honestly, jiberish what the heck?

$90 for the new ignant? wasn't the original like 76, and it was a more tech construction than this new one? and $90 for the most simple denim? and $400 jackets? have you completely forgot who your target audience is? the original wool jacket was 200 and I thought that was steep. If you're trying to bring in this new "streetwear" crowd with these jackets, they'd have to be morons to spend that much money on something so plain

this new drop doesn't suck, but the pricing and sheer thought for your customers doesn't seem to be there

Actually, many of their pieces are fairly cheap for the streetwear crowd. Although i do not agree with you about 'target audience' as Jiberish has made it clear that they are going the streetwear route, they do seem to be increasing prices which doesn't help us poor ski bums who loyally support the brand :/

We hear you.  If you are interested in some more insight, there are a couple of things to keep in mind...

This Ignant is significantly higher quality than any we have produced in the past.  More rugged fabric (the Burgundy one is made of 1000d Cordura for example) and nicer construction.  We've never made one at this level before.

The Varsity Jackets should be north of $500.  Comparable jackets are.  They are both made of calfskin leather, and in the case of the waxed cotton version, it is waxed and diamond plate stitched by hand.  Plain would be your opinion...we consider them clean, and very reasonable for the quality and style.  But if it is not something you are feeling we understand.  We really like it and that is why we made it.  They are pieces you can wear to a number of occasions and it goes with a wide range of combinations.  Our manufacturer said they the finest garments we have produced in 6 years of working with them.  For me personally, and I wear the waxed cotton version, I couldn't agree more.  The jacket looks and fits incredible.

Keep in mind that just because we are offering 2 pieces that are higher end, it does not mean we are forgetting about our core audience or our core beliefs.  It just means that we are offering a few more products outside of our traditional range.  It is part of a brand that is growing and expanding our offering.  We aren't going anywhere.

Regardless you are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, and while we will never pander to some demographic or base our designs on what we think people want, we know who we are and we will never forget that.  We have always made what we liked and we are thankful that so many others continue to back those decisions.  Not every piece we produce is going to appeal to everyone and that is something we are comfortable with.  I hope in our spring collection there are pieces you like and that you believe are priced more fairly. 

Thx for your input.

-Pete

Although I really like the new ignants, I'll be sticking with my red and purple. I would live to obtain both of them at some point though. Nice job on the new stuff, the whole lineup looks nice, and clean.

Jiberish hasn't forgotten their target audience. They want to make better clothes. God damn if I had the money I would have 2 of those jackets. They are trying to get big like supreme or undefeated. They will one day. They keep their designs minimalist and they core to streetware/skiing they will make it.

Good job Pete. So sick

whats the difference between some kid buys the vest for 76 then reselling it on here for around 90-120

why not just have jiberish cash in and cut down on the kids flipping their shit?

because not as many people would buy a $120 vest.

and even if they did buy them, the vests would still sell out eventually and in turn be flipped for more than the retail price.

If I had 100 bucks to blow, that Iggy would be mine. Maybe in a few months I can catch it secondhand before it becomes "og and rare" and shoots up to $300.

Does anyone know the sizing on the chinos? I'm guessing 30/30 32/32 34/34 or would all of the lengths be the same?

So stoked to get the camo iggy in 2x. and got my khaki cord pusher and zoom crew black in the mail today! The pusher looks awesome. Anyone who was wondering how it looks in person, you will be happy with it.

Im 5'9 and I went with the 2x. It's a half an inch bigger than the red iggy and I loved the fit of that one. So I would go either 2 or 3x. It will go about mid thigh or a little lower. 4x probably would go to your knees. For street go for medium or large obviously. Haha

I'm curious too. I'm hoping they are all the same length, because I wouldnt fit into any if they arnt considering I'm skinny and tall.

I went to the Armory store for the first time today, and it was awesome! Small, but nice and homely.

Anywho, the pusher's sleeves definitely short, I'm 5'10" 165 and a large was too small because of that.

I tried on a pair of the selvedge denim jeans, and they're a pretty slim fit, not skinny jean tight, but skinnier than my slim-straight American Eagle jeans. I normally wear a 32/32, so I tried on the 31 and they were really snug, but the guy repeatedly said they'd stretch perfectly.

I ended up just getting a 4xl maroon script hoodie, and when I tried it on I found that it had a j-crown on each sleeve, so it was a misprint so I kinda had to it haha. The last big hoodie I bought was from the 10/11 line, and their sizing is different. There's a little less ribbing, and my 4xl script is the same size as my 3xl dripset. And obviously there's no hang in the back, so that's probably why.

It seems like all jiberish stuff has arms that are too short. if the body fits, the sleeves dont, and vice versa. unless you get into skiing sizes in which case the sleeves are a good length considering the tallness

Yeah it's always been a taller fit, which has never been a problem for me. My medium red tangled from the 11/12 line fits perfectly. But the pusher's sleeves really are too short, they messed up the sizing. Cause it's the tall fit that a large should have but the sleeves are straight up too short.

Yeah i agree, I got an XL flannel and the sleeves are about the same length as my Large JCrew flannel (which hardly fits) but the torso on the Jiberish one is the same length as my 2XL Ignant from 10/11... Its just annoying.

I'm getting the maroon iggy, just wondering if I get a 2xl will it be good size for riding without looking like a goon in school (I'm 5'10").

you will probably look like a goon, Im 6'3" and I have a 2XL from 10/11 (which might even be slightly bigger) and I think its a little big on me for street wear, but not much. I still confidently wear it. Then again, it all depends on what you want. It covers my butt and then some just for reference. If you want pictures, pm me.

Is anyone else's 4xl hoodie really small? I'm just realizing my 4xl maroon script barely measures 30 inches from the neck.

they measure their lengths from the back collar to the bottom of the back. 4xl in the front usually measure to around 30-32

Yeah mines a lot shorter then I was expecting, but I'm sorta happy. If it would have been any bigger I'd be sending it back. I feel like this is part of the way they are slowly moving into the street wear brand... Soon enough there might not be a 4xl

This problem is 2 years running on the pusher, I have last year's and the sleeves are way short. Also some of last year's button shirts sleeves were too long and this year's button shirts ran tiny.

nope, nope, NOPE YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH. But I'm pretty sure Pete said they are going to stick to their roots so there will probably be a 4xl for a while.

Correct.  We don't offer it very often in Spring/Summer, but in Fall/Winter yes.  Just not on more lifestyle based items.
