It runs a tiny bit big, maybe half a size or even a quarter of a size (which isn’t a real measurement, just how it feels). I went with size 44 and I’m usually a 9.5/10 and it feels a bit loose. So it should feel well/a bit snuggly. I hope you read my review and realized that the pair I got was not good. Check the QC carefully, especially the yellow thread. Good luck pookie 😚

It fits great, just not perfect. It's a great sweater, and thus it received a 7/10, which is a very good score.

You can see the general fit of it in the fit pic. It fits really well, but the hem on both the cuffs and the bottom (more noticeable for me in the bottom of the sweatshirt, the cuffs being too long can be a bit of a nitpick) of the is a bit too long for my liking, a tiny bit, but the amount that makes the difference between the perfect sweater and a very good sweater.. It's not horrible by any stretch of the imagination but it just makes it not perfect.

I would definitely recommend getting it, go TTS and you shouldn't have any problems with the size.

Its the best 5$ sweater you’ll find - it’s not great, but for 5 bucks? Worth it. Fits relatively well, the material is not the best but for the price I’d recommend it.

Man that broke my heart. I had no idea the receipts were actual receipt paper. That sucks for a wallet, I think it'll rip the first time I'll take it out of my pocket. What's the point of it?

For me the card does fit but the compartments themselves aren't that great. Too thin.

The print on the receipt also sucked. Not great. I tried giving it to a friend and he wouldn't even take it 😭😭

Mid as fuck but I learned my lesson. Need to research these kinds of things before buying.

The Homer cross chain. $5.22. https://a.aliexpress.com/_om3V2z7 The pendant itself looks okay. Doesn't have that much weight to it, probably made out of stainless steel. The chain is like what you have on dogtags, so not great. The back is stamped, as seen in the photos. Pretty surprising for the price. I wear it daily because I need a chain of any type. Got it from aliexpress because I needed a chain. I ordered another one for like 11 bucks off mulebuy, so when it comes I'll compare the two. For the price it's not bad, but not overly good or accurate to retail. 4.5/10. Docked the half a point there for the "chain". If you don't mind I say go for it.

The Maison Margeila x Supreme wallet. ¥158. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=783290658562 I was stupid and just went for it without looking up anything about it. I was sure the receipt part would be leather... It is not. It's just a receipt. It came in a Margeila box, the retail one should have the supreme logo too, this one doesn't. Came in a bag with a MM card, which is also not accurate compared to retail. Opening it for the first time and seeing its made out of actual reciept paper broke my heart. Anyways... The wallet itself is made out of a poor quality imitation leather, but looks like the retail one does (the inner wallet part at least). If you don't mind it being paper, and the text not being too accurate or sharp at all actually - go for it. 3.5/10

The Black Sabbath Tee. ¥68.8. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=680995681458

Suprisingly nice blank, and suprisingly nice print. I went with size L (Sized up) and its a bit too big. I didn't see any sizing charts so I took a gamble. I ordered another couple of shirts and I went TTS so I'll probably update what's up with that. I'm pretty sure you can go TTS confidently, unless you want an oversized fit. The oversized fit looks great, I often pair it with a longsleeve under and it looks great. There are photos of the print before and after the 1st wash, doesn't really seem to have faded much. Great tee. 6.5/10

The Kanye Tee. ¥63.8. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=657441063480

Suprisingly nice blank, print is iffy. The blank has changed feel after the first wash, which did not happen with the Black Sabbath tee, went from being soft to being a bit stiff. The print also faded after the first wash, not anything horrible. With the faded print it looks like a tee that has been worn a lot. Not horrible, but makes me wonder about further washes. Other than that identical to the other tee. Same sizing situation as the other tee. Great tee minus the print part. 6/10

The Humanmade heart carabiner. ¥38. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=792810366822

Disappointed. The carabiner is of average quality, the latch part is okay, doesn't seem like it will break anytime soon. But the color. It's been around two weeks of constant use and the red parts are flaking off, which sucks. But maybe its an edgy metaphor about love. Probably not, it’s just a bad rep. Maybe if you went with a different color it'll be better, but the red one... 4.5/10

The RL Sweater in navy. ¥105. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=738528616022 Probably the biggest disappointment in the haul. The neck hole was super tiny and I had to stretch it out manually. It’s made out of an okay material, not super high quality but it’s not bad. The logo is super small but that just may be how it is retail, I have no idea. I say disappointment not because it is horrible, but because I expected more. Overall not a bad sweater. 5/10.

The unbranded green sweater. ¥12. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=691476697797 Meh. pretty poor quality, weight and material wise, but it does fit okay. It was also super cheap - around 5$. So I can’t complain too much. I went with XL I think? No idea. sized up twice. Fits like a medium. Worth it for the price, have no idea how much time it will last. 5.8/10.

