These threads are among the absolute worst, but I can't report them because they actually have to do with clothing.

>>10399082
This

if they were just titled "menswear thread" and weren't filled with tryhards who'd perfected the craft of pretending to be old money through countless hours shitposting on /biz/ they would be alright though

not that it matters that you can't report, we've had a racebait thread up for days now.

I feel like it's gotten to the point where the majority of /fa/ users don't actually know anything about fashion. Considering finding somewhere else to discuss things honestly.

>>10399048
given that burberry scarves are £300

>>10399301
Your point? Thats not a lot for a cashmere scarf. Any mongoloid in my city wears Burberry scarves which is hilarious considering the atrocious quality of them. If you didnt know: Burberry cashmere is trash and the way most of their scarves are woven is bottom of the barrel tier. Basically like all the shit this embarassment of a label sells.

>>10399321
Just because you have wealth doesn't automatically mean you know the quality of what you are buying.

The statement was regarding wealth not related to quality. LV, RL, Burberry and lots of other famous top tier brands charge a lot for some of the products they sell just because it has a special label on it.

A majority of the neuvo riche mofos no very little about the quality. Take the arabs in london for example; My mates sister works in harrods and is always going on about how they always want the limited edition LV stuff with the label blatantly plastered all over the product not caring about the actual quality of the product. People who have class and have been accustomed to the fine details of quality wouldn't be so quick to buy a lot of the shit some fashion houses sell.

LV must be making a bomb though no wonder one of their shares cost 100 euros

>>10398908
I know a guy whose dad was a director at a well-known New York investment bank. He and his father both wear gym clothes most of the time and bespoke suits with Hermes ties when they absolutely have to dress up. They're big fans of Nike and Crocs when they can get away with it, including on private jet flights ike the poser in OP pic.

>pic related, two billionaires fighting in the street like the animals they are

Money doesn't always mean culture.

>>10399378
The point is that rich people who care about expensive shit wouldnt buy Burberry but something like Loro Piana. I dont even expect them to know Colombo etc. But Loro Piana is very, very well known. Burberrys scarves arent only bad, they arent even expensive unless you but Prorsum, which are so expensive because of seasonal designs. Or hell, buy fucking Hermes. Overpriced as fucking cashmere as well but the brand certainly has a significantly better reputation than the workwear trash that is Burberry.

Just seeing anything of that junk label makes me go mental. I simply cant fanthom how this shit company is still in business.

>LV must be making a bomb though no wonder one of their shares cost 100 euros
Every single one of these conglomerates makes bank because they sell with ridiculous profit margins. Simply checking designer profits can tell you who does and doesnt sell shit quality. Kering, which is the holding behind Gucci, Bottega, YSL for example made 1.2bn in profits last year. Thats more than 12% of their revenue. Basically the same applies for LVMH (LV, Dior etc.) which made almost 4bn in profits.

>>10399443

Me and my mate were discussing some brands that have been going downhill lately and have their labels tarnished by the degenerates that wear them. (Im not a posh cunt or anything and actually grew up surrounded by hoodrats)

gucci, LV, Ralph polo range and versace all have their shitty belts worn by benefit sams chicken mofos even if they are counterfeit.

But at the end of the day 'money knows money' with regard to people with class will be able to tell a quality cardigan even without its label showing, like one of ralphs purple label range.

if ur ever in london fam lemmie hook u up wid dat 33% harrods discount so you can get dat Burbryryryry scarf u get me fam??!?!one

>>10399525
Worst part about Harrods is that I can get all the shit they sell for 30% discount simply by not paying their ridiculous GBP premium. Like, seriously. Almost all the stuff they sell is overpriced due to shit conversion rates. Then again, LaneCrawford is an even bigger offender. Okini went full retard recently as well but right now I think that it might not even be Harrods I was talking about but fucking Selfridges.

>gucci, LV, Ralph polo range
Well, to be fair: RL polo range is the cheap version of the label. Its explicetly being sold for poor people. Like Paul Smith London, with the Mainline collection being light years above all the other trash in terms of design, quality etc. Or Burberry London, Z Zegna etc. Most brands have these bottom feeder labels of which they make so much fucking money due to outrageous profit margins.

However, Gucci and LV are so retardedly well known for luxury goods that they dont even need these sort of subsidiaries. Then again, LV also sells backs for 500 bucks so even poor people can afford it. Real quality and luxury isnt known. Best example are watches. Most people probably think that Rolex is the best shit you can buy for money.

Oh look, another brand that LVMH drove into the ground.

>>10401224
Was just about to post this. Although I think a Berluti wholecut is still a very good shoe, the rest of the brand has been in a decline.

w2c good quality cashmere scarfs under £300 then unlike 'trash burberry'? Genuinly interested.

Looking for something in a 'Camel Beige' colour

>>10402034

>>10402034
Colombo, Johnston's of Elgin, and Loro Piana are all good brands.

