Any of you guys ever bought from self edge b4? Do they provide us with tracking no. should we buy from them.

I read somewhere they are using global priority for international orders but with no tracking no. provided.

My Q is then how are we going to have a check on it ? Appreciate the help.

ok guys i'm selling off my BNWT Nudie Average Joe Dry Red Selvage (deadstock) W32/L34 (fit those waist W32,33 and 34)

bought this for quiet sometimes and never got a chance to wear it plus after my cycling activity i cant fit it due to small thigh size....

so letting it go at cost price i got it off cultizm minus shipping meaning cheaper then cultizm...plus special price if you want to deal in Putrajaya....strictly COD but if u want postage that can be arranged at no cost to you either but on your risk.....

holla at me...tomorrow i will open a thread in Lads Section.....when i'm free of works....

After wearing it for a few hours i dont think 21oz denim is not meant for our weather.. It's amazingly breathable and soft... Damn!!!! ( Specifically for Iron Heart, have yet to own any other 21oz denim)

anyone wear samurai jeans? i need an opinion on sizing, i normally wear size 33, shud i buy size 33 or 33?according to the size chart.
*
depends on model. some model is TTS some u need to size down or size up ! so ideally buy tagged size (33) as it ran a bit large (34 or 34.5)...so hot soak and it will shrink to tagged size (w33)......if u want slim look then go for size down by 1 tagged size (W32 actual W33).....but question is for those sizing down....are u willing to endure the pain?

btw what model u lookin at?

im looking for S0500xx or s5000VX 24oz,  on my current momo going to battle (no soak, wash) tag size is 33 (W34 actual), so i think i go to size W34 on samurai, once hot soak hopefully its size down to W33 izzit? but i do read on sufu, normal sammy will size down by 2, izzit?
*
U should go with samurai w33.....as w34 will be slighty too big in waist for u....

does rakuten prices is cheaper than other retailers?
or just because they offer direct shipping to msia?
*
depends on what item...for denim i can say their price is a "retail" price....means cheaper then those online shop selling in EUROPE or America.....even including shipping still worth it....the only problem is communication, return, refund etc.....buy only when u r sure the stock is available and know what you're buying specially size, model and cuts....

i suggest you are referring to the denim cault, not jeans vault
sweat.gif nope, not from denim vault  sweat.gif
its from a friend's personal store,
btw is unethical to mention the source of people selling it  grumble.gif
*
unethical ONLY for those who want to make QUICK BUCKS....

ethical if sharing the deals with other denim lover.....

check every known forum and theres a section for special deals etc where ppl shared where they can get good stuff at reasonable price...now tell me if that is unethical?

Where are  you getting the Red Wing , locally ? If so what's the address and contact ?

Thanks in advance.
*
sorry to interrupt.....but heres the address for THE ONLY local red wing distributors in Malaysia

their shop is in pertama complex, address as follow

Lot 1.30, 1st Floor pertama Complex Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman Kuala Lumpur, 50100 West Malaysia
Tel/Fax: (60) 3 2692 4233

this sale outlet company actually belong to

Leeden Sdn Bhd
Lot PT 5075, Jalan Jangur 28/43 Section 28, Hicom Industrial Estate Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan, 40400 West Malaysia
phone: +60-03 55228308
mysales.safety@leedenlimited.com
www.leedenlimited.com
fax: +60-03 55228309


Leeden is actually the main supplier for Petronas and other petroleum workers for their redwing boots - the PECOS.....
also if not mistaken they are also main supplier for Red Wing in Singapore. but they dont bring half size only full size, if u want half size u can custom order. They also do sole replacement.....hope this helps....

p/s: price is firm...i think 876, Chukkas is selling RM960 plus....Iron Ranger 1K plus....but their boat shoes is cheap less them RM500...but stock and sizes is limited.

The one I've managed to physically hold one was at Sole What in Gardens Mall near Mid Valley. I think there's another outlet in One Utama but I'm not sure.

I tried to check at Pertama Complex since the red wing web site mentioned the shop name, but I'm not sure whether they have the lifestyle boots or the normal work boots. Finding the shop was a bit confusing but when i managed to locate it, the shop was closed on Thursday.  sweat.gif

bear in mind there are reports of fakes out there. So be careful in purchasing one beforehand whether in store or online.  thumbup.gif 
I never saw the selvedge denims at wrangler, especially the MIA blue bell line.  sweat.gif
*
SW kicks is overprice hehe....only rich people will go there....smart ppl buy online....

anyway the fake you mention is being sold by the only RW official distro? where did you read it bro? pls share....

anyway the collection of RW in Pertama is quiet complete..i think they cover about 80% of the shoes....if u want other model you can custom order it including sizes....they also selling other accessories such as mink oil, wallet, t-shirt, lace, socks, etc;s....

well, so ethical means giving the source of a seller's item and telling the whole world that it is cheaper to get it there, not knowing that the source you mention is wrong? learn the difference!!!
imagine yourself going to a store, and tell everyone there you can get cheaper deals at other store. ethical enough? even worse, your assumption of source is wrong
*
ok "SMART BUSINESSMAN" sorry for interrupting or maybe spoiling your chances to make some easy bucks....i might be not getting the right name but i'm just guessing or asking...so why suddenly u feel offended? even the name is wrong so by right it should affect your potential business....

ALSO, bear in mind ...most of the time i'm here is to help my countryman, sharing info mostly.....so again is't wrong or unethical to tell them where to get stuff at reasonable price?....i for once never hide my source...coz this supposed to be a hobby.....i'm here to make friends.....not enemy....

again by all means if you want to make easy money from some of us or malaysian buyer....go ahead...no body stopping you...

but asking me to learn...oh my....i guess ABOUT TIME FOR YOU TO LEARN SOME RESPECT WHILE YOU"RE IN MALAYSIA.....

