Sweet.

We will have to talk about that, as I need some outerwear, a duffle bag and a messenger bag / laptop bag.

I've developed very...strong feelings for this. Fok, can you ballpark how much this might cost? Edit: Wait, is that the Officer's Coat? I knew it looked familiar.

Did they have any messenger / laptop bags on display?

The duffles are easy to find, the messenger, not so much.

I carry an Olive with black leather Siebel as my day-to-day bag. Oak carries the Siebel and also the Harland in black, online. Roden Gray represents Krane in Canada, so I am sure that Rob carries a good selection of Krane bags.

You mentioned that Holts carries Krane, but I do not see Krane listed on their website. Is this something pending for the future or is the Holts website just incorrect?

They had it FW08 - outerwear only. That's all that I know about that.

Ken tried to make FW09 a little more accessible, pricewise, than FW08, so I would expect a slight price drop from last year's retail.

Is it the identical coat or have there been some changes made?

Some changes have been made to all of the coats. A big difference in the price will come about because there will be less quilted elastic in the new outerwear, which was interesting and unique, but difficult to do, and labor intensive. The fit of the outerwear has also been tweaked for a more tailored, slimmer fit than last FW.

Slimmer fits, you say? That should be interesting, considering Krane outwear already had a pretty slim fit from what I've read.

Well, the Emory was made slimmer (see the interview) so that the casual piece had a more tailored look. Check out the FW09 lookbook on the site, btw. Really nice. Even though it is in the 90s outside, I want!
