Nice I did check Vintage Paradise and they do have the shirt I want but not in my size unfortunately

[Jord666]

Went for one of these instead!

@babyknight:

Qinhan, that is perfect. nice one. what size do you normally take in IH shirts or jackets?

Thanks Babyknight.

In IH jackets I'm nearly always a medium.  Shirts vary between Small and Medium.  You can check out my "role call" for specifics.

Nice pickup on the CPO shirt Jord, would love to hear more about it when you get it…

yep really nice piece - i love cpo shirts.  is that a pure wool flannel?

[Jord666]

Yep it's the wool flannel, can't wait for this now, was really torn between the blue and red but went for blue purely on that fact I have less blue in my wardrobe will post some pics as soon as it arrives with me

[FurattoHeddo]

Shell is wool, lining on the back flap placket is rayon:

Wow incredible CPO jord, enjoy it

[Jord666]

Cheers mate! not sure how long it's going to take to arrive from Japan though, I ordered it from VP and I hate waiting for things! I'm worse than my little sisters waiting for Santa to come Haha

[hassinator]

how did you size the cpo?

i'd want to wear it over a sweat shirt so thinking a large.

i'm a 15-15 1/2" on a standard shirt but that would be very snug in the body.

the red and blue are shirts of true beauty but i really can't buy any more shirts this year

[Jord666]

I went for a Large mate, I'm a 40 chest and would like a little room so this should do the trick for how I'm going to wear it.

Hope that helps

[Jord666]

Thanks mate! Will post some fit pics when it arrives

Hi guys I ordered the CPO Saturday evening and the shop still hasn't got back to me with my payment link yet, I realise that they could be on Holidays this time of year, is this normal? Should I try contacting them?

[Qinhan]

A reminder email can't hurt.  I've had 4-5 day delays before so I wouldn't consider this to be anything remarkable.

[Jord666]

Cheers man, I've ordered from 2nd in the past and they've always been very fast with communication and ordering process, ill drop them an email later this evening!

Thanks again

[Qinhan]

I've noticed quite a few Rakuten stores seem to have posted notices that they will be closed for a few days around New Years which is an important time for families to get together in Japan.  This is probably why 2nd have taken so long to get back to you.  I'd shoot them an email just to be sure but would expect to hear from them in the next couple of days.

Be sure to post some pics when your CPO comes in!

[rocket]

yep, Vintage Paradise is closed, think till the 3rd if I remember right…

[Jord666]

Cheers mate!
