Late to the showcase party but it's all good i'm sure

heard time jackets have sizes this season

what size time jacket should I get if I like how the old one fit?

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Medium. Which means I might start buying large.

That said the M of the batik dyed jackets are smaller than the rest because they've been boiled, dyed (around 8 times), then boiled again.

I imagine LNCC will have some measurements (and they'll be live before we are ready to go with the new store).

[mc-lunar]

tell ln-cc to sort out how they want to capitalize "story mfg"

[WussWayne]

Is the webshop going to have price hikes to reflect the prices among your other stockists?

[bels]

Wearing my TRF shoes today. They're really nice. They look like a derby so I was expecting them to wear like a doc marten or standard northampt derby, but because the sole is so light and they're unlined, it feels much more like a pair of worn in vans. Really comfy and and an absolutely spot on shape.

Think Bobbin said they're a big pain to get made, so don't sleep on them.

Without targeted advertising i am nothing

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Never thought I'd see the day when my own brand was advertised to me.

Anyway! Happy day. Despite the fact I've seen people hate on the styling I think it's excellent to see another stylists take. It's not like theyve forced them into a bad outfit - I love it! Think there's more editorial and images to come.

Until then, here's a lookbook we shot a few months ago when we went out on the boat with our friends Farid (also in ss16 lookbook) and Charles (Slow Club).

Prices on our own site will be the same. We worked hard to have them where they are. If you're going to buy LNCC is the best shout and would be nice to give them the business after the support they gave us to launch and sell the items at a much lower margin than is usual.

Positivity!

Wow yeah, just got the LNCC newsletter and saw the news. Congrats guys.

just wanted to drop in and say that I love the jeans with the white bands on the legs. Look great with the blue/white canvas sneakers. Keep up the good work!

"Non title" doesn't make any sense in any context.

[can-]

the title is, that there is no title. it's "not a title"-- the title is that there is no title. there's no title, kind of.

should i explain death of the author to you again??

[bels]

In that case why not call it:

"no tidal"

Which would make sense

"titled 'no title'"

If anyone can use "non title" in a sentence and show it to an English teacher and get it signed as "OK" I will send them a prize.

[can-]

(speaking to an english teacher) "I call my sophomore collection.. "Non-Tidal." It means "the title of my collection, is that there is no title-- it is "non-title." It's a cheeky double entendre, playing on preexisting nautical themes and other plays-on-words, like the "Time" Jacket, which is both a pun, in 'Story Time,' and also a reference to its prison origins ("Doing Time)." It also refers to the passage of time itself, because I love old things and I love when my things get older. My collection is called "Non-Tidal," also meaning "Not a Title," which is both the absence of a Title and a comment on Titles generally. It also has something to do with my studio being a boat on the water (Tidal) and all the colors being blue like water is blue. Also my favorite song of all time is Ebb and Flow by 311. It is also open to interpretation because the author's intent is not the final word and I understand that.

English teacher: "I have a basic understanding of Foucauldian discourse analysis and am not a total prig, so I sign this with an "OK.""

I thought it was because of Bobbin and Katy's long-standing beef with Jay-Z's music streaming service

When do Story Sandals drop???

[stappard_]

I assumed 'non-tidal' referred to some part of the GCSE geography syllabus i'd forgotten about. excited for SS16 'oxbow lake'

I still have 1 pink brick batik shirt (M) here in stock made up and ready to ship if anyone wants it. Haven't shot it for the webstore (launching this weekend) so email me b@storymfg.com if you'd like it.

Now is sort of a quiet time between seasons while AW rounds off and SS16 is being made (looks amazing!) but we have been working on the following collection for so, so, so long and everyone will get to see it in Jan at the shows.

Just about to send off first peeks to press and buyers - but I kind of want people who have supported us to always hear first so here's what's coming up. No pics I'm afraid - not even close - but if you're into Story AW is really special:
