Once we ship those packages out, we never know what becomes of those precious pieces. Unlike our in-store customers who regularly frequent the shop wearing their Acrimony purchases, we don’t have the luxury of complimenting our online shoppers on how good they look. Unless you’re Joel. If he were to walk into the shop, we would have to praise him all the time. It would get old. So instead, we can just flip back to this blog post and envy his great sense of style from afar.

Spending some time at the Odyn Vovk studio is always a treat for me. Seeing the collection one on one, without the crowds and the mess of lookers by, puts everything into perfect perspective. I can see every detail and ask questions about construction and quality; something you can rarely do while visiting the shows. Check out the upcoming assortment from Odyn Vovk, Fall 2011.
Gitman Sisters Gray Chambray Shirt
Chambray is probably one of our favorite fabrics and it makes perfect sense for San Francisco: soft to the touch, plush enough to keep you warm, and a great balance between polished and rugged that means you can wear it with anything. And now ladies can get in on a fabric usually reserved for the guys in a beautiful “why-don’t-I-already-own-six-of-these?” shade of gray.
Unedited coverage from our “NY Correspondent” Devin…
Hey Jenny!
So I went to Odyn Vovk and saw Austin and Christine and snapped some photos with my fancy canon powershot SD1200 IS (my camera is so embarrassing!). Anyhoo let me give you a rundown:
Odyn Vovk SS2011 presentation was held in a warehouse in Chinatown off of Lafayette. After getting my drink on, I walked up a platform into the space where the show would be taking place. The scene was a living room gone awry, A dreamlike tornado of chairs. And a meat hook. Hung onto random pieces of furniture -as well as meat hook- were Austin’s SS2011 leather jackets, drop crotch pants, and one killer denim/leather combo jacket (see white chair at top of chair tornado). Visually I had no idea what to expect. Then came the models. Then my mind was blown. Check out the old man with headband, I’m not gonna lie, he was my favorite to look at. He looked like he’d have amazing stories to tell. Stories I’d like to listen to. Anyway I was also staring hard at a pair of drop crotch pants and a thick, denim-like button down shirt jacket. Boy’s wont be disappointed come Spring. :)
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.

Completely, thoroughly, utterly impressed by Austin’s new collection. We just received the Melton Wool Long Coat, the Green Wool Patch Jacket, the Terry Pullover and the 13 Loop Waxed Denim from the Odyn Vovk AW10 collection. The Melton Wool Coat is absolutely amazing. Long and slender, with definition and shape. It’s warm enough to sleep in, rad enough to travel to Antwerp in. $943
I’m obsessed with the punk influence of this jacket. It sits short, zips tight, has frayed edges, but looks like an expensive piece of work. $540
Similar to the OV Hoodie, this Terry Pullover has the slub on the outside, soft side on the reverse. The fit is slim and long, with slit pockets and a giant hood. $286
The denim really turned out amazing. This is Odyn Vovk’s signature 13-loop Japanese denim, with a wax coating. The finish is a bit shiny but will wear down quickly into the best waxed denim you’ve ever owned. $288
Yes, you have been waiting for these to come in. Yes, we have your size, but perhaps not for long. These aren’t even up on the webstore yet!
Gitman Brothers Vintage has delivered a beautiful Fall package filled with plaid flannels, thick oxfords and best of all, purple. When’s the last time you bought a purple oxford? Well now is the perfect time.

Hello People~
These Generic man shoes have been stomping around in my head for 2 weeks now. I’m obsessed with the cognac wingtip with Vibram sole. A bit chunky, a diversion from the super skinny/low profile oxfords that have been stealing the scene for so long. Slightly reminiscent of a Visvim shoe I was in love with (until someone started wearing it and it became my most hated shoe), wears a bit like a Red Wing but NOT A REDWING. Italian made, lightweight, pebbled leather and most of all, a refreshing style for the gentleman.
And then there’s him. More Vibram sole but with a thick canvas upper. One piece top panel, white trim, perfect for warm weather shorts and tee’s. Hopefully these will be sitting in our shop for you to see next Spring.
