Paul Harnden

In the UK there's Dover Street Market London men/women to add to the list.

[Faust]

LOL. It's as big of a mystery as Mr. Harnden himself. In the US it's IF in NYC men/women, Maxfield's in LA men/women, Cielo in SF. In Italy I think it's Degli Effetti in Rome and PNP in Florence, don't know the other ones. There's gotta be one in Milan, you'd think.

And Project 3.14 in Moscow!

so...does anyone have a current stockist list? who are the 3 in america and 5 in italy?

[MikeN]

Seems like the number of stockists is really going up lately. 3 in America now... I think Italy has 5 now, and maybe even more in Japan? Does anyone have a current stockist list?

Probably silly!

Ladies, FYI, Cielo in SF now stocks PH.

BSR, the norfolk is unvented for s/s13, as it was for f/w12.

Correct

you mean at l'eclaireur they don't call it the BLAZER NOUVEAU?

Not yet!

Indeed, a morphological connection, authenticity through bodies extended in space.

You need to learn a few terms though, wtf is a "straight lapel", is it a shawl lapel (col châle) or a notched/pointed lapel (revers crantés)?

fuck you i know these terms in french: the NEW blazer a des revers crantés (notched) et non pas en pointe (peaked) comme sur la plupart des vestes PH.

@ mike: i don't think i tried the long blazer, must have been the pocket, the norfolk and the unlined men's blazer, and all fitted very bad. i know what i am talking about, it must be 5 years that i try almost all the PH pieces that are available at l'E. i thought it was due to the lack of vent, but it's maybe just bad luck... i remember i tried on a pinstriped norfolk blazer last season (FW13) whose shoulders were not even symmetrical (the stitching was all over the place)

@ copacetic: too bad for this policy of yours, we just have to trust you

@faust: i don't know, some spring fabric are nice, like the hopscotch or another kinda dark gray prince of wales cotton in SS11 which was amazing too.

@eternal: i'm lost with the cuts... the styles are "pocket" (shorter version with visible pockets going below waist), "classic" (normal length), "modern" (same length but straight lapels instead of peak ones), and "long". norfolk is a recent addition, longer than the classic and shorter than the long, right? i don't know which styles i tried, but all the jackets i tried were without back vent and really awkward.

@copacetic: does it have a back vent?

In my book the great thing with PH is that it is very poorly executed and then there is a great variation among the pieces. most of them won't fit anybody properly but there are small miracles which happen sometimes: one piece that fits good out of the rack, and only on you, because the special flaws of its execution match the special flaws of your anatomy.

[surver]

sounds like the PH 'craze' is dwindling down...

[cjbreed]

ahh ok. thanks mike.

[MikeN]

mike (or someone) - i'm not a harnden expert but i keep hearing "new blazer" and "classic blazer" used and now also "modern blazer". whats the difference?

The only one of those that is an actual name of a jacket is the NEW BLAZER. When people refer to the "classic blazer" it's safe to assume they are actually talking about the MEN'S BLAZER. I've never heard of the "modern blazer" either so not sure what that is.

NEW BLAZER is single vented, with very high lapels. I personally love this cut, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people weren't into it because it doesn't show off the Harnden leather button-backs.
