was just looking at ss24 sneak peek, looks coolio
return of the bomber jacket is great
Plz make trousers in small waist with longer inseam š
That quarter zip is calling my name
The workwear stuff they snuck out is also v neat
Bomber and cargos are sick
I still want a short on time jacket
I look for em everyone and then
bomber is great, leaf cardi is cozy overload
my short on time date palm jacket is one of my faves
bec i like plants, palms are some of my faves
tulpa trek bomber is the goat story piece though
itās cool to see them do a workweary SoT jacket in what looks like..denim?
this setup is CUTE
havenāt seen a fit with them yet i donāt think
Yea the site says black denim/100% Organic cotton, really excited to see some more of it
Hell yea thanks for sharing. that black denim setup is a standout for me
The pink bomberā¦..
ooh the pants look nice
Love this collection overall
Everything looks soo good. Love the patchwork jackets
Oh damn I might try to get that cardigan. I'm not cool enough for Story MFG but I love their stuff
i feel like individual pieces are fairly approachable
Fully story is very different than a piece here and there
ya full story is kinda corny
or at least, a very specific look
Yeah agree. I donāt think I could pull off full story, especially because it would imply changing my entire closet to just be in that aesthetic and thats not really me.
Buuut a few individual pieces in an otherwise regular fit can look great imo
Do they not have a FW collection?
good q
canāt seem to find anything on it
FW is currently being added to the website.
Not sure if there's a lookbook though.
But I keep getting emails about it
wish we could get saeed in here since he was an mfa guy
yeah i had an email yesterday that aw23 delivery two is up
I remember saeed posting about not doing previews for ā23
the jackets and pants look very nice
wish the camp collar shirts were more fun though, this season its just been like embroidery scattered around
I liked their last drop a lot
new seed bombers look so good, still reversible too, green one is a black/pink checkerboard on the inside iirc
so excited to have a place to be a huge nerd about STORY again lol
bought a two of the gentle fullness shirts from this season
really like em
hope it isnt just a t shirt brand cause the button ups are really nice
which ones did you pick up?
gentlefulness feels kinda like a casual streetwear version of story
ah yeah the green one is definitely on my mind and i love the reversed look too. i am curious what the pinkās reverse looks like
these two!
wanna pick up more story next season though
need at least one polite pullover
ooo cute, i wonder if they did like a clamped dye treatment for these too
i have a polite pullover from a couple years ago that i wear pretty frequently in fw
I want the lavender Polite pullover
love that one
if i had the money id collect them all
pink reverse is the same pink/black check I think, black one reverses into that blue/brown mosaic that's also in the preview
There's a quilted lavender one coming this season that I'm excited for, I've loved my 'velvet' ones in the past but I felt like I always babied them too much
do they age well?
wear points might need patches eventually once the pile wears down
but they fade really nicely
oh thats not too bad, might go with cord still but the velvets do look very nice
my cord one still holding up very well
and they're more durable than they seem, it's not that they're actually delicate I just found that I could never wear them with the same 'confidence' as my other stuff
which velvet ones do you have?
I used to have the first iteration from is.Lunar and the green one from a season or two later
first gen was wonky, cuffs weren't elastic they had drawstrings
really annoying to get on and off lol
ooo yeah i remember that lol
Story is really cool! the SoT jacket in bark is a favorite piece for sure
lots of good deals on SSENSE, I've been eyeing a pair of the foraging pants or cargo pants in off-white for a while
be sure to check out the womens section too, cause some of the pieces are unisex
yea lots of good stuff left
someone get this so I don't lol https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/product/story-mfg/purple-twinsun-sweater/12174391
also the show Platonic on apple tv had a few story pieces/fits that I thought were interesting (as was the show imo)
ive seen soo many polite pullovers in tv shows
https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/story-mfg/brown-short-on-time-jacket/12540041
very good price on these too
but only xs
definitely one of their stand out pieces
ooh yea the green velvet one caught my eye when it first dropped
a character on the show avenue 5 had a double date jacket
such a unique jacket! can't help but feel like that dicaprio meme when seeing items on tv haha
Washed it and found this
š
hoping ssense can help but not hopeful since I already washed it. should've checked it more closely when I bought it. oof
aside from the fact story mfg is absurdly out of my price point, something about their clothing comes off as equally endearing
what am i looking at
is it like discolored?
Looks normal to me
just do something like this
just disappointing though since i just tried it on and washed it. it was $$ too!
get a thick red thread and embroider a flower there. no better brand to do that with than story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhVIT7faxS4

