BLK DNM

I am not sure how i feel about this place.
When i am making an expensive purchase, i would like for it to be utilitarian, but these clothes do not really speak to me in this way.
Maybe one day I will discover why it is worth it. I just do not have enough money to make those discoveries now.

I don’t know about u guys but my «jacket 5» fits absolutely perfect in size M. The sales guy there told me that what ever size I wear in their leather jackets comfortably, I should get a size down from that, so that the leather can break in and conform to my body. I was glad I listened to his advice. I’m 5’9 185lbs with a 41 chest and 31 waist. Based on those measurements I would of ordered a L online and missed out on the sales guys advice. My jacket fits like a fucking glove as he said with 3 weeks of break in time! Thanks sales dude if u are reading this.

The shittiest sales people I have ever had the displeasure to meet. It’s really not worth the time for the attitude I got here. I’ll save myself a couple bucks and wait for the sample sale. These guys were JERKS.

After a few weeks of shopping for and trying on leather jackets I was finally sold by the quality and design details found at BLK DNM. I looked at Diesel and All Saints. All offer good or great quality at similar prices but I couldn’t justify $ 800 on a jacket that wasn’t perfect.
I wore this jacket every day through the fall and winter. it has wore in perfectly!
One of the details I really love is the pocket lining. It’s some kind of soft flannel and it is so nice to slip my hands into. Hard to explain. you just have to try one on.
To the reviewer who ordered his jacket over the phone before trying it on… **FacePalm**

I was browsing online and found a BLK leather jacket that I liked but the brand does not have an online ordering system, so I called in my order. Carly (store manager?) took my order. Delivery took 2 days since i’m in DC. The leather was very rich and soft with a nice lining. I’m about 5’10 with 38 chest and the large was slightly tight. The brand is very fitted, but in my opinion, more tailored for the skinnier individual.
I had some problems ordering and returning my jacket. The store is going through a systems change and is having a hard time emailing receipts? I originally requested a receipt when I placed my order. The receipt was suppose to be emailed to me but I failed to receive it, even after multiple requests. The same thing happened when I returned my jacket. Carly assured me the jacket was returned and that she forwarded me the receipt, but much like my initial purchase, the receipt failed to reach me. The return took 3 – 5 days.
Carly did a good job taking my order but her email response time is slightly lacking and confirmation email’s are non-​existent. In my opinion, an online ordering site puts the customer at ease because of confirmation emails and receipts. If BLK chooses not to have an online ordering site, they should at least have better customer support. In certain instances, I wasn’t even sure if my order went through because I never received any confirmation. I had to call on multiple occasions and send multiple emails to elicit a response.
I’m always a little weary about giving my credit card info over the phone because of fraudulent charges. Well, I have now found that I have a $ 170 random charge from BLK. I called Carly and she said she will «take care of it». I’m assuming that I’ll be sending non-​responsive emails and calling the store multiple times before this is resolved! I will certainly not be ordering anything from this store ever again! So upsetting!

Do not buy the white jeans. The black leather tag will stain the whole piece no matter how you wash them.

I wandered into this place on a whim as I was walking down Lafayette St. It looked pretty industrial and neat on the inside, so I decided to check it out. Their real focus is (obviously) denim, but they had some nice tops and outer wear to offer.
When I visited, the color scheme was pretty monochromatic. Blacks, whites, greys, with a splash of blue for the denim. Prices are high end for me. A sweatshirt was $ 70, and this bad ass black leather jacket that I was lusting after was $ 700. If I recall correctly, the jeans were in the $ 150 range.
Overall, pretty neat shop with tons of cool photography to look at. Sadly it’s out of my price range to spend on threads so I won’t be coming back anytime soon.
