Picked up a Nuur shirt from Yoox...it rocks!
Thanks for the recommendation! :]

Bump!

If you like APC, BoO, and MMM, you'll suddenly love Yohji!

 

[pickpackpockpuck]

^Hah. Pretty funny. Though I think the size of the Yohji contingent is slightly overestimated. I don't think most of the people on the board are going to be rushing to buy hakama pants anytime soon.

Supreme, Goodenough, Headporter, Fragment, Visvim, Hysteric Glamour

Don't know that market very well so I am stating the obvious...

 

[Spatlese]

^^ Those, and Sophnet, Uniform Experiment, OF....pretty much the whole lineup at a place like Haven may be to your liking.

 

[Addahn]

Supreme is cool, so is Uniform experiment. Visvim is amazing I got this full lamb leather varsity from them, wore it drunk last weekend and made a tiny rip at the shoulder
Those brands seem to be assosiated with the japanese streetware scene but arent really "like" them. I guess Im asking for brands with a simmilar biker/preppy/english/military/americana type mash up.

If you like Needles, you will probably like Monitaly. Yuki is getting crazy with his wool bomber (hard to describe except to say that it is like a bulkier 5 zip, with a shawl collar). The first year I saw it, it was in a light grey wool with a scarlet lining. Then, it was grey wool with a leopard lining. This coming FW, the dude did it in camo in different colors. There are pants to match. I could wear one, but not with the other. Pretty sure that Yuki could pull off the whole thing.

Of you like Post O'alls, you'll probably like Bleu de Paname.

if you like down jackets, and have $3500 or so to spare, you will like Brunello Cucinelli's version, which is tremendous, and also tremendously expensive.
