is it possible to buy the needles and/or nepenthes lookbooks anywhere? i need them on my coffee table.

@mitchellmcm27 Nepenthes NY always includes them in my shipments when I order from them. If you paid postage, they'd probably ship them to you.

Fit looks great to me for that sort of style/ shape. Definitely wouldn't have gone with a size down and I think a size up would have resulted in the shoulder seams siting too low, which might not have bothered you but would put me off.

Yep, I like it.

It's a puffy style and will look a little big on almost anyone. I say the sleeves and shoulders are spot on. Would like to see it zipped.

Congrats.

+1 Looks good.

Thanks a bunch guys! I needed that - it felt a bit weird because it didn't fit the traditional cropped bomber length/looked like online shop models were wearing it shorter. I think I was just being sensitive

Inventory has a number brands at 50-60% off (Needles, EG,Yaeca, Post O'alls, etc.).

They should call that Needles sale the "What-the-tags-say-we-*really*-should-have-charged-you-for-it sale".



Edit: just nabbed the black polka dot tab collar shirt I was eyeing all fall. After the currency exchange it's $135 to my door. Happy guy. Still one left in med and XL.

Indigo dye 7-cut flannels

Reggieshop has them (and eggplantjp, but they've sold out)

Stealing the link from the EG SS15 threat and posting here - http://www.nepenthes.co.jp/brands/2015ss/needles_mens.html

As I said over there, I think this is absolutely stellar!

Absolutely loving the Needles SS15 collection !!!

Guys, so I know Silver and Gold ship to the US no problem as I've used them before.

Anybody else have any good experience from this list of stockists from Japan?

Thanks!

I ordered directly from Reggieshop and Doo-bop, in addition to SaG. All three are easy to work with, all my communication was via email, payment via paypal.

I also ordered from Takanna but used a proxy (From Japan) and that also was an easy transaction.

Very cool. That's a great start. Thanks, Mike.

+1 for Reggie, though they wouldn't reply to my emails. Checked out via PayPal and received what I ordered, so can't complain.

I found a few more Japanese stockists but I can no longer edit the original post to add to the list, and have since forgotten them... have to dig through my internet history.

I really like SS15 and will have to restrain myself as I already have plenty of summer clothing and limited opportunities to wear it. I may go for some fatigue shorts though, at least.

Edit: and the mismatch sneakers if I can get my hands on a pair

Think I might be in the minority but beyond a few shirts I really prefer EG this season.

Also, I was speaking to one of the sales assistants in Goodhood about a month or so back as he was wearing a 7 cut flannel and he mentioned that they will be carrying Needles this season. Forgot to ask about EG but I'd been speaking to a girl on Instagram before that and she mentioned that she was going to try and get them to stock that too.

Does anyone know of any North American stockists carrying Rough and Tumble?
