Previous thread:
>>25977>>2335"Looking better in outerwear is more than just 'buy this type of outerwear'. That's ignoring the shape of the wearer and the clothes they're wearing underneath that outer layer. That A-frame coat might entice people to seek one out expecting a similar results. What is not explained is that A-line silhouettes tend to favor narrow frame people, in particular, those with narrow shoulders. If you happen to have wider or square shoulders, you might be better served by a raglan sleeve which will soften you and create a more organic line (a robe coat might be your best bet).
Understanding your body will help you look better in outerwear. Do you have a long/short torso, do you have a wide/narrow frame? V shape? Pear shape? Round? Etc. A nice puffy bomber might sound great, but if you have thicc thighs or are more rotund you might actually be better off with the slimmer and more rectangular bomber.
Pretty much anything goes, but it's hard to get there if you don't pay attention to how forms change on your body and what you pair them with.
Some basic visual breakpoints for folks to keep in mind are:
- The bottom of the chest - Think shrug/bolero length
- Naval
- Modern waist
- Hip
- Knee
- Mid-calf
- Ankle
With these breakpoints you can add layers that hit different breakpoints to create different proportions. You can use color to create or hide contrast between sections. You can vary widths to explore more complex forms. You can leverage accessories to delineate breakpoints. You can tuck, roll, and whatever else to also hit those horizontal visuals to help play with proportion and change the silhouette.
Try to think of your fit as a composition of shapes and then, you can look better in outerwear (and everything else too)."
With this thread hitting a third version maybe we need a whole board? Though it's only like 20 people involved on the fashion threads.
>>2374What even is considered narrow/wide shoulders exactly? What is thicc thighs? What is a short or long torso? Are these sort of things all relative as a ratio or a specific measure range? I think to even make use of this sort of info one needs to actually figure out how to properly identify their body. And what of posture? I noticed posture has a big effect on how tops look. I look different wwhen hunched over some than I do with a ridgid back.
>>2381No. Just dont wear white shoes with white jeans unless you have a white top on.
>>2386Merino wool underwear likely would take care of a sweaty crack. It absorbs moisture better than cotton and better temperature regulation so less likely to sweat to begin with.
>>2392 It probably originally started with mens clothes because they kept forgetting what brand they were wearing. You can remove patches with a seam ripper. You can remove embroidery with a seam ripper too or a specialized tool made for shaving off embroidery from backsbackside with a clipper like tool usually but can risk accidentally cutting the fabric too. Though you need a fabric that can have the holes dissapear. I know it works on cotton and wool but less sure on others.
>>2396>97% petrol productI hate this timeline. I noticed this happens way less with womens clothes. They are forcing men to wear plastic while women get cotton, cashmere, silk and fine linen.
>>2448What does this have to do with fashion?
But anyways:
>back to the cave nosferatus>you weren't built for this world. >>2492they're clearly not the same thing
first one is a bekishe, a frock coat made of embroidered silk or polyester
second one is probably a kittel which is just standard linen (or cotton blend) robes with a midriff lace
>>2466>JuliusThat first fit looks aweful. Makes the model look really short which is kind if what I was talking about avoiding. Rest looks maybe worth looking out for.
>>2468>become a snufkin cosplayer thenLol I'm not really limiting myself to a specific look just using it as a basis for use of natural materials that is more DIY friendly for if I ever get a chance to properly learn to sew.
>>2488I'm not really experienced much but regular cut wouldnt give you much to work with to make a J jean cut and relaxed and wide fit often is loose in the hip area unless they are low rise jeans i think. If loose in hip area it's difficult to take in that much far up because of the front pocket rivets. A better base possibly would be any cut that flares out at least starting at the knee is what my instincts say.
>>2497Didnt know J shirts were a thing but I guess that makes sense. I imagine to get a proper look the fabric has to be heavier weight or it just looks sloppy?
>>2490>post how to get into tailoringI did in one of the past threads. Easiest to understand I found was this guy Stylish D on YouTube. He uses a sewing machine but there does exist cheap handheld sewing machines and if you wanted to do hand sewing the tailoring process will be mostly the same just different stitch choice in some situations. He doesn't always use the best methods since he's not totally a pro but he focuses on men's clothing and is clear on his instructions so good place to start I think. For hand sewing pretty much any historical clothing maker channel has good info on hand sewing because they do it out of passion.
