A Kind Of Guise - Spring Summer 2016 -- Room With A View

Hey SF,

I did a quick search and didn't come across an official thread for AKOG so I thought I should start one up. Any fans? I find their stuff to be quite amazing. Some of it feels quite like Our Legacy in regards to textile choice, and fit, but with a bit more of a serious tone for good measure. I find the clothes, and collections, to be quite wearable for almost anyone.

What do you guys think? Do you have much interest or experience with the brand?

A couple images to kick things off:

There is a thread somewhere, buy I like new blood. We covered them at Pitti about 2 years ago.

Iirc, cool brand of Streetwear basics that came out of a student project, right? Interesting materials and color.

AKOG is incredible. I only own a couple pieces because duty makes it so expensive, but I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and fit.

Every collection and lookbook is spectacular IMO. I love the vibe and I think their women's stuff is often just as good. FW14 being my favorite (for women's).

I think the comparison to OL is a good one, although I feel OL has distanced themselves over the past few years. They are a little more... avant garde(?) now.

Very slept on brand I would say. Probably because their stylings aren't so flashy. Can look very conservative but I think their texture sets them apart from being too bland.

I almost want to stay quiet and keep this gem to myself

Previously you could find lots of nice pieces on sale but this year it looks like mostly everything got snatched up quick. They are definitely getting more popular. I regret not copping some things because I waited for them to go on sale.

Thanks to @OccultaVexillum for pointing out that needsupply and unionmadegoods carry AKoG in the US.

I’ve been curious about the Samurai trousers - anyone try a pair?
