Is the Norbit three layer jacket water/weather/proof/resistant? Trying to parse the fabric details.
It’s wool, so likely fine in anything except a downpour or blizzard. Edit: and it looks like there is a goretex-like membrane.

guys - the norbit layer jacket in Moon tweeds is one of the best jackets we've carried in the store. Both Kenshawn and I got personal orders. Don't sleep
Are there plans to stock norbit for s/s 25? Was just looking over their catalogue and there's some really beautiful stuff--almost like if Earth/Studies and ts(s) did a collaboration.

Is there another delivery from Norbit or is this it for the season? Thanks!

That’s it for FW24. We had trousers on order but it looks like they may be cancelled.

We didn’t order anything for SS25. We haven’t had much success with technical fabrics for spring summer seasons in our store.

Question on the Okochi sweaters. A medium looks like the right size for me, but the sleeves look like they're on the short size and hem is borderline. I'm 6'1" for reference and like ~90cm sleeves
I'm also 6'1" with a similar arm length. I'm wearing a medium in these photos from a few pages back. I think you'd be fine.

I got my Okochi Meriyasu sweaters today, and they're as amazing as they look. I took a medium in both, and the ribbed crewneck is definitely on the chunkier side, but I think it's the right size. Also a bonus picture with my DBF Grandad coat.

I'm hoping the Okochi knits will be available in some warmer colours next FW 👍

I also just browsed the EU store - there's so much amazing stuff on sale in my size 😭. I wish I could order from the EU store as a canadian. Maybe Canada will get an honorary EU membership card if the whole tariff thing actually goes down... ha

Do you own pets? If yes: that black should be off the table. I love my OM basket weave but it's basically a giant pet fur brush. I'm glad every day I got mine in cream.

that's a great point that i didn't even consider. my partner and i have a black cat and man does she shed. i've also consulted counsel (my three sisters) and all have said red!

I just picked up the red and saw the black. The red is amazing. I am gravitating towards browns and greens these days and the red pairs better with those colors. If I had more blue-grey colors the black might work better.

Yep, found this also, that is why I was asking. If anyone can weigh in on the actual weather/water resistance that would be awesome.

NoMan team,
can you please compare the William Lockie chunky shawl cardigan to the S&C version? Are the two identical in cut/size, weight and style? They appear almost the same in pictures.
Also, I noticed that the W&L buttons are not attached with MoP buttons in the back like the S&C were? It's a small but nice detail on the S&C ones.
thanks!

Not a ton of info on the norbit site, but they list the wool outer and the poly tricot liner, and the "functional" layer is Cordura - which is water repellent, not to the level of gtx, but if there's a light rain you'd be fine.
