Classic outdoor detailed modern fashion wear. That's the concept of Nepenthes' other brand South2 West8 is and their lookbooks always underline it. For me it's more of a Fall brand so this collection is a little more exciting than their last. In some nice brown and natural tones mixed in with darker greys and blacks, the collection makes good use of wool. Many of the looks have a good texture about them without overbearing details. I'm really liking their camouflage pattern as well as the band collared shirt.

This reminds me of early EG stuff, when their were still radical, not as fashiony as they are today.

South2west8 lookbooks are the best.

Really? Terrible model, who looks especially nonplussed in that shot with the frock and baseball cap.

It blows my mind no one has picked up S2W8 to stock in the US. I can understand Needles overlapping with EG a bit too much, but with the recent boom in vintage mountaineering equipment you'd figure at least someone would have their stuff.
