yea that arabic hoodie looks pretty sweet, wonder what it says tho

[absolut]

that hoodie is prolly like 300 lol.

[hahnstch]

i think the arabic/persian print on the hoodie basically reads nom de guerre. they should cost around $200

[powerglov]

who hates the store so much? never been there but looks all good to me.

[hifashion]

$200-300 for that arabic hoodie? what kinda materials they using to constitute that?

[Rockn]

The sweatshirt is $225 dollars, Complex gave them three references in this months issue and profiled the sweatshirt.

They also gave superfuture a shout out, anyone catch the issue?

[soultek]

I've detected a lot of hate directed at this store too. Not sure why.

During my last trip to NYC, it was one of the most impressive stores I visited. Impressive because of location, store setup, quality of materials, fit, colors, staff (friendly and helpful). Their co-branded/exclusive stuff was neat. Their shoe selection was good. The other brands they carried were good too.

It was a little overpriced maybe, but to me that didn't really matter because it seemed like they got everything else right.

The clothes seem to focus on classic designs with attention to fit and fabric: checkered button downs in basic colors, M65 type jacket, merino wool V-necks. No loud labels, logos, or lettering. Good for people who may feel like they have outgrown Stussy (no disrespect intended, I like Stussy too).

I cannot say I like the arabic print hoodie though..

[UnhappySupremeCustomer]

I'm way feeling ndg. The only reason my closet isnt full of it is because its overpriced and a large fits like a small.

Looky here, it's just the way the cookie tear. Prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle, rookie year.

[absolut]

well youre paying for the design basically im sure its like russell athletic quality

[no one likes NY]

are you kidding me? dont ever compare nom de guerre to "russel athletic quality." NDG uses only cut and sew peices and high quality fabrics.

[absolut]

ok still 200 for a hoodie or a sweater?? common. though i gotta admit i would def buy it because of the design.

[hahnstch]

i rather get this though, more than half the price... if only they still have my size

you know you have to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues

200$ for a hoodie no. I agree w/ you on that one.

200$ for an italian made virgin wool baby blue vneck sweater. I say yes.

When i was there in May the guy specifically said there will be no plans for mail order. They want you to come visit the store.

rogan hoodies are $200. Hoodies are so ubiquitous is is only a matter of time before someone makes a $500 hoodie. I met a guy that had this hoodie (I don't know the designer, but this guy could afford anything) that had a military can opener on the zipper pull, it was rad!

serge,

are those rogan hoodies washed or distressed much? i'm interested in checking those out, but it's too damn hot here to even think about it yet.

Yeah, that's something I didn't want to say because it's so ridiculous, but hey, there you go.

GDEH, Supreme, and some Japanese labels are doing/have done stuff with Arabic writing. I like it.

What's the label that that cool hunter / branding dude who was interviewed on the Brilliance a while back called? They had some vicuna wool hoodies for way over the $500 mark.

That's the one. Not really feeling anything aside from that hoodie (and not feeling that too much either) after looking at the site (my ninja fantasies having ended at around the same time I started to notice girls). Best of luck to them getting anyone with approximately equal amounts of money and sense to throw down $3k on a halloween costume.

chwa?

[ReasonRumRunners]

The V-neck arabic tees are FIRE ($50)

I also hear they carry some sick tees by other designers in the back

I love NDG. I'm far from their typical customer genre, but they always have interesting products, and the guys who run the store really are some cool motherfuckers. Wills that dude, and I wish them all the success ni the world, because they are kepnig it real in their own little way. I'm waiting for them to start stiocknig the 3x's and 4xs so I can realy suppotr them.

[emrinderForgotHisPassword]

oh i didn't know there was anyone on here who rolled with the thugged out 3X tees, interesting little twist

i fought the law and the law won
