Wow, End are all up on that fancy French garb hype. A whole bunch of Arpenteur just dropped and, as you dawgies already know, I fuck heavily with that fancy French garb. Arpenteur have produced some really cool looking jawns in the past and that continental coolness carries over into this here woolen mayenne jacket.
Shit looks incredible on the first product snap—those polygonal flap pockets look hella pretty and the subsequent squared off feel resonates cleanly all the way through to the perpendicular stitching placement. Every seam feels like it runs athwart to another and I'm all about that athwartic consistency in a garm. Is "athwartic" a word? I don't actually know. I'm just out here tryna be pretentious. If it is, it probably hasn't been used since the 18th century. Maybe throw it into a sentence now and again even if it's completely out of context. Nobody is gonna pull you up on that shit and, even if they do, you can just roll your eyes at them and loudly exclaim how much you hate ignorant people. Oh yeah, that's right, we're talking about a jacket. Sorry. There's even a cool little storm flap type thing instead of a regular top button. YOU KNOW STORM FLAPS ARE TIGHT. So yeah, it's clear a lot of love has gone into the finer detailing here. Props for that. If you're #cultured enough to drop $500 on this thing, consider pairing it with a long chambray shirt and and those dark brown FBTs you don't own.