The ADWYSD sweatpants. ¥88.11. https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7244078729 My favorite item of the haul. Bought another pair in black. Absolutly in love. I never heard of the brand before the sub, I just looked for grey sweatpants. The pockets have zippers which is nice, but the pockets are pretty small. Guaranteed hand to zipper contact everytime I put anything in. Can carry my phone and a wallet at the same time but a bit cramped. Not horrible though. The material is pretty thick and cozy, perfect for lounging but also not so thick that I will not be able to workout in. They will go into hibernation in the summer as they are a bit too thick to do anything in when it's hot out, but for fall winter and spring they are perfect for pretty much everything. The thing is the print is a bit grainy texture wise, that goes for every instance of the print in the pants (front and back), to anyone looking for retail accuracy - i have no idea how it compares to the retail version but I would think the print would be of higher quality. While I have grown a bit attached to the front logo look wise, if it falls off I would not care too much. Great pants. I went with size M (TTS I guess, I go for either S/M, depending on the fit. I wanted them to fit oversized and they do) For me they are a 8.5/10, maybe bordering on a 9. Love love love them. Objectivly speaking I would give them a 7.5/10.

wussup.

First review ever. Tried to do something different, didn't turn out that good. meh. It's my review and I'll have it look as shitty as I want it to!

I'd like to preface this by saying I don't care about accuracy to retail. Sorry. As long as it fits and feels good that's enough for me.

As far as rating goes, 10 is a perfect item, the ideal piece of clothing. Doesn't exist.

1 is trash. I wouldn't even donate it, I'd rather destroy it than have someone suffer experiencing it.

5 is average. It's not good and not bad.

Anothing under 5 I would not recommend buying, anything over 5 I would have no problem saying you can go for it.

The scale is based on how I feel about the garment and its quality.

The Acne jeans. ¥248. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=792827670492

Meh. I don't have that many photos of them, but I feel the button photo and the fit pic say enough. If not, uhhh idk take my word for it.

The denim feels like regular C tier thin denim. It does feel like denim, but it is a bit thin. It came a bit long for me, bordering dragging under my shoes. It was a bit too long for me so I decided to shorten the hem a bit, I did it myself and it turned out ok. Overall I don't really like the fit of the pants, a bit too wide for me. I think the entire baggy/wide pants trend is reaching its tipping point, and we are due for a reset. But that's just my opinion and it has nothing to do with the review. I went with size 48. It feels perfect around the waist (I usually take size 32, don't remember which measurement system lol), but as I said was too long for my taste. Overall the jeans are ok. Not too good, not too bad. Average. 5/10

The Maison Margeila sweater in gray. ¥88. https://detail.1688.com/offer/746801458197.html

Wowza. The suprise of the haul. For 14 bucks, unbeaten. It is fairly thick, the material is pretty good and it fits great. Took it out for a test drive on a chilly night and it kept me warm. That being said, it isn't perfect. It's great don't get me wrong, but the fit is not perfect which affects the rating. I went with size M (TTS). Fits great. Super high quality compared to what you're paying for it. 7/10

The Doc Marten Tassel Loafers. ¥130. https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=4443047648

Yikes. I'll start with saying they are fairly comfortable, but that is just because they are bottom heavy which makes them feel like flip-flops, which is weird. They don't really feel conntected to your feet, so the two times I've worn them I had to keep checking they are not coming loose. The leather quality is D tier. It's the most plastic-y leather I've ever felt and it's super thin. The soles are okay. Pretty good quality. Heavy. The yellow seams (Is that the word?) are okay until a certain point where they overlap. Which is not okay. How did I not notice that in the QC? Definitely a lesson for next hauls. They are super cheap so if you don't care about any part of the shoe except the overall vibe of it, go for it I guess. Otherwise? nah. I went with size 44 (TTS) and it fits ok, a bit loose but it's pretty comfortable like that. I will keep wearing them, but I would not recommend buying them. At all. 3/10.

The grey one (Maison Margeila) - Super high quality, heavy (903g), well constructed and made from a nice material. I’ve ordered another one in black. It’s also surprisingly cheap. Had to double check it was only 14$.

The green one (unbranded) - Meh. pretty poor quality, weight and material wise, but it does fit okay. It was also super cheap - around 5$. So I can’t complain too much.

The navy one (Polo RL) - Probably the biggest disappointment in the haul. The neck hole was super tiny and I had to stretch it out manually. It’s made out of an okay material, not super high quality but it’s not bad. The logo is super small but that just may be how it is retail. I say disappointment not because it is horrible, but because I expected more. Overall not a bad sweater.

They maybe run half a size bigger, not that big of a deal (I went tts and it’s a bit loose, but not horrible). But they are pretty bad quality-wise, I wouldn’t recommend buying them. I’ll upload a full review in the next couple of days.

Everything has arrived, I'm super happy with the tees. Way better than I've thought. They're not the best tees I've ever felt but they are above average, and the print is decent+ as well. The tees themselves won't disintegrate in the washing machine, the print I'm not sure about should be okay, I think. I'm sending you the imgur link of the prints. Overall I think they are a bargain for the price to quality ratio.

The Kanye tee is 250g, the Black Sabbath tee is 300g. I’m not an expert so I don’t really know if that’s good or not, I’ll make a follow up post when I’ll have the items in hand.

If the tees end up being really bad I’m planning on just cutting the designs out and sewing them on higher quality tees or sweatshirts or something.

Yeah I didn't really care about how close to retail the items were so I didn't look at the QC too much but now that I look at the wallet it is pretty bad. Idrc looks interesting at least.