>>2521You should check actual size first. I used to think men's clothing didnt do vanity sizing but they actually do. My measurments are two inches larger than my pant size. When jeans shrink it usually is more in length than width and Ive had jeans get loosened with wear but at 100% cotton you should expect increased risk of tears if you size down versus up and if tailoring is an option it's easier to tailor smaller than bigger. Also depends on your body shape. If you have a flat ass, and legs similar thickness throughout maybe size down and if you have thick calves or thighs maybe size up. So it's a tough call.
>>2522It started with someone online making and selling what they called "goth Crocs" and some designers also did collabs that do similar idea in collabs. You can basically just make them yourself putting studs in and securing them somehow.
>>2541uneven bite + shitty angle
he has the money to get his teeth realigned
>>2562You're supposed to retract them into your body for safe keeping
LOL you just let them hang out there? in the world?? where any thing can happen to them???
>>2500wait
so you tellin me all I gotta do is duct tape the seams n my pants look cooler?
srry im new to fashion I do not know of these things
>>2572>he thinks wearing basketball shorts all the time is related to gang activity >lollike a quarter of the male population below 25 dresses like this guy
now wearing basketball shorts under your ribbed amiri jeans while rocking a shiesty is an actual red flag
>>2595I think the point is it's too hot to wear anything but a tshirt.
I live in temperate climes but I get hot easily so I can rarely wear any drip either. Alas.
>>2597t-shirts are fucking awful for hot weather
just wear something breezy and/or porous and you'll be fine
>>2614just avoid skinny jeans
go for wide pants, cropped for a clean look
or shorts and tall socks if youre feeling bold
>>2593>>2597Been covered a few times already. Search through the thread on hot weather fabrics.
>>2615I cant get over my mental association of cropped pants with just being too short of pants that some tv nerd would have worn in the 90s.
>>2627I barely even use regular pockets
Maybe just for my phone and some random bits of paper
>>2627>Your opinions on cargosObjectively the best pants
>b-but hollywood fashion police tells me that practicality is ugly!!==!???!?"311Black cargos, lessens contrast of pockets, problem solved
>Are they comfortable for carrying extra stuff>>2629>actually using the pockets is pretty inconvenient and a great way to destroy stuff while doing manual labour>>2630>you will feel the contents of your cargo pockets swinging back and forth every time you walk and itll be even worse if youre runningYour thigh pockets are specifically for light/thin objects.
>>2637Not really.
Having few, overfilled pockets is just all-around terrible.
>>2639Crossbody bag is easily stolen/leverage in a fight.
>>2640>inside pockets in coatsgood luck in summer
>>2649>fightNone but it is a potential danger that you as a politically controversial, active figure should be aware of; something that I assume you are, right?
>stolenOf course I've had shit stolen from me, though as a consequence of inadequate supervision. I live in an urban area.
>>2709i hope not, all "archive" resellers deserve to go bankrupt
its sad to think how many depop/grailed people have dozens of pieces of old clothing all just sitting there, marked up, remaining unsold, all while they continue to fill up spare rooms and storage lockers with more and more of it
>>2644>>2646Martin himself wouldn't want you to buy these; he would want you to find a good pair of sneakers that you yourself like and customize them tastefully as an expression of your own artistic intent. This is what he did when he stumbled upon the German army trainers in the late 90's.
There will be plenty of uniformed hacks out there to support these luxury houses, don't worry. You don't need to be one of them. Remember Margiela left his own label over a decade ago already.
>>2714look up what acronym is lol
>ooming🙄
Sure. A leather jacket you wear is like your second skin, and it should feel perfect to you on all of its characteristics, which I'll get into below.
First when I buy a leather jacket I'll group it into one of two categories which will influence its use case to me:
Heritage / daily wear jackets: These would be time-tested built like a tank sorts that you will pass to your children. And their children. They're more conservative, and the style have not changed for decades. Some brands in this space are Schott, Vanson, Aero, and on the higher end, we have repro brands like Real McCoys, Iron Heart, Himel Bros. I would wear these daily, to everywhere, thick and thin. Typically these are made out of thick (unfashionably so), full grain leather from reputed tanneries. Horsehide, buffalo, and steerhide are the most common leathers you see, and the fits are much boxier.
