Yo that beige ma1 is fire, might have to order that.

 

[gdl203]

It's not an option for preorders.

 

[charliechan]

Is that trench fabric waterproof?

 

[gdl203]

It's water repellent but it isn't really a raincoat. The seams aren't taped either. It's fine for a light rain but not for a downpour

Damn. Any chance it gets made up for the rack later? Best thing I've seen in a while.

 

[gdl203]

Unclear yet. Valstar doesn't want us to offer it for pre-orders, which tells me they don't believe it will get produced based on demand/feedback.

We always want what we can't have, amirite?

 

[dotcomzzz]

Hard to tell if that Valstar would look better with a pen holder on the sleeve. P nice tho

Damn Greg you always saving me money lmao.

Style question guys! Love the Formosa "summer tweed" preorder. What are your top picks for trousers from the Rota preorder to wear with it?

 

[Mr. Six]

^ The green w/s/l and dark grey fresco. The white garment-dyed cotton-linen or stone if that's an option.

 

[gdl203]

White pants and blue shirt FTW

Stephan Schneider SS2018: FOAMALITIES
​

For next spring/summer, Stephan Schneider took his inspiration from foam. All kinds of foam!

We decided to have as much fun with this as he did, and this season's pre-order is all about paring things down into a few core styles, all available in the same selection of our favorite fabrics.

We're offering three styles of shirt: the classic plain collar button-up, the short sleeve with button-down collar, and our favorite (don't laugh!) the polo.

Spoiler: Stephan's Illustrations

Shirt Foam


Shirt Sponge


Polo Bubble


The fabrics include lightweight cotton poplins in the signature foamy mcfoamface colors that took the most direct inspiration from the collection: a pale yellow, a pale pink, a pale mint green, and (you guessed it) a pale blue.





The other options don't necessarily have as much to do with the theme of the collection, they just happen to be beautiful fabrics in their own right. There is a very cheery sherbet plaid (as I'm calling it), and two beautiful linen hopsacks: one a navy and white broken houndstooth, and the other a fine stripe in beiges and browns. My advice? The polo in the navy and white, and the long sleeve in the stripes.






So I mentioned it was going to be simple, but how simple?

If my only SS shirt effort did not work out well in my general sweater/outerwear size of 5, do you think I'm safe sizing up to a 6 for the polo?

 

[OccultaVexillum]

@conceptual 4est what was the shirt you were wearing in the showroom?
And is it really that "spongey" or does it have some movement and drape irl?

Edit: sorry if that is super vague, it's on instagram when you took your bi-annual photo with the man

Most of our customers wear one size larger in SS shirts than in knitwear and outerwear, but I unfortunately don't have measurements for these. The long sleeve shirt will be comparable to other long sleeve shirts we've had in the past though, FWIW

No, I know just the picture you mean. That fabric is a double-faced bonded cotton, that because of the nature of the way they put the two cotton fabrics together it gets almost a neoprene like quality to it. It's spongy (like foam!) but it does make for a few cool shirt. Ultimately, it's just a bit too hard to express what makes it special over a computer screen relative to the cost (very expensive) to offer it in the pre-order. This one is all about keeping it simple with some great, easy-wearing fabrics and shapes.
