I want one of those terry hoodies & I like the shoes, but have to see results of common projects first.

[Danger]

Cool hoodies

[pompadork]

Shit i want that parka.

[alexryb]

I wish they would stop trying to do shoes..

[cyberPUNK]

i like that weekend bag...and the hoodies are definitely a temptation.

[newaesthetic]

Hmm, another APC hoodie might be necessary for me, I'm liking the blue one. The bag is also really nice. Waiting to see what else they come up with, hopefully it's better than the f/w stuff.

i really like that rain parka. i think the shoes are great, too, but i won't be copping. is it just me, or should apc prices be about 20% lower than they are?

Agreed 10000x.

is that "rain parka" really waterproof? the material and lining looks exactly like the blue gabardine jacket from spring 07, which is not waterproof. oh well it looks good anyway, duno about that price tag though.

The parka will be mine and it's cotton so it's not waterproof not sure why you would assume so. The bag is really nice in person, look for both in an upcoming rp post.

The price isn't bad, however the shoes are ridiculously priced not blackbird's fault. They look like the low top version of my boots and mine were only 387.

It is called a "rain parka" on Blackbird. Can't much imagine the theory behind a "rain parka" that isn't waterproof.

How the fuck is cotton gonna be waterproof? It seems to have a coating but that doesn't mean you can withstand a storm in it and remain dry.

In speaking with Tyler last week, we agreed it is probably water resistant at best and the labelling is merely an issue of semantics so no point arguing a speculative point further.

Either way, if it fits it's mine.

As jet mentioned, water resistant would probably be a better term. Until I can further investigate, I just removed specific terminology in the post to prevent confusion. It is really lovely, though. Today was pouring down rain/snow and I was really wishing I had the jacket...

You can thank the exchange rate/weak USD for that. FW07 and previous seasons were probably purchased at a 1:1.25 or lower exchange rate, now the SS08 will be purchased at 1:1.49.

[constant struggle]

my rain parka is on the way to my house already, should be here by the weekend...

can't wait

[poliopoliopolio]

does anyone know whether this bag is spring 2008?

it's credited as APC here but that's just some dude's blog. i don't remember seeing it last season.

I have a W&H spring jacket that is 100% cotton with some type of water resistant coating. I've been through some pretty heavy rains and I've never gotten wet, but I wouldn't want to be outside for hours in it, though. If this APC coat has something similar you're all set to go.

yeah seriously, and if you are outside for hours with a actual waterproof jacket, you pants are soaked by then anyways

[poopie boy]

jacket and bag are legit

[todesengel]

i posted fit pics of the parka in my last waywt post if anyone's interested

[ReggieKray]

how'd you get that parka already?

[todesengel]

blackbird has them in stock

[brandon]

^What size is that parka? how tall are you?

the bag and outerwear get my vote, i can pass on the oxfords.

has anyone gone to the APC outlet store in Williamsburg? or is it even open yet?

[timpoblete]

Saw the rain parka over at the San Francisco Barney's all the way in the back. IIRC, the lining is 100% cotton, but the outside definitely isn't. It's some mix of poly materials.

BTW, IIRC, they had a cropped khaki pea coat, a striped sweater t-shirt, pants, button up shirts, navy zip up cotton jacket/cardi thing, and the rest is beyond my memory. The mediums of the rain parka and tee weren't on the rack, or they're sold out.

[constant struggle]

I know blackbird already sold out of L and M in the parka, I might have got the last small.

The lining on the parka we have is 100% cotton. The body lining is, off the top of my head, a rayon/cotton blend and sleeves are cupra/something else.

We have it left in XS, S, XL.

That parka looks really nice on todesengel but i wonder if he sized down.

I sized down to a M. I'm 6'1", 180lbs and I usually wear a size L.

I agree with the above comment of APC's attempt at shoes. Their shoes really lack style and seem very plain. I am by no means a sophisticated shoe kind of guy but their shoes just don't do it for me. However, that parka is very nice.
