Pretty dope collection this year, I'm definitely tempted by the finn jacket. Thoughts on the direction?

Dope collection but very similar to last year.

Direction? Seems like they aren't going anywhere new with it. I like it.

One thing I noticed is the jackets are now 15k? Weird.

Also, the hoodies are too short.. XXL is only 31.5? That's lame.

Remember that a ski jacket has the collar and that's included in the top to bottom measurement. A hoodie doesn't have that. Hoodie may seem short when comparing to the jacket sizing but its two different fits. I can assure you the hoodies are pretty tall! I'm 5'11" wearing a large right now and it lands about mid thigh.

Do you guys measure differently from companies like Orage and Saga? Because the general consensus for a XXL hoodie seems to be about 34-36 inches.

I'm not trying to sound like a dick, just wanna figure it out because I was pretty devastated when I first saw the size chart lol

they added hoodies and a different style jacket to their line this year in multiple colorways. How is this not an onward and upward direction? (no pun intended)

1. They added a coaches jacket. Revolutionary.

2. The jackets are essentially the same from last year, other than colorways and slight detail differences.

3. That pun was obviously intended.. nobody just says onward and upward...

I'm a huge Bloom fan but I don't really think they are taking their brand in any new direction.

The pattern on the Giza hoodies are dope though.

See I think we read things differently. When OP said "thoughts on direction" I was thinking "what are your thoughts on Blooms Direction" which to me is moving forward and advancing their brand.

Also, the "no pun intended" was suppose to me sarcastic. Actually when someone says "no pun intended" they usually mean it was intended. Here is a perfect example how we as humans read things differently.

Lastly I think we agree on one thing though and that's the pattern on the hoodies.

Saga measures from top shoulder down to bottom hem. We measure from the base of the neck opening down to the bottom hem. So if you'd like to see where the hoodie will fall on you, take a tape measure, hold the begging of tape measure at the base of your neck, and see where the 31" mark falls on your legs.

I can assure you that our XXL is plenty big. It will be tall fit on someone who is 6'3". Hope that helps ya out man.

Shoutouts to all the gear wheres and yesmen of NS.

Try being critical of things around you, it's quite liberating.

Thanks for the reply Bloom, definitely grabbing one of the hoodies.

And Noha, check out the sizing of any riding hoodie made by saga, orage or virtika. Also check out the sizing chart of jiberish hoodies.

The biggest size being 31 inches is trippy when you consider the biggest jiberish, orage, saga hoodies are like 36.

(obviously I realize now that this is due to a difference in measuring)

Same old same old in every outerwear line. Can someone please do something different? Coaches jackets were cool three years ago

Looking really good! I have absolutely zero need for new inbounds outerwear this season but I'm still tempted to grab something.... Ski gear or camera gear, the never ending struggle...

Also, just a shout out, you guys do a pretty solid job with the snapchat and the fact that you interact with people on there (like me) makes me really want to buy your stuff, for no other reason than that.
