@hgering27 holy smokes, I’m glad I decided to hold off on the NH-55. That is unreal!
-
@SourPower yeah... i was REALLY tempted but there werent any extra size 50, but tbh it looks so good that when he gets more i might have to grab one still
-
@hgering27 the 48 long would have been perfect for me, but I’m going to Japan in September and decided I’d rather just save the funds for the Y’2 shop where the experience will be more memorable.
-
@hgering27 Dang! That is 34% of the MSRP. Glad I held out.

I put that responsibility on TJ to figure out for you
I think that is unrealistic. Tariffs are charged by the receiving country, are you expecting a retailer to know the tariff regimes of every country that they ship to? I see this as the buyers responsibility to figure out, there is no way I would ask a foreign retailer what tariffs, taxes, handling charges I will have to pay when I import something.. And even if they did know what the US tariffs were, the current administration is changing them on a seemingly ad hoc, random basis. Look at the worldwide stock markets and how they are behaving, this is mainly due to the current uncertainty about what on earth is happening/will happen.

@Giles Spot on. And I work in financial services, so really feel the pain of the stock market volatility.
I think as a retailer someone is going to hold it against you if you work out the tariff affected price incorrectly and as you say, it's unrealistic for the retailer to know all tariff regimes (or even the existing duty requirements).

Exactly. And working out what the carrier will charge for handling is a guessing game at best. Again, it's a carrier/country specific random levy.

@BorisB For what it’s worth, I think that the tariffs themselves are applied by the origin country of the goods, which in this case would be Japan (rather than Canada). That being said, I think you are completely correct… a (possible) nearly $500 swing on top of an incredibly expensive jacket isn’t reasonable. I put that responsibility on TJ to figure out for you… But maybe that isn’t a reasonable ask of me, and we’re just spoiled by the way IH conducts their business
Just for your edification; this is 100% backwards. The tariffs are levied and collected by the receiving country.
Remember, the point of a tariff is to encourage locals to buy local. They are levied by the receiving country on their own people.

@Kasi I think you are going to enjoy it, Y'2 craftsmanship is outstanding. What did you pick up?
-
Type 1 in black.. blue will come in October

X post from WAYWT
I picked this blue roughout Y’2 coverall up from eBay. I was after a suede/roughout chore type jacket and this fits the bill nicely I think.
-
What size did you get for your type 1.
-
@Kasi
I’am not sure at the moment
42 or 44.
Will check when back home mate .
Which version are you after? -
I got type 1. Went for size 40 paid for it, was out of stock, then got 42.
The world's insane
While you drink champagne
And I'm livin' in black rain 4Q 🖕 -
@NickD love this jacket, the fit looks great.
-
@Kasi
yes you said Type 1 , but what color and leather?
I have the aniline dyed one the LB-140 , the leather is fantastic!
-
Same one as your.
Only on my mind 42 hope it not to big.
That’s why I ask out your size.

@Kasi
