Ndg style, quality, price

Those are rather ugly.

I'm a big NdG fan also.

Yeah, i can't say i'm really liking the colours used there. That green in particular looks off to me. Luckily, that is the Spring collab. Everything i have seen from this Fall's collaboration is in greys and black.

The red orange one might not be too terrible for those who want something edgy.. but at the price points these things will be at, pretty disappointing. (NDG and W&H are good enough on their own, stop collaborating

)

I now have the v-neck knit and it's amazing.

 

[Lachy]

Nice, what colour did you get? Post up some pics, please.

 

[Razele]

I'm about to order the v neck and crew neck in blue marl.

I'll post up pics when they arrive.

i was trying a half-sleeve shirt in the nyc store and the buttons basically fell off. tried another shirt and same thing. so i walked out giving the sales guy the shirts and a handfull of buttons..

 

[mellowfellow]

^ really? That's a shocker, most of their buttons are thick. I own like 5 shirts and never have a problem with their buttons falling off.

This is a problem with all non-lockstitched buttons. It's pretty much luck.

I got the oatmeal colour from Ryon. I didn't feel like waiting for the stock to arrive in the Sydney stores. It seems a bit softer than last year's knits, and is just as nicely constructed. Very happy with it.

 

[Lachy]

Sydney stores? What Sydney stores? Dare I ask what their markup is like?

 

[AGPi]

Sydney stores: both Incu stores (one in the conservative business dress, and the other in Paddington) and Our Spot, and possibly others.

 

[super]

the markup is rediciulous...

our spot when it used to be open sold a shirt for $400AU.

it retailed for 135 pounds.

i bought it on sale for 67 pounds - $140AUD

 

[Razele]

Yeah crazy prices.

Lachy it is better to go through known retailers as the prices are good.

has anyone purchased anything from F/W 2009 yet?

i like the khaki jacket. this:

i do notice the fur is polyester (fake). my guess is that fake fur is stronger and will last longer than real fur. how will this piece dry clean? i dont want to buy a one time wear dud that cant be dry cleaned.

someone from an earlier post mentioned that ndg quality is not all it's sound to be. after 3 seasons of experience...i think it's SO-SO!

lastly, this season's inspiration feels like WWII eastern front, the russian side.
