Brands Investing In For AW12

Looking at the AW12/13 collections I am looking to invest in the following brands.

Woolrich
Junya Watanabe MAN
Nigel Cabourn
Maison Martin Margiela
Raf Simons
Stone Island
YMC
Folk
Han Kjobenhavn
Engineered Garments
Adidas
Paraboot
Bass

I am going to be investing in a Malory jacket by Nigel Cabourn for sure and possibly a Stone Island Ice Jacket.

Some good thick woolen jumpers and sweatshirts are needed because I think it is going to be a cold winter.

I also really need to build up my shirts and tee shirts because I have neglected them over the last year.

From a colour perspective I am looking at investing in bright blue, grey, orange, and white - carrying over the dark blue and green from last winter.
