wings+horns F/W 2012

Their shoes frequently hit 50%, though you can't always guarantee that a full size run will be available. 30% sounds very safe though.

The shoes profile are comparable to german army trainers.

IMO, $400 is overkill for sneakers.

Do they go on sale on the wings + horns website? I like some of those sneakers but not for $380

this is the first season wings put em there own online shop. but i got the white leather lows from nomad for 155 last year, and blue suede lows recently from holts for 169. also i passed on the black highs and lows, and brown lows, all on sale as well. if you wait, you will find them somewhere online. last season nomad, RG, and ssense all had a pretty good size selection in different colours all on sale

Definitely, especially ones that are solidly built but from a materials standpoint nothing amazing

Thanks for the input dudes, will keep track of this thread in anticipation of that 30-50% around wintertime.
When exactly do the sales happen though? Jan/Feb? Dec would be sick

Also, as far as chunkiness as long as no one confuses them for supras or something I think I'll be ok lol

Should be safe with people not mistaking them for Supra's.

Some sales have already started happening and I've seen them available for 20-25% off in a couple spots now. Should be 30% end of this month or December. 40%+ Boxing Week and into the new year.

So this seasons F/W will go on sale end of this month to december? I hope so, because I have a few items from other brands, which I'm returning. So maybe with the money i'll be getting back, I'll wait to see what jackets will go on sale.

are they going to relase the leather moto jacket?

The leather moto jacket will not be released exactly in this cut on the link. The lambskin on the jacket that they wanted to release to retailers was supposed to be more distressed, and because they promised this look to retailers, apparently they took production off the moto's. But there should be a version we should see that will be slightly different.

The moto jacket was the best buy at the sample sale. A leather lambskin jacket with incredible fitment and great detailing should not go for sub $400. I am very happy with buying this and plan on rocking it hard this season.

anyone know if the research bomber from f/w11 stretches? tried on a small at the sample sale and was good fit but real tight in the chest/shoulder area (esp if i lift my arms)

I got the bomber in a M and it fits perfectly. I think people have commented that it is a slimmer fit which you obviously are familiar with now. The point of a bomber is to be able to fit something a bit thicker undernearth, so it seems its a bit too trim for you, but why not wear it for a while and see if it fills out.

Good luck

^ does the moto still have the fur along the collar?

No the new model that goes to retailers is supposed to have it apparently.

Hows the quality of their wool/wool blend knitwear/sweaters?

I really like the 'Shawl' sweater (made in Canada) and the 'Marled' sweater (made in China) - One thing that is deterring me from buying it is the fact that its Dry Clean Only.

i have the marled made in china one. started to pill almost immediately.

Anyone know about the fitting on the Pimaloft quilted shirt? Should I size up from my size with the Tiger fleece hoodies or their henleys?

i sized up for the tiger fleece, better fit but sleeves are too long
