Could they be dropping the bricks & mortar and moving to an online shop?

I'm not sure exactly, however, the shops original owner, Koji, is no longer at the store. I'm not sure if that means the store is closing entirely or if the store is going to take a new direction with new ownership. I'm assuming if Nepenthes said they were a stockist this season that they are still around in some fashion.

Shoot, why do the ladies only get this? At least, there is an Andover for the boys ...

Pining over how to wear the long Dayton. Even hems give it kind of a female dress look unless you layer over it a bunch. I have a couple ideas what to do, will post pictures if it doesn't end up a disaster...

^ I have already played dress up and have a few ideas. If I get some time over the weekend, I will post results as well and we can noodle over success or fail.

Olive homespun? Would love to see a better pic... is this a case of kop blindly via the phone? Should be priced similar to the brown homespun in the low $500s?

Not sure what size jacket you normally wear. I'm in between a 44 and a 46 (U.S. sizing) and the XL is pretty snug on me.

On a more personal note... picked up the Jacquard Pull Over Parka and Long Dayton shirt... two of my favorite new styles that Daiki's produced in a long time. Very dope, fun to wear stuff. Can't wait for the weather to drop so I can actually wear the pull over.

I hadn't really figured out how to properly cinch or wear the pull over in that pic so the shape looks a bit weird , but thought I'd post it anyways.

Just showing off the 13oz Herringbone Bedford that I got from Independence in Chi-town. Finally back from the tailors and I'm happy to say they did a great job bringing the sleeves up from the shoulders. Matching pants coming next week.

Real nice piece.

Thanks. It's a medium.

Edit:

Pretty sure they're out of mediums.

Nepenthes told me these are the guys carrying it this year:

Allan Joseph
Corridor EG
Escalier Boutique EG
Frans Boone
Independence
Trunk Clothiers
Envoy of Belfast

Good luck

Whoah, that looks great! I think it's your best.

(Please disregard my earlier confusion -- I think the street blog I was looking at literally posted a picture of the wrong jacket :facepalm: )
