This is like the Hitlerjugend of NDG but flipped to am American look. I'm a huge fan of NDG and I love this. This model is slightly more muscular than me but I'm hoping those Mustard Utility Trousers are a tad on the slim side because I'm really liking how those look (top block at least).

Context is rad--their site is a real resource and they seem like great guys--but if I can support my local stores, I want to. Of course, there are always deals one can't pass up, but in general, those guys need all the support we can give them.

And yeah, the Apolis fit seems to vary, making the chance to try it on a nice feature for sure. I need to not sleep on the pants that drop for fall--assuming they make any w/ an inseam longer than 32"--

why dont we boycott them for strong arming our favorite retailer into forcing us to buy a $75 tote just to get a discount we used to all enjoy for free

last year apolis was on sale at revolve for 70%+ off and still didnt sell

I'd be surprised if it was any less than $300.

go for it. vote with your dollars. that's always the strongest vote of all. in fact, don't buy any of the brands that these retailers sell, in protest over not being able to get them at a discount, b/c even though you love them, you think they're overpriced.

i can't afford a lot of the SF-beloved brands, so I wait for sales at my local shops, pick stuff carefully and pony up, or see if choice finds in my size show up in B&S. but i don't ***** about not getting a discount that was always a privilege and not a right.

I got my Nomad Pullover from Brigade today and it's kick ass. The fit is great and the cotton cashmere is crazy soft. Thanks, Brigade!