Whoops, didn't see that. Forget Loro Piana then.

As if fa users ever knew anything about fashion. I thought everyone knew that this board was mostly for shit posting with the very occasional relevant thread. This is probably the worst fashion forum other than a few gems you find here and there like info from the slp model, everything else is shit.

>>10399567
Rolex definitely is one of the best watches you can buy in the price range though. Yeah they are popular amongst plebs, but they do make a very high quality watch.

>>10402829
I'd prefer Omega or JLC, but Rolex definitely make a quality watch.

>>10402829
>but they do make a very high quality watch
No they dont. Rolex is bottom of barrel tier in terms of high end quality. Any 'cheap' watch made by Patek, A Lange, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin gives you significantly more for your money than any Rolex.

Its a shitty meme lifestyle brand. Basically like LV, thats why its so popular. Retards think its the best of the best. Rolex is as close to being the pinnacle of watch making as LV is to being the pinnacle of tailoring.

>>10402854
>I just got into high end watches and feel the need to meaninglessly namedrop in order to show my "knowledge"

Shut the fuck up, people like you are the worst
The fact that you think PP, ALS and the rest are the pinnacle of watchmaking makes you look like a retard.

>>10402854
>in the price range
If you know shit about watches you wouldn't mention Rolex in the same breath as any of the brands you mentioned. He clearly specified in the price range, and that's accurate.

>>10400907
no, balding from the middle out is not /fa/

>>10398908
Supreme gentleman core

>>10402870
Your comments hold no value considering that you unironically value meme lifestyle brands like Rolex.

>>10402873
He responded to a post in which I specifically pointed out how a lot of people who buy high end brands dont even know that the brands that they are buying arent even high end. I pointed out watches as the perfect example because most of the people who buy Louis Vuitton probably also think that Rolex is the pinnacle of watch making.

Thats what my post was about. Just because this little imbecile jumps into an argument saying 'lyl bud thez gud 4 prizeraynge' doesnt mean that the shit he spouts holds any value whatsoever. If he jumps into a discussion he should stay on topic. Theres literally no merit to me saying that Casio produces a good watch for its price range when thats not what the argument was about.

>>10402900
>>10402873 here. True, Rolex isn't top of the range and that's what you said, with the added context you're in the right. But to make a counter-point, only people into horology to some extent would know of PP, AP, A Lange, and VC. None of these brands have the marketing of Rolex. And to some degree in the public eye, that makes them the best. Just like how some people would consider F.P. Journe, Philippe Dufour and Hajime Asaoka to be the best, and would scoff at people who consider and of the previously mentioned companies to be the best.

>>10402964
one of the previously mentioned companies*

>>10402964
Thats the point that my innitial post was making. What makes stuff great is marketing. Thats why the kid in the OPs pick is wearing a Burberry scarf. Its marketing. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of cashmere processing and accessiblity of <14micron fibres will know that Burberry scarves are fucking garbage compared to several alternatives. The guy could afford the best but settles for shit because, thanks to marketing, hes under the impression that what he owns already is the best.

Then again, this shit applies almost all people out there, especially the poor ones. Probably why Beats by Dr. Dre actually sell.

>>10402985
That's true, but you need to be informed to avoid being a victim of marketing. At some point researching everything becomes unfeasible. That's part of the reason why people settle for brands like Rolex. It's not as good as the marketing team claims it is, but it's not an objectively bad watch. So people settle because consumer choice causes more stress than just giving in to trends and marketing.

Viola Milano
Johnston of Elgin
Berg & Berg

>>10402848
In that price range, I'd definitely go for a JLC. A Reverso or a Master Control/Master Ultra Thin can be found for <€3000 in very good condition.

>>10402848
Personally I went with Tudor.
It's wearing a Rolex without people realizing/asking if its a fake

>>10403027

Black Bay? Pelagos?

What does /fa/ think of NOMOS?

>>10403041
Black bay, the blue one.
No flashy red/gold bullshit.

I like the Nomos, but isn't it a homage?

>>10403046
Not the person you replied to but the Metro is a grail to me.

>>10403055
If only I could have such a cheap grail watch. I'm eyeing an F.P. Journe as my grail.

>>10403046
>I like the Nomos, but isn't it a homage?

No idea, I'm not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to watches. I just like the clean, simple design on their watches.

If I'd be wealthy though, there'd be many other watches I'd be looking at, from Royal Oaks to Calatravas, Saxonias to Portogheses...

Considering buying this JLC though >>10403041

>>10403076
A. Lange & Söhne will definitely be the company I buy my next watch from
Their Saxonias are beautiful.

>>10403085
The only problem with the Saxonias is that they're quite large for someone like me, with puny wrists.

That's why I'm thinking a small JLC or a Calatrava would sit well on my arm. The problem, however, is that you'd have to shell out at the very least €7000-8000 to get even a decent Calatrava.

