@hoodog do you really like that color or is it because it's one of the only ones left in your size in the pop up sale? If you're looking at one of the other ones I may be able to help you find it for close to Kapital retail.


@thatboyo not a fan, don't really see how it's much different than a hoodie (besides texture) for most fits. I'd get a balaclava instead
Link to the pop up sale?

I really like the color? I have no idea about what sizes are left in the pop up. That's kind of an odd question tbh... Anyway, I am going to pass since I wouldn't be able wear that color as much as I would like because of the seasons where I live.

Out of the two you posted, get the silver one. But dont get it if you're "not generally a fan of skulls". Is it because it's the only styles left in your size in the pop up? 😉

Kapital's website, you'll need a proxy

I just meant that color isn't as versatile and would be harder to match than the other ones. Pretty much all the size 4s are sold out (for the non kesa ones at least) except for a couple colors.

I have friends who have lived in HK and are into Kapital and they passed on it for the reasons above.

I like the silver color way the best and would prefer the one with the tiger on it but that was released in 2021 and sold out. I'm fine with the skull but wasn't sure if it looked tacky or out of place on someone in their late 30s.

Not a fan of Vietnam War nostalgia, even if it's ironic. I don't mind military-influenced stuff in general. But just as I wouldn't wear clothes that referenced German WW2-uniforms, I wouldn't wear things that reference British uniforms from Malaya or Kenya, or things that reference America in Vietnam or Iraq, for example.

Is this in reference to the Kapital "Vietnam" camo bomber above? If so, then I agree.

Gloverall Monty Rust - opinions?
I can't decide whether I should get this one or go traditional and get navy or dark brown. I am a bit worried that rust is too associated with country colors and hence would be less versatile. Also worried about the saturation.

(This is not me by the way)

I own and love the Rising Sun Duck Ranch Hand jacket. Does it have too much overlap with the Filson Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser?