Fashion brands: These look amazing from a style perspective, but I would not count on being able to pass them down to my kids. They're much more fashion forward, with higher armholes, and flattering silhouettes. You feel like a million bucks wearing it, and you're the center of attention. Some brands in this space would be: Kooples, Allsaints, Sandro, and maybe Polo on the lower end, and on the higher end, you have your "menswear" brands like Valstar, purple label Polo, Savas, Zegna and also of course your designer brands like Rick Owens, YSL, Celine, Acne Studios. And if you want to plumb the depths of fashion hell you have niche brands like Julius, Carol Christian Poell, Incarnation, Devoa, Boris Bidjan Saberi, and so on. It gets real deep. The hides are usually corrected and thin, and made of more supple, stretchy hides like goatskin, calfskin.
And when I am evaluating the quality of a leather jacket I look at a few qualities of the jacket. Of course depending on whether its a heritage or fashion jacket my needs would change.
The leather:
What animal is it from? Horse is shiny, difficult to break in, but arguably the strongest. Steerhide (grown up bulls) is durable and thick as heck. Goathide / sheepskin is really comfortably and easy to wear but thin. Calfskin is also similarly thin, and comfortable and stretchy. It's like picking a class in an RPG, theres pros and cons to all of them.
How thick is the hide? You can usually grab it and kind of tell once you've handled enough jackets. Thickness affects durability but also wearability. I'd trust my schott to protect me if I fell off a motorcycle, but its kind of bulky and cumbersome. My Rick Owens jacket is beautiful and fits my frame PERFECTLY but its kind of thin, and sometimes feels like im not wearing anything due to how supple it is.
Is it corrected? Corrected means the designer took a sandpaper to the hide and sacrificed some durability and thickness to achieve a uniform texture.
Was it properly tanned? Most reputable brands have great sources and leathers that are tanned well - but I've gambled on smaller brands and gotten spongy leather that was not durable at all - it flake really easily and expose the blue spongy (clearly chrome tanned) inner layers. If you buy a "sick deal" on amazon on an unknown brand you'll run into this. Trust me.
How is the stitching? The first place cheaper leather jackets skimp out on is the stitching - and these become points of failure.
How's the paneling? Your jacket is made up of panels - and it is more expensive to have less panels and bigger stretches of leather. More panels usually means a cheaper leather jacket (to produce). There are considerations like a bi-swing back, and armpit footballs which increase mobility for the aforementioned heritage jackets that are thick AF, but fashion jackets are usually thin enough to be comfortable either way.
How's the hardwear? Thin tiny weak zippers are the bane of my existence - they catch, they break, they jam, and they suck. I will not ever buy another jacket with a flimsy zipper. MFA seems to think YKK zippers are the GOAT, but there are some shitty YKK zippers out there. They should never be plastic, and even when they are metal, they should be ideally incredibly robust, and buttery smooth. Once you feel the heft of a schott zipper, you feel confident that you could zip it up and down a million times and still be fine. I've found Riri and excella zippers to be top notch - and often the brands put their own brand names on them so you can't tell anyways.
Smell. Good leather jackets just smell sexy af. And the crappy ones never smell good - toxic even. Gave a leather jacket to someone as a gift, and he commented on how it had given his entire close an amazing smell. Ofc he became a leather jacket convert after that.
The shape: There are various classes of leather jackets you should be aware of. Each has its own vibe - its up to you to decide if it fits your aesthetic.
Double rider: The classic biker cut, very cool, kind of aggressive and rebellious.
Moto: Like a biker but toned down. Still cool, a bit more versatile.
Trucker: Literally a trucker, like a denim trucker, but in leather. Very casual cool.
Bomber: Comes in all sorts of size, cuts, and collars. Probably the most versatile, and very casual. Kind of a wildcard bucket, theres so many types any jacket that not one of the above 3 are usually called a bomber.
Menswear-but-in-leather: Think leather peacoats, leather blazers, leather topcoats, leather shirts. Not a fan. Reminds me of oldschool gangsters or something. The meta seems to have moved on from these, and you'd look a little dated wearing it.
Experimental. You'll see some crazy shit man - these are the designer and avant-garde brands with crazy asymmetrical cuts and zipper configurations.
Of course theres also suede and nubuck that are completely different vibes that I won't get into. The best place to start playing around with leather jackets is the used market like ebay - get a jacket that will hold its value (i.e. you can sell it for the same or more than you bought it for) and churn them to discover what you like. A good leather jacket is a second skin, I've probably owned close to 50 leather jackets and slowly bought and sold them until 7 or so jackets that I'm completely in love with remained.
