Patrik Ervell S/S 10 New York

Has anyone tried the jean jacket on? I was tempted by the one on the Ervell online store which looks really nice and structured, but the striped one on the Opening Ceremony's site looks so different in fit and much less flattering.

[fads]

whats the general opinion on the tux blazers?

ive been looking for a suit

it fits true to size.

^^ his suits look and feel really nice, but if you care about the whole fused vs. floating canvas issue, his suits are fused

looking for some sizing advice on ervell shirts. what's the fit like? the measurements on the online store look kinda huge but the fit on the model looks great.

i'm normally a 48/japanese M in uniqlo for reference. should I be getting the S?

[minelee]

the fit on the model is pretty accurate, especially the combination collar one; thats exactly what the side silhouette looks like. but i'm afraid if you size down too much the cuffs or the neck might be too tight. i say get true to size.

[nlim3482]

Shirting tends to run a little large. I wear S in BoO and XS in Ervell for reference.

[robgotsastaplerr]

i wear M in boo and sit in between S and M for ervell. When I have an M, the shoulders hit perfect, and when I have an S, the ervell shirts fit better on the pit to pit

[kpnv]

thanks guys!

[iamundying]

^ re: shirts..

The XS in Ervell fit very fitted in the shoulders and chest but the neck is way too tight for me to button it up all the way. Anyways, I just like the fit on the Small (my standard size in most brands) better.

btw, Forward just posted their Ervell buys.

is there any difference between the shirts from the summer and the fall collection? fabric-wise?

[robgotsastaplerr]

quick question i was wondering if anyone with greater ervell knowledge could help me with:

even though he makes a pair of winter jeans for every season, it was to my understanding that the winter jeans are made of a cashmere/cotton blend, but it seems my FW09 winter jeans are 100% cotton according to the tag. Where is the truth?

[iamundying]

^ The winter jeans I have from FW09 are 100% cotton. Cotton moleskin to be exact. Just keep in mind that not all winter jeans are made of cashmere/cotton blend. There was another pair that was wool/cotton blend as well.

[bassmanpatsfan18]

FYI, I have an Ervell oxford in blue, size medium for sale. Check my signature.

[dissident]

Why do the colors seem different in the actual fit pictures versus the item pictured by itself?

I've noticed it on a quite a few of the pieces.

Also, anyone cop or see the jean jacket in person that can comment on it?

[robgotsastaplerr]

^ i figured it was flash?

i've tried on the jean jacket; it's a very smooth type of denim. fit was narrow in the armpits for me at least, but the silhouette is very nice.

i have another question to shoot: anyone know the difference between the jeans this season and prior ones (esp. in terms of fit)? it seems there is no longer a summer/winter pair and just a egalitarian "jean?" i think that the new jeans use a standard button waist instead of the snaps, but looking at the other colors of jeans available on the ervell shop, it seems that some are either using a snap waist or these are just older models.

[minelee]

yea ive seen the jean jacket in person. the denim is similar in color to the jeans. slightly less saturated in color than pictured on forward.

edit: i never had a pair of winter jeans that fit me but i think the inseam and material was the main difference. shoot them an email, they always answer promptly on weekdays.

[culturalmulatto]

From what I have seen, moving forward its "Jeans" in Spring/Summer and "Winter Jeans" in Fall/Winter. Basically, same cut but the "Winter" version is made from a heavier or warmer fabric.

[minelee]

nevermindddd

ah thanks for this clarification. i didn't realize the summer jeans were just called jeans.

[dissident]

was wondering if there was any difference in the materials used for sample pieces versus the production pieces. Are the sample pieces made with superior/inferior/similar quality fabrics?

[mellowfellow]

patrik ervell x THE GAP. cdfa collection debuted yesterday. Prices are expensive.

someone tell me about the silk blazer. classic unstructured silhouette? quality similar to main line or obviously worse?

[culturalmulatto]

yea checked out the GAP x Ervell collection as well. retail is definitely more than regular GAP but you're also getting much nicer pieces than GAP usually offers.

also, found a promotional code hidden in the pocket of a garment for the new online store: ervellgapcvff (20% off).

[robgotsastaplerr]

damn...so it's only in nyc's shop?

any chance for some proxy lovin? or for that matter, how large is the collection?

[raginberriodoom]

i could only find information on three pieces:

“he produced jeans in a railroad stripe denim ($248) that are based on workwear designs, but feature ‘a more modern cut.’ Button-down shirts ($188) feature his signature mother-of-pearl buttons, and blazers that look like tweed are actually constructed from unrefined silk yarn ($298),â€

article here: http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/collabs-westwood-x-lee-cfda-x-gap/19177

couldn't find any pictures though. does anybody have any? and willing to comment/proxy on the quality of the items?

clarification about the equivocal "jean" on the website.

i went to nom de guerre and felt it. it's basically the 100% cotton material shown in fw09 but thinner, NOT the linen/cotton one from last year.

essentially i think you could get away with wearing these in every season, so i don't know if he'll be making "summer jeans" or "winter jeans" unless someone has some confirmation about that?

Ok. Let's clarify this once and for all.

I've got 6 pairs of Ervell jeans and they are labeled "Summer Jeans" or "Winter Jeans" respectively.

I have both summer and winter jeans in 100% cotton (different weights/weaves of course) and I have summer jeans in a cotton/linen blend and winter jeans in a cotton/cashmere blend. There are no a/w cotton/linen jeans, naturally...just as there are no s/s cotton/wool or cashemere jeans. Another difference between seasons is the weight of the material. But that should go without saying.

The fabric blend is dependent on colour of the item in question in conjunction with the season and year in which said item was produced. e.g. The khaki coloured a/w 2009 jean was 100% cotton while the brown coloured jean from the very same collection was a cotton/wool blend. The navy jean for a/w 2009 was 100% cotton but the navy jean from a/w 2008 was a cotton/cashmere blend, if I recall.

For the current s/s 2010 collection, only one colour came in the cotton/linen blend....and that is 'Khaki'. Which isn't available for sale on the Ervell website. I'm not sure if anybody is stocking that colour either. I'm not even sure if it was produced for s/s 2010. Maybe they were pinching pennies this year and stuck with cotton (scrapping production on the khaki colour). The cotton/linen fabric would obviously be a bit more expensive and thus would have to command a slightly higher price to maintain profit margins. A tougher sell for retailers. In the off-chance that you happen to find a pair of Khaki coloured Ervell jeans from s/s 2010, they will be a blend of 52% cotton/ 48% linen. Trust me.

Also, you can plainly see the general fabric content of each colour of jean (or any other article of clothing for that matter) that was made next to each runway picture on the Ervell website. They take these notes down from the previous years when they upload pictures of the current year's shows. Thus, you can only see the notes for the current and upcoming season.

whodinihimself - thanks a bunch for this ultimate clarification; it was my understanding, and yours, that the fw08 jeans only had cashmere and the fw09 featured moleskin cotton instead. well, for navy anyways.

also, found a quick little pic of the ervell x gap collection:

seems to be sweaters also available to the above list.

[tigerformula]

I anyone has some of the Winter Jeans in a dark gray wool/cotton size 32 I would definitely but up to buy
