That isn't the current black tiger fleece color is it?

[aDj]

^ no, its not.

[Larry Bird]

curious, is there a pretty big difference between, say a classic fit medium and a slim fit meduim? is the length the same and its just slimmer?

This year, big difference. The classic fit is much wider through the chest, arms, and shoulders than the slim fit of the same size.

does anyone know where I can pickup the black m65? I tried Carve yesterday but they sold their last one

[FILTHY]

I saw some stuff at Huf. very nice.

A ton of the slimfits on zozo... Price has been jacked up , but if you're having trouble finding your size, it'd be here.

If someone is looking for the multi-coloured hoodies that Kane posted earlier you can get them at Ransom in Toronto (i checked a week ago).

[notesee]

Has anyone been to Nom De Guerre or Famous Friends in NYC lately?

I was just curious as to which hoodies from the F/W season are still available.

I'm especially interested in this one:

And the runner up is the hoodie similar to this in black which I quoted in an earlier post.

i really don't see why people are complaining on the availability of spruce/w+h/w&h. there's online stores that sell it for god's sake or you could always just phone up a retailer and buy one. it's really not that difficult... but you're not going to find it at the mall.

Except for Peasant and Steven Alan, there are no online stores based in the US that sell the line. There are a handful of Japanese retailers (Ships Blue and United Arrows in zozo, and Rakuten/explorer being the most prominent,) which do sell the line, but at 20-30% hgher than US retail prices, without delivery, and it is uncertain whether they deliver outside of Japan at all. And certain pieces, like the shawl sweatshirt, seem very difficult to find even in Japan.

As the for the slim fit grey striped hoodie, it was never available at Famous Friends, and I don't think that Nom de Guerre has anymore.

And some of the pieces, like the M65 (I know you don't like it Coldrice ), are nearly impossible to find in the US, and very difficult to find in Japan.

We are not exactly talking about buying 501s here.

I have asked two 'official' spruce online retailers based in the US if they had a hoody from the current collection.

The first said:

"No"

I said: "can you get it?"

They said

"No - They won't supply us"

The second online retailer didnt bother to reply.

Plus, as I'm in England, Im not gonna ring stores in the US about a hoody, as much as I want it.

I just found it slightly bizarre / ironic / downright weird that it seems easier to buy one from Japan, when the brand is made in Canada and apparently a 'Western' brand that is meant to be available in our side of the world.

Most unusual of all is the fact that if you look back many pages in this thread, you will notice that Kane said Spruce is NOT meant to be exclusive and difficult to get hold of.....Wow.....And no, I cant order from Japan, cos as you already pointed out, Japan retailers dont tend to stock XL.

I feel that qualifies as saying the brand is difficult to get hold of.

[sneakeraddict]

:eek:

When you say "blue", not pastel blue or baby blue or some shit like that is it?

cheers for the heads-up

[Rockn]

nom de guerre no long carries w and h, I know richard at famous friends has some in and I just picked up a green tiger fleece from steven alan.

[notesee]

Which Steven Alan? The one on Wooster?

maybe because the japanese will buy more than the american market? make sense to me. but, i think your main problem is that you're an XL, i doubt w+h/w&h sells a lot of XL's therefore it's not beneficial for them to make them and not beneficial for stores to buy them. there's plenty of S, M, L's that are easy to get a hold of if you look. but yeah. peasant has some XL's...

[notesee]

Good looks Poly .. I'm gonna head to NDG on Wednesday when I get back into NY. Hopefully they still have some wings + horns in my size.

i was talking with brian at peasant a couple weeks ago while he was on the phone with his w+h rep. apparently (according to this rep) the xl's actually sell out first. so, yeah, i think his size may be a major component of the problem but for the opposite reason.

and yeah, last time i was there, peasant had some xl's. they were also taking direct orders from people a couple weeks ago. i don't know if they still are/can though.

[ddohnggo]

out of control:

i can only make it on december 17th though. hopefully there'll be some stuff leftover.

[notesee]

Fuckin Canadians.

[xcoldricex]

vancouver/seattle heads better clean this fucking place out and share the wealth. who's going? i want some ish.

[Kane]

Uh oh. I guess I'm taking some days off.

[aaronk_83]

Awesome, I'll be back in Vancouver just in time

[ddohnggo]

kane, do you know if you guys are going to set aside merchandise for each day, or will it be a free for all with all the merch out on day one?

[ddohnggo]

i believe only w+h and w&h. i know this happened last year, but people said it wasn't so good?

[champagne_bubblebath]

that's great, eh.

[sygyzy]

Anyone going to the sample sale, let me know!

[kubrick]

i'll most definatley be going to the sample sale the very first day

now im just debating on whether or not to skip school to get there on time or to wait till i get off at 215 and go there..

[FootlooseSF]

Cool. I'm gonna check it out. I need a new hoodie.
