Super T in Chelsey

carls · #1 (**permalink**) 12-02-2008, 03:31 AM

Does anyone happen to know how these run? They are 99/1 blend.

I'm looking at a pair however the seller has only got stock pics on the auction and apparently she is unable to provide photos because "the jeans are at my store".

I have explained that I do not feel comfortable bidding until I see the actual product (meanwhile I'm thinking - surely if you own a store, it can't be too hard to get some photos? I mean, where is the store?) and don't plan on bidding on ANYTHING until I can at least get photos.

however in the meantime, I just better check on how they run as most supers seem to run small and there is no point arguing with her if they aren't going to fit anyway.

thanks all!

I think it depends on cut and style. I sized down on my Joeys, but they are tight

I think they may end up a size big because they stretch but I don't have them hemmed yet so I haven't worn them enough to know for sure.

I would never buy on ebay without pics of the actual item

They run at least one size large in Heritage Super T. Most Chelsey run big although in Natalie they run small.

I stayed with my normal size (28) in Johnnys but they have ended up a bit big, especially in the thighs.
Doesn't really bother me though

I think if I had sized down though, the waist would have been too tight.

My Turquoise Stitch Super T's in Chelsey run a size big but I've heard the Midnight Stitch runs almost two sizes big.

BTW......what store (assuming this is an eBay Seller)? Just wondered if you'd checked to see if they are a legit seller?

This one is a little confusing (but also worrisome).

She only has 28 feedback, all positive. She has not sold any True Religions before, mostly lacoste and stuff that I presume was her own that she wanted to get rid of.

She does not have a store on ebay, it must be a store in person. Thats why I was kind of wondering why it would be such a hassle to get photos?

She hasn't written back after my polite request but she can do me a really good BIN price and I'm salivating if they are legit. I'll be very dissappointed if she can't provide me photos (which means I can't bid) but I guess its better than getting them here, discovering they are fake, and then having to PAY to send them back to the US. Paying International shipping for something dodgy would REALLY piss me off.

did you do a search here? where is she from?

carls · #8 (**permalink**) 12-02-2008, 06:20 PM

yeah, I did do a search on the user name. Nothing comes up here unfortunately.

She is located in "big bear city, CA, United States"

I have Bobby Super T's in Chelsey and they are my favorite Super T's by far. I have them in my TTS size and I would say they run about a half size big compared to my other Supers.

I have also have had Joey's in Midnight Stitch in Chelsey (those run 2 sizes big) and Johnny's in Turquoise stitch (run a half size big, imo).

Thanks Amber.

I'm just going to wait and see if she emails me back.

I already told her I'm not comfortable buying them until she can provide me with photos and I'm sticking to it.

Plus, considering I just bought a pair of R&R this morning that were almost $300 AU (I HATE that our dollar is so SHIT at the moment) my boyfriend could quite possibly kill me if I buy these as well. Whats the use of pretty jeans when you're dead!?

The annoying part is, I have sold a pair on ebay and the zero-feedback winner hasn't paid yet. Not only did she IGNORE my auction that stated Please contact me first if you have no feedback, but she also IGNORED the part about payment due within 48 hours.

*sigh*

Why do I keep going back to ebay when I know I'm butting my head against a brick wall LOL.
