comme des garcons X the north face jackets

[genemachine]

anyone know how limited these are and if any spots in the US will get them? also, what's going to be the price range?

[RafLang]

Havent heard anything about it.. sounds cool but also sounds like it will be super expensive..

[sweats]

They are Junya Watanabe Man x North Face, and will only be available in Japan.

[stickykrylon]

that's kinda weird considering they did a collab with moncler last year - shit was dope too.

Junya's new jackets are pretty hott - they hooked it up with gortex.

dig.

Between the Paul Smith/Burton collaboration and this, they've found a way to

make snowboarding even more expensive.

[superposition]

For a piece of CDG, that thing dont look expensive at all, but I know they are!

has anyone seen the NikexCdG line. its in the new POPEYE. the "Athen's 84" hoody is ill. my camera is in europe right now so i cant take pics. but yeah. their gore-tex jackets are money. most of the CdG stuff is a little overboard for me. but they make some nice garments nonetheless.

don't think this is part of their gore-tex line.. but this parka is crazy!

[showbiz00ditc]

that first north face plaid joint is dope. being sold in any shops in NY yet?

[Brienneoftarth]

if anybody could, enlighten me on where I can get some of the higher end snowboarding jackets. I've been wanting one since i saw the paul smith burton one, but i dunno if i'd go for that one.

What does "eYe" mean? Is it in reference to eYe from Boredoms / Vooredoms / Yamatsuka eYe / a ton of awesome songs and remixes, particularly his version of Black Dice's "Endless Happiness?"

I seriously doubt it, but that would be pretty funny.

Somehow I don't think the Boredoms care too much about high-end clothing.

[stickykrylon]

edwin, is that a nike jacket??

dig.

[doom]

yo, dump the crossovers and check out :

acronym jackets at nomad.

and any stone island at delphic.

peace

the eclipse is nigh

Th grey check jacket was Junya Watanabe jacket from last season (SS o5) so your best bet is ebay. I saw it there a couple of weeks agao but don't know if it sold, so you could check back.

Some of the North Face/eYe products are shown on www.doverstreetmarket.com. Now being sold in DSM in London, although I don't think in the CdG NYC store.

[Mbrand]

I may be wrong but not so long ago I saw pics of an upcoming CDGxNF jacket in 2 colourways: blue and black with pinstripes. Is it the same colaboration?

[leviathan]

I think the ones you are referring to are just Junya Watanabe jackets, with no North Face branding. If it's the ones I'm thinking of, they are goretex jackets based on skiwear by Goldwin. They are basiscally Goldwin jackets (Goldwin label on the inside) made with JW fabrics, which are then waterproofed and interlined with goretex. Quite technical, and v expensive. Can get up to around £1000.

[CactusArmy]

I with doom on this one, go with the Acronym stuff. I like CdG and Junya but these jackets are way over priced and they don't look so special - especially if they're like around 4 times the price North Face stuff from what I've heard.

[RY9]

that collab doesnt seem to do much visually except for the plaid one, I think they should have chosen a different base model jacket from TNF.

[Guest yvgeny]

I have a couple of the Watanabe x the North Face collab plaid jackets up for sale:

and

[Guest Fade to Black]

Since we're on the topic of J. Watanabe winter wear, have y'all seen these JW Timbs?

http://www.brownsfashion.com/menfashion122.html

almost $800 for basically an exact copy of Timbs...i'm sure the fabric is gonna be crazy in person but that kind of pricing is just insane.

[Pancho]

The Burton MarkXIII line has a lot of sweet high end jackets not just the Paul Smith

collab.Trench Jacket,Wooly Jacket,Cocktail Jacket and the Downtown Jacket which

looks like a double breasted W/Fur on the hood and is equipted w/Bluetooth. sorry I

Can't post pics of them and I don't have them in the shop yet

[Guest UNKLE21]

can anyone get the plaid eYe x North Face Jacket in an XL? or does anyone know of a place to buy it? also can anyone suggest other jackets similar to this one? any brand, or pattern, but same kind of style.

JEANS...mmm mmm good

[Cue]

anyone know if dover street market has any of these left and what ££ they are going for?

cheers

[teejayess]

Large is the biggest size they do in DSM. They sell for just over £300.

[Cue]

cheers, will go and have a gander

[teejayess]

Try not to step on the wooden raindeer across from the counter, as I did. Doesn't go down too well.

[Kurosawa]

The plaid Parka was at Bloomies in Soho about a month ago, but they took them down because they said the buyers didn't think they would sell. And at $1600 a pop, you best believe that jackets bananas'

K~

[134]

I'm almost positive they are available @ CDG in Chelsea. They start @ $1000.

I might stop by after they go on sale (does CDG have sales?), to see see if they are worth getting for $500+.
