Wings & Horns Fall 2006

[Kane]

And oh:

http://www.revolverfilms.com/electrikheat/

which shows the Wings & Horns Beaded / Tassled PO Hoodie in our Sueded Fleece that someone mentioned sometime back ("think Visvim"?). I think that's a really cool piece; however, I don't think many of our North American customers ordered many.

Does anyone know if our Wings & Horns sueded fleece pieces have arrived in stores? They're either a PO Crew or PO Hoodie, either plain or with a print on the inside of the garment. New fabric we're using which I think is very nice.

[Kane]

if that's the case, would it make sense to size down on the current fall season's classic fit if you want a similar fit to last seasons classic fit?

I don't think it's just a size-down thing. I haven't done any user testing to check it out, but based on the specs, the numbers are different everywhere. Even though they're slight tweaks here and there in parts, the whole is an entirely different garment than previous seasons' Classic Fits.

to echo Kane, it's definitely not a size-down thing. The cut of the sweatshirt is completely different. If you like baggier, "traditional" sweatshirts, you'll definitely like the new classic fit. If you like your sweatshirts slim or fitted, you'll hate it. (I'm in the latter category.) I guess this is more appropriate, since the classic fit is now.. um.. classic, and the slim fits are, well, slim. Too bad Nomad didn't order any slim fits...

The shawl collar sweatshirts are definitely slim-fitting, though, so they're not cut like the classic-fit hoodies.

Not a fan of the Lampos. It's already not been as smooth as my other Spruce hoodies with Riri zippers. Are Lampos more expensive? or is there another reason for the increase in price.

Yeah, I don't know why Nomad didn't order any slim-fits. I wonder if they were under the impression that the Slim fit and Classic were the same, and since they were so similar, etc etc...

And the Shawls are a completely different style altogether. Oi Vey.

[xcoldricex]

lampo's are of lesser quality than riri's from what i understand

[sr20det]

Actually, when I asked Nomad about the slim-fits they claimed you guys didn't make them for the pin-striped hoodies this season. :confused:

I am intrigued by this. I would really like to see pics of the PO Hoodie if someone comes across it.

[mike lowrey]

anyplace to get W+H/W&H in the UK?

[sbw4224]

If you're in London, try Diverse in Islington. Start may carry them too.

[mike lowrey]

yea forgot to mention, I know diverse stocks them, hopefully I'll have time to stop by there and try Start too..

thing is I only have a couple of days and gotta check so many places downtown, both are a few miles away

this has probably been asked but any online stockists? I dont know why I didnt get one of the hoodies in nyc at famous friends when I was there, stupid..

Famous Friends doesn't have their stock yet. I think that only Nom de Guerre has it right now.

Rakuten's Explorer Collective and United Arrows both carry pinstriped slimfit hoodies, so someone is making up facts as they go along...

There are pics at Styleforum (.net). I'm too lazy to look for the thread, but just search "peasant" and "W+H", and you should find it.

so where can I get ahold of that duffle coat, cos that thing needs to be in my closet.

Nom de Guerre has them, and I think that Nomad does too. I think that Uncle Otis told me that they were getting both the peacoat and the duffel (which is really more like a hoodie peacoat.)

[timpoblete]

If anyone's interested, here are two more Japanese webstores that carry W+H:

Mike, I stumbled across this the other day- http://www.autog.co.uk/index.php?id=18

Hope it helps.

[chrisbunnington]

so for everyone in toronto, uncleotis is also carrying W+H. unlike Nomad they got slim fit hoodies in. however, they got a lot less stuff overall than Nomad did- they got coats, hoodies, a few other sweaters and i think the thermals as well. also, their prices are a little bit lower than Nomad's- they were selling the hoodies for $165 each. i picked up a slim fit black pinstripe, and a navy blue peacoat. i'll get some pictures up later.

meant the spruce hoodies, in the beginning of the summer they still had them when I was there

[sinnah]

I was at uncle otis today... they had all the zip hoodies there, no pull overs though... tried on the duffel coat, fit amazing! I will probably pick it up tmrw. I had a little chat with the person working there, they said they had A LOT of calls today from the USA inquiring about W+H stuff and then I come home to see superfuture back online with uncle otis mentioned in this thread haha.

If you talked to a white dude with short brown hair, you probably talked with Donnell, the owner. He is one of the good guys in the industry, Straight up guy, pays suppliers extremely promptly, no-attitude customer service, essentially just treats everyone right. And his store is probably the original *streetwear* store in Toronto. I would highly recommend taking your business to him. All imhe, of course.

yep white dude, short brown hair... definitely a very cool guy

[eddy8]

so does uncleotis ship to the us?...or any store for that matter? or anyone doing pickups?

[Kane]

From what I understand, not too many of these were picked up by our North American stores, but I thought you guys might be interested.

Holy crap, that thing's amazing. The detachable fur collar is a nice touch, as is the stitch detail on the bottom pockets. The angle on those pockets are good for putting your hands in, which I don't see in many m-65 types recently.

[ddohnggo]

kane, is there a way for us to get our hands on that bad boy from you guys directly?

also, is cyc going to do a spruce/wings and horns sample sale again this december?

[cureOne]

jesus that jacket is awesome, whats the pricepoint, and why no NA stockists

[malsponge]

Whoa, Kane, you just blew my mind with that M65. I was holding out against getting one, but I might have to have that for xmas or something.... That maroon color on the inside is an amazing touch. And those angled pockets.

Oh, and does wings & horns make pants? I read somewhere that you guys did...

[implicit]

yeah. kane, if that m65 is available i'd totally pick one up.
