Spruce and Wings&Horns!!!!

[djfischer]

Hey there,

need a little help. I heard a lot about these brands from Canada, but cannot find much more info on them. Any idea of the Spruce and Wings&Horns websites?? Or online shops/shops that carry them?

Thanks a lot already.

what'a available at situationormal at this point btw? their website seems to have never been updated

[MyMindSpray]

Spruce/Wings&Horns don't have a website...but their stuff is very straight foward...nothing over the top...they concentrate on quality and cutting...to my knowledge, all the stores listed above carry their goods as well as Ships in Japan, Richard Kidd in Vancouver and Nomad and Uncle Otis in Toronto (Uncle Otis only carries Spruce)...

on a side note, to all the toronto cats, if you haven't copped the BDU pants made by Wings&Horns at Nomad yet, DO SO...the joints are ill....

[sr20det]

nor do they decide to open the store.

TNT Blu also picked up the line (Wings). BDU pants are really nice, if they're the ones I'm thinking of (authentic CDN issue milspec buttons/camo material).

[MyMindSpray]

you bet Circa....the very same....

question...the pair you saw at TNT, did they have drawstrings by the ankles?

thanks.

[Circa]

Naw the BDU pants I saw were the same ones you saw at Nomad. The stuff at TNT doesn't run that deep, their buy consisted of only the Tees really. Tho they did have a couple more that I've never seen at Nomad.

[misterdobalina]

whats the prices like?

[STOLEN FROM POLAND]

Spruce probally make some of the illest repro vintage sweatshirts available. The marble dye process on the sleeves they did was niceness.

Wings and Horns and Spruce is available in Toronto at Nomad and Uncle Otis...

Rumor has that Caban locked down an account with spruce for spring 2006. I would like that rumor to be proved wrong immediately!

that would be fucking disasterous.

[misterdobalina]

cmon, caban has some nice vases and cushions from time to time.

and they sell the 501 10 year jean for only one bill!

[Circa]

Caban is making some moves, I heard the same thing regarding Spruce too.

[MyMindSpray]

Caban will most def be carrying Spruce come 2006, maybe even fall 2005...they will not be carrying Wings&Horns, but expect their range in the Spruce line to be very extensive...(looks like Caban is pushing to be the flagship)...anyhow, i can see why Caban wants Spruce...it fits their image 100%, simple wearable clothing at a moderate to high price...and as far as Spruce's outlook goes, why not make a buck or two?...Wings&Horns will continue to be the "exclusive" line so that they're able to maintain some cred...overall, not too fond of Caban stocking one of my favorite lines, but if a Canadian company can get over, so be it, all the more power to them...

[gomi no sensei]

It's been about 8 months now... Anyone have any leads on where to get spruce stuff online?

[djrajio]

Nano Universe here in Japan also carries them. Interestingly, the line wasn't popular with Japanese hipsters. Hence, ALL spruce and wings and horns was 50% off last New Years.

[jiomitori]

Does anyone know when Steven Alan is getting new Spruce and W&H stuff for the spring?

[LA Guy]

Seeing as Steven Alan represents both lines in their showroom for the US, I would imagine that they will carry the line.

Richard Kidd (who actually designed Wings & Horns, don't know about Spruce) will no longer carry the lines since RK cut off his ties with the company. Lots of retailers are dropping the line - several have told me both lines are a disappointment compared to former seasons.

Caban had Spruce last F/W already. I don't see how that was a disaster for Spruce, which sold old pretty much everywhere. Quality is quality, and people who don't buy the hype can see that. CYC is a big operation with good QC. Exclusivity and quality are not equivalent.

[minya]

I don't think Richard Kidd actually had any formal connection with Wings & Horns, as much as I thought there was one.

I'm also 99% positive Caban has never stocked Spruce.

^ where are you getting all your information from???? i'd like to see Kane chime in on what you claim.

[gomi no sensei]

Steven Alan currently just has Spruces in a sort of annoying blue color... As for Caban, I don't see anything that even suggests they carry sweatshirts.

[SENDkylHISPASSWORD]

Caban stocks lots of good clothing brands... I don't remember seeing any, but it fits in with their aesthetic.

[ddohnggo]

i agree. kane should say something about it all.

[homi29]

never looked seriously into spruce till lately

how much does their gear run for

[Circa]

Far as I know Caban did stock Spruce but sold out fairly quickly. Prices range, jackets were in the $4 bill region, hoods $200, t's/long sleeves $100 or so if memory serves correct. Horns I think was maybe a little less but the same ballpark. Between the two lines I prefer Wings personally. Surprised no one's mentioned Uppercut, similar gear.
