Mike & Chris

[jakeee]

So I'm basically IN LOVE with this Mike & Chris jacket..and I know a lot of places in New York carry the brand.

My question is.. I'm going to New York in mid June..around the 16th. Will stores still carry a lot of stock at that time of year, or is it mostly clearance then?

I'd appreciate any info and/or opinions on the jacket! thanks

i just got the mike & chris conrad jacket...i adore it...
the leather is super soft and slouchy...

i think the mike & chris leather pieces are less likely to go on sale than the sweats...the styles seem more like they are permanent pieces...

i like that jacket alot jakeee...
the buttons are cool...
does it have a hood?

 

[jakeee]

thanks kimair. so do u think theres a good chance that the mike and chris leather jackets would still be in stock in stores in new york in mid june?

i NEED to have this jacket LOL

last year a lot of the mike and chris first season items were 40-50% off at the barneys in my city.

i think you should head right to barneys when you get here, jakeee.

I adore this jacket

It's priced around $900, right?

Okay, that jacket is sooo bad ***. You must get it. And the conrad!!! I just saw it in Barneys and NEED to have it. Of course, I also NEED the money to buy it, lol!

 

[jakeee]

^bah... i want the jacket soooo badly

sadly i just purchased a vera wang gown and a burberry trench..so it looks like its going to be a no-go :'(

do these jackets run really small? cause i normally wear an xs but there is a small available on ebay so i dunno if that would fit me better

 

[cutxpaste]

i tried on one of their jackets today. the sizing is so incredibly weird. i had to go up 2 sizes to a medium. i looooove the edward hoodie jacket, though i found one on ebay that i'm bidding on.

I recently got the Danny lambskin jacket for $169 at Barneys (originally $650+). I love all things Mike & Chris.

There is a new leather jacket from the upcoming season called the Nolan.
In a way it reminds me of the Balenciaga edition jacket that I missed out on and it's at a more platable price.
I love it and have already pre-ordered it!

Wow, PrincessImp, I wish the sleeves are less bulky!!! I am going to order!

 

[augustus]

Does Mike&Chris run small?

 

[PrincessImp.]

^For their cotton jackets they usually run small, but I have no experience with the leather jackets. so I ordered one in my usual size.
Can someone with a Mike and Chris leather jacket please advise?
I guess if it does run small, hopefully the sleeves will be more snug then, I always have a problem with the sleeves on my leather jackets being too loose for me.

that's a really nice jacket. great choice.

i've read that mike and chris run small.

^nice jacket princessimp.! where do you order? and what's the price on it?

 

[golightlygirl]

A few years ago, the boutique I worked in started carrying their leather jackets and they definitely ran small. Though, I think they aren't as tiny as they once were, as I purchased one this past summer and it seemed like the sizing was a little better/more suited to a person than a popsicle stick.

They are taking pre-orders on rarechic.com and it's USD$889.

Mike & Chris sizing is not consistent. Some things run small, run true to size, and run large. My leather jacket is true to size and I have the Danny leather jacket, but the Dickson leather jacket that I tried on runs small. My tops and jackets run true to size but my hoodies run large. I hope I helped some.

BTW, I just bought the Mike & Chris Kingston clutch and Baltazar heels. I can't wait to receive them.
