I still haven't seen his stuff in person. Are there going to be more places carrying the line this next year?

I have a Tim Hamilton sweater that I like. It fits me very well (longer than normal sleeves).

Thanks, but I've never heard of Tim Hamilton.

SoCal, What exactly do you do in the fashion industry?

You're obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

And while I'm not a fan of TB, I think it's great that you have kept him being discussed in SF.

Shop Jake has a few of his pieces (some of which are also on sale). I'm not sure if the prices are worth it for his stuff, but as I've mentioned I have no experience with his line and can't really pass judgment on it yet.

FYI, I was hosting those images in that thread and recently deleted them from my host so they won't show up. I'll put them back up if anyone wants them, but I think you should be able to find them other places online too.

I got back from the sale. If you're into Tim Hamilton, you should go, as there was a ton of stock and a pretty decent size run in most everything. Again, I stress, if you're into Tim Hamilton, i.e., you are familiar with all of his stuff, then go.

I was only familiar with what I'd browsed (but never tried on) at Bergdorf and seen in magazines, so I was really surprised at how everything fit, was constructed, etc. Heavy cotton jackets felt stiff and unwavering, so I passed (prices good though, all cotton jackets $100). Button-down shirts (most with BD collars) were $80 and looked worth the price, but I didn't need any. I bought a pair of light cotton pants that I really really really like (cheap too at $50) but don't fit too well, so I'm going to hold on to them to see if I shed the lbs and if not, I'll re-sell them here.

T-shirts too expensive at $50, ties ugly and felt like canvas at $30. Almost bought a black wafflish knit hoodie at $100 (with riri's) but passed because I don't really wear black (though the rust-ish zipper down the center almost contrasted enough).

Other good deals include the light wool sweaters at $60, almost bought one but it made me look strangely fat, but it was very soft. And then I think his cashmere is incredible, but I didn't want to drop $300 on what was an INCREDIBLE sweater, but too pricey. Polos $50 I think. Light-wool (again, supple and soft) cardigans for $60.

Again, tons of stock, definitely worth going if you know you like the label, but I agree with gentleman, the quality is pretty subpar for the prices. I'd put it above Steven Alan, but prices on some things are reaching $800 when I wouldn't drop two bills on it.



Oh, and no need to PM me -- I can't get back there, it's really far from me
