket. It's so leightweight and sporty and shiny and I love it.
And that was just the clothes! There was also this White Mountaineering belt! Quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever owned.
AND this Needles scarf:
AND a Fashion Director's File with spreads on some of my favorite designers. I'm planning on scanning a bunch of them as soon as I can. Some really awesome stuff.
Basically I got some really excellent stuff and Transperenti is awesome. I seriously am so stoked about everything!
Here's a quit fit with the jacket and belt:

Everything came in a backpack that matched what I was dying to get my hands on. A sweet North Face White Label Day pack! I had originally requested a Purple Label but this is just as sweet!
Inside the pack was a bunch of lovely things. The first things I pulled out were the two Bape tees. They don't fit me as of right now so I think I'm going to try and stretch them and if that doesn't do it they might go to my brother for his birthday coming up. I do hope it works and I get to keep them for myself.
Following those two shirts was one super sweet shirt that I am probably most excited about despite it being in pretty rough condition. A Y's for men shirt! A cool long cut and soft feel that I hope to wear as the weather warms up with some cropped baggier pants or something like that. Regardless probably my second favorite piece in the box behind that backpack. Super stoked about it.
Lastly as far as clothing was a nice little Supreme beanie in excellent condition. It even had part of the hang tag on it. From SS13.
Finally was this awesome magazine! I'm love it, so many cool things to flip through and has cool inspo shots in it.
I can't thank you enough Trasparenti! Thank you for the package and for in some ways showing me a new side of fashion and the world of Japanese fashion. I went in knowing very little about Japanese brands and out of my excitement I began reading the Japanese brands thread and learning more about Japanese brands and especially ones I had never heard of. So thank you again!.

Long story short there was one pair of pants I was looking for that I could only locate in Japan. helped me doing the proxy. Thank you!
So here it is. Form dries, blend of cotton and linen with a jacquard pattern. Really nice fabric. You can see details in the second picture.
I also got some postcards from various DVN collections (back to 2001)

Did any of you have to pay customs duty? I don't know if Germany is stricter than other countries with this, but pretty much all parcels go through customs here and get looked through. Depending on the worth of the parcel including shipping you have to pay like 20% of that in fees. But how much is a parcel full of used japanese clothing really worth, you know what I'm saying?
That stressed out customs officer in his mid 50s (who looked at me like I was a maniac when I went to pick up my expensive japanese boots) is gonna have one hell of a time trying to accurately determine the value of that parcel. Because it's pretty much impossible to do so and there is no official receipt or anything.
@Trasparenti, do you maybe have any experience with that? I think you have to declare the value of each parcel when you send it, right?

First off is this super cool sweater from Gentle Man:
CDG Play Alice tee:
Soph.Net crewneck:
"BLEEDER" tee (perhaps from :
A Bape Shirt that my brother is going to be very stoked about:
Work Not Work button up with a super cool button scheme:
A MHL jacket, just kills me that it's a size too small:
Linen Trove cargo shorts that will be getting heavy rotation this summer:
Lad Musician lightweight scarf? kerchief?:
But wait there's more! The next three things are my absolute favorite, and even just getting them would have made this well worth it.
United Arrows Blue Label Gore-Tex jacket with a sweeeet funnel collar:
Some crazy baggy shorts/capri things. These things are massive, I'm 6" and they go a good 6 in. past my knees. They are also insanely comfortable. My friends will definitely make fun of me for wearing these in public sometime this summer. Never heard of the brand.
Absolutely crazy pair of Suicokes. how did you know that from the ages of 10-20, my favorite color was purple? Another awesome thing that my friends will definitely make fun of me for wearing in public (perhaps with the capris?)
Also:
Dope little tote bag, perfect size for a 6-pack! (Which is all I end up carrying in tote bags anyway)
STYLE in LA RIGHT NOW:
And of course, it all came in a Porter bag:
Once again, thank you so much Trasparenti.

I do want to mention that I'm shutting down this project for now after I finish the packages for the people on the list and the people who are currently PMing me. It's been a fun month or so but it's been quite busy and occasionally difficult. I can't say I don't enjoy it though. Anyways, give me a little while to get through everyone - looks like there may be 10 people overall, including PM people - cuz I'm dealing with a more hectic work schedule, but everyone will get the cool stuff they wanted soon.
I haven't forgotten about , who has been insanely patient. Soon I need to sit down and devote some time to figuring out how to procure the 2 magazines from Amazon I ordered for him so long ago (which has been a massive headache due to the postal service and sellers). I just wanna say thanks to Iliam to being so forgiving/patient and being the first person to send me money for cool stuff. You'll have all of your Purples soon!