>>2773im glad the hype is dead
supreme always has quite a few nice pieces in each collection but they get overshadowed by basic shit with the red logo slapped on it
>>2788>>2790Maybe you're just talking about the general style with "too wide" yeah older suits aren't a slim fits as todays. I don't really think that's going to be a tailoring issue, more as you should just pick a suit in a style that fits what you want.
Basically the pattern itself dictates a lot of the fit.
All of you fashionistas should try taking a fashion class at your community college. I only did the first one. I was shit at sewing. Goddamn a industrial sewing machine is hard to operate. You'll gain appreciation for every garment factory. It's funny how every garment factory is labeled a "sweat shop." In the media just because it looks so haphazard, but that's just how it is. But yeah sewing is hard. Real manufacturing shit. Can't mess up for a second otherwise you did some irreparable mistake to the fabric. You wouldn't believe how fast those sewing machines go. First you are just going to be learning how to operate them on the slowest possible setting with your foot.
>>2804They're goofy and at the same time so so boring.
Rick Owens already did something similar to this but much better.
>>2810Unnecessarily hot image.
What were you wearing, can you describe it?
>>2816Wallets:
- File cards neatly (buisness, credit/debt, ect…)
- Keeps bills from crumpling or tearing too much, so useful if you use automated cash purchases like the self-checkout or vending machines.
- Sometimes have a signal reducing metal that supposedly keeps people from beeping your credit card info via their phone while standing in the middle of the crowd. I think the better solution is just not carry beepable cards on you in public, since you have to open your wallet eventually.
>>2826Idiotic channer race science
Aside from size and ensemble and grooming issues, they all look as presented in the "reality" pics
>>2830>Aside from size and ensembleso everything? like the description says the clothes are most probably pinned in the back so they hug the mannequin tight
the clothes dont get the same stacks in reality like they do on the pictures either
“When I think about pieces that have transcended time, been imitated thousands of times, and that continue to be relevant from a perspective of design, concept, and composition - only a few stand out among today’s disposable tendencies. Of those few garments that deserve a place in a museum of modern art there is YSL’s Mondrian dress, Mugler’s Armor corset, Margiela’s Saddle - Shaped Shoulder blazer, and this … the Blistered Lamb Biker by Rick Owens.
There is a clear complexity in every pattern of this jacket, and these converge in a poetic way to assemble quite a manifesting silhouette. The elongated sleeves are decorated with a corded ladder construction, and end in a raw wool lining. With a neck that is high to the chin, asymmetrical, and closed with a severe Raccagni zipper, the front of the jacket opens like a cataract of leather. The softness of the garment is enhanced by Rick’s most famous leather, which is washed and weathered to feel like a matte-waxed virgin wool. Jet black, dry, and incredibly docile.
Karlo Steel described this garment best during an interview, when he explained that this jacket “thinks it’s a sweater”. A perfect exercise in draping, that whispers exactly the ethos of the creator … “THE LUXURY OF NOT CARING.”
>>2859No one's stopping you from wearing those things bro. Put a choker on and slut it up.
You don't want to look back on your death bed and be like "I could have been so slutty but I chose to dress like I work in an office."
>>2859men are oppressed when it comes to alt fashion. I’m out here wearing black tactical boots over black jeans with silver chain accessories, black goth band tees or horror movie tees, black fingernails, silver ankh necklace, and I get one of my friends saying I only dress “vaguely goth” and another laughing at me for even suggesting that I fall into that subculture. Meanwhile all a woman has to do is throw on a pair of Chucks, fishnets, black skirt/shorts, *maybe* paint her nails black, and put on a fucking Thrasher Magazine tee and she’ll have dumbass simps going “YES ZOMG GOTH MOMMY!!!”
Granted, I do dress more Midwest emo 90% of the time, but holy shit, I’m not a cartoon character, I can dress more than one way and listen to more than one type of music.
>>2870If the shirt was tucked in and he was wearing pantyhose instead of thighhighs or the skirt was a bit longer, then this would look good.
It's not super hard to start dressing more androgynously or wearing women's clothes. You just gotta figure out what size you are and what works for you and shit. Hit a thrift store and start experimenting a bit.
Don't try to buy a whole new wardrobe at once, even if you find a list of "staples" that you think you like or whatever.
