//JUST IN: Nom de Guerre Fall 2010

Nom de Guerre’s fall/winter collection has arrived and let us tell you — it was worth the wait. Fabrics are the real star, ranging from super-tough moleskin, to plush flannel, to cozy fleece, and tech-y cotton/nylon blends. Outerwear takes center stage with parkas, coats, and jackets of every possible sort. Get in here now while our stock lasts before you’re left out in the cold.

Elite Modular Parka, $572

Tap into your inner outdoorsman with this plush, fully-lined parka. With a zipper front and looped button placket, inset ribbed cuffs, and faux-fur lined hood, there’s no cold weather that you won’t be able to handle.

Split Tail Parka (without hood), $481

This jacket shows off Nom de Guerre’s razor-sharp tailoring: even a thick cotton moleskin has structured and shape. Buttoned flap pocketed, a removable hood, functional surgeon cuffs, and adjustable hem length make this the perfect balance of form and function.

Combat Field Jacket in olive, $416

Combat Field Jacket in black, $416

There’s fewer things more painful than the transition from fall to winter, but Nom de Guerre has you covered. This cotton M-65-style jacket features four front snap-buttoned pockets, a removable hood, and an internal drawstring for fit. A metal write in the jacket’s collar and around the outside edge of the hood makes for a structured fit that’ll keep your neck and face warm in the harshest wind.

Formal Officer Shirt in black camo and solid black (fabric details), $214

Our favorite officer shirt gets remade for fall with classic details (roll-up sleeves and two buttoned flap chest pockets) with taping details down the front and in great new fabrics.

Assault Vest with Hood in black camouflage and solid black, $338

Soft fleece and weather-resistant cotton come together for the ideal jacket to get you through those misty San Francisco days. Two flap front pockets and two handwarmer pockets make sure all your stuff is stored securely while cozy cotton fleece body lining, sleeves, and hood keep you warm and dry.

Elite Combat Shirt in olive and black (neck detail, fabric detail), $253

A more rugged alternative to our other Nom de Guerre shirt, the Elite Combat Shirt is perfect on its own or as a shirt jacket. Adjustable waist buttons for fit, removable throat gorget flap, hidden button front, and buttoned flap pockets.

Infantry Overcoat, $552

Thick, sturdy double-breasted overcoat with hidden zip front in a tough cotton. Removable self-fabric belt and center back vent. Super structured but with a comfy cotton lining.

Service Flannel Shirt in indigo and black, $247

You’re going to fall in love with this over-sized flannel shirt jacket at first touch. Plush, soft cotton outer with a quilted lining, two hidden waist pockets, and two buttoned flap chest pockets makes it both cozy and useful.

For the Dad Who Destroys His Jeans

If your dad isn’t the most conscientious person when it comes to clothing care (does he actually know where the care tag is?), there’s no reason why he can’t enjoy some great jeans. And with Nom de Guerre’s Classic Jean in a beautiful naturally-dyed indigo, he’ll be joining the ranks of men like Marlon Brando and James Dean who knew that all you ever really need to look good is a great pair of jeans.

For dads who aren’t in the know, Nom de Guerre only uses Japanese selvedge denim: a form of denim that has to be woven by hand on shuttle looms, that has no weak unfinished edge, and is nicer, tougher, and all around more interesting than the generic fabric that other methods produce. Dyed with real indigo (instead of synthetic dyes), these jeans can handle just about any abuse you can dish out and will fade beautifully over time. This means that about the time that dad finishes restoring that muscle car, his jeans will be just as good-looking.

mr officer

You need this shirt. We told you last Spring, and some of you listened. This time, don’t sleep! New Nom de Guerre Officer’s Shirt ($165) in 2 different plaids. Nom de Guerre has definitely made some positive changes to the sizing and pricing of this collection. The fits are more accurate in terms of “general” fits, so no guessing this time around. If you’re normally a medium, buy this shirt in a medium. It’s seriously the perfect Spring shirt. Put some color in your life.

It’s not even up on the site yet, come in to check it out or give us a brrrrrrrring.

Reposting…

Since the old blog went away, I’ve been missing some of my favorite posts. So every now and again they will resurge!

“Why Hello There Mr Cool”

If you’re walking around Hayes Valley and want to pop in to remind us how cool you are on an everyday basis, please feel free. Mr. Cool over here reminds us of the relevance of monochromatic pieces from head to toe, and the idea of non color as a color.

The first look, Cassette waxed cotton jacket, Endovanera henley, April 77 denim, AA scarf, Common Projects. Notice, no color, but looks oddly vibrant nonetheless.

Then we fell in love with the monochrome grey outfit he tried on in the shop: YMC henley, Nom de Guerre selvedge denim, Common Projects.

It’s pretty easy guys, keep up.
