What are your thoughts so far? I personally like the reaper anomie jacket and the Yukon Monarch.

I've seen a lot of hate on this site concerning Saga's new direction. I haven't used any of their new gear so I cant speak for its quality, but just in terms of aesthetics, I think they did a damn good job.

Monarch and Fatigue lines look amazing. Will be picking up a jacket for sure.

I think that the logo on the anomie pants is too bold and big. The fatigue and monarch lines are looking good.

I actually like everything except the anomie jacket's pockets on the chest, they just don't look appealing at all...I do like the bright colors.

Also is this their 10th year anniversary or was their first line 05/06

Loving their new stuff for next year, only hoping that they improved the zipper and made it metal teeth on the Monarch (everything else was on point). The plastic teeth just didn't cut it.

Also hoping that the Monarch pant is more of a shell, but can't win them all.

Most likely going to grab a Monarch coat in Glacier, and Monarch pants in Yukon.
Clean and simple.

The Monarch and Fatigue lines both look amazing (except for that awful foxtrot camo)
Not really digging the huge boxy pockets on the Anomie though.

Saga knocked it out if the park with this line! I really like all the stuff, I'd say it's the best line in a few years! I'm stoked on it. Just not stoked on how many people will have it.

Evergreen looks good, but even better is the beaver fur, which reminds me of 44 Days.

the foxtrot kind of reminds me of burton's comic series from a few years back, I dislike both; everything else is pretty dope though.

I feel like for once I'm leaning more towards Saga's "plain colors" (ie black, grey, khaki). In my opinion I feel all those color schemes are really on point. The more vibrant color schemes are just to poppy for my taste.

I'm a big fan of the Ox Blood. I'll probably get that to go with my NF khaki pants to replace my jacket that is currently falling apart.

The fatigue line in the more neutral colour options, are the only items I would even consider tbh. That being said, those are pretty nice. The branding/logos are much too big on some of the items. Never been a fan over over-branding, especially when the logo looks crap.

wow a lot of hate on the anomie line.

I think they're just trying to appeal to everyone. Not everyone likes mellow, dark colors. They have it all between all 3 series. I say good job saga. I like it

Are the Fatigue 2L pants a skinny fit? This is what I understand them to be, and if they are, how skinny do they look? Or do they still carry some baggyness when compared to normal big brand ski pants? I just wish the Anomie line didn't have the big logo at the front, something more subtle like on the Monarchs and Fatigue is better. Also the colour trims sort of ruin some of the designs like the Mad Dog this is why I ask how the Fatigues fit as they look better. Don't want super skinny.

Fatigues have that more tailored/fitted fit. If you don't want skinny, size up.
I had the first season line of them, 6'3" and 180 lbs, I wore a large, and it was fitted with some skinny feel to it, XL obviously would have bagginess to it.
Saga does pretty good on modelling different sizing and heights of their models too.
Take a check on the sizing chart, you'll get a good idea.

Monarch is slim but not skinny. Good middle ground

Saga, can you please brand your anomie line like you do your fatigue line. The Saga logo on the front of the jackets and on the pants looks stupid.

Quality is very good. I've had 3 different jackets and 2 pants and all performed like crazy

They did a killer job with the Fatigue and Monarch series, not digging the anomie jackets as much but I love that line of pants (in terms of build quality, fit, and comfort).

mattb912Saga, can you please brand your anomie line like you do your fatigue line. The Saga logo on the front of the jackets and on the pants looks stupid.


There has to be differentiation between the lines. The Monarch is the technical, The fatigue the toned down mellow and the Anomie is the vibrant loud make a statement line. If all three lines were mellow colors with simple lay outs and minimal branding we would be making products that compete against each other which is what you try to avoid.

We appreciate the input though.

We'll see about that my friend. We can understand where you and other members are coming from with wanting the simplicity and muted tones but in reality making products that look like any other brands basic bullshit isn't successful. We know we aren't going to please everyone. I mean we only have 3 primary lines of outerwear, that's nothing when compared to other major outerwear brands. But we're always incredibly hyped with the lines we put out and they're always very successful.

I really don't think the anomie is too cluttered. The logo may be a bit big, but that's what they're going for. I really want the Beaverfur. I'd get any of them except for the Flux Yellow and the Jaws just because they are a bit too flashy
