Sierra Designs (and other vintage repros)

[mlproject]

Get 'em up.

Also, anyone know about this canadian piece in particular? is it an authentic remake or an 'inspired' jacket?

I scoped that sierra canada a while back

pretty sure it's a repro like the ones in Japan

but they wouldn't ship to UK

seen another Pendleton lined version

availability unknown

also digging this Cresent Down Works 60/40 from South Willard

yeah that crescent works one is really nice, especially in the small details like the leather reinforced snaps. too bad its only up to a 42.

from what i heard its an 'inspired' jkt, and from that sketch they have up the silkscreened logo on the chest is a definite turnoff. i have a couple of older ll bean and woolrich parkas and the 1 sierra design parka i have is my favorite i gotta say. the little design differences really make it stand out, IMO.

on another brand, this S2W8 looks great

i believe they're design was inspired by an older boulder mountaineer parka.

tried on a crescent down works sample the other day and those fucking things run huge. the medium is roomy on me and i typically wear a XL american apparel tee.

these have exploded this week, i mean first i see a few on JJJound, then I see the supreme one, then its like every blog is jabbing about them.

they are really cool but serious hype.

btw, I copped one from my dad, back of the closet sale.

i've had a couple from the back of the closet sale as well haha. one sierra designs and another copy from joseph banks.

all the image dump blogs are ball grinding on reference library and jjjjound these days.
