Opening Ceremony is probably the only place left in LA that you will be able to find Cloak these days. I believe they still have a decent selection (with prices significantly reduced), although I'm not sure if they still have boots. Barneys used to have cloak, but last season was the last one.

That's awesome, I live right by Stel's! Once I get some cash I'm there.

I would love to see some of that leatherwear in person. Any news on US shops carrying the line?

If the linea shirt is still for sale in a month when I'll actually have money I will definitely buy it. Free bump.

From what I've seen it doesn't look like there's a name for this season's collection, beyond "season 10" as it was written in the men's non-no scans above.

As far as I know, only Atelier in NYC has undercover. You'll pay dearly for it too. Yahoo japan is your friend.

I forgot about scab. That's got to be one of the best.

I'll give you $20 for it.

There's some good stuff around La Brea & 3rd. Union notwithstanding, you've got American Rag, Buffalo Exchange and Puran's, which is one of the best restaraunts in LA.

Undercover is one of my favorite labels going right now. It seems like for the last couple seasons the emphasis has been on more high-fashion concepts: good cuts/tailoring and materials, rather than the focus on graphics and avant garde design that was used in the past.

The new season seems like it has a "futuristic" vibe going on, kind of similar to raf simons in my opinion. I haven't seen too much of it in the stores yet, but I did manage to pick up the striped shirt below.

I was really into his purple collection from last season too. I didn't go much for the printed tees, as they just seemed a rehash of the T collection from the season before, but basically everything else was very nice, slim cut and great quality. I got one of the lame button downs from that one:

The photos of course don't do it justice. By far my favorite season was last summer's T collection though. I'm way into krautrock, and it was really cool to see krautrock inspired stuff come out from a fashion brand. I think that was a first. I liked how he mixed remakes of early 70's german band tees with his own fake band tees. I guess he even put out some 12 inches of the fake bands, although I have yet to hear them. I'm very curious what they sound like.

I was just at cloak on friday. Everything is still in the 60% off range. No further discounts. This season's stuff is not their best in my opinion anyway.

Barney's on Madison has a pretty decent selection of their new season in the men's section.

What's the address of the NYC warehouse sale?

The problem that I have with the Paris and NYC stores is that their markup is so horrendous. You're basically paying twice the price (for an already expensive piece) of what you would get in Japan. If you go in with less than $500 you'll be feeling the pain. If you go in with more, you'll still be feeling the pain having spent all that money.

I think the Canadian Tuxedo (denim on denim) is something best avoided. Bascially anything besides jeans would work if you're wearing a denim jacket.

Damn, too late on the sweater! I guess I'll just have to get it on aloha rag.

I love the bunny shirt! I found a really torn up, tied-dyed one a while back at crossroads for only $10. I kept it for a while but ended up reselling it on ebay.

As far as I know, unholy matrimony doesn't do any formal showings. They've got some crappy pics posted on their website of each season's designs, but that's about it. He's got some kind of arrangement with a small shop called k-market in nagoya, and united arrows, ships and beams occasionally stock him I believe. I've yet to find a shop that has more than a handful of his stuff. I agree though, it's cool he's getting some recognition.

Just went to wasteland in LA again today. They also had some black denim, hand distressed shorts for $35. They were cut pretty small though. They only had smalls and mediums, and the medium seemed to be about a 30" waist. Oh well.

Time to bump this thread... Sale going on right now on 45 rpm's Japanese webshop: http://www.45rpm.jp/shop/contents3/PickUp.aspx. Time to contact the proxys.

I love that 7-11 is embracing this when they have such a negative portrayal of the kwik-e-mart on the show. Price gouging? Selling past date items? Being constantly robbed? That's the image they want to show?

That reminds me. Some (kinda lame) webshop called revolve clothing has unholy matrimony for the ladies: http://www.revolveclothing.com/brandpages/UnholyMatrimony.jsp?source=google-unholymatrimony&gclid=COvSnb-um40CFR6AWAodZQ4E5g.

I love that sweater. I forget the exact price I paid, but it was somewhere around $50 or $60. I haven't seen any grey button front shirts, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. As I mentioned before, this stuff is notoriously difficult to find. It's hard even to track down photos of what's out there.

Glad I figured that out. Sorry about the technical difficulties. That's pretty much the extent of what I've got. I used to have a bit more, but sold it on ebay.

One more photo of the shirts for good measure, taken from the K-market website
