Brand Spotlight: South2 West8 - Topic of the day 2/10/24
This Nepethenes family brand coubld be a collab between dead-heads and fly fishers. Fusing technical apparel and fashion, are they a catch for you? Is the Supreme Tenkara Rod on your gearlist? Or are you not taking the bite?

I only have one item from s2w8 and it's this flannel which is probably one of the tamest pieces they make. But it's a really nice flannel and I love how it fits me
Their look books are super interesting though, and I like how they have plenty of matching tops and bottoms in fun patterns
They’re the rare brand for me that looks better when actual ppl wear it than just looking at the clothes in isolation. When I just see a pics of their pieces I think “hmm feels like a little too much” but then when I see someone wearing them it often looks good. I feel like @OxfordKarma , for example has had some great fits with a s2w8 fleece.
Love S2W8, but I find they miss a lot (for me). Some of my favorite pants I got from their sample sale, but in general I find do their to loudness a lot of what they make isn't for me, espicially at their pricepoint.
Cool brand. Most of their stuff is louder than what I would personally wear, but I definitely want a Tenkara Trout jacket and pants at some point.
I have a safety orange trout jacket and it's great. Couple other bits too, it's surprisingly wearable
