Jiberish Fall/Winter collection!!

I agree with this, so much of that is just dumb text and sayings witch equals do not want

example?

I hope so, then they won't end up in our smash and grab... but just watch, you'll see which items will be in the smash n grab in abundance.

Seriously? Level 1 track jacket, choppin wood, slate chambreezy, etc

yeah so far what i have seen (via their facebook) i dont LOVE really anything

They only things I'm digging is the black lohi, aztek and the one that just says jiberish, just because tree simple. But I want designs like the bird is the word and electric autumn

yeah they need to go back to their roots...as some hipster ass would say

or at least have a few designed specifically for skiers and snowboarders. i understand they want to change and get a broader fan base, but they should keep making at least a few things designed for the people that really helped them get started.

yea it really seems like they stopped designing cool hoodies and started throwing their logo on a blank canvas with some random ass quote on it

If only... *sigh*

It sort of seems like there are two sides to this:

I like a lot of jt, I might end up getting one of the puffy jackets and like a lohi. And based on people's reactions, I'll just wait until smash and grab to get a lot of it

.

every single tee is absolutely atrocious. i was in walmart today looking for tall tees and i saw many similar shirts. hoodies are okay, all the pushers look dope and the aztec stuff is pretty cool. vests are looking nice too. but where is the j crown? every piece has that stupid new logo. and someone already said it and maybe its coming in the next drop but every piece has just words, no designs on the whole piece like some of their older pieces that were soooo good. kind of disapointed in this preview but i guess if theyre going in the streetwear direction this is how its gonna be

threads

as far as i've seen they're at least different colors. so not really re-makes

not really seein what the allegedly recreated...

so is this equal to this:



cause the first one looks A LOT better imo

lighting

there's a huge difference though. I'm hoping it's a different color way

I dont think the color ways would be so similar though... I could be wrong though

maybe cant really know till someones buys it

The lighter one looks like a sample. It has no drawstrings

Pusher, from last season, shows up again in this drop more than once.

Btw plaid blue and white insulated flannel is my jam.

black shirts with a camo pocket? CLEARLY copied from UnBound Clothing

yea dude totally. or from the other 9237653 people in the clothing game putting different patterned pockets on t shirts

I love it.

this 4xl

this xl



i totally predicted either a camo or tan vest this year

>Posted picture of Aztec Hoodie on FB
>Shithead from home mountain emails Jiberish to pre-order
>Last time I do that

A "throwback" drop would be nice. The streetwear stuff is cool and will work well in Boston especially since 99.9 % of Bostonians have no idea who jiberish is YET. They are going to do real well there, but it would be lovely to see 10 hoodies of the "old style" dropped to satisfy and shut up the masses.

Jiberish is becoming more mature. NS's sense of style however, is not.

Mostly basic styled pieces in this drop, but usually delivery two contains the louder looking pieces along with the zip hoodies. The aztec hoodies look great and I like the pocket tees.

Drop 2 is always cash. Don't blow your money on something you don't absolutely love. Looking forward to the floral hoodie.

I like it, I wish I had more moneys for this stuff right now.

Will be getting the cyan "Hit the Trees" tee, and the mountainy, treey Jiberish Pullover.
Maybe the Lohi aztecy one after

*fuck pieces names

Everything that was plain was good, and every designed was pretty shitty imo. Not diggin this drop at all.

wow i'm not seeing anything i like. what happened to colors like green, purple and sky blue

this. They know what they're doing though.

say what?

one of their designers posted the graffic design of a floral hoodie to onstagram a while back. sorry im on mobile.

It's the exact same hoodie the white balance is just different and it makes it look like one is dark grey and one is dark blue. It's also why the tan in one picture looks MORE tan than in the first photo.

Not keen on getting any of this stuff for skiing. I would get the camo vest, but I already have two vests. I would certainly wear some of the sweatshirts for streetwear, but I'll wait until smash and grab.

I think I might grab a hoodie or the camo vest for skiing

Vault hoodie has got to be the cheesiest rip-off of the lohi. lol

Hey fellas,

I am gonna address a few questions and some comments to help clear up some stuff.  Since we did not make a video from the factory this year talking about this collection I am guessing some of you may find an explination of themes, pieces, and direction helpful.  Also, there is a lookbook video coming out similar to the type of video we did last Fall with Mike Clarke (the one that was featured on Hypebeast) and that should showcase some of the looks in a wearable environment.

