Long-time lurker, first-time poster. This is a great website and a great forum, so I wanted to share my thoughts on the Odin Shop at Target - which I have been excited about since I first heard of the collaboration.
Store Observations: I got to my local Target (City Line Ave., Philly) at around 8:15 am. Not really crowded, but it seemed like pretty limited stock. That said, they had pretty much everything (no duffle though), but only one or two items in each size.
Here's what I picked up:
Fair Isle Sweater: http://www.target.com/p/odin-new-yor...r/-/A-14145086
Probably my favorite item. Not many in stock. A nice taupe-grey color. However, I had to size down to get the right fit (I'm 6'1, 186 pounds, size 42L suit - and I thought the Medium looked best here). I probably wouldn't wear a button down underneath this.
Waffle Henley: http://www.target.com/p/odin-new-yor...y/-/A-14190632
Very nice. Lots in stock. Size L. Fits great.
Flecked Shawl Sweater: http://www.target.com/webapp/wcs/sto...r/-/A-14144754
Nice way to pick up on this trend. Not many in stock. Size L fit nicely (a little roomier, but would definitely wear a button-down underneath here).
Black Flannel Shirt: http://www.target.com/webapp/wcs/sto...r/-/A-14145066
Probably going to return this. Lots in stock. Looked ok in store, but picks up lots of lint and looks kind of cheaper than the rest of the stuff. The grey accent strip under the buttons looks kind of odd when you see it from the side.
Grey Chukkas: http://www.target.com/p/men-s-odin-b...i_detailbutton
Very few in stock. I'm either a 12 or a 13 and I took a 12. They're just ok. The price was right, and I knew I wouldn't find them again given the very limited stock, so I bought them - but not sure.
Other observations: They didn't have the pants in waist sizes larger than 34 and inseams longer than 32. I'm about a 35 waist, but always a 34 length - so I didn't even try them.
Good luck - and I'd be interested in hearing anybody else's observations about this stuff.
