  1. Honest question here. Do you guys consider buying Veilance at the DC store for full price when it can be found on eBay for half its retail price (or less)? I know I wouldn't, so I'm a little hesitant to go and try on stuff.

      

    Nah for me this is just a place to try stuff on and then buy on here or eBay. I hate ordering things without knowing fit intimately.

    Why is Nomin... meh?

    It's just a small basic backpack, I picked it up, unzipped the zippers looked inside and then laughed at it. A simple Jansport at your local big box retailer has more features and storage space.

  2. Stopped by the DC store today, very nice and clean layout. The Veilance is tucked away beside the dressing rooms, with chairs and a small table, so your girl can sit and look at tumblr while you obsess over taped seams and articulation. They had pretty much everything from the line, save a few shells and the liminal pants.

    Highlights:

    Node (of course) still impressed with it every time I try one on, was a perfect fit in a medium, love the new outer facing, much less noisy than normal gore, and little to no sheen to it. Very stealth. The rust color was fantastic in person as well.

    Facet gloves. So soft, amazing feel, and fit like a, well, glove. Took a L in it and it almost seemed tailor made. Not sure how durable the leather is, they did seem rather thin.

    Voronoi. Of course, everyone knows this already. If these had just a small % of elastane in them they would be the greatest pants ever made.

    Lowlights:

    patrol coat is. No idea why this is the "flagship" the fit is awful, the gore feels bad and the inner liner is just laughable. Separated the liner looks like K Mart down jacket, and the gore trench is way oversized. Together they don't match up that well and you can definitely tell its a dual layer piece, should snap in or something. Idk maybe it does and I just didn't play with it enough.

    Nomin pack. Meh. Just meh.

  3. It's too bad that they slap their logo on there One of the prime rules of Urban Techwear or Techninj, as we affectionately call it, is "thou shalt not slap your giant logo on clothes!" Stealth is the word.

    Thought this was relevant.

  4. If it really is like that, I assume it'll follow a Gyakusou style release/price range. Excited to see it either way. It'll probably also be Nike technology, wouldn't count on much gore/schoeller

  5. Got the SS-J7C in the mail today (finally, took 3 weeks to get to Pennsylvania from Finland!) and I'm not sure on the fit, it's very trim in the body, shoulders, etc, but the sleeves are very loose, and IMHO a little long. I'll try to get some fit pics up, since their are none of that jacket in this thread.
