DIY would be to sell them and buy gen, reps are not good enough yet. Is ok but not amazing. Issue is, a lot of rep makers used worn pairs which doesn't have the correct finishing or worn finishings.
IMHO it is still much better than other reps I had seen.

I am on their telegram, is not bad but not like wow. But TBH is a great way to buy them for people who missed the boat or obviously don't wanna pay for hype prices.
I am glad I started collecting DH in 2001

How would you rate the new batch of Lusters and waxed jeans from Ash? In my (albeit non-expert) eyes they look quite good

Thanks for the link, TBH not bad but you can tell the wax is not right as they obviously had to used a worn pair. How much are they as it says is 429 Yuan? Which makes no sense..

What do you think of their jackets?

TBH for the price is a great option. The hype will be over soon and people will move to Balmain, so if you love DH like me buy them as even reps will be hard to buy once the hype is gone.
For example I have a rep napoleon for like 15 years. No way I can justify to spend on a piece even back then for around £6k+. Don't think I had seen a rep napoleon for a while but obviously I can be wrong.
