@hoodog oh i was just kidding - I think people said they were "played" or something like that.

Ah, I thought that was what you meant. Personally, I don't give two ***** about wether some guys on SF thinks they're played out or whatever. I love the bandana stuff. That's enough for me. Ymmv of course.

I'd like to get me one of the reversible flannel jackets too, but last time I tried them on they were just too short. For some reason they were even shorter than the cotton gauze version.

I really, really, enjoy the jackets. Since it's a re-stock, what did you sell them for last time around?

 

[shopcanoeclub]

@hoodog Me either. When I first started unpacking them, I had thought initially that they seemed a bit more cropped than the gauze version, too. Luckily the flannel is pretty lightweight and has some give, so should be cool as a layering piece.

@dangerous I feel like many of the jackets from the OG shipment last year went to some other Kapital SFers. Retail on the Chino x BOA Fleece Nordic Anoraks is $645.

Just got 9 boxes delivered... will post up here!

Looks like some of the new Kapital is getting published and is online now. Hit me up for measurements, etc. Might put together a kit for the fun of it.

@canoeclub, is it advisable to size up on the flannel bandana jacket? Can you provide measurements on size 3 & 4? Thanks.

 

[shopcanoeclub]

@dino09 I personally would if you want to have a bit more of a relaxed fit. They definitely run a little slim. Measurements are as follows...:

3:
pit to pit - 22.5"
sleeves - 23.5"
shoulders - 19.5"
length - 22"

4:
pit to pit - 23"
sleeves - 24.75"
shoulders - 20"
length - 23"

Anybody know if the Boro truckers are gone for good or coming back? Now that I'm ready to purchase one, I was holding out for a blanket lined which I haven't seen in ages but even the more recent version isn't in stock through the Kapital site or at any stockists from what I can find.

I saw em in Kyoto, Osaka, and Nagoya only a handful of weeks ago so they are around. I'd be surprised if they aren't for sale still at store, so I wonder why it's not stocked online. I guess they probably have different stocks. You are gonna have to find someone to go pick it up for you.

Just went through Zenmarket to order a brushed cotton ring coat and sarouel nouvelle pants. I'm a 33" natural waist, 39" chest, so I went with size 2 for both. Hope the sizing works out, this is exciting.

Nice pickups. Not quite sure how stretchy the Nouvelle pants are, but the last listing for a size 2 had the waist at 77 cm/30 inches or so. Hope that works out.

As an aside, would anyone be familiar with the changes to Kap's labels over time? Not sure if significant but am curious to know if the white vs black labels are used interchangeably or meant to identify specific lines (the white tags seem older?).

Would also be interested to see when did they change from the larger "Kapital & Capital Made by Zipang" and "Hand made in Zipang Island" stuff (the later seemed to have a stamped label too?).

Dammit, not sure. On the website it says 88 cm for the waist for size 2.
