Nom De Guerre F/W 09/10

[constant struggle]

Thanks to souper for originally pointing out this was posted, he posted in s/s 09 then...

Really love this field jacket, will most likely pick it up.

This sweater is luxurious.

This peacoat is great as well.


I'll hopefully buy all three.

Like i said when I posted it in the f/s 09 thread

Its awesome, not much I could wear living in florida but I love just looking at it. Nom De Guerre are the masters of the oxford with tie paired with an outerwear. I really like the colors as usual. I adorn this label, my favorite.

Like the field jacket a lot. Don't get why they have all those collabs with wings and horns, but whatever.

A growing brand needs to seriously examine and correct all of its deficiencies. Their fleece pieces have always been their weakness, for a variety of reasons. On the other hand, Wings+Horns, if they know anything, know fleece. They could probably build a pretty cool fleece igloo if they put their mind to it. So the collaboration was natural. I saw that FW09 collaborative pieces, and they are really quite nice and definitely well made (though I like the Wings+Horns collection more.)

+1 Probably the brand I own the most of, other than uniqlo basics.

That said , I don't get the theme this time around. it has an outdoorsy, cold-weather mountaineering vibe but theres still a lot of formal military stuff. Cohesion be damned, the pieces are cool.

My top picks are: Waxed cotton down vest (!!!), NDG khakis (Finally!) and the greatcoat, in black.

This season is rumored to be expensive as hell, with the strength of the yen and all that. Those huge "winter wool" knits will probably be ~580 by my estimates. Hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, makes sense. I guess I'm just not thrilled that Wings and Horns would want one of their signature pieces/fabrics (the tiger fleece) to be with another brand as well, but it's spreading their name, so I understand. I also don't know what a collab entails in terms of production costs per party and such, so my opinion is not worth much.

read the newest issue of H(y)r collective, they discuss the theme there and its fuckin crazy/sweet. this is my favorite, its menacingly wild.

I saw all of the collaboration pieces, and there is no tiger fleece there.

I have a bullet belt. I am going to put it in B&S.

Apple bottom jeans, boots wif da fuurrr, the whole club was lookin' at Nom De GuerrRRrrre.

I like the individual pieces, the styling not so much. I could see mix and matching a few things. I wish they'd play with color more.

This collection does look amazing. The NDG pieces I own from this past fall are some of my favorite and most well made pieces I own.
