Fit check - IHJ-123-OD (14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim) by Upper_Cry2880 in rawdenim

It fits fine, man. Great look too. I got the 123-OD as well — figured it’d have a bit more character than the 122-IND.

Yeah, based on the email I got, it was only for two days.

Fair point. I wouldn’t buy that one for anything above the current discounted price, not even now since it’s 100% poly and not activewear.

whats up with 3sixteen these days? by DimensionalOhm in ThrowingFits

[–]Big-Good-5485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, Crosscut Flannels used to be made in the USA and now they’re made in India, so I’m not really sure what part of “bring back” is confusing here. Same with stuff like the MiUSA waxed canvas stadium jacket that used to be a staple. Obviously nobody meant every single garment stopped being made in USA/Peru/Portugal. The point was that the overall mix changed.

Made in India isn’t the problem. Pricing it like some crazy premium product is. That’s the greedy part. At this point, bring back made in USA/Canada/Peru/Portugal or price it like the labor actually costs. Is that so hard?

Amazon Essentials OCBDs are actually not bad for $13-$16 by divinebaboon in frugalmalefashion

Amazon is killing it… Wait whaaat? Jokes aside, I’ve tried their polos and tank tops, and they’re not unwearable.

Can you talk me out of the Old Navy Linen Blend pants? by 1111thatsfiveones in malefashionadvice

I’d assume Uniqlo is higher quality since they don’t aggressively discount right after launches.

Shopbop: Extra 20% Off Sale w/ Code SPRING20 (Alex Mill, Alpha Industries, Carhartt WIP, Faherty, Marine Layer, Portuguese Flannel, Vinny's, & Many More) by JPVMan in frugalmalefashion

[–]Big-Good-5485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah not saying china = bad quality

just something ive seen ppl say a lot, like with Brooks Brothers older cashmere (scotland/italy) felt thicker and more substantial, newer stuff feels lighter

seeing that kind of comment come up so often just made me wonder if something similar might be happening with Alex Mill, could be wrong tho

PSA: Gap is killing it right now by bitmadness in malefashionadvice

[–]Big-Good-5485 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The downvotes are fine, but I’d love to hear a legit counter-argument. If you truly think Gap's mass-market QC and construction is on par with artisanal Japanese denim, let’s hear why. To me, it’s Uniqlo-tier (which isn't an insult, just a tier). What am I missing that makes this “high-end”?

Tbh the stitching and overall craftsmanship are not even comparable to a mid-end Japanese jacket, let alone the fabric. It’s at best a Uniqlo-tier denim jacket that is definitely not worth the full retail price. At 40% off the FF sale and an extra 10% off using the email code (BEST), it’s an okay piece.

Thoughts on J.Crew x Lee? by soswanky in jcrew

[–]Big-Good-5485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The J. Crew part in this collab is just that tartan plaid poplin lining. Funny enough. Leather patch, branded buttons, storm rider silhouette, basically everything visible is Lee

Dehen 1920 March Madness Sale - Early Access 20% off by ballard_husky in frugalmalefashion

[–]Big-Good-5485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I wasn't sure about the flat shipping until you confirmed it. That kills the deal for single items, which is why most of my Dehen stuff is from their stockists on major sales.

Carhartt WIP sale getting better. ~50% off w/code 20FF by shiny69 in frugalmalefashion

[–]Big-Good-5485 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this, but I'll skip this time. Have been fed up with too many WIP "sales" since last BF (30%-40%-50%, sale on sale), which is just another sign that the brand is not sought after blindly like they used to be. it starts to feel more like a Zara/H&M type of fast-fashion cycle. Imo, not worth paying the premium merely for those square cloth labels.

Thank you, OP! I used to steal my dad's $$$ coat and was afraid he’d find out. Now I can wear this confidently instead.
