Nom De Guerre - Manhattan

[rabka]

I was there the day they first released the arabic print hoodies 2 yrs ago for like 180 ish..i hate myself for not buying it. their new hoodies are like 350. They dont carry sneakers or streetwear at all anymore...their stock is usually pretty low when i go....ehhh its not the same

[poly800rock]

they usually have a bunch of stuff downstairs if you just ask...

[lemons]

they are. it's going in right next to sunny's out near the waterfront museum.

:eek:

whoa, what? i live like 2 blocks from there. that shit would be out of hand.

[snugglepony]

i'm sorry, my citrusy friend -- i was just being sarcastic.

sunny's is the shit, though, yeah?

[mlproject]

did they sell out of most of their fall line already? saw most of it right after they brought it out, but eveything is way too expensive.

the noah stuff downstairs blows their entire line out of the water, imo.

PS: They still own (or rent, whatever) the space in Williamsburg. They said they are going to use it as an event space.

[lemons]

Sunnys is dope. One of my friends bartends at bait and tackle so that is generally my neighborhood drinking spot.

Thats a shame, I was going to flip my shit if NDG was going to redhook.

i just got an ndg peacoat from stels. it cost a pretty penny, but it's definitely quality. i saw the other ndg fall outerwear, like the m65 and the shawl collar waist coat (this is pretty awesome) and it's all great. if you're in boston, stel's ndg pieces are pretty slim pickings.

pics please ddohnggo!!! also did you size up for a medium? i recall laguy said that no smalls at stels.....changed your mind about the m65?

[ddohnggo]

i'll post pictures soon. the coat is actually the shawl collar coat seen here:

I got this coat in a large so i can layer underneath it. the coat actually runs smaller so it fits well.

as far as the m65 goes, stels sold out of it and a lot of their other ndg stuff. i saw the m65 from one of the workers there (didn't get his name, nice dude), but for me the m65 wasn't worth it. it's not lined with wool, which doesn't make it as warm as i would like it be, especially for the price. for a little more, i got the shawl collar, which i think is pretty versatile and classic. plus it's lined with wool, to keep me warm during winter. the jacket is really really awesome.

the shawl collar waist coat was pretty insane. around $880, but it seemed really really nice. stels only has 1 left in xl. sold one of them already! i'm surprised that bostonanians have been buying this season's stuff up.

too lazy to turn the picture

the shawl collar waist coat (this is pretty awesome) and it's all great.

Co-sign on this. `The belted shawl collar coat is very well cut, the design well conceived and executed, and the workmanship is amazing. At $880, however, a little steep for a second NdG coat. So you picked up the peacoat? In medium? I liked the M65 more, but that was a very nice piece as well (I just don't do double breasted very often.)

That was John, the co-owner, you talked to. Yeah, nice guy, and knowledgeable too. He got the large M65, I think. And I picked up the medium one. Like I said, they were only sent sticks. When did you go in, btw? When I went to pick up my M65 on Friday afternoon, they had just gotten in the shawl collar coat. It was the best piece design and constructionwise, but 1) I don't really wear long coats, 2)I had my heart set on the M65 (both fit me well), and 3) at $880, a bit too rich for my blood.

It's crazy. The other co-owner told me that the stuff was flying off the shelves.

[poly800rock]

ugg...pics of the m65 please LA Guy!

[ddohnggo]

the m65 has some nice details. the zipper seemed like a pretty decent matte black ykk zipper. the wool was definitely quality. if it were lined with wool, i might have tried to purchase it elsewhere.

[poly800rock]

is it lined at all? fuck i need to get up to NYC. although stayhandsome said there was a shop opening in philly that had this shit....any news?

[ddohnggo]

i was there today in the afternoon. they only have the black parka, one shawl collar coat, and two shawl collar double breasted coat left. as i stated before, i'm really surprised that bostonians have taken a liking to ndg and the high price points. john mentioned that people who had never even heard of the brand picked up pieces because it was so well designed. this season is definitely awesome. wish stels carried more their knits. the knit beanies were nice, but very expensive.

the ndg site doesn't show any stockists in philly. the lining on the m65 is like polyester. i think la guy mentioned what it is on the other sf. i shyed away because i wanted something warmer.

[poly800rock]

hmm...i think i found an alternative jacket...more towards the one i was initially looking for....unless NDG can change my mind....

the philly stockist was supposed to be opening in November...

[ddohnggo]

what's the alternative jacket?

[konsl]

I'd kill for the peacoat in L. Wouldn't mind a pair of those russell moccasins in their lookbook either.

[haberdasher12]

ndg makes very clean, quality gear but their stores are overpriced and ill stocked compared to other NY retailers. If you want the same or similar labels for the suggested retail and not marked up check out Odin, Steven Alan, Oak, and NewDandyism.

[poly800rock]

i'll show you once i get it
