Martin + Osa?

shade449 · May 7, 2008

Anyone have any experience with this store/ brand? One just opened up near where I live and it seems pretty nice. From what I've read so far, it seems like the brand is supposed to be a higher end AF, which may sound bad but there's no mooses or eagles in sight.

all i know is that when i walked into the store it smelled like aromatic cedar, which was nice. their stuff remids me of an updated eddie bauer.

I was in one of their stores this past weekend and I asked about the concept for I had never heard of them before. The young lady I spoke with stated that it was a new concept store by American Eagle.
Apparently, Martin & Osa were explorers. They are building the brand on this theme but I found nothing compelling about clothing that lead me to feel it was expedition gear or would be used that way. However, it is the summer season and there is a glut of polo's, cargo shorts and flip flops to muddy the waters. Lets see how they bring on winter.
I don't give it a long term venture unless they really pull a rabbit out a hat.

Store exteriors are nice.

The store is meh over all. I do however have a pair of sweatpaints from the first season that are awesome. super thick, warm, and a great slimmish fit. I get compliments on them all the time. Imagine that . compliments on sweatpants.

Has anyone tried their button shirts? How's the fit?

It looks like it's AE's version of A&F.

Even though my gf is a manager for AE I still have a bit of a bias against martin and osa. I think they're a bit overpriced which just could be because of the AE stigma. I think they've got some nice basics. Last fall/winter I got a strong neoprep vibe from their line.

not overpriced anymore! 25% off all sale stuff + 20% off with this code 63299191 for 40% off... and free shipping!

tshirts are $6, with lots of sizes left, and alright colors, giving trendyblanks a run for their money!

except their tshirts fit really loose, boxy, and short.

Martin + Osa shoes

Surprisingly nicely styled. The oxfords look shoddy, but the boots look great, specifically the chukkas + the zip boots. I'm surprised at this level of styling at such a mall level brand and I wonder how they fare. No doubt they are probably of cheap quality, but I am guessing they could be snatched up for incredibly cheap sale prices (below $100) for sure.

Just curious if anyone had any experience or handled them in person. The zip boots look appealing and for a beater shoe that looks decent why not? I applaud Marting + Osa for taking this direction in decent footwear, but I haven't seen it in person. Up close in the detailed view the suede and leather look subpar, but what can you expect?

I was thinking about getting those boots too. There's a 30% coupon code floating around here on SF, so those particular boots will come out to $96 shipped. Did anyone order a pair?

Bam!ChairDance · Nov 19, 2008

They've got that jcrew spongebob sizing thing going on. One of the places where I'd need an extra small but probably wouldn't find one.
Those shoes do look pretty good, though

I inexplicably bought a windbreaker from their store for $39. I regret it slightly, but hell it was only $39.

The odd thing is, they carry Filson bags. They had the 257 in store last time.

I was there this weekend and they had a good sale going on. All sweaters were 50% off and all the sale items were an additional 40%. I purchased a couple of nice lambswool cardigans that I am very pleased with and the were like $25 each. My girlfriend got some great looking khakis for less than $20. Also I must mention that their customer service is superb and their stores are very impressive. I would definitely recommend you check out there selection if you are close to one of there stores.
