Cloak from past seasons?

[shinobi2000]

What are the chances that I'll be able to find jackets from past season's of Cloak? I tried looking on Ebay, nothing.

[goldengloves]

Not sure if superfashion is the right place for this question but ebay/yahoo.jp auctions are your best bet. Also keep your eye out on the classifieds here.

[lacquered]

yeah, i tried yahoo jp too, but the results are dissapointing:mad:

It happens. It happens quite often as a matter of fact. Most coveted things seem to be fall/winter 04 - thats where you see people paying above original retail sometimes. to make matters worse, collections from back then do not have an xs/28 size, making things quite challenging for some of us.

cloak will have another big sale before they'll close a store sometime in spring. they should have last year jackets as well. i'm looking for a bomber personally.

[Mente]

I went to the Cloak store in NY to check things out and they had a few things from f/w 06.

Picked up that leather jacket 60% off.

My friend, who goes by Uncooked, on superfuture picked up that jacket in another colorway. They had this color available as well.

They also had both these jackets as well as the oversized houndstooth and cardis and vests in 3 different colors. Sizes were limited, but its worth checking them out.

How much did you pay for the Cloak barn jacket? And did you notice if they had it in a size S?

You'll get one or two in about 6 months on ebay, just keep checking back. I picked up a F/W 04 blazer off there semi-recently.

These garment pieces are from the era of the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Award, and the Seamless documentary.

Yeah, I picked that one up and love it. Had to have it taken in a bit though since it's a size too big.

Now, is there somewhere on the intrawebs with photos of pre-SS05 collections?

If I knew it'd end that low I woulda biddddd.

[djrajio]

It's XL though..if it were only XS! Gahhh....

[jeepster]

its upsetting to think such great clothing was designed by this man

question: cloak stuff seems to be small generally - was the sizing between a certain height? and servo, im allowed to ask questions, right? you seem to hate it when i don't know things that seem to be common knowledge among the sufu brain-trust.

[Fabulaz]

That's just a bad picture. Really bad actually.

Huh?

Why is it upsetting? Plenty of designers aren't the most photogenic people in the world. Who cares. Their artistic vision is what matters and Alexander has tons of talent. XS = 44, S = 46, etc... generally but certain pieces tend to be all over the place....

[headcoat]

Cloak from before 2006 fit small, similar to Dior Homme of that time. Last season's Cloak was pretty damn big, felt even bigger than true size.

I like when designers are slobs. The incongruity of their sleek pieces on their models compared to the person behind it.

Its interesting in architecture too; seeing a powerful, bold structure designed by some frail old man whos got a foot in the grave.

[jeepster]

i was making a joke about the look of him, but its ok if you're up in arms about it.

anyways, so the sizing is much more attuned to a vanity sizing kind of thing? like if you're small, get an XS? something like that?

i can't remember a time when i was ever that small. maybe 5th grade.

[Fabulaz]

Does anyone have anything pre-2004? or better yet photos (other than the ones on NYMAG) of pre-2004 stuff.

Other way around. Things fit smaller, as everyone has been saying. If you normally wear a small you'll most likely need a pre-2006 cloak medium. Definitely depends on the piece, though.

I wouldn't say everyone is up in arms so much as they're puzzled by your admittedly half-hearted attack on the man.

[djrajio]

I think in general, sizes are getting bigger because Americans are getting bigger. A few years ago a small would fit me perfectly but now I need an xs in most american clothes. Thank god for Japan.
