[jl3969]

the multi color jawn is on some bape crazy camo shit. weak.

[ruach]

usually they have some killer outerwear

this season is pretty blah

There is definitely some killer outerwear. I can't recall the shipping schedule off the top of my head, but it may not be shipping quite yet. Either that or for some reason Roden Gray didn't pick anything up besides those blazers.

I just want them to bring back the fabric and patterns from last year.

[indesertum]

do they have that plaid jacket they had last season?

Im sure there will be a fair bit more for fall/winter, just the beginning - I would expect some nice jackets, I want to see some denim as well.

[LA Guy]

There is a "surplus" fleece pullover which I've preordered, and a hunting jacket (I put pictures up at Styleforum) which I really like. There are also some lighter jackets (like a shawl zip up) and an M65.

[CommieRabbit]

They're redoing their service boots this season right? Didn't get a chance to cop last time.

If so, anyone know if they'll be the same?

[Sylvestre]

Wings and Horns always seems to put out some garbage as well as some gold, hopefully there is a bunch of strong stuff to come.

[james nicolas]

only thing i'm considering so far

Wow, extremely underwhelming - especially after last F/W.

Those multi-colored tiger fleeces are an eyesore. They did some random multi-color ones a few seasons ago as Japan only exclusives and had some leftovers at the last sample sale. Needless to say they sat there forever which is saying a lot since usually anything tiger fleece is snapped up within seconds.

I'll be especially disappointed if all the shawl-neck fleeces have been ruined by horrid contrast stitching like the one pictured on StyleForum. I love the old-style shawlnecks.

[Ry'on]

i like the thick knit shawl and button up on sf, I will probably get one, but the cowichan from last winter murks them both....

[ericdw]

ugh. only two-tone (and five-tone) tiger fleece? beat.

[ruach]

There is normal Tiger Fleece as well -- the multicolor one was just something done for fun. One store's first shipment does not quite represent the entire collection.

This is really dope, but god damn that price is ridiculous.

[doctorgnar]

Ya'll are straight trippin'. Underwhelming only insofar as not overwhelming. For this brand I think of underwhelming as a good thing. This shit looks dope.

They've done a great job refining some of their mainstays - the p/o hoody, shawl collar styles, the cardigan, the flannel (although, lose the zippers) all look better - introducing some new pieces, like the hunting jacket (I'll still take my Filson Mack any day, but it's a solid effort) which look great, and staying with nice materials.

I'm stoked on all the waffle knit stuff - I'm sure that it will be super good quality and feel great - which is definitely going to be my layer fabric of choice once it's layering weather.

Fuck that multicolored shit - those are just cutting room scraps. I'll think of that as part of their effort to conserve.

Also someone should steal the pics from SF and keep this page updated, please.

[constant struggle]

added stuff to my 3rd post...

Hey! Yeah, please do. Haha.

Fok.

[fogg]

I don't know if they've really done a good job of refining the mainstays - the new shawl looks ridiculous with the contrasting and the new pockets. The only one I'd say they've improved is the pullover hoody and thats only because they haven't really done any pullover hoodies in the last few seasons.

The waffle knit stuff looks interesting but the problem is W+H prices go up and up every season and at this point they're way overpriced for just basics. The thermals and flannels are probably going to be $150+ and likely closer to $200 for the flannels.

Some of this stuff will be good to pick up at the next sample sale when its actually priced reasonably, though. Or when it sits forever on shelves because its priced way too high (like the shoes did) and gets marked way down.

Hopefully there is something more impressive coming in later shipments.

Blackbird's posted some pictures of the outerwear and a few other shirts: http://helloblackbird.blogspot.com/2008/08/wingshorns-fallwinter-2008-coming-soon.html

yup, places like steven alan have the entire line on sale at the end of the season

does anyone know when the first shipment will be on the shelves? or is it already?
