@hayaoyamaneko
The second hand market has always seemed pretty scarce to me for older seasons though, where do you find most of it?

Probably same as you (though I have the advantage of being size 48, a more common size. Sometimes 50 if I can swing the oversize).

eBay (global search), Grailed, Rakuten, Yahoo Auctions, Vestiaire Collective, TheRealReal

Though I’ve been trying to find any and all more obscure resources I can lately. If anyone has some hot tips, I’m all ears

There are some nice pieces from time to time at Yahoo Auctions, it helps to search in Japanese (ルメール for Lemaire). Then you can use Zenmarket to be the proxy to purchase these for you. So far good experience. I see a lot of pieces before Lemaire’s rebrand when he still used the clover icon.

 

[gettoasty]

As an example, recently picked these pants up finally and what a nice hand on the wool and beautiful brown color. Zipper front! Winnar!

From the runway, first look I believe from FW17.

Yeah, I've looked through a lot of such auctions and have been wondering about some of those old logos. I wasn't really aware of Lemaire pre-branding change, but my understanding is that from at least the early aughts to 2014 all of the stuff was under the same branding/logo, just "Christophe Lemaire" with the clover in the middle

but specifically on Yahoo auctions and Japanese consignment stores pages on eBay and the like, you sometimes see old clothes just under Lemaire, stylized like "--LEMAIRE," with a clover at the end. Bad pics, but something like this

Maybe there's not much point in learning the details of the story but I've started to think that there must've been, at some point, a separate Japanese line, like Margaret Howell? Reading the tags on these, most of the later stuff under Christophe Lemaire is made in EU, and the earlier stuff mostly in France, but stuff under the latter name is always made in Japan. I did some digging last year to find if that really was the case, just to put it to rest, but never found any mentions of a Lemaire sub-brand or Japanese capsule or whatever.

?‍♂️

No worries, we had this discussion some months ago on the evolution of the Lemaire branding, around page 148 as of this time that you can check, and the latter images of the logo you posted was when his brand was mostly popular and made in Japan in the 90s, than in France. When he joined Lacoste, at some point, the brand went on hiatus, then after he relaunched it as Christophe Lemaire towards the end of his term, and once again with the clover icon designed by Yorgo&Co., then later on rebranded by Atelier Dyakova. It’s nice to see some details evolve and some still present in the details of his recent collections.

Oh, fantastic. Thanks. That settles it perfectly then. I'd never read about the agencies that did the branding. Yeah, I love seeing the older designs and details change and reappear through the years. This thread's the best.

The suede blouson is finally purchasable on the webstore, but they only have a 48

Blouson

This blouson is made from structured cow suede and takes its inspiration from classic trucker jackets. Its purposefully oversized proportions contrast with its classic trucker details, including two front flap patch pockets and a hidden snap front closing. Boxy fit Two front flap patch pockets...

They have some other new things up too. Workwear blouson, neck satchel things, brown studded belt (@gettoasty ).

Ssense added some new things last night too.

@OccultaVexillum https://www.lemaire.fr/collections/...lin-large-collar-shirt-lf353-blue-black-ah19m This though

 

[OccultaVexillum]

@gettoasty I ordered it a few days ago It's supposed to arrive next Monday.
I almost pre-ordered it because I thought it was raw denim but once they said it was poplin I decided not to. But that was before they made it with the big collar.

 

[OccultaVexillum]

I would be legitimately shocked if the sidezips are shell

For what it's worth all the stuff on the Lemaire site refers to them as "shell cordovan type". The slippers and desert boots are elk and the short boots are goat, so it is possible they are shell.

Nice to see Lemaire non-collab footwear making it to stores

Oh wow. Looks like matches made a ~$350 pricing error like you mentioned before.

Those pants are so good. Had them but the sizing ran a touch small. If anybody’s getting rid of those 2 pleats in a 52 let me know!

 

[OccultaVexillum]

Are they the rust 2 pleats?
If so, I have a pair of 52s I haven’t worn yet.
I’ll dig them out and let you know if I sell them.
