I think your coats will be fine TBH
Coats are more robust than you think
Or checkout the container store

Agreed especially when in a heavy wool. My dbf grandad just came out of the garment bag after 6mo or so and couldn’t tell.

Saw the Lookbook. Serious question, what was the thinking behind having only a woman wear/model all of the clothes? (don’t get me wrong, I love women)

I'm also interested in the reasoning but I don't think you need the reasoning to see the FW24 lookbook plays into NMWA's general bent towards clothes that emphasize silhouette, drape, and what-is-offbeat. It struck me as a great way to highlight what is feminine and a little bit transgressive in the NMWA stock.

Personally: I sat down every person in my household and made them look at the whole damn thing because I thought it was such an interesting and revealing choice (about both NMWA and about the specific pieces).

if you ever make extra long bags for coats it would be great. I tested the valstar redford and kaptain sunshine traveller in 38 and they get squished at the bottom of the bag

I have one of Kirby Allison’s long coat bags, really nice and well made. I have a kaptain sunshine Walker coat in it.

We've had a number of loyal female customers over the years, and increasingly so, and we've noticed the way they've styled our clothes on social media (Kiyana is a frequent fit poster for example: https://www.instagram.com/kiyanaknits/). So we thought: why not?

When I look at the fits that Willy styled for this look book, with a couple of exceptions (skirt, belted waist), I feel that the combinations of materials, colors, textures are genderless and give just the same inspiration and ideas as if they were on a male model.

Also created a surprising amount of engagement, especially from female followers, when @dieworkwear posted it on his Twitter account: https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1851298889388998988

Count me in as someone who loved the lookbook. (I feel like many fashionable women are wearing more and more menswear too. But agree most of the looks felt genderless and easy to imagine on me.)

anecdote: my wife (who has never bought a Nice Garment except second-hand and who is firmly femme in how she dresses) nearly bought the avocado green crewneck Inis Meain sweater from the lookbook. Sticker shock barely stopped her. Frankly I think she'll bite by Christmas.

Sounds like someone was given a pretty pretty pretty good holiday gift idea here... 😉

My wife has a good amount of nmwa in her closet due to me shrinking tops in the wash or being too optimistic on pants sizing and she wears them as much as any of her other items. In the modern wardrobe just about any mens item can be unisex.

Same, my wife borrows my clothes all the time. And she still complains that we wear different shoe sizes lol, otherwise my Aldens would be stolen as well.

I thought Aldens were meant to keep women away!
