the duffer flagship store in london has been stocking both labels for already a few seasons now, but they charge outrageous prices (double US retail!! - don't ask me how's that possible for an authorized retailer)

i think urban outfitters in london had spruce in a few seasons back, but not anymore.

selfridges had it too, don't know if they still stock it though.

It's pretty typical. Most American brands sell for about double American retail that in the UK. Paper Denims for 165 pounds, Sevens for 199, it's crazy. London is just expensive, is all. Even English highstreet brands (FCUK, for example) is significantly cheaper in the US than in the UK. And this was even before the low dollar.

that's the UK distributor right? i think they do prps as well.

who needs a distribution in the UK anyways if you're better off walzing in any given US retailer and buying the gear there?

go figure you're a retailer in the UK and the distributor charges you more than US retail. that's an insult straight to the face... considering the distributor still gets 60%+ off retail from CYC.

that being said, i'm not suprised spruce and w&h is completely unknown in the UK. or europe.

I think part of the issue is that there is a huge VAT duty slapped onto any goods imported into the UK.

Our garments are NAFTA friendly, meaning within North America, there are no duties or taxes imposed during importing. I think VAT's about 16%, which is huge.

As for goods going into Japan, I don't think there's any duty for our goods going into the country; however, I do know that each garment is further hand-inspected before even hitting the warehouse.

Finally, there's the matter of volume -- another catch-22 in itself.

Now, this said, I think the European market's tough to get into. In terms of who influences whom, I see fundamental trends starting there and trickling down to Japan, and then finally into North America.

Granted, there are North American social/cultural influences that do affect the European Market, but IMHO, these are more superficial.

the hoodies are nice -- however, they're essentially identical to last season's zip-ups, but made with french terry as the inside fabric instead of combed fleece. They're still quite heavyweight, though. The pricing was somewhere around $185 I believe....

I checked Ron Herman and every single store in both Fred Segals (melrose, santa monica) and spruce or w&h hoodies are no where to be found. I've hit up every street wear shop I know of in LA and most of the workers haven't even heard of spruce or w&h. I guess i'll just try to order one somewhere. How do the spruce slim fit compare to AA thermal lined hoodies? I wear a small in the AA thermal hoodie so would I need a small or med in the spruce slim fit? Thanks.

Nice fit.

My (half assed) quest to acquire spruce apparel continues with no luck. Got a heads up from Nomad on their new stock but it dropped in my junk box and by the time I checked in they'd all vanished. Here's what Zeb said:

The only Slims I got left in medium are a solid White and Dark Brown.

I also restocked the discontinued Slim Fitting Marble Dye Hoodies.

Available in medium are White/ Kelly Green, White/ Blue and Grey/

Black. These bad boys retail for $275 Cnd including applicable taxes.

Kanye Wes came in last Wednesday and bought all my XL's. These are

extremely limited and will never be reproduced so, Lemme know if you

are interested.