I would recommend experimenting some to develop your tastes and figure out what kind of wardrobe you would like.
Start going to thrift stores (and ebay - know your measurements as you won't be able to try on the clothes) and get a few pieces, maybe even try different styles or stuff you aren't sure if you'd like or not. Try and wear them. Evaluate, what are you actually wearing, what's working for you, etc. and let this guide future purchases. You will figure out what you like. As part of this, you will probably end up with some pieces you aren't into. As you bought used already, this isn't a big deal; they were cheap and you can just donate them back.
If you really don't want to put any effort into this, and just want to be comfortable and look normal, just wear some t-shirts (plain or non-obnoxious graphics), joggers, and shit. Just look around and see what the "normal" people around you are wearing and wear that.
the peak of uniqlo was when nigo served as content designer for the ut line and managed to generate some hype stateside (since uniqlo is perceived like old navy in japan where it's embarrassing to admit getting stuff there), but as is still the case, they have no idea how to allocate product to the west, and continually dilute any momentum they had/have by not supplying enough of what people actually want until they lose interest and focusing on offering shit merino sweaters in every color under the rainbow
anime tees has always happened with uniqlo, but the shonen jump collections when nigo was there were much more comprehensive and sold extremely well without them having to make considerations for things like "exclusivity" (which they dropped the ball on for all the streetwear stuff like the multiple kaws collections) and being able to sell volume with no backlash
this laid the foundation for how they've continued to do specific collections of anime tees where they still suck at meeting demand, the semi-recent jujutsu kaisen stuff comes to mind
also when nigo was director for ut, he established a lot of corporate relationships for uniqlo and it produced some of the most interesting collabs the brand did, but once he left most of the niche relationships died off
the anime/game shit is another case of just how detached japanese uniqlo corporate is from the world, they saw all the traction anime had globally during covid and think that's how they get people interested
to be fair uniqlo is predominantly focusing on southeast asian expansion right now so the weeaboo angle likely resonates with those nations, whereas when uniqlo was pushing through europe last decade (along with the states), it led to collabs like lemaire (which ended up expanding fully into the uniqlo u line now with lemaire controlling it), ines de la fressange, etc.
uniqlo continues to suggest they're all about staples and not fast fashion, and then they make stuff that doesn't suck occasionally each season that immediately sells out and never comes back, whereas you can be sure those shit packaged dry tees can be had in all colors at all times
they have no idea what they're doing globally as they give no independence to their foreign legs and have japan serve as the mothership; every decision is filtered through japan, a country with zero awareness of the outside world since they live in a bubble indefinitely
uniqlo continues to experience growth by just opening in new markets little by little and rising that initial hype, but they never buy their buildings and only rent so that the stores can be closed down at any time
>>2906How good it is probably depends a lot on where you live. And also what size you are. And what kinda stuff you're looking for.
You could always try out consignment stores. Some of them are not too much more expensive that thrift stores while having better stuff
alright fashing anons, your time to shine. We have yoots here. We are trying to reverse years of hot sofa habits and to foster touching grass habits. It's going well imo, we had 40 people 15-20 yo away from home camping at the sea shore, walking in the country like they came here on the Mayflower. The problem is that nobody will do anything that will risk getting their trainers or clothes dirty. That means nobody will walk on wet ground after rain, clean the ashes out of the fire, or walk in the rain. Next problem is that they will not wear shit that makes them look goofy. They all dress like ninjas, namebrand hoodies, name trainers and tapered black name sweat pants. We looked at some images and they eventually agreed that if they had a $300 techwear ninja rain *poncho and $200 waterproof boots and $200 fitted tapered waterproof rain pants they would walk and camp when it rains.
So, fashion, how tf do I get them fitted in rain wear that they will accept at $30 each instead of $700 each? They simply will not wear practical oversized stuff. They will wear something that looks like a poncho with tapered waterproof pants. I even tried to reverse psychologize them. "My gen X dad friends really love tapered pants too." It did not work.
*I bullied them to agree to the idea of a ninja poncho because it's something that can be cheap and be worn over normal clothes in rain.
My cheap solution for something waterproof for the legs is cheap black quick dry trainers, waterproof black neoprene socks (cheap) and cheap knee length rain gaiters. This means that they can wear their own clothes, their trainers do not get dirty, and there are no more excuses.
