    Thank you guys. Oh yes i remember visiting atrium during my last stay in NYC. I was surprised a shop could carry Taralis and Yohji as well as Zanerobe(no wonder Wooster left). I remember the hypebeasts very well and they were all going towards that kith sneaker shop in the back. I also saw some D Gnak by Kang D for the first time there. Not particularly fond of the brand but i'd like to hear people's thoughts on it.

      My thoughts are that Atrium should be burned to the ground and then we could all do a tribal dance on its ashes.

            I just want one nice, simple leather jacket, but that seems so hard to find...

            The only jacket that keeps coming back to me is the mmm 5 zip, but I hear quality was never good, and now worst.

              Where did you hear that? Margiela quality used to be as good as any. But I haven't liked the 5zip in years, as soon as they started cutting corners by putting a different zipper in. I mean, how do you mess with the very detail that makes the entire jacket what it is...

                From various people who check it out. I hear about how thin the calf leather is, and the sleeve lining coming apart. I know, I know, can't believe everything people say, especially over the internet. I can't help but to wonder though, just how true are those comments about it.
                What exactly was the original two way zipper put in?

                *crossing fingers that F/W 14-15 brings something I'll actually buy*

                  ill never understand why boris hoodies are so popular if you look at them from a functional standpoint. i've had several iterations of the gloved ninja hoodie and although i loved the way they looked i found myself parting with them one after the next because it didnt function as a hoodie at all. when i'd put the hood up and didnt feel like looking a full on ninja i'd have a chunky metal zipper clanging against my face. i wish he'd make an iteration that didnt have that problem or at least had a larger hood where the zipper wouldnt be so cumbersome.

                    I actually agree with this... owning pieces dating from 2008/2009 I had the same with his hoodies, currently wearing the SS13 version, he has balaclava's though..maybe that could be something a hoodie combined with a balaclava all in 1. then we could do a riot without having a zipper against our face and won't get stuck in my mustache.

                      Maybe the Cardigan works better?

                        Never owned a cardigan actually.. so can't tell, but to edit my previous post I don't find the zip on the ''ninja'' hoodies a problem or something necessarily to be changed, I am ok with how they're now.

                          Get an 11 hoodie and problem solved. They`re good quality and have a similar fit. The hood is huge, very assasins creed like.

                            ^On a related note, I hate, hate, hate how he gloves everything, hoodies, jackets, sweaters. So dumb. Reminds me of HS when the emo kids cut holes in their hoodies to put their thumb through.

                                /\ lol.

                                I love the fingerless gloved effect on the perforated hoodie from SS13 I own. It's a detail that adds just a bit more character. And if I don't feel like using it, I just flip the cuffs up and they sit snug against the sleeve. And I have no problem with the zipper because he changed from the chunky ones to the riri.
