I would say that NDG rising costs are because of growing popularity more than anything

From 2006, still my take on it. If you read the thread you'll see dodonggho (sp) saying he'd never wear a leather shirt in reference to my carpe leather shirt, he probably owns two by now. Jet also talks about coping CDiem boots and I know he did a couple (?) months later. You can also see how a lot of people weren't as desensitized about pricing as they now are (I call it reasonably priced for what is is and some reacted strongly against that).

For those who don't live in ny, you should try to find a proxy during sales seasons. (There are a few members who do nyc pick up for a fee on sufu). You can find some great deals at 70% and last seasons stocks. Last week, they have the nylon helmet bag from ss 08 on sales for $50. i went back today, they jacked up the price to $93. Also their lower level is awesome. a few weeks ago, they had common projects, p. ervell, boO on sales for 60%/70% off.

boO style is so preppie for work and hangout. the style is very NYC!

personally, i dont think they fit asians very well. theyre either too big or too small. the shirt sleeves are reallie long too. i like boO nevertheless!

They have a women's line, some of the jackets and shirts fit men well as they're meant as a sorta "girls dressing in boys clothes" line.

It doesn't have ****** prints all over the jackets. If it fits you well and you like the style why wouldn't you buy the women's line?

women's line is significantly more expensive then men's and is a totally different animal (pretty sure it was completely licensed out)
