TBH, the prices of most W+H basics like sweatpants, sweatshirts, oxfords, t=shirts, ect., are perfect at the factory sales- I'm not sure I'd pay the absurd prices they seem to garner at retail. Their higher-end stuff, like outerwear and cashmere looks totally worth the price, however. But 200 for a hoody? Money to burn or not- how can people rationalise this?

CYC makes W+H stuff, RC is their own brand. It's basically a budget version of the same fabrics/construction.

Anyone own the W+H x HR Fishtail Parka from last year?

 

Mine's arriving soon, I wonder how it will hold up in -10ºC / 14ºF weather.

Does anyone have any info on this jacket from yoox? http://www.yoox.com/ca/41315667BE/item?dept=#sts=dreambox80&cod10=41315667BE&sizeId=

 

I've been looking for an item like that but not sure if the 100% polyester description is correct, it sounds odd for a jacket like that. Appreciate the help.

^looks like the w+h polartec duffle hoodie. I believe polartec is made from polyester so I guess the description is somewhat accurate.

You are obviously a big Balmain fan.

would you recommend? polartec sounds like something that would be warm, this would be something to wear in 0-10 celsius weather

sizing on the large loop hoodie?

52cm pit to pit on the large seems slimmish...

Can the bush pants be expected to stretch? Worried about sizing down but its the only size left.

Anyone try on the tanker pants? Is it roomier like their antifit westpoints? The measurements on the website are identical but I'd like to double check.

Check out Acrimony or Blackbird. They've got 30% and 20%-off respectively, and, I think all sizes still around between the two of them.
