nepenthes advising sizing up for spring jackets. Makes sense: SS designed for just a shirt underneath, thus smaller than FW which are designed to layer in.

probably. but it depends. just go by the measurements man, it's the only sure way.
fwiw, I wear an xs in uniqlo and baron wells shirts and a small bedford (from past seasons) fits perfect. like perfect perfect.


Thanks!

Who state-side is stocking the Fatigue shorts in Olive Sateen?
Inventory Stockroom just posted them at $200 plus $20 shipping.


Just got these in the mail today from Stuart & Wright. Nepenthes provided me the state-side stores carrying them.

$176 shipped

^nice. As good a price as I've seen on shorts this season and the olive sateen fatigues are by far my favorites.

Speaking of shorts, did anyone have a chance to wear the Desert and/or Cambridge short yet? They seem a bit hard to wear, given they're cut so narrow and have an awkward length - going slightly over the knee. I like the fabric and pocket details but the cut and fit remind me of those awful 2/3 cargos that you see at The Gap.

Or maybe I'm mistaken and they're great?

Those Context measurements are 110% wrong.

I guess their way of measuring is as weak as their SS12 buys.

There are so many good things from this season. It looks like they skimped.

i picked up the navy mini polka dot andover from context. sooo nice, love this piece and try to wear it whenever i can. the rest of their buy is kinda meh. they should have picked up the white/blue/pink tab collar floral. i got it from nepenthes ny and i think it's the best colorway of the ss12 florals.
