I'm loving this whole collection, but these are some of my favorite pieces.
Grizzly - really well constructed. Buttons are very sturdy - feel like the designers may have learned their lesson from the sherpa trucker jacket last season. Those buttons were terrible. Fit is classic and true to size.
Cardigan - beautifully woven sweater that's a little more fitted than other styles. If you intend on layering with this piece, you may want to size up. The Scottish wool is amazing!
Sweater / Over Shirt - such an underrated piece in the collection. The color looks a little muted compared to the catalog and online images, but it's a really handsome garment that's very well constructed and the fabric is much softer than I expected. The buckle back jeans (bottom left) are also amazing!
Puffer Vest - love the color combination. The leather compliments the washed out teal very well - and it's only going to get better with age. Really glad to see that this has become a more consistent piece in fall/winter collections. Rocky Mountain Featherbed and Sugar Cane use to be the only resources for pieces like these. FYI, this year's vest runs a little smaller compared to a similar navy/suede style I have from a couple years ago.
Fringed Newsboy Jacket - I couldn't wait to check this piece out when it first appeared in the catalog. Unfortunately, it's pretty much identical to last year's jacket with the embroidery on the shoulder yoke and sleeves. It's a"newsboy" style jacket we've seen in a few different collections - nothing special. Unlike last year's piece, this leather feels more supple and it doesn't smell like it was treated with wax or a chemical. Would have liked to see this in a slightly longer buttoned car coat style with fringes on the sleeves.
Cheers!
