The Needles / Nepenthes Discussion Thread - Rebuild, Rough and Tumble, South2West8, Sonic Lab, etc.

Fresh drops on the Nepenthes Japan online store (Needles and EG).

I think both collections are fantastic. EG Ss15 has a strong inspiration behind it and is really cohesive. Needles on the other hand is more an eclectic mix of individually interesting items.

The thing that tripped me up was add funds and then the holding period – that along with not realizing you pay for shipping as a separate charge. Pretty sure I figured it out, though.

Being trapped inside by the Boston snow made it feel like a good day to bust out the fur piping track jacket and pants combo.

Now I just need a squash blossom necklace to make the hippie-gangster connection complete.

You missed our meet-up last weekend dude! Let's grab a beer sometime and talk Nepenthes.

Anyone know if the patchwork/frayed front white shirts are available anywhere yet?

A bit off-topic: was browsing S&G and came across this A Vontade mac.

Anybody have any experience? Really digging it. Like a Harnden-EG hybrid.

Edit: took the plunge. Gotta be a great piece. Will report back with my findings in a few.

I've only seen the ladies (long dress) version so far. Geek has an older season one (size s).


@AlexanderTG A Vontade does some interesting looking stuff. Will be interested to hear your impressions! (Don't know of anyone on SF who's tried the brand before).

Haven't seen it released anywhere yet. In the lookbook its called the 'over dyed zig-zag stitch chore coat' if that's helpful for googling / asking Nepenthes NY

@Lorcan7 Looking forward to it. They have some very nice looking stuff.

kopped some victory sneakers, mainly like that it's a good NB colorway without the NB logo.

A Vontade looks very Arpenteur/ Officine Generale/ French Trotters to me. I thought it actually was a French brand. I like some of the blue jackets/ blazers and the the black jacket that you linked to, Alex. Rest is a bit meh

 

[Lorcan7]

At risk of derailing my own thread further (oops) I would say A Vontade is an odd one to me.

On the one hand their bread and butter seems to be francophone workwear / tailoring, the kind of thing you imagine is aimed at the Japanese dudes who love Yaeca and Paraboot michael shoes. Some similarities to Orslow too with the military + denim basics. On the other hand there are pieces that lean towards being a bit wrinklier, and longer and slimmer in the sleeve. Like the collarless leather rider jackets they did a while back (which looked pretty excellent), they were almost more like something KK Attachment or Jun Hashimoto would do. And that mac, which has a whiff of Harnden to it, as Alex said. I feel like its a brand that pushes / pulls in quite a few different directions without quite nailing any of them, but nevertheless comes up with the odd great looking piece.
