Nepenthes

[pavlovs bell]

Shocked there isn't a thread yet. Discuss the new EG season, wacky Needles shit, S28W anything, I duno mane just post ill pics of floral shirts with long tails, mismatched shoes, and vests made of black leopard horse hair.

[ohsnap]

eg fw12-13 is the best season of eg so far, imo. be on the lookout.

[Spaghettini]

Love Nepenthes. Absolute favorite store in the city.

Sorry to just re-post blog shit but click below Nepenthes newest editorial, Finding Hope in Teenagers

[Spaghettini]

also, are they going to start carrying Made with Rest or what??? ohsnap any insight?

[Fycus]

EG and nepenthes related share a soft spot in my heart. Anybody I show an EG lookbook to thinks I'm crazy, but I think its one of those things that when you are wearing it, everything fits perfectly and is a lot more subtle than you think. Wool bedfords in the fall/winter, cotton poly overshirts / light jackets in the spring summer would be all I wear if I had the choice. I love the use of heavy disco styled polyester fabrics for needles, and the pseudo new mexico feel of s2w8. Everything is reasonably priced imo considering it is made in the USA in relatively small runs. I've never paid more than $250 for outerwear on sale. Angler shirt is on my must buy list for this spring, will probably add another light jacket once I can see what more stockists picked up.

made with rest is still around?

[evilgeniusdan]

Usually a much bigger fan of eg fw but this coming ss is bringing some heat. I'm always really into the weirder needles/south2west8 shit too.

bought this at my last trip to nepenthes ny a few weeks back:

(needles sportswear) waxed cotton lined with jizz-in-your-pants japanese polymide

made with rest is still around?

rest store long gone but mwr is still around in some form or another. ever since linking up with ovo it seems like dude is more focused on the jewelry, but i thought i remembered dude saying mwr was due for a return and to be stocked at nepenthes. i could be wrong tho....

[Vampyrvargfesten]

i emailled them like a month ago about some mwr stuff

they definitely told me that the previously stocked stuff like the mwr knit caps will get restocked..

said they'd post on the blog when that happens (whenever that is)

so bummed i missed out on the mwr pop-up >

some of the jewelry/eyeglasses on the second floor are dope as hell... anyone own/handle these???

[american_hearts]

Great Nepenthes huge-floral-crazy-person-all-over-print oxford at Tokio 7, like a small-medium size. I'm not the kind of person who can wear it, but I wish I was.

they flashy as all hell, too bold for me to even warrant a "can you open the case?" request from their SA's.. i really want one of those brooches from the park and bond site though, they're all great....

yeah the phoenix is very nice

[akuma no uta]

I'll finally visit the shop just to check out the soloist pop up shop inside, that shit is insane as fuck.

[Lendo]

I'm afraid to step foot in the actual store, would probably spend an astronomical amount of money.

That being said, i really want to go!

[fads]

the guys here like arsenal lol

gonna visit again next week

[Spaghettini]

was torn over these McKinley's joints last saturday. so nice but i felt like they would take forever to break in.

porter jacket perfect spring outerwear

this also looked excellent in person

that is all. post more nepenthes content.

[akuma no uta]

I visited the shop this saturday with Scott M mostly to see the soloist pop up, but over all was very impressed by the shop. Very well laid out. I was but dissapointed by the needle deer skin slip on shoes, the sole was very stiff.

[bonejelly]

would love to see this thread get some more action. keep it going.

[Spaghettini]

in an effort to breath life into this thread i am going to highlight some of my favorite eg/nepenthes pieces that i own, that will hopefully get other people to contribute as well.

eg workaday tote in natural canvas. incredibly tough bag that has served me well for the year+ i've had it. large carrying capacity, works well in the city but even better for a day at the beach

i'll post some waywt fits of some eg/nepenthes stuff soon. definitely my favorite brand collective. recently picked up the south2west8 canoe sack in yellow, as shown next to this dude seen above..

i told myself i would never buy anything yellow unless its a Lamborghini but i couldn't resist.

[lmk1995]

Wish I lived in the city so I could check out the shop first hand. I feel like there's a lot of stuff you miss out on by browsing online, etc. On the hunt for another outerwear pieces atm.

also, someone posted these shoes on sf that I guess are exclusive to nepenthes jp, pretty badass IMO

someone is selling a pretty nice bomber for a great price too. i don't fuck with black, but someone should cop.

new russell moc collaboration:

[Spaghettini]

^those looked so tight in person, wish they made a size to fit my gargantuan feet

day 2

needles purple butterfly tenugui (thanks joe). awful camera phone picture is washing out the color, which is a rich purple in person. unique pattern and shape with a raw edge.

the journey begins bandana scarf. perfect spring weight scarf stitched together from four different vintage bandanas

what is the largest size they go up to?

[Spaghettini]

probably a 12-13? i'm not exxagerating when i say gargantuan feet, i wear a size 15 us. i usually don't bother asking since they know my size and will alert me if there's anything i can work with.
