Given the choice, I'd rather buy from Blue in Green. I bought my Oni jeans from Rakuten because BiG was out of my size, and the difference in price was almost completely negated after currency conversion fees, shipping and the cost of hemming. I didn't have any customs charges, and the seller (I forget who it was) was great, so it all went smoothly, but I would have preferred the convenience of letting Gordon do everything for me.
Rakuten- $215 + 30ish shipping + $25(local hemming) = $270
BiG- $325 + $30 tax + free hemming= $355I'll most likely buy from BiG even though there's an $85 difference since I can try them on first.
Now I just need to call and have them hold a pair for me. -
Rafa,
I really don't know how it's down your way, but here in situations like that tats don't matter. As far as I know.
in office enviroment and in business meetings I'm covered. Just out of courtesy towards others.If you're unsure about policies, keep covered until you know it's cool….

The ability to try a pair on before buying is worth a lot. I've been pretty lucky thus far with my internet purchases, but the sizing failures hurt.

In my perpetual trawl around the Internet for all things denim related I have always noticed people from countries other than the UK discussing G-Star Raw denim on forums and in venues where, what I would consider, higher level brands are the norm.
My question is this, in the UK G Star is worn by chavs and nasty little urchins who enjoy having RAW plastered down their leg or across their arse. Is the perception of the brand different in other countries?
Same question for Superdry?
-
Yep. Same here. G-Star is for douchebags.

Finn, Lori and I both cover our tattoos when we're at events with corporate brass. It's a pain in the ass, especially for her. I've been shocked hearing some people openly discuss how they feel about tattoos. I was at a lunch one time with a person that was trying to recruit me and our waitress had a couple of visible tattoos. The gentlemen proceeded to express how distasteful it was and that he couldn't believe this "fine" restaurant would allow a waitress like that. He further explained how he just doesn't get this whole "tattoo" thing, and really thinks people that get them are complete idiots. Needless to say, I declined his offer. Now, that I'm the executive of a small business, my people are very comfortable with tattoos. In fact, when we have events for our company, Lori and I don't cover our tattoos at all. I think it really depends, and this first event, I'd play it safe.

^agreed at work I dress however I want. When I'm visiting clients ultra conservative for me.

It makes me sick that people judge others based on personal decisions like whether they make body modifications. I remember the dude with the mohawk on the SpaceX team got all this attention. Why? Who the fuck cares? As long as you do your job and have decent hygiene and don't wear a banana hammock to work, I couldn't care less about your outward appearance.

Tattoos don't bother me, though I don't see many in my profession. I work in a fairly conservative field; lots of older, rural white dudes. If they have tats at all, they tend to be faded old military ones, or occasionally the prison variety.
I have to admit that I don't really like lots of piercings and gauges- they're distracting. Nothing against the people that have them, it just makes it harder for me to concentrate.
All that aside, I have to admit, I've teased my brother and one nephew for years over some of their less "cool" tattoos.

Nothing wrong with a bean-handle or a hood-grip

The fun thing about nipple piercings is you can thump them for amusement. They just LOVE it.

I might have missed it at some point, but are all IHUK orders going out via UPS now? (Can I still get Parcel Force/ Canada Post to Canada?)

I asked for my new TWSH-03 to be sent via Parcel Force/Canada Post and IHUK agreed to do it. Don't forget to ask nicely…
