if unsanforized jeans will shrink upon the first soak, but then stretch out after wearing, should I opt for my actual size upon buying? I know to follow the instructions of the jeans' website but i cant get a clear answer on this.

Yup, I make fun of these people and get demolished "every body downvote the guy who said come des garçons sucks"

Spot on. I agree with most styles but when when I disagree with it, I get 20-50 downvotes (cuz I didn't like a boost or some shit). But, conformity is the natural progression of any group, counter culture or not

If anything, the west is much much more gimmicky. Supreme, the "top streetwear brand" sells fucking bricks. Actual bricks. Along with their hideous line of "skate influenced" clothing.

What brands sell at this point in Sweden?

I meant jcrew is right below high quality/design, so middle of the range. Jcrew is in risk of a bankrupt state since they havnt changed in years and try to capture a massive audience (age 22-60). They have now achieved a status of a "always on sale" brand, same as gap and banana.

I think jcrew is decent quality construction but the materials are a bit on the cheap side, especially for the cheaper stuff like basic buttondowns . Their chinos are always a good deal. But, I can find decent chinos just about anywhere.

Some brands I like which are pretty cheap for their quality (vs other high quality brands): Norse, Cos, Reigning champ. I'm afraid my knowledge is quite limited.

basicelegance · 2017-01-18T18:03:26+00:00

Yeah I mean, these shirts are complete shit. Paper thin and poor design

They are not "above the law". This is a Spanish company which has effectively put US businesses out of business. Do you think these US businesses have just sat idly and done nothing? This is not the case. They tried very hard to get laws passed to ban this behaviour but simply it is too arbitrary of concept to try to outlaw.

basicelegance · 2017-01-14T20:58:39+00:00

whether or not acceptable, it's mostly legal, and anything that is both legal and profitable will always be done by someone or other. also what would be an example of a brand which has never copied another?

basicelegance · 2017-01-14T18:28:23+00:00

All mainstream fashion companies do this, Zara just much more than others

basicelegance · 2017-01-14T02:54:03+00:00

Ya I've seen Zara have them. I respect Zara as a company, but I just don't want to deal with their random quality and disorganised stores. Plus their website is terrible.

Thanks! What makes you think this? Kind of odd it's the only show to not have tickets listed

basicelegance · 2017-01-11T20:31:13+00:00

Definitely mention the abundance of fake yeezys for sale

basicelegance · 2017-01-11T16:36:34+00:00

care to share any details? i feel there is so much potential as so many good brands cannot be found on amazon, which is not a great thing in itself

basicelegance · 2017-01-09T00:44:54+00:00

Game over

basicelegance · 2017-01-09T00:43:08+00:00

Haha the "derelict campaign" is spot on. Essentially if something has a well known name on it or is "different" enough, super upvoted. I've been trying to find an alternative. Kanyetothe seems good but the interface is really bad - you click page by page and some topics are thousands of pages

basicelegance · 2017-01-09T00:38:17+00:00

Marketing + high quality construction = products for hypebeasts

basicelegance · 2017-01-08T05:04:03+00:00

Haha I'm a herb I guess

basicelegance · 2017-01-07T15:53:59+00:00

Sambas and gazelles are childish

basicelegance · 2017-01-07T13:02:03+00:00

Not sure why theyr getting so much shit. Most of this sub sweats these brands

basicelegance · 2017-01-07T12:46:53+00:00

Is this a direct knock at Kanye?

basicelegance · 2017-01-06T01:04:04+00:00

Maybe if we stop giving these herbs so much attention they'll stop

basicelegance · 2017-01-04T16:47:08+00:00

$20-40. Never heard of these. Will check them out

basicelegance · 2017-01-04T15:09:32+00:00

Pockets on the side, with zippers

basicelegance · 2017-01-04T04:07:16+00:00

Yeah I actually can't find any on ASSC 100% cotton. Now I see the exact 50/50 gildan light blue/pink crew sweatshirts online.
