Just picked up the SS13 Richard Jacket and absolutely love it. Sleeves are a little long and wide though :(

same. just picked up the khaki tencel bomber and it's amazing but the sleeves are too long and wide. would slimming them a tad be feasible? it's not bad by any means but my forearms/wrists are skinny and my arms aren't that long.

On the bomber, possibly. On the Richard, no. That flatlock stitching is not going to come apart easily. Funny, because the arms on Geller stuff fits me perfectly.

That's because Fok stays steady doing those curls.


Lol. I do workout, but especially in the past six months, due to circumstances way beyond my control, I've got 15 lbs worth losing. But the length is perfect.

i work out too. the problem is all in the forearm, it fits perfect from the elbow up. my wrists and forearms are pretty skinny and arms not all that long at 5'8". it doesn't by any means look bad especially on a slouchy bomber. i'll post pics. different story for something like the richard though.

Yup everything fits fine until it gets to the wrist on my Richard. I'll probably just hem it or cuff it up.

Unfortunately, there will not be one. Most of the samples went back to Japan, and there were just 10 samples left in NYC, not enough to make it worthwhile. We will try in subsequent seasons though, and we have a fair bit left, at a discount, on the store, right now.

We will also be trying to do some presales of "best of" pieces, if the interest is there. Me, personally, I'd be really interested in the Himalayan jacket that @Synthese mentioned.

Definitely interested. Would grab both the Himalayan jacket and washed bomber if they were available again.

Would love to see the original monks from a couple seasons ago...love that beige suede pair.

Anyone handle this season's v-neck leather jacket? How's it fit? I'm wondering if it's worth taking a detour to Totokaelo to check it out.