AW23 now available online
Pants inseams still too small. š¦
Love my cotton knit from ss23 though.
just had an email about the latest drop and thought of you when i saw these
still a couple more drops coming iirc
excited to see the french jackets in person
That grass clamp pattern is so dope. Brb gonna mow the lawn and roll around a bit to steal the look
My partner has ordered a pair but I have no faith in them working for me š¦
Anyone have a Tuesday jacket? Been hoping they restock them in my size
I bought this bag because I love the crochet stash bag but didnāt want to pay story mfg prices
Anyone have experience with the climbing shirts? They seem like a piece I can easily work into my style
climbing jerseys are great, super wearable. If you size it to fit 'normal' it's just a slightly boxy slightly cropped rugby shirt
this is a small and iām usually a small/medium
cute little star is fun too
Thank you! I think the cropped silhouette from a lot of the pieces is where I struggle but this looks v wearable!
yea iām loving more ānormalā stuff in their more recent collections, tuesday jacket has a much more standard fit than a sundae, french jacket seems much more normal than the SOT etc
now I just need 0 jeans to come back lol
I love the climbing jerseyās! They look great on you @0z .
I canāt really justify the price of them right now but hereās hoping they have some at their sample sale š
They're floating around at 50-60% off some places at the moment btw.
Oh damn, I should not be spending money at the moment haha.
Bruh they are Ā£275 on story but Ā£355 retail on ssense?!
Might buy the small anyway

Polite Pullover - Purple Star Scraps Patchwork
The Polite Pullover is probably our most iconic style. Itās a hiking top with side pockets. This version is lightly padded with 100% organic cotton,Ā finished with patchwork chest detail and a hand embroidered logo. Fits oversized (like basically everything we make).
Extremely good
i was just falling in love with that 17 seconds ago
there's one at a good prince on grailed, listed as a medium but tagged as a small
oh dang is it really 22" ptp?
I wish I could find the cotton pile fleece pullover they did a couple years back.
i'm not looking at the grailed one now but it seems like it was a little smaller. i probably would've bought it if it was 22"
might've shrunk?
yeah looks like ~21.5" which seems kinda actually small tbh
bleh that's the colorway I wanted too
yeah it's a good one
This is the first thing from story that full retail price doesnt scare me
It looks sooo good
As much as I don't want to I think I'm gonna pass on the one on grailed. I think I'd like a medium more based on the measurements tbh
Im glad they arent using that yucky velvet as much
I have a rugby from LL Bean in a size small and it's too small for sure
Plus that star patchwork goes way harder than the embroidery.
Yessss
Getting that polite (hopefully) next week. Super excited to have one not in velvet, I feel like it fit's the vibe so much better lol
nice to see you here!
Plsss post pics
Hello old friend š
nice to have a place to be a nerd about STORY again
Will post the minute it all gets in lol
wait also did you get a new laser rain time jacket? I could've sworn I bought mine from you lol
lmao yea i got one off Y! a few years back and then passed it onto a friend. still have the orange one
i just don't like long blue coats on my body for some reason..
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
to be fair corridor sold sweaters in that same pattern last year
but the real crime is ripping off my grandma
the pattern is kinda whatever but I havenāt seen anyone else rip the colors that blatantly
though my reaction is definitely partially because itās ALD lol
oh this i understand
Your grandma indeed - that pattern of crochet is typically referred to as "granny squares". There was a controversy a while back when Target was selling a crochet sweater at a price point that seemed to indicate extrememly cheap labor was being used. (Not an expert by any means - just sharing https://observer.com/2022/02/is-this-cardigan-a-labor-issue/)

Short On Time Jacket - Star Scraps Patchwork
The Short On Time Jacket is boxy, anti-fit, and features removable and interchangeable corozo nut buttons. Itās a staple item for us that weāve been making since almost the beginning.Ā This version is completely patchworked from various 100% organic cotton and naturally dyed fabrics used across the collection.
Oof those are cool. I like how they used the SoT silhouette with the patch pockets and removable buttons. Iām happy with my worf jacket but the side entry pockets can feel awkward at times

