Bumping this since it looks like retailers have stock or will be getting stock soon + new stuff on main site.

It looks like CHCM dropped them? Gone from brand list. So that leaves just NMWA, Neighbour, and Goods?

As for F/W, personally like the S/S stripes better than current season. Plages are ok but will pass for FW since I have too much outerwear. May pick up a tie front next S/S assuming they do more tie fronts.

Does anyone have the red blouson in 36 from last year that they want to give up? I may pick up either green or blue from this season but think the red last year was better.
I think NMWA doesn't carry them anymore either. They're still listed as a seller but they haven't had new stock for a long while I believe

I like the new CUTTS but I'm unsure about this 4-season poplin. I wish I could handle it to know what the weight is

NMWA is still a stockist. Stuff went up yesterday for early access and will drop for all today on the site.

This might be my imagination, but I thought I saw a blouson type jacket last year from LEJ that was self-belted as opposed to a drawstring. It might have been at NMWA. Does anyone else remember this? They don't seem to have it this year.

It is living rent-free in my head and I'm obsessing over it.

Does anyone have any pictures of it?

You're not thinking of the plage coat? All the blousons have the drawstring and the plage coat is a belted chore type jacket.

that's got to be it, right? the plage coats aren't really outerwear weight, but the overalls (this season for instance) are

@ppk there was also a vest a few years ago with straps/belt which I guess is closer to blouson length wise

Separately, this knit is in AW22 look book and I wished it dropped. I actually emailed to ask at the time and they said it would drop but don’t think it ever did so maybe something went wrong with production.

Damn, that is a nice sweater. In the past LEJ has had sample/archive sales, where they sold sample items that never made it to production. Maybe it will appear there someday!

I must be combining the Plage Coat and/or the Overall It's a Jacket and the Blouson in my addled brain.

Regardless, damn - all of those items above are incredible! Thanks for the posts.
