FYI, Beams did an Inis Meain crewneck Corran Cam a year or two ago, only place I've seen it, but it's something they can clearly run.I realize I'm a little late to this party, but I wanted to add my 2 cents.
Overall, I think you guys always pick the best stuff out of the collections. There's many times I check out other items designers have available and I rarely find anything interesting outside of your picks.
I appreciate almost everything from Japanese designers and I liked the assortment you had available. My interest here is a combination of the Japanese aesthetic and the fit. As a guy on the slim end of the spectrum, the Japanese stuff just tends to fit better and it's nice to have that.
I really liked all of the Ikiji stuff, I cant wait to see what you have available for future seasons.
Document was another favorite of mine this season, the Belted Jacket in Green Italian Whipcord I picked up is amazing. I think it's probably my favorite pick of the season. I think your Document collection was a good example of you picking out all of the absolutely best pieces they had available.
The GRP knits were great, the mock neck in Ecru alpaca mix was extra special. I've been searching for a while for a sweater like that. It would be great in other colors.
LEJ is really cool, I really appreciate the fabrics and style. The cost is high and Im sure a barrier to some (myself included) but I just keep coming back to Luke's pieces. They really grab my attention.
Informale had some really great pieces and I really like the line they toe with the casual formal. I've definitely got my eye on them as a designer. I'm a big fan of the Jungle Jacket, I'm really surprised there's so many sizes still in stock. I slept on the pants in my size and regret it, the fatigues and wool pants both looked really nice.
Doppia had alot of pieces that interested me. I will forever regret sleeping on the Aagro Polo in that tobacco color. The Aauro Patch Pocket Jackets and Aaresant Double Breasted suit were stand outs for me, the fabrics were unique and really interesting.
Inis Meain is a classic and I like their stuff but I wasn't terribly excited about this season. Nothing really caught my eye. I wish they would make their Corran Cam style in a crew neck, I think that would be a unique piece. Especially if it was offered in their Louth color, which I think is their best.
Rota is a mainstay, all of their trousers are great and you guys offer a great selection.
The William Lockie cardigans looked really nice and I hope to pick one up when my budget allows but I was surprised that a Camel color was not offered.
Yarmouth Oilskins jackets looked cool but I live in Southern California so they just dont really make sense for me. This is unfortunately true for alot of the heavy outwear you offer and it makes me sad because some of it is just beautiful (Balmacaans, KS Traveller, etc).
I really liked the idea of your 10th Anniversary Capsule even though few of the pieces spoke to me. I think it's really cool to have special exclusive pieces to NMWA.
Overall I think this season had alot of good stuff. I look forward to what the new seasons will bring!
