Lots of great takes here already, so I'm not sure how much more I can add.
Similar to a lot here, I'm 100% remote now, but still like to get dressed up even if I'm not going to be in any meetings that day. I work at a tech company as an engineer, so usual attire for most has been: t-shirts, jeans, hoodies, and Patagonia puffers. I've always wanted to dress up better and NMWA has provided me some really great pieces that a lot of people comment on when I used to go into the office. I started off as more CM focused, with sport coats and trousers, with the occasional tie. But as trends shifted, and mainly thanks to NMWA, my style shifted as well. I haven't yet made the jump into more unique fits that are outside of NWMA's area of expertise. Most of my closet has been replaced by things I've bought from NMWA, and as it fills, I've found myself buying fewer things but always grab a thing or two every few drops
Some random ramblings on your questions.
What should we stock less of / brand specific feedback?
As much as I love IM and other brands, I'm completely sweater-ed out and don't really feel the need to look at any sweaters unless they're an interesting and unique design (like PIxAC ones you carried 2 seasons ago).
For me, I've never been able to get into Kuon. They have some interesting pieces, but the prices just seem so high for me to justify it. I'm also not really into the tracksuit stuff, which I see more from Kuon.
The new cuts from Rota look amazing, but I don't often wear dress trousers as I WFH, and there are many other options to pick from for trousers that are cheaper (e.g. Stoffa, though their prices have been climbing pretty quickly) that I tend to only seriously look during sales.
Loved the Fujito knit tees but haven't really wanted much outside of that.
Agreed with others on having no more room for big coats, as well as warmer "winters" in the Bay Area has shortened the window in which I can wear big coats.
Agreed with Trayco on SdC. Seen a lot of the same with SdC, crumpled/wrinkled military inspired pieces. One of my first favorite purchase from NMWA was a pair of SdC deep pleated pants that was clean and crisp. The striped tee from SS was very good though.
What should we stock more of?
LEJ is a very unique brand and I'm very enticed by a lot that they do offer. I got the PJs set a while back and while I sold the top since it was a bit too snug, I constantly wear the bottoms. Their fabric options are fantastic.
Christian Kimber stuff is outstanding and would love to see more from him/them.
Maybe not more of but continue with the Document drops!
Monitaly has some very interesting silhouettes and designs that I hope you all continue to stock. I slept on the Submarine pants and regret it.
More IKIJI! Some seriously good stuff from them. The molded polos and the trousers I got this past year have been awesome.
