PSA: NAU going out of business 50% off all clothes sale

hitormiiss · May 6, 2008

anyone have some good reviews of this company I'm about to buy a carbon succinctshell jacket in size small. I just wanna make sure it's worth the price. how does it look in real life compared to pictures?

i've tried on some of their pieces while the store in my area was still open; i'd say good quality and good little details for a tech jacket, however the price was a bit steep for my liking at the time so i passed.

Some of the stuff looks pretty good, especially for the tech rainwear. Anyone know how the sizing is on their jackets?

I found their cuts pretty roomy. 5'9", 43" chest and I have a medium rain jacket from Nau which fits quite nicely. For comparison, I have a few Nice Collective jackets and L is a tight squeeze in the chest, XL being way too big in the sleeves.

+1. Good quality, good concept in that they only use sustainable and/or organic materials and donate 5% of your order. Fairly well styled for a technical outerwear company. I never had enough money to buy the stuff though; $80 base layers are not exactly affordable. At 50% off it's a good deal, and miles ahead of most North Face stuff.

hrm, so will they all look like tents on a very skinny frame?

dshack:

im just about your size, and i find that h&m outerwear in 34R fits nice and slim. also Corpus outerwear is often unisex, so size small fits really well too (and from the few pieces I have, they seem to be cut for shorter people too!)

Hmm the confidant pant looks pretty sweet... Don't know whether its slim, but it looks so? What do you guys think of this?

Really? a medium Nau = between L and XL in Nice Collective? I'm screwed!! I ordered two pieces in XL and I wear XL in NC...

I don't agree. I think their cuts are slim to normal fitting. One of their trademarks is the long sleeves though (for coats). The want you to wear them so the end up between your wrist and knuckles.

Did anyone get the email confirming that their item has shipped with the tracking #?

My true waist is 28, would any of the pants sized 29 fit me?

vikingmd · May 8, 2008

I ordered 5/05 and haven't heard a thing other than my order confirmation.

In my experience, you size down one for Nau pants. So no, the 29s would not fit, unless you don't mind a belt.

Still no email....I'm starting to lose confidence in them.
