I received mine as well, they claimed it to be 100% cotton. And I am sure it is not. The sleeves are on the short side. And the logo is a joke.
It smelled of chemicals/plastic/jet fuel. So not too happy. I will wash it to see how it holds up. I will dispute.
My main point is that it is not cotton. I will try a burn test on some fibers, and if necessary attach a video of it to my dispute.

Again, thanks for your input, I had no idea of this!

This is the burberry store link courtesy of FiloViridae http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...aid-Scarves-Brand-Fashion/1875527_32581307352

If you buy two send seller a message asking for box and bag too. I did the burn and water test on the them. Fabric burns slowly and smells of hair (as would expect with protein fabric - wool/cashmere). Also if you put some water on it you can see it beads (cashmere does this). I imagine it is a cashmere/wool blend but can't fault it, feels very soft and the logo is nearly 1:1! I did see some pictures of the scarfs from previous buyers on the feedback and some of the R's on the label were slightly incorrect - there should be a slight curl at the bottom of the right foot on the R, whereas some logos it was straight. Mine came out properly but maybe worth asking seller for pic of label if you want it to be as gen as pos!

Hey guys, the link by [MENTION=99457]FiloViridae[/MENTION] is down... Anyone else got one that is equally as good?

Thanks in advance.

Got my eva yeezy's. Good quality pair for the price but I think they're too big. I wear size 9 UK so I got US 9 1/2 which is UK 9 apparently and they feel a little bit loose. They look the same size as my other size 9 trainers but I guess they have much less padding etc. so they're bigger inside. Gonna try to sell at cost on gumtree or something so I can buy a better fitting pair maybe (or just wear thicker socks!).

Just something to be aware of if you're buying some. They say they are EU 43+1/2 US 9+1/2 UK 9 but my new balance trainers say EU 43 US 9+1/2 UK 9 so obviously there's some discrepancy in sizing.

Strange that! I bought eva's £44 350's at end December , ordered the US 9 1/2, which says they are UK 9 but found them slightly tight and visibly smaller than most of my UK purchased
size 9's. I can just fit into UK size 8 1/2 which my yeezy's appear to be. Other charts suggest US 9 1/2 IS UK 8 1/2 and EURO42 1/2 which would appear to be what I received. (Inside
labels on Eva's are US 9 1/2, UK 9, EURO 43 1/2)

I had intended ordering a pair of turtle dove 350's and going up to US 10 which logically should give me the extra room I need. Your post seems to put this in doubt, do different batches
vary this much? I bought some ASICS listed as US 9.5,UK 9 elsewhere at the same time on ALI, they were even smaller and I could only get them on with the insole removed. Seller
is not answering my questions on the ASICS. I need to rethink and perhaps ask Eva for advice after CNY.

Anyone else in UK finding size problems with 350's?

I dunno about Eva's yeezys but of the several shoes I bought on AE I can't recall one truly true to size. Generally smaller. Or really f** smaller

I've ordered shoes before (December) from Ali (DM's for me / came up perfect) I'm a UK-9 , ordered a 9.5 (US) and they are perfect...been wearing them for a few months.
Also ordered Yeezy's for my daughter...she is a UK 4/4.5 and ordered a size 37 and they are perfect for her.

My suggestions would be to read the sizes that they give in cm...measure your feet.....tell the seller what size you are in cm...let them tell you which size to order. That's what i do and have not been disappointed so far.

- On a side note.....the shirts and waistcoats i have given up on....they are way way too small.....I have tried 3 different sellers and i am a UK L/XL depending on which make,,,,,,I even ordered a XXXL and is was no bigger that a UK (M) - go figure!!

- Buy some insoles mate....you can get all sorts of insoles nowadays....get some thick ones from a sports shop or a shoe shop....take your Yeezy's along and try them in the shop.....that's what i do....then you can keep them yourself. Job done.

I assume the old non PU&wide ones are from a completely different source. I fixed it handily by adding a poundland latex insole underneath the yeezy insole. Completely solved the problem

Are there any fixes for the slight increase in toe space from shoes a half size too big? These are really unusual shoes and tying them tight stretches the holes (I'm considering adding rivets?). I did do the insoles which sorts a lot of the slack out but they have a bit of play horizontally when I don't tie tight. Wearing them loose like Kanye just feels like wearing flip-flops.

It's frustrating because I know what size my feet are, the shoes are practically identical in size to my new balance running shoes except they aren't padded on the upper or at the heel so they fit looser. Definitely a size 9 UK have been buying size 9 shoes for years with no issue.

Just ordered 2 x CG jackets, one for myself and one for the mrs. Also a few sets of shoes and crocs for the kids, a few bracelets, some cufflinks and sunglasses. Let's see what shows up :) I will update with photos as they arrive but I don't expect that anytime soon due to CNY

Let us know about those CG's buddy. Thinking of getting some for the teen kids for next winter now they're all fashion conscious. Back in my day it was Berghaus and Sprayway but my parents were poor back then and I went to school in my RAF cadets standard issue rain jacket [emoji23] if only my parents could have had me some reps from Ali [emoji23]. Personally, I can't justify £250 on a kids coat they'll grow out of in 12 months
