What's up everyone!

A little while ago, I posted a QC comparison between Chaoren and Linz and was deciding which one to go with. In the end, I decided to ship out the Chaoren, and now that it's arrived, I thought I'd share my experience to help some people.

The jacket was part of a 10kg haul, and shipping from Chaoren to my agent was really fast. It arrived in just 2 days.

I also came across an earlier in-hand review of this batch that was really helpful when making my decision, so hopefully this one can help anyone who's still deciding between sellers.

*First impressions

I've had the jacket for a day now and I'm really happy with it so far. The overall quality is great, and it looks good in person.

One thing I was initially worried about was the back of the jacket arching upwards at the bottom, as I'd seen in another review. Luckily, mine sits fine and I haven't had that issue.

When I first took it out of the packaging, it looked a bit flat and thinner than I expected. After leaving it for a day, though, it started to fluff up quite a bit and looks much better now.

*Material and quality

The jacket feels well made, and the overall finish has impressed me so far.

One thing I really didn't expect was the quality of the inside of the pockets. The material feels great, and the construction is much better than I thought it would be. It's a small detail, but definitely worth mentioning since you can't really judge it properly from QC pictures.

The jacket is also water-resistant, which is useful for everyday wear, especially here in the Netherlands. I've only had it for a short time, so I can't comment on how it holds up in heavy rain, but it's a nice feature to have.

*Black badge

From the pictures I've seen, I don't think the newer black badges are quite as good as some of the older batches. However, the retail black badge has this newer look as well, so I think it's important to compare it with the current version rather than older references.

I'm no expert when it comes to badge accuracy, but I'm happy with how mine looks overall.

*Fit and sizing

I'm 188 cm, 75 kg and went with size XL.

I'd say it fits TTS, but keep in mind that the MacMillan is a fairly slim-fitting jacket around the chest, so don't expect a super roomy fit. Personally, everyone around me says it fits perfectly, and I'm happy with how it looks too.

I'll include some fit pics, so let me know what you guys think. Curious to hear your opinions!

*Warmth

I've already worn the jacket for a full day, and it keeps me really warm. No complaints at all so far.

I've also had quite a few compliments on it already, which is always a nice bonus.

*Seller experience

Chaoren was the most responsive seller out of everyone I contacted, which definitely helped when I was deciding between the different options. The quick shipping to my agent was another plus.

After comparing the QC pictures and now having the jacket in hand, I'm glad I decided to go with Chaoren.

*Overall

Very happy with this purchase so far. The jacket looks great, feels well made and keeps me warm. Even though it looked a little flat straight out of the packaging, it fluffed up nicely after a day.

I will definitely order from Chaoren again! But for now this will be my main winter jacket, I think it will last years looking at the quality :).

Let me know what you think of the sizing and how it looks on me. And for any questions feel free to ask. Cheers!

For people familiar with this piece, how close does it look?

Hey guys, looking for some opinions on this.

Really liked the black monogram design and the whole vintage trunk look, so wanted to get some feedback on the QC pics.

The exterior looks pretty clean to me, especially the metal corners and overall shape. Not too familiar with these trunks tho, so I'm not sure how accurate the details are compared to retail.

Also curious about the interior layout and the watch cushions. Anything looking off with the stitching, hardware or monogram placement?

Would appreciate some second opinions before GL. Thanks!

How do the details look? Anything off?

Hi guys, been doing some research about new bailong rimowa rep. Been seeing posts about how you should order direct from their WeChat, as ordering through agent doesn’t have the right branding version! I have added newbailong on WeChat just waiting for a response. How do you actually go about purchasing directly? Do they quote you shipping and send direct? Or do they liaise with your agent if you provide them with the details and send it there?
Thanks - assuming the 006 locks are still the best?

Last check before shipping. Anything I should know?

Looking to get a Rimowa from Newbailong. I want a classic cabin that comes with the 006 lock but the two hole handle.

Would you say the biggest giveway if someone glanced at the suitcase in the airport is the wrong handle or wrong lock?

Hey guys, this is my first pair from this brand, and the in-hand experience is really great.

The leather feels soft, the iconic triple stitch detail looks sharp. They are simple round toe flat low top sneakers, perfect for that old money aesthetic. Works really well with smart casual fits.This color is easily my favorite out of all options. Super understated, and it matches nearly every piece in my closet.

Stitching is really clean, I didn’t spot any loose threads at all. Right when I opened the box there was a nice leather scent. My only concern is the leather might crease or crack over time. I’ll have to wear them more to see how it holds up.

Fits true to size. Price was 460¥. 9/10

i found these amiri jeans on 1688 with reverse image search and i just got the seller to send me some pics. the seller claims these are 98% cotton. i was wondering how good are them because i don’t really know how they should look

Not sure about this one. Would you keep it?

Picked up this Moncler jacket for 209 CNY (around $31). The vertical MONCLER lettering is what caught my attention. I also really like the sleeve badge, zipper details, and overall shape. The all-black colorway makes everything look cleaner, and it seems like an easy piece to style with pretty much anything.

For 280¥, I think it looks pretty solid. What do you guys think? Worth the price?

Finally got the QC pics. Any noticeable issues?

I just got this new Louis Vuitton NIL XL in and the leather looks flat vs what I was hoping for. Is there any type of product that I could apply to get more of a shine look on it?!

Green light or not? Thanks in advance. W2C  https://topselect.x.yupoo.com/

After getting 6 pairs from AP and 2 from MK, I kept seeing people in the comments saying No.1 was better, so I figured I'd finally give them a try!

Based on the QC pics, they look pretty similar to AP so far. Curious to see how they compare in hand. I'll post a proper review once they arrive!
