You'll love the shirts then.
We ship to the UK and the stuff goes out pretty quick from what I've seen (48hrs?). Can't say I know how long it actually takes to get there though.
Nice are those what you ended up going with instead of the Royalcast?

handsome gentlemen of this thread, anyone know where i can buy some slim fit sweats? i hate the average baggy shit everyone sells.
i found these from american apparel http://store.americanapparel.net/product/?productId=hvt450
but im wary of their quality since some tees and stuff i bought a while ago were crap. seem kind overpriced too

Damn, you work at Blue Owl? So when are the forest green selvedge going up on the site, I think I'm going to be grabbing a pair of those...
Not me. I went to the store to grab a pair of the pomegranate selvage, but they did not have my size. The indigo purchase was an impulse buy ;p
I looked around online, and seems like you guys - Blue Owl - are the only ones who have the pomegranate in my size. Will probably order it next week.

Thought about trying on those new N&F jeans at Nordstrom a few days ago so I could finally get an idea of what (if anything) $250 denim offers over my $40 Levi's, but naturally there were none close to my size. Bleah.
I also saw a Seattle-based fashion Tumblr dude in the store, which was weird, and he was apparently attending the Oscars last night. What a life.

I ended up grabbing some N&F Skinny Vintage Dungarees. I was going to grab some Skinny Royalcasts, but my size is sold out. Ah well, I'll probably grab a pair during Summer.

Sale jacket from J. Crew arrived. I'm starting to realize that I guess my style is more nautical/British countryside than anything lol.

I do but I'm like literally brand new there so I can't answer everything. I do know that we have some green selvedge right now, it just might not be on the site yet. Not sure if it's the forest green you're referring to but it's definitely green. I'll take another look when I'm in tomorrow and report back.
Whoops, you're right, that wasn't you. Regardless, that's great that you got the indigos. I own a pair of those and they've been great. Going on 3 years now with them and they're still in great condition.
The pomegranate are awesome. I've always wanted those I just don't have enough in my wardrobe to pair with them. They're great jeans though.
The biggest difference between $250 jeans and $40 jeans is the material and craftsmanship. That's not to say Levi's aren't good, they are, particularly for the price, but for $40 they generally use cheap cotton and poor stitching hence not lasting as long as something maybe with better materials and better work. Most $250 should last you at least 5 years if not longer depending on how hard you are on your denim. There aren't many $40 jeans that can say that.
I really like those Vintage Dungarees. I'd be getting those if I didn't already have my eye on some of the FW13 stuff.

Just FYI I have a few Isaora pieces (including sweats), and I'm not a fan...

The nice thing about summer is that generally fashion is pretty affordable. I mean you probably aren't buying wool blazers and 22oz denim like you would in the fall. It's mostly t-shirts, lightweight button ups, and shorts, which are generally relatively cheap.
At least that's how it goes for me until I start prepping for fall during the summer. So now that I think about it, I guess there's really no calm point.
You mean West Coast, yeah? The shop is in Seattle.
I haven't worn the Blue Owl x Momotaro collabs but I do have some hands on experience with them and they're a fantastic quality denim. Jay, the owner of Blue Owl, knows more about denim than anyone I've ever met (way more than most designers too) so it's only natural for his collaborations to reflect that. Plus, it's Momotaro, so you know it's going to be good.
Those are cool. I'm surprised there aren't more entirely black boots on the market.
Nope, east coast. Google suggestions showed blue owl NYC, but guess that's not the store. Too bad, would be cool. Guess I'll look for some good stores in NYC / Boston then.

Bummer, that would've been cool. Regardless, you shouldn't have a problem finding Momotaro in New York and/or Boston. Pretty sure there are a few NYC Manshion-GAF members that might be able to suggest a place or two to check out.
Enjoy your trip! Both New York and Boston are fantastic cities.

Alucrid would buy Rick Owens condoms if they made them.

Naked & Famous made condoms for awhile. Nothing like having sex in style.
Note: The condoms are not raw denim.

Ain't nothing raw about those condoms.
But wow I had no idea. They really like to do crazy stuff.

For a second, I thought that was Abed from Community.
Actually the arms are longer than they look (I just tried it on again).
They certainly look short in those 2 pictures though.

is this what he does now, pose for silly photos instead of designing shit?
The store near me e-mailed me that the N&F Selvedge Duck had arrived. I was very excited, as it looked awesome in the picture;
This is what it looks like in-person;
They aren't bad, but I wanted to be as bright as the picture. Already have a few pair of jeans/chinos in that color of the first picture..
Anyway..
Picked up two shirts instead. From a brand called - United Stock Dry Goods.
They look and feel absolutely incredible. Perfect fit too. Got a chambray and a light blue oxford. Materials from Japan and then stitched/made in U.S.A and Canada.

They're definitely darker than that first photo but I don't think the difference is that drastic. Regardless, if you're looking for something along the lines of the first photo you're better off searching for khaki and/or tan pants. I don't think there's anything that fits the bill from Naked & Famous at the moment color wise.
Also, United Stock Dry Goods is a very solid brand. They're a new brand (just over a year), which is why they're relatively unknown. All Japanese materials and the shirts you picked up would've been made in Canada. I'm looking at picking up a few of their gingham patterned ones in a few weeks I think.
EDIT: For some reason didn't see your part about Japanese materials and being made in Canada. So yeah, you get the idea. Good stuff.
