Iron Heart x Self Edge CPO Jacket

I could check but I'm too lazy. (same customs % in all EU) I suspect some 10% customs fee of CIF price + VAT of Germany.
Edit
I checked: Taric code is 6201 11 00 90 if I'm not totally wrong, customs 12% calsulated from CIF price, then you add Germanys VAT calculated before mentioned sum.Germany has possibly the most venal customs officers you are likely to encounter. This combined with the exorbitant import taxes make it about one of the most expensive countries to import stuff in to.
And to make it worse, the German customs officers know how to use the WWW, so they just look at what the real value is and ignore the declared…….
Thanks, guys. A nice glimpse into what some of you have to deal with when making transactions.

I don't know why, but this literally stunned me.

Really? The guys at SE are usually pretty good about negating those fees on their orders. But let's say, in your case, they don't, do you really pay close to $200 in custom fees?
What size did you go with? XL?
well i don`t think that it will hit the 200$ mark but some like 90$ or so could be the money for custom fees…
was a bit ironic there mate
from the stuff i
ve ordered lately i just had to pay customs to the 7301 ordered from monday. he marked it as a gift BUT with a value of 200+$...so theyve charged me 19% on the price i did pay through paypal.
others got marked as gift but with a tiny value and i had to pay nothing...packages haven`t even went through customs... -
rom the stuff i
ve ordered lately i just had to pay customs to the 7301 ordered from monday. even though he marked it as a gift and with a **value of 200+$** theyve charged me 19% on the price i did pay through paypal.Ha! Monday stiffed you. That marked value will definitely do it and makes sense with respect to my experiences.
But yeah, I can't wait to see you guys in this jacket–maybe you'll sway me into a purchase since the BR X WG MA-1 didn't work out.

320$= approx 222€ -> free shipping, right? so you should be paying around 27€ customs-> 249€ -> VAT 19% ->around 296€ is total price. about 75€ to be paid. Let me know how wrong my calculations were.
well the last time i only had to pay the 19% so yeah…we`ll see
maybe MaxP. can tell us more tomorrow!

Yeah, german customs are bloodsuckers: one week shipping including customs, but I'll have to pay full price on the retail price. And you can't come and tell them :" Hey, this is a gift by my buddy Kiya" or do some fake money transfers. No way…
I also think that I'll pay between 70 and 80 €, for my Flat Head Shirt (value 255$) i paid 60, but then the dollar was stronger. Will know more tomorroe. but more important: I'll have my jacket then.

I also picked this up in the SE sale. Had an eye on it for a while and the sale price was too good to pass up. It arrived on Saturday and is definitely a very nice piece.

dude were tha fucking pics at?…

yeah… I would just move if I were you guys in Germany, fuck that!
Not to be insensitive to your pain but can somebody pop some fit pics up of this jacket so I can decide on the SE sale? The models for SE make everything look exactly the same when they wear it so it is impossible to tell based on their pics.
Thanks everybody

LOL, will get some pics up soon!
I sized Medium for this which seems perfect. Usually I wear Small in IH except for the IHSH-32 which I also took in a Medium. I had the luxury of trying this on in SENY and SELA earlier this year to get an idea of the sizing.

Amazing the effect a sale can have… this thread was in a coma for months!
Unfortunately it was dark by the time I got home from work, so I couldn't take pictures with natural light which would have been preferable. Anyway, here are a few fit pics. I was just wearing a t-shirt underneath.
Finn, to answer your question I think it can work as a winter jacket if you bought it with enough room to layer underneath, though for wet conditions obviously a waterproof jacket is better. I don't plan to wear it in the NYC winter as it gets too cold here, but I think it will be perfect for fall and early spring to just throw over a t-shirt. It is definitely remarkably warm considering how light it is.
Again, this is a Medium and I wear IH Small in everything except for the IHSH-32.
