18 East

[ppk]

Hmm ok I'll think about the undershirt. I agree that ppk's take on it looks great.

I've worn a mandarin collar shirt with my 90s armani suit before.

Mine wasn't stiff and/or hook button though. Mine was soft and unstructured.

This photo is posed with the collar, but normally I'd have one more button done up. I can see myself wearing the same kind of shirt with this 18E suit.

Earthier, tonal colours in soft linens with nehru or mandarin collars.

This a great combo.

If anyone has the reversible sling bag for sale, please let me know. My order was sadly cancelled as the warehouse team misplaced the stock and the studio is out of them. 🙏🏻

That's concerning, to say the last. My order hasn't been fulfilled yet, but I was told by CS that it should ship out "any day now". Hopefully it does!

Swung by the shop over the weekend on a family trip to the city, met Nam (not sure spelling). What a guy! Super nice, had a great chat. Tried on some things. Confirmed sizing for the things I have almost pulled the trigger on in the past. Fondled the glorious textiles. Did a short video with him on IG. I am unable to tag 18E which I assume is not personal but also maybe I've spammed them too much with my drop-1 turtleneck posts over the years 😄

This a great combo.

Thanks bro. I'm glad the Armani silhouette is back and is easily accessible nowadays.

I hope your order gets fulfilled. I was told the same thing prior to it being cancelled. I checked my order email and i placed it 9 mins after it dropped yet I was unable to get one. Find that incredulous.

Hey @NickPollica what is the fabric on this, poplin, Oxford, linen? New collar looks good.

That doesn't bode well for my order, considering I placed mine not long after you did. I'm starting to get the feeling that it may not be fulfilled after all.

It sounds like the warehouse team misplaced the entire stock of sling bags, which basically screws over everyone not fortunate enough to live in NYC/LA or anyone not lucky enough to have the foresight to order direct from the studio through customer support.

For the bags, I asked and was told I can't order direct from the Studio as they used studio stock to fulfill the website orders. So if I understand them correctly, you can't get it in store NYC/LA or through direct email order anymore.

I'm curious how "hype" these bags were because as I said I placed my order 9 minutes after it went live on the website and I was still not close enough in line to have my order fulfilled from studio stock. I experienced sell outs like this when I was younger and shopping supreme or sneakers but this was unexpected from a brand like 18East.

I wonder if the order fulfillment was based on first come first serve or some sort of lottery system. Either way, very unfortunate that the bags are in such short supply on top of being in such high demand.

not sure in this particular case but certain items have sold out within minute(s) (sometimes before the site is even live) the entire time 18E has been going

"We fulfilled ecomm orders from the studio in the order we got them so if we cancelled your order it means that people had ordered online before you" is the exact message I got.

Sounds like I'm not getting my bag then.

Trust me - there's nothing I'd like more than to sell you a bag. Our warehouse has misplaced the box from the previous shipment that had the bags and some other pieces in it. There's a good chance they'll find it and when they do we will reach out directly to make sure you can grab one. As I believe we said over email, we fulfilled the orders that we could in the order we received them in, but we had to do that with our studio stock and I believe we only ordered 5 for the studio. That's why we we're able to fulfill these.

Perfect, I have my fingers crossed and double crossed that the box is found and you guys reach out with some good news.

Did the blue stripe Sam shirt meet the same fate?