Really lovely lookbook
one of the best with knits and tie dyes
yeah the knits look so nice
Any reliable places to look out for Story mfg on sale?
Ssense, Mr Porter, Nordstrom
for some older stuff japanese retailers tend to have a lot, a normal google search can also sometimes pull up older stockists which usually have pretty good deals
i found my tulpa trek seed bomber this way, so this is a good tip
What size did you end up taking?
this please
Im thinking hard about this knit
i'm generally don't love cotton knits for dumb reasons, but i love this shape and the drape and the slouch and also the color
it's a small, I'm like 5'10 160 lbs for reference
Thanks! Hows breaking it in been
it's been way too warm to even start lol
probably gonna need to be like 40/50 for it to really be comfortable
maybe even low 30's with a hoodie it's so thick
That furrow jumper is š„ but Iām too poor lol
Wait nvm I still have my 401k
Any recos for these retailers? Been doing some digging but haven't found much in the way of deals
Might fuck around and cop this tho
ssense is probably the most consistently on sale but I would just look at the stockist list on their site, full transparency iām on the fnf list so I havenāt bought from a retailer in years lol
Yeah I typically monitor story whenever the ssense sale drops! But will scour thru the stockist list

Sweater and pants looks awesome
Anybody have sizing advice on the greetings shirt? Im typically a large, but going by the listed measurements, would probably fit a medium jsut fine
Wish they had shoulder measurements though
Theyāre extremely roomy so youāre probably ok sizing down
They are a bit cropped so be sure to check length
I'm with Narwhal, size for length with story IME. They're supposed to fit big and roomy and if you're sizing down because of that you can probably find alternatives that will work better for you. I typically wear a small and I've sized up to medium in a bit of story cos of the unisex/cropped sizing.
a few pretty new things
Its weird that theyre already doing pre-spring
last one mightāve been a stretch but cāmon
Wow this one is pretty blatant haha
OK gotta ask is there fake story out there?? I'm permanently scarred after a bad kapital buy
I would imagine not
Story doesnt have the same resale market as kapital so I wouldnt see the point in faking it
I also scoured the rep forums and found nothing so seems pretty safe
ugh the new collab jacket is so cool
I wishy budget would allow it...
canāt believe I didnāt have a tuesday jacket before this itās sick
new stuff from mid-season drop
French jacket is especially pretty
Really nice pickups

that purple bomber and growing peace sweater are crazy cool
šÆ that bomber is sick as hell
listened to the podcast with throwing fits and Saeed mentioned that they like to mix it up and theres no staples. wondering if i missed my chance in picking up a polite pullover and short on time jacket!
I really like that cƔrdigan on the last slide as well
saeed huffed his own farts too hard on that
they have made both every season since their introduction
yeah might be a good time to let those go, i can just keep my eyes peeled on grailed or something. that said wouldnt be surprised if they popped up as a late addition since not everythings in the preview
yeah iāve seen both of those every season. either theyāll bring them out later or theyāll be back very soon
but also iām pretty sure the jacket on the left is short on time
at least, looks like the same configuration as the two i have
oh sick nvm
They do the natty indigo handloomed sundae jackets all year too
The sundae jacket doesnt fit right for me but im interested in the tuesday jacket
The cable knit is so nice
cable knit looks so good
excited to hear more about that cropped chore coat, obviously it's not but it looks so close to suede I can't figure out what it actually is
puffy vest is exciting too
Alright
Has anyone successfully washed their story mfg stuff without nuking the dye
I tried to wash a pair of the jeans and the dye ran and faded/streaked pretty intensely and theyāre way less stiff than before
I have a pair of black peace pants that are crocking everywhere but I fear they just wonāt be as black/will fade similarly after I try to wash them
They've bled for me as well, haven't faded though
You can maybe set it with soda ash then do a syntrapol wash but not sure what else you can do
Thank you ā¤ļø
hope it works out!

