it's a pretty nice collection, sorta APC redux but with brighter colors. i've only gotten through a bit of it so far, dunno if this makes it to mens stuff (they do some pretty decent men's stuff)

nothing spectacular, but that exploding mouse shirt is clever

some nice button-downs but they look to be cut really weird, that kangaroo pocket crew sweatshirt though might be coppable.

they're cut really really long. like i'm a big guy, and when i tried on a large, it was down below my crotch. i think they're meant to do that oversized look with. i'm not into that whole look, but i believe they're intentionally cut for that sorta style.

interesting. some of the jackets are pretty nice.

how's the quality? are most, if not all their items fit big?

the jackets are decent, a bit boxy. sleeves are all long, which is nice. most of the t's are still printed on AA, but they do have some of their own printed on BbyW t's. everything is sorta longish, but the button downs especially.

I would say quality is pretty good. Fit is kind of all over the place. Last time I was in the Soho store (awhile ago) I couldn't fit into anything--polo shirt was muscle-shirt tight, oxford was too baggy.

My gf loves their stuff.

i tried it on in the soho store in december. it's a tad boxy, but its a well constructed garment, has long sleeves, and its warm as hell.

[retemeris]

how thick is the yachting jacket? im looking for fall/spring jacket for the east coast... would it be too thick?

looks nice. i always like the women's stuff more than her men's.

just saw some ads for what i'm guessing is f/w, but nothing on the site yet. a couple good button downs that look like they're on NOAH's dick, but we'll see how they are in person.

but if people use the acronym in their waywt description people will think they're wearing big beautiful woman

[mlproject]

that's only fun until you get caught

I keep trying on their shirts... and I have a sneaking suspicion that most men's shirts would fit much better on butch chicks who tape-down their breasts for hiding purposes... or would fit well on wide shouldered men with really really skinny arms. Basically... shirts fit very uniquely.
