tate + yoko - the official thread

[applegreen]

Any measurements available? I know it's Weird Guy fit, but that seems to vary a bit from model to model.

[shoreman]

I'm assuming those will be available once the jean becomes available online tomorrow.

No pink inseam stitch and a front rise so low you'll have to shave to wear them?

[shoreman]

Yeah…weird guy isn't exactly for men.

[zwer]

I have a couple pairs of Weird Guys, including the N&FxMomtaro collabs and they're fine. I sure couldn't wear these, though.

[shoreman]

I guess it's the fact they're pre-soak measurements. Personally, I like a more relaxed jean but, for Alex's sake, I hope these sell quickly. (They look sick.)

[Rightyow77]

The denim on these alone is worth the investment, still the rise is a little low especially for any of you bigger guys. Have my eye on dat der 29 though, wish I could justify it right now.

Rise is slightly lower than usual, especially on the larger sizes but I think it's fine. If you've been looking at the vintage label but needed a tapered leg, this is it. There's no pink inseam but that's how we wanted it for this first collab. Patch and pocket bags are great, but it's still a clean looking jean that's going to be with you for a while.

I'm interested in one of the MomoxTY collab and the Kamikaze Attack 20oz pairs. I have an ~31" waist. Would you have them in store to try on?

Yes for both, although I'm running low on the KA 20oz so I would recommend stopping by as soon as possible.

Did you check with Kaitlin at Dutil? The seamstress who does the chain stitching might be able to sort you out.

Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated. I'll check it out first thing Friday once I'm done with midterms.

Would prefer to give T+Y my business though.

We can repair these for you. Please email [email protected] and she'll arrange it with you.

[zwer]

Are you guys up for doing repairs in general? I've got a small hole in a pair of Iron Hearts that could use mending - thought I would proxy to SENY, but if I can get it sorted in Canada, all the better.

[shoreman]

Anything new to report, Alex?

[Geeman]

Alex sent a couple emails over to you and Sonny. Ready to order once ive got your advice back?

Guys, Unfortunately I'm no longer working at T+Y/N&F. They decided it was time to look for a cheaper option to manage both T+Y and the new Unbranded e-commerce site (which should be up by now, but it's not lol), and basically locked me out, so sorry about the no reply. Doesn't look like anything's been done for about 2 weeks now.

Gee, send an email over to [email protected] and he'll get you sorted out.

Chris, Greig, Richard, Bori and everyone else on here who kept coming back-- it's been a pleasure! I'm moving on to better things.

- Alex

[shoreman]

There goes my business. Thanks for everything, Alex. I considered T+Y to be one of the better shopping experiences in Montreal over the last year. Be sure to keep us updated with what comes up next for you.

[Geeman]

Alex, thanks for everything over the last year and all the best for the future. Evans picked up on my emails so thanks for the heads up.

Let's hope the store can maintain the level of service you used to provide, you'll be a tough act to follow

[Rightyow77]

I live in California and the primary reason I shopped at Tate + Yoko was because Alex was such an awesome dude and went beyond anything I have ever experienced in a retail store or otherwise. Having also recently been laid off I can understand where you are coming from Alex, best of luck man. Thanks so much for being such an awesome guy your dedication and intrinsic approach will be greatly missed.

No wonder recently t&y has been less responsive to email and orders..

[boriori]

Thanks for everything Alex!

[TATE + YOKO]

New Viberg boots just arrived!

Brown pull-up chromexcel leather. This is our first time running the low Oxford shoe/boot shape, and the first time we do a rigged sole with Viberg. These look sick!

We'll have these bad boys photographed and online shortly.

If anyone has any questions regarding these boots or any of our products or services, please email [email protected] and he'll be glad to answer you super quickly.

[zwer]

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Alex. Best of luck in the future!

Are you a "9 or 9.5" in Viberg? Or do you normally wear "9 or 9.5" in other shoes? Viberg boots are made big. I normally wear 9.5 in most shoes/boots, but I wear 8.5 in Viberg. Please confirm and I'll check for your size.

[Mixture]

Im a 9/9.5 in viberg since i tend to wear sizes 10/10.5 in other shoes.

Do they fit narrow or wide (i have wide feet lulz)? Thanks.

@Tate + Yoko,

I returned a pair of NF skinnys for my girlfriend and was interested in an exchange for a pair of the Kam. 20oz. Is this still possible never got an email back, which I can understand considering recent developments. My main question is though, will I still be able to use the 10% for HWC13-15 contestants?
