Apolis Activism SS09 and FW09 - Page 15

Sorry never owned a camera in my entire life.
I order the USMC in XS, the fit is great and very warm. The shoulders drop a little but that is necessary to accommodate the removable wool lining. Hardware feels very solid and sturdy. The jacket softens up after wearing for a few times. Overall very very happy with the purchase. This jacket trumps the RL BL down jacket and Dsquared ski jacket I purchased recently, I live in Toronto so I need something with hoods for deep winter otherwise I would have returned them. Context's measurements are very accurate. I usually wear a size 34 (44) for snug fitting jacket.

I really like the look but the sleeves on that thing measure very short.

It was just the right sleeve length for me. If you want longer sleeve go for the Wax Bomber Jacket. I was going to get this one too but I have too many blue jackets already. Looks like this one is going fast.

Does the nomad pullover work with indigo denim or is that blue overload?

ive never had a problem doing it.

The USMC jacket looks freaking awesome but I live in FL where the only seasons are "hot and humid" and "hotter and humider" and that makes me very sad. Is it super warm with the liner removed?

The canvas on the USMC jacket is not very thick but the jacket is slightly oversized to accommodate the wool lining. I am guessing with the lining removed the jacket would be perfect for the cooler days/night in Fl.

Just wore the Wool CPO shirt jacket for the first time. The surface felt like soft brushed cotton and cut to be more like a jacket than a shirt.

Works fine for me as well, especially if you wear a shirt under it that has a bit of a color 'pop'. It's a great sweater.

Too bad its out of stock at context. Ah well, should have grabbed it when I had the chance.

I can't think of anyone else who would be carrying it. I called around a lot and got the last one from Brigade.

It looks like Epaulet has it in small.

think he's referring to this jacket

Try calling AB Fits in San Francisco. They carry the jacket, but not sure what sizes they have left. Also try Detour. They told me they were getting them, but I never saw them on their website.

We also have the USMC jacket left in Small and Medium. Our Apolis stock should be online in the next couple days, but if anyone needs anything in the meantime feel free to email or PM me. We also have the Autumn Pullover and lots of Utility Trousers/ Officer Chinos.