Fun lookbook! I really like the v-neck sweater that genleman in the first picture is wearing
Currently witnessing the worst styled polite pullover I've ever seen. Looks like the person sized down to make it slim fit.
sounds terrible but loveable
I saw looking for fits and saw one like it
It looked so confusing
please show the class
Im still waiting to pick up their brown peace cargo pants lol
The baseball hat is so cool
I just don't know what letter to pick :xd:
they went quickk
Don't like baseball hata but like that shit is cute ASF I have to be honest
both L, F, and K might be good choices.
Do they restock on those things
also like U
hmm not sure
I was thinking F for Futurebound
Personal motto
No letter would had been fine by me but it's cute too
oh wait, it says customizable?
Just the letter part
So might be able to change the letter as well, but not sure
Seems like handsewn but limited stock
Atm
Make sense
F would be cute too for the meme
What meme
wish there were some fit pics
cdf got one
press F to pay respect
Made my brain neurons tickle
LMAO
ahh didnt see
Just recent purchases
It looks nice
Now I'm thinking about it

No restocks it seems so good decision to buy!

Are they gonna bleed blue on your forehead

shouldnāt be too much forehead bleeding, I have a hand loomed indigo hat from years ago that never really had a problem with that

If it werenāt story I wouldnāt have asked :p
Mine has not bled on my forehead (so far)

I saw another human in the black peace pants I have on Saturday but I was in a rush and couldnāt say hi so we didnāt get to kiss meet

I'm an awkward shape, particularly/mainly for their pants.
Silly question but are the bottoms generally elasticated? Or just the drawstring?
The two pair I have are drawstring, iirc the other two pairs I tried (diff styles) were too
But no elastic in the waist right?
None that I remember and none in my pairs
some have elastic some don't
pretty sure it's noted on their website

anyone tried the Story MFG beatniks (or maybe just beatniks in general) and know if they are comfortably wearable without the heel strap?
yeah i only ever wear them without the strap
never had a problem with them but you just have to size well i guess
I've got them. I found they size up a bit small.
But wearable without the heel strap.
Might have to get another story cap.
How do the forager pants fit fellas
Super good sales goin on all over the place
I size down 1 full size.
Fully elasticated waist?
No they actually just run large
For what itās worth Iāve found these to be incredibly uncomfortable compared to other slides and birks, to the point I pretty much never wear them.

these are sick
i wish i knew about them earlier
didn't know they were releasing them
i resent story mfg continuing to make good and cute clothes
I'm usually between 32 and 34 in sizing, is sizing up to a 36 in the forager insane? Just looking at what's available in the sales.
Yes
Theyre already pretty generously sized, i dont think the size 36 is for you
the sanity I need ty
š«”
So theyāre true to size?
I was looking at picking up the indigo cap. Did you ever get it?
I think a few ppl here got them
@De La Joel do u or anyone else have any input on skirt sizing and particulars? Might pick one up for my partner between now and Xmas (or Iāll get a big one we can share since I imagine they cinch š)
My partner owns the forager skirt and it fits pretty huge. Itās a medium and Iām pretty sure I can fit it as a 36ā waist.
Wow ok hell yeah
Can it turbo cinch like most story waists
We were looking at the same one in M or L, I worry an L may not cinch enough for my partner (24? 26ā? Idk) but id need like 36ā
Holy shit the colors are gorgeous
Never knew I needed something
I have a previous indigo cap but not this one, I got the pink one.
Ah okay š both look nice.
I missed out on the initial indigo cap. I am curious of difference in how slubby the fabric is, the new indigo chambray looks different from that initial run.
It can cinch in a decent amount but I donāt think Iād recommend it for someone who was a 24-26
I sized DOWN comfortably and still have a large, slouchy fit.
An M would fit you fine, i'm a 36" and there's still wiggle room
interesting
i have a uhhh
L Lush pant which is "right" and an XL story pant which is rather large
Ooh right important to note i only have experience with the forager haha other styles might be different with sizing
Every season they just continue to get better and better. This is one of my favorite tee designs, really cool to see it as a hand-knit.
Wow
No personal sales in the MFA channels pls
couple new graphic tees
almost tempted me to bundle with some peace pants but Iām afraid of the dye bleed still
If it helps, I've never really experienced dye bleed from Story MFG pieces when doing a cold wash.
The dyes definitely do fade over time though
unfortunately its been an experience for a lot of the members here me included
almost so often its become somewhat of a meme
Oh, guess I'm just lucky!
shirts, jackets, and pants the main offenders, t-shirts ive never had a issue with
I like the little charm they put in packages
heart hand is a classic
I wear my mushroom one often!
I need to find my OG one, the first ones where carved out of ebonized wood

Damn didn't know they used to do bracelets š
