18 East

Welcome! That nylon Kurta is from 2 summers ago I believe, but there's normally a Kurta or two every summer and there have been a few different iterations over the years. I don't remember there ever being Kurta's being included as a set with pajama bottoms though.

IMO the fabrics are one of the strengths of the brand, and there tend to be quite a few printed and embroidered shirts in the summer drops. The linen shirts are fantastic as well.

Awesome, I'll keep a watch on this thread then, this gives me something to look forward to.

LTTP for 18East, but I'm intrigued by this brand.

I've had family visit India and have had access to indian fabrics, but the designs and cuts always suck and are too slim.

I found this one pretty cool, and seems to be right up my alley. Full nylon though, wouldn't that be sticky and sweaty?

AKC2 KURTA - SILVER TRILOBAL NYLON

A DWR-coated nylon kurta, with snaps for goodness sake. Matching convertible trek pants coming later this month for the full "cult of climbing" vibe. Proudly made in India from water-resistant trilobal nylon. These run true to size but, like most things, look better when you size up. Ravi is 6'...

Are full kurta pyjama sets sold often? If so, when do those drop?

How about printed or embroidered shirts for summer? This one seems cool, but it also sold out.

I tried on that nylon kurta before and it was light and felt cool to the touch, I don't think it'd be sticky or sweaty but I didn't keep it. That was the only kurta that had matching pants though it was the zip off trek (climbing) pants and not pajama pants.

The brand had full pajama sets with a traditional pajama shirt and pants (no kurta) in the early drops but that was discontinued entirely because it didn't sell well. I'm sad I gained weight and no longer fit mine.

I think the only embroidered shirt was the kantha stitch ones and there have been block printed and some other printed shirts.

Also biggest surprise is how slept on the Mater jacket in the wool blend boucle has been. Without a doubt my favorite thing from the drop. Weight/wear wise its the prefect transitional outerwear piece. It's light and open but textural and warm. I've worn the sample a ton since it came in.

being a bit smaller than the usual 18e outerwear was the thing for me that made me hesitate. decided to grab one anyone and hoping I'll like the fit!

The faux fleece Mater also measured smaller than I expected on the charts, but it fits perfect in my regular size.

Shelter pants just arrived and the fit is great. I had an earlier iteration and they tapered a little too much. Not sure if it was just that pair or what, but these fit perfectly.

@NickPollica - you sure we can't get these in an undyed version?

earlier iteration? This is the first time we’ve ever run this style.

Oh right my bad. I was thinking the philo pants maybe.

Regardless these are great.

Some sneak peeks in Antonio's Insta story at the moment. Those army-colored single pleats though 😍

Anyone with experience with the black indigo claireditch shirt know if it shrinks with wash?

 

[bleepbloop]

Strange question but anyone know where I can get the red/green/white/yellow/blue string that is used on the hangtags?

Nothing noticeable with a cold wash and air dry. The shirt is great btw, the fit is one of my favorites so far.

i gotta say, core collection set-up type pieces is really cool and appreciated. it may be showing me as basic but i really do gravitate towards this stuff.

definitely picking up the green set

Damn, that's unfortunate. Maybe too ethnic looking for western audiences, but that'd be right up my alley.

Man, these look so good!

Excited to see what the denim stuff looks like too.