The JLC I posted earlier can be bought for €2000-3000, almost brand new, with certificate, box and all.

>>10403046
There's a long history of the Bauhaus design that is commonly argued about over whether Nomos did it first, or other German brands.

However, a lot of this has disappeared, because Nomos is frankly the most common maker of the Bauhaus design, and is well well respected.

You may be thinking of Rodina a chinese made copy of the Nomos bauhaus design

>>10398934
w2c right shoes

>>10403244
I was actually thinking about a non asian brand.
Maybe Stowa, but I can't think of it right now.

>>10403266
Like I said, there's been a lot of history of that Bauhaus design, but the modern day its considered that Nomos produces the best.

Lange and Sohne also have some claim to that design as well, but I dont think they make any modern version of it.

>>10403257
Monk strap boots/shoes in desert suede. Can't tell which brand though.

>>10402848
I'd argue that JLC is in a bit higher of a price range, but as I said "Rolex is one of the best". I love the JLC Master Compressor series.

>>10402854
Yeah no, you probably just started to learn about watches and are lashing back at Rolex. Once you learn a bit more you will realize that Rolex is extremely respected for making a very quality timepiece.

Also PP, AL&S, AP, VC, ect. are not in the same price range as Rolex, not even their "cheap" offerings. In the price range that Rolex covers, there are not many better offerings.

>>10404275
That said I don't plan on owning a rolex for a while as it would be pretentious for someone of my age to own one. Thats why I bought a Panerai instead, its less well known.

Hey I actually have a Johnston's cashmere scarf in grey. I can't remember how much it cost me but my mom has a burberry scarf and the fabric on them looks/feels pretty damn similar. Though I'm no cashmere expert/

I don't think she paid full price for the burberry though, similar amount to my johnstons i think

>>10403257

idk try tweeting mark francis vandelli or something?

you want people to think you're rich?

>>10399118
My upper class nobility friend has a ring with his family crest on his pinky finger, but I guess he's trash

>>10406726
The scarves I posted a picture of were from Berg & Berg, one of my most favorite shops. A lot of their cashmere products are produced by either Johnston's or small italian ateliers. And their products are very fairly priced.

>>10406743
>shitty shirt, shitty cargo pants, and like a hublot or something with maui jim sunglasses

People won't think you're rich, even with the Hublot. They'll just think it's a fake. Or gay.

Gucci jacket, versace sunglasses

Can we stop arguing and post some fits?

>>10406767
nah dude, every asshole in flip flops, cargo shorts, over the top case dia. watch, and shitty sport oriented polarized sunglasses chance are they're wealthy

just walk onto an airport and look for the 7 figure plane in a hangar (there is always one in a sea of shitty cesnas) and you'll see some douchebag in like a yellow lambo dressed like horsefuck getting into it

>>10407298

chavs don't wear it anymore, I don't think its been assosciated with them for quite a few years now.

Kids from wavey garms and streetwear kids buy some of the old over the top branded burberry hats/shirts to stand out.

i don't think a scarf would be considered tacky, as long as its the only thing with the burb pattern youre wearing, especially if its not the standard beige check

>>10406762
Yes, he's trash. Sorry.

He's in good company though.

>>10406790

>>10406790
This is accurate. I went to private schools all my life and I could immediately tell which kids are lower middle class kids struggling based off of how thought out their outfits were on free dress days. The super rich kids didn't give a fuck about fashion since they had nothing to prove.

>>10398924
They both look like they're just trying really hard to look rich. His beard is super shitty and his face lacks dignity and confidence. FAKE RICH FORSURE

>>10398908
I don't see how any of this can be accurate.

Nobody stays rich by frivolously spending all of their money on expensive clothes. All the rich people I know just dress normally.

The way I see it, this is nothing but a stereotype perpetuated by the media to get you to buy into the fad and spend your money on stuff you don't need to make someone ELSE rich.

Whenever I see people dressed like this, I assume that they are just trying too hard.

i agree with everyone who replied to this post.
Despite being the most commonly known 'luxury' watches, Rolex does have a strong pedigree, which is what people are buying into.
Yes, most of their watches aren't commonly in the 50k price range that most Pateks and etc are, but they have time and tested watches, as well as a significant history in producing consistently impressive innovations in watches

It seems like watch enthusiasts go through three stages when it comes to Rolex:

Stage 1: I LOVE IT, BEST BRAND EVER

Stage 2: It's FUCKING GARBAGE compared to the holy triangle PP, AP & VC.

Stage 3: They make good watches, even though there are better producers out there. At the very least Rolex can take pride in doing so much of the work inhouse.

Guys, the thread is wealthcore. As in wealth, not riches. There's a difference. Chris Rock said it best:

No, new money is a culture, but old money, the kind that is passed down generations, is.