Thoughts, thinks and suggestions Fashion anons? Where do I source cheap black rain ponchos and the rest, in quantity, so that it will look acceptable to these gear hounds. It's hard to criticize them, they are just following the logic of the successful people they see who would not go out in the rain and dirt without $500 tech gear.
>>2946>>2947I love Demna tbh. His serious pieces are great and his ironic clothes are great new riches bait.
The Vetements DHL tshirt was performance art, and a bit of marketing, more than fashion. It's essentially saying
>We're popular enough that we can do whatever we want and people will buy itThe 'performance' is the act of the sale of the tshirt; wearing it afterwards is the person saying
>Yes, I overpaid of this tshirt with a DHL logo on it because I know what's relevant in current year in European fashionIt's reasonable to view it as a criticism of people paying obscene amounts of money for clothing because of artificial scarcity. It also generated alot of attention and news articles at the time because of how absurd it was. Then you can also view it as a piece of clothing which says
>I know that paying $500 for a screen printed tshirt that says DHL on it is retarded but I'm doing it for satirical purposes…. hehWhich makes you a retard anyway but you get a sense of elation at being 'self aware' unlike the other people around you. DHL is, or was, considered a joke in the fashion industry in Europe because they would frequently drop the ball on timely deliveries, hence why DHL in particular was chosen.
tl;dr It's satire and marketing that worked wonders.
>On the periphery of Shanghai’s central area lies a mall that houses small offices of fabric wholesalers. It is the sort of shopping I like to do – in which I consume inspirations in order to create. There are about two hundred or so companies in this mall, much smaller than its Guangzhou and Shaoxing counterparts that occupy several buildings, and a couple of post codes.
>In order to compete with one another in this expensive city, these wholesalers have to pick the best of the best from what the entire country has to offer, which is not an easy task. The result is that, within this small space, I can be looking at the best silk blends being made right now, to experimental wool treatments, to modern blends of fabrics that combine the best of what each yarn has to offer.
>Yet it pains me to say that very few of these fabrics will be seen by the typical consumers. On the rare occasions I pay a visit to physical stores – from fast fashion to sportswear to household luxury names – the range of textiles that I see are as diverse as a group of panda in captivity. The majority of customers are subjected to ten different shades of blue denim, sheer polyester chiffon dresses, lycra gym wear or ultra matte nylon rain shells. Though the colours and built quality may differ, without the aid of branding, these garments hardly possess any unique differentiation from each other. The more well-known a brand is, the less adventurous they become. As a result, most ordinary consumers are not aware of what they are missing.
>When I was in university, one of the major questions of international economics was globalisation and its effects. At the time, debates on whether globalisation will bring about convergence or divergence remained inconclusive; will we be seeing cultures merging into homogeneity, or will we be celebrating plurality in aesthetics and philosophies. Ten years later, we finally have the answer.
>Balenciaga of fifteen years ago made garments in beautiful, sometimes weird materials that few could replicate. Historic names like Fendi and Dior promulgated French lace and Scottish wools; Valentino with Italian silks. The age of goth ninja – as ridiculous as the term might sound – brought forth washed wools, jerseys and linens. Ann Demeulemeester showcased the thinnest washed lambskins as soft as a baby’s touch. Issey Miyake pushed pleated polyester while Comme des Garçons did wonders with its boiled wools and shrunken synthetics. I loved the leathers that Rick Owens experimented with from one season to the next. Those were also the days when Jan Jan van Essche and Damir Doma – renowned for their textured fabrics – were names to watch for. The world of fashion was richly diverse in its physical properties. Today, they would be considered out of touch with the post-modern, globalised post-pandemic world we live in. Mainstream fashion industry is now run with transnational-style corporatism and aesthetics, ie. corporatism style that has put the marketing cart before the horse of creativity, and aesthetics that turned people into walking advertising boards. Everything has to be flat, untextured and sterile.https://the-rosenrot.com/on-the-rising-homogeneity-of-textiles-in-fashion-industry/ >>2980buhh homogeneity buhhh globalization
if there's a recession and you're poor, then stop going to stores and make your own shit
people stopped caring enough to do street fashion outside of a few Asian cities and now we all dress in cotton blend t-shirts and denim jeans and sneakers
>>3002that's what 80-90% of the price tag is, tho
the brand
>>3005This is only true of certain brands like Louis Vutton. I handled a pair of jeans from them the other day and they felt like shit.
Buying for MSRP is generally a bad idea unless you're filthy rich anyway.
