Lol.

And anyways, I was saying that: you were describing WJK as 'basics with lots of nice outerwear'... which actually perfectly describes W+H this season.

+1 luls. w+h doesn't suit bb1 as well as wjk suits him, but for many it may be better, just in case they are taller and less skinny.

you're a sz.7 right ? can't buy that stuff if you don't PM me first, too hard to sell.

also, will answer all PMs first thing in the morning, too tired now.

So looking forward to that piece. Paypal ready, waiting for my PM.

The comparison between wjk and Wings+Horns is really stupid.

I really like Wings+Horns, but it is primarily a trend driven brand with considerably better construction, materials, and attention to detail than most brands in the same, mid-contemporary pricepoint. Go to a show like Capsule or any of the showrooms in NYC or LA specializing in men's contemporary, and it's pretty easy to see that Wings+Horns ranks in the top echelon of that category.

On the other hand, wjk is pretty much designer quality and prices. It's a derivative brand, but the quality is definitely there. I put it in the same category as Attachment. The designer worked with Carpe Diem for a while, and does unabashedly similar pieces, at high, but not astronomical, prices. Unfortunately, I've never found the size 3 and 4's that I'd need in that brand, otherwise I'd buy one of this MA+ aviator styled jackets.

You have the moneys for AK or Arcteryx, go big or go home

Arcteryx is ****, AK3L is shell.

I already have a 3ply gore shell for wet snow and it has airvantage. 15km/g bottoms / 10km/g tops is more than enough for cold days and I needed something well insulated which both of those are - it's going to be my "warm" suit. The prep suit is for days when there's no pow - it's pretty toasty and 10k, never been wet on one of those days anyway.

When you say arcteryx is **** what do you mean? I have never heard that opinion from anyone.