No offense to bro kevin and soulquarianz but i just wanna share my opinion here.

@kevin
i think u mean u dont wanna share ur source but unethical is quite a strong word..

@soulquarianz
i got ur point that u prefer to share ur findings rather than making money out of it.

My opinion, both of u have their own preferences and i respect ur decision. but as a reseller myself there's few things i need to highlight:
1. From the point of view of a reseller, it is correct they just wanna make profit. But in business, there is nothing wrong with it because the seller always make money from the buyer.However, there must be a mutual agreement between buyer and seller. If both comes to an agreement about the price, it's a win win situation, seller get profit, buyer gets their item. You also may call this profit as a service fee, reseller take their own time looking for bargains, use credit card, send to post office for delivery summore, etc etc. This service also can help those who dont own a credit card to make online puchase

2. However, reseller must take note, they cannot sell more than retail price or it will be unfair to buyer. Maybe buyer dont know the retail price so seller mark up the price so high. This normally appllies to so called limited edition stuff like SE collabs, N&F collabs etc. Reseller in LYN rarely does this way, maybe some people in Mudah did. Therefore, reseller should sell below that retail price so both parties have win win situation again. Buyer buy item below than retail price, seller gains profit.

3. Sharing is good but sharing too much is no good in the long run. Contributors like bro soulquarianz is generous enough to help people out there, i really appeciate that. But spoonfeeding these lurkers not doing them any good. Your findings should help our denim community but bear in mind that this is public forum. Everyone can see what we post over here, including Zairul multiple solution from Mudah, people that open denim boutique from Bread and butter, bro in BB plaza and Boothill shop in Giant Shah Alam. In the end, lurkers and reseller gonna get the bargains first. When u post 25% Redwing cultizm discount, suddenly got people selling Redwing in LYN Stuff for Lads section. See the trend

Anyway, im just voicing out my opinion over here so maybe we can come out to a solution. I already buy things online for a year, and i see these denim community starts growing up. Most of them already know how to buy things so i might share my findings to you guys, and maybe you u guys can share your findings too..

It is true that all those denim forum like Superfuture and Styleforum got their own Bargains and Discount Code thread and maybe we should create one too..I always come across great deals but i cannot buy everything because of money constraints, so i might let others to copped these bargains. but this thread maybe need some regular contributors, and maybe need password to see the link to avoid lurkers. Those who wanna know the password must pm the Moderator, and maybe those who wanna these password can can contribute a lil bit. These funds maybe we can use for denim competition winning prize.

I already think about this for a while but not really sure how to make it works especially the password thing. If u guys have any further comments just let me know
*
ok i have no qualms about it.....i'm cool and understand including your situation as a seller....and again sorry if i shared too much (maybe it will affect a lot of "potential businessman" here)...from now onwards i guess should just kept it between myself or among ppl i know if theres a deal etc or where to get/purchase stuff etc .......which is good also but then again as a malaysian i dont want them to suffer buying item overprice double or triple then retail....i just want to do some good deeds where they or anybody can find stuff at bargain or reasonable price....again if it's wrong to shared...i'm sorry...but my last msg is be a smart buyer and dont get fooled...extra money can be use for other thing.....remember this is just a hobby !

ok no big deal...whatever happen in forum stay in forum.....

anyway this will be my last statement and i hope this will clear the issue.....first off all this could be just a miss understanding because if read carefully my words that i never intended to disrupt so called potential sales in fact i'm just asking is this from bla bla bla and if so pls get the IH bla bla coz its cheap etc...so for once i dont know how suddenly that can be consider offence and start telling me to learn and labelling me unethical just because i'm asking and sharing info.......

for once i dont give a shit how much money these overnight businessman makes and all i know since i join this LYN, never once i think i disrupted other ppls sales thread..yes i admit i'm a bargain hunter but isnt that what most ppl do?

they hoping to score a deal at CHEAP PRICE?...my nudie for example..there a people lowballing me for RM150 even after initial PM i already stated my lowest price......believe it or not..but still i didnt get angry etc i reply politely and i just say no...

so how much these overnight business man want to make its up to them (and i couldnt care less) but again i just want to reiterare that i'm here becoz of this community and as many of you know..since this is a "small community" it would be wise to lead them or entice them to participate by sharing some info so we can grow big....even they are silent reader or lurker...for instance i do get quite numbers of PMs asking guidance/info etc which i gladly share..etc....again its a friendship that favours me.......hence sharing info....if you want to make money its your choice but when ppl complaint/compliment or say something dontlah get offended...take it as a positive input....so read and analyze carefully whats being written before coming into conclusion...

i have started this denim collection more then 20+ years and i want you all to know u that i have plenty of friends out there with some crazy selvage collection (some rare + dead stock + brand new - mainly Levi's 501) including boots, leather jacket etc....we always share info where to get stuff...also if either any us went to certain place or country we inform each other will make start saving and buy us some item etc.....this happen long before this forum exist....

also dont intend to fuel further but for me sharing where to get stuff at reasonable price should be made openly....if you're start charging i reckon it will be only certain number will participate.....this is internet....sea of information...most probably the info for this paid content is also gotten from open forum, newsletter etc...

if you want to held a competition with prize money then by right..ask money from the participant itself like most forum do to show they are serious about participating.....or get sponsorship from denim company to come out with special denim edition just for competition and ask each participant to buy the jeans or pre-select what jeans, brand, weight etc and winner will get a new pair from the participant money or the sponsorship.......that is the right thing to do...
