Moncler Down jkt & vest

[herpsky]

I kinda want a moncler vest.

Q1)Does anyone know how much they run for in the states and

the stockists?

the only stockist AFAIK is barneys new york.

i think they had the junya watanabe commes des garcon ones too

Q2) Does the price justify the quality? or is this one of those hyped up items?

[Guest jmatsu]

around 900bucks for the balenciaga for moncler vest piece.

price does not really justify the quality, but def justifies exclusivity.

Steven Alan carries them, but are mostly sold out on their site.

I remember seeing them at Saks as well in the past, but not sure if they still carry.

Are you looking for exclusive designer down vests or do you want something that's just simple and functional? From your posts it seems like you're more after the former.

[herpsky]

former, i suppose.

i dont want a uniqlo down vest

Here is the link for Moncler at Saks:

As a side note my sister recieved a moncler down jacket 3 years ago, she said that it is extreamly warm and the quality is excellent however she said that she would never buy one herself because "it's nice but its not 800 dollars nice."

The prices do not justify the quality and the Junya are becoming a staple of brand whoring over here.

That said, I think they look quite good on some people.

These shits are just too trendy. I just started working at Bloomingdales a couple of weeks back and the same douchebags that buy these buy true religions to wear with them. The navy bubble jacket costs $1295, no fukin joke. The amount of "fashionable"(sarcastically meant) people that ask for these in addition to the music they play there make me wanna quit everyday.

Barneys NYC has them, i got the one in burgundy for $399

Moncler is top notch quality.

In Italy it's much cheaper, my jacket with real fox fur was 450 euro
