Rag & Bone FW 09

Yea, i noticed that too. Sufu has that sales thread and there was always rag&bone involved for some reason. Obedient Sons was popular for that as well. I guess we don't have to worry about them anymore since obedient sons went bye bye

menswear was a let down, and i wanted to like it. =\\ womens rtw looks cute though (though i dont know if that matters on this forum), see the whole collection: http://www.style.com/fashionshows/co...F2009RTW-RBONE

Is it just me or do these coats all have a gradient color? I like that.

another boring collection

I wonder if this is what they wanted to do all along.

Man I'm dissappointed in this line, especially those pants, what the f**k. It's like bed sheets wrapped around the model's legs.

Anyway, Forward by Revolve has some of the new collection available now. The leather jackets look okay, but not sure on the rest at first glance.

Well, I guess they got off the Americana bandwagon, but....

Pre-ordering available at saks.com: http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/...mberOfItems=96

I'll probably grab one of these methinks. http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/...5662&ev19=1:19 Looks ok. I find Rag and Bone much more alluring with affiliate sales / discounts.

The way the collection was show on the runway and the way it was merchandised is totally different.
It was a beautiful collection.

Agreed on this, there are tons of pieces that look amazing so far.

heh chrono. I think I went to 3-4 sample sales in the span of 2 months that had rag and bone. It was weird.
They were all over the NY sample sale circuit. Given their higher price point, they probably had a lot of accounts cancel or scale back their orders. Or go out of business entirely. So they got stuck with extra stock. I bet that things are leaner for this season.

Agreed - I looked at Spring '09 last year and it was way more wearable and solid than it appeared in the runway pics. The designers have good taste and they're great supporters of US apparel production. I believe that they laid a lot of the foundation for the many independent, well-constructed menswear labels that we have now. I love this brand.

I've heard from several people in the retail industry that the Rag and Bone guys pissed off a lot of their big accounts last season.

Damnit, I was hoping the Grenson boots would return. I miss those so much.

really like this jacket.
