The Fashion Thread

[CrimsonRockett]

I've been happy with the quality on my Express suits.

Own 5 of them aside from multiple button-ups, sweaters, and vests.

In a fashion thread... And doesn't even know what fast fashion is.




Google it, there are a lot of ethical and environmental concerns about it. Fast Fashion is now 40% of the market and like I said, the clothes are dirt cheap because they are designed to basically never be washed. Wear it twice, throw it away.

Men's Fashion trends do not change that much. The Pea & Great Coats for example have been around for 100+ years. There is no fear that next winter it will be out of style and you'll need a new coat, let alone, next month.... Or decade.

Most of Men's dress fashion is age appropriate 14-90, so in 5 years you won't look like a total dork still wearing a trench coat. As we've also seen young people can rock sweater vests just as well as gramps.

So yes, that Pea Coat from Forever 21 is $68 because it will last a month before the buttons fall off, then synthetic wool balls, the seams pull and pockets tear.

For long term accessories like coats, shoes, hats, belts, etc, it pays to do some research and buy quality. You'll save money and long better in the long run.

Never bought anything from them. I have had some Banna Republic stuff but felt, even on sale, it was over priced for what you got.

I was giving a cheaper option that I saw, you never know what others can afford you dumbfuck. .
I have a $120 coat and I and so have a $300 coat, both look amazing.
Fast fashion that you douche

FYI don't make the mistake of telling someone how they should dress, or what's the correct method, there is no right or wrong in fashion, this isn't the old far conservative boring peacoat thread.
Share what you got, answer questions and shut the hell up.

Are you fucking 12? Did you mom buy you those jackets?
Please show me where I told anyone what to do. You did not know what Fast Fashion was, I explained it in total sincerity. Feel free to Google it.

As far as affordability, Fast Fashion is not for the poor and down-trot. It's for middle class girls 12-30 that want to dump hundreds of bucks each month buying news clothes. Ever hear of the Economist theory of Boots? Poor man pays $100 a year for a pair of boots that lasts 1 year. Rich man spends $300 on a pair that lasts 5 years. In 10 years the rich man spent $600, the poor man $1,000.

It's called good advice, so STFU. Sorry I killed your money boner by saying it wasn't a good deal.

Also, Fashion is 100% about judging people! That's why we put them on runways, in magazines and have endless articles about what's hot and what's not. There are absolutely rules about Fashion Do's and Dont's. Don't believe me? Where a skirt with fishnets tomorrow, one sneaker, one boot, and a tucked in jersey. Report back what your bros think.

[GabeS14]

Just shut your trap lol
Your not giving me any advice, your just spewing dumb shit out..
I didn't say I didn't know what it was I was surprised at your dumb as comment, which was ignorant and just straight full of shit... you close minded dumb ass. Now go back to your man cave.. and shave that extra hairy chest and emo beard

FYI, I didn't ask for you opnion, I was giving advice myself.
Keep judging while I look good.
This is what I picture you like:trying to force your opinion of fashion on others...lol

Gabe, chill out man. We all make different amounts of money and have different places our money has to be spent. I for one cant afford $350 Samurai jeans so $35 Levi's are what I wear. I don't knock a dude for wearing either, maybe $350 jeans feel good on one's booty but my booty wont find out because I cant justify it. Some spend lots on clothes and little on cars and vice versa. Corbic was just schooling on some things, I don't think he meant to patronize you at all. Boots, belts, and winter-wear are one thing I spend a bit more money on though, same with watches.

sorry but,
That's my exact point I gave an example of a 200 a 100 and a $65 coat so since I do not know how much the guy that asked about coats is willing to spend, he has options to pick from Corbic is just doing his douchebag thing so I had react, And he schooled no one.
Because there was nothing be be taught.

Give him a break geez. What's the point of giving advice with that attitude? Fast fashion isn't so bad, you just have to know what to buy. It's also ironic that you mentioned Combatant Gentleman while talking about how bad fast fashion is. I'm pretty damn sure the people in China or whatever 3rd world country the clothes are being made at have the best conditions.

Interesting debate...

Any whooo.... Does any one know if ben Sherman shoes (sneakers) run big or small? Im a size 9 in vans. Online answers are mixed reviews and some are not clear on sneakers or dress shoes.

[DaiGurren]

Anybody order from Flightclub before, thinking about picking up some NMD R1s.