As I always say when I try to contribute to these threads, I am not a regular poster on NS and never really have been.  I am a long time member though and as a skier myself I check in regularly.  You guys are great and we appreciate the passion you have for our brand, both for and against.

To the clothing.....

The preview we put up does not include all pieces.  It is some of the stuff that will be avialable in drop 1 and drop 2.  As we mentioned there will be additional pieces, collaborations, and accessories throughout the Fall.  But directionally we went a lot darker this season and with more wearable looks.  That is not us catering to anyone or anything.  That is just our personal taste and the brand's maturation that takes place from one year to the next.  What we wore in 2008 is just of less interest to us from a personal level.  Every season we come up with new designs and new inspiration and that is a reflection on our personal taste.  And every year we have had folks chime in that we "fell off" or that we "don't care about skiers" or that "last years stuff was better".  It is the nature of being in a creative field and trying to constantly push the proverbial envelope.  In the Fall of 2008 after reading everyone slam our stuff I remember thinking...  what if no one buys anything? 

We have never pandered or catered to anyone.  That is the truest definition of a sell-out in my opinion and we don't want to be a company that makes stuff because they think it what others want.  We make what we like and we are very happy that over the years our customer base has liked it too. 

There were 4 themes or buckets in the Fall/Winter range this year.  The first was the "Sons of St. Jiberish" and those pieces were inspired by 1830s-1860s New York.  There is a book called "Rogues Lexicon" which was a basis for most of the language and imagery we created.  It is a vocabulary dictionary of sorts of the era (really cool stuff for those who like to dork out on shit like this).  And the Movie "Gangs of New York" played a big part in this line too.  I toured the Lower East Side's famous Tenement Museum and we read as much as we could to understand this era which is one of the darkest and most violent in US history.  The gangs we created were fictional and all fit under the moniker "When the Hellhound Banner flies, lock your doors and cover your eyes".  That Hellhound was a representative of the devil and for one of the gangs we studied, when shit was about to go down the Irish immigrants would fly that flag of the dog warning people in the town.  Typography and design elements here are the strongest we have ever had as a brand, bar none.  Our designers executed on a level we've never had before.  Those who are in art school or studying design will recognize this.

The second bucket is the "Vote Early, Vote Often" collection which is modeled after fictional shady political elections of the 1950s.  The imagery and language here was inspired by the fact that 2012 is an election year and this Fall we will be voting in the next President of the US.  The typography and design here is specific of the era and the language is intentionally playful. 

The third bucket was more of our grown-man looks.  Sometimes you need clothing to wear on a daily basis.  These are pieces you can mix and match with multiple outfits and they are staples you can always go to.  Quality craftsmanship and thoughtful detail were the focus.  We wear this type of stuff more than the bolder items personally and we like the versatility.  We re-appropriated zip hoodies into jackets here and took the Pusher and Choppin Wood and introduced newer, more update versions of those pieces with different colors, fabrics, and notions.

The fourth bucket was a branded items and pattern exploration.  These are only defined by the season's color palate and logos.  As any artist or designer will tell you, it is much harder to design something that is clean, crisp, and complete than it is to toss a bunch of random stuff together.  Very few do the former as well as our guys.  I'd put them up against anyone.

Anyways, that is a little briefing on the thoughts behind the stuff.  The fit is slimmer than last year and we took the back of the sweatshirts up slightly so that they are flat on the bottom (they used to hang a few inches longer in previous years).  The button down shirts are amazing quality and the down jackets are the nicest pieces we have made.

Putting a collection together is a process that few will ever truly understand.  You have to love it because it is an insane amount of work.  Most of these items won't be fully appreciated until they are seen and touched though.  There is only so much a picture can convey.  Hope to see you at LoHi, Vault, or Armory this Fall.

Thx,

Pete

PS - Nyles, all of our store logos are surrounded by a circle, the new Armory one you will see soon is too.  Other than the circle, they have nothing in common with one another.  The type is 100% custom on each.

But it's made by the same company. How would it be a ripoff? I still don't understand all the jiberish jargon about lohi/vault locations. Can anyone explain this?

I guess rip-off is the wrong word to use. It's just boring and has no personality like the lohi has to come to have. like people don't say "wanna trade me your lohi hoodie?" they say "trade me your lohi". It'd sound pretty lame saying "trade me your vault" lol.
