I think it's pretty awesome that they got Fruit of the Loom to make a special run tee for them in the US. Do they even make their own main line tees in the US? If so, then I take back my first sentence.

It's just heartbreaking to pay over $100 for it.

I really like the boots.

NDG x Club Monaco. Overpriced. Made in Japan doesn't justify the price points.

I never understood the appeal of NDG for it's price point.
The denim are nice but everything else just doesnt justify the price point it garners.
The only thing that I really really loved was the deconstructed flight jacket then later on something similar in that deck hoodie piece.

They've really been running away from their strengths for the past two or three seasons now, it seems like.

Word. I haven't seen much since that deconstructed flight jacket that looked really great. Most of it is eh, alright, but i'd rather spend the money elsewhere at retail. Is a relatively popular niche brand so it doesn't always reach sales either. One of those brands that at this point, i wouldn't be that disappointed if it just died off.

Don't get me wrong, some of the pieces are alright, and i liked most of the ss08 styling. Still...

Stopped by their NYC store today and was disappointed in pretty much all of their new stuff. Some of their older season stuff is still not moving even at 70% off...

Spring is usually decent, but fall/winter is always their strength.

 

[mellowfellow]

Their button down are one of the best fitting shirts. Give it a try.

 

[mulansauce]

They excel at fall/winter. Spring is usually meh.

I like their knits.

Yeah but they are crrrrrrraaaaaazzzzzzzy expensive.
Don't get me wrong, their outwear are usually on point, but for the price?!

People always complain about NdG prices, but I don't see any cheaper alternatives around with their aesthetic and fit. The quality always seems very good to my untrained eye.

Jeans at $250, wool knits at $350, outerwear generally around the $600-$800 range. A bit on the high side, but not unreasonable.

S/S is not all that exciting for me though. Not bad, but nothing spectacular.

edit: With a 10-20% discount, the prices a bit more affordable. Don't **** this up like EG, people.
