It looks plain boring, but comfy as fuck with a good quality. But isn't what i'm looking for

Quality is a myth.

Clothing is clothing is clothing.

Materials and cuts that are unique by luxury brands are selling you a luxury product not something that’s designed to last forever.

You can get high “quality” goods from usage specific brands. For example:

-high quality leather jackets come from motorcycle brands like Lewis Leathers, etc. they are designed to withstand a tumble and provide resistance to abrasion.

You don’t buy quality in fashion brands.

>You don’t buy quality in fashion brands
You buy quality and status. A brand acquires status by the quality of the products they sell, this is how you earn the trust of your customers; winning the competition with better products and better designs. A luxury product it's designed to be good and last longer than other products of the same category. You are wrong.

this is a meme. when you touch a Loro Piana sweater you wonder why you've ever worn anything else (until you look at the price tag which is when you remember why), that is quality. the stitching will be perfect too.
sure, it will rip when you fall out of a tree or get car bombed but that is not what you're looking for in a sweater

That may have been true years ago. but these days its all about exposure and name drops and whos wearing what. It's no longer about quality.

in low IQ nouveau riche circles (normies, actors, athletes, singers, rappers, etc.)
in fashion circles and high performing circles (financial circles, old money that have been raised well, basically people who drive Volvo and Audi station wagons etc.) it is still about quality

>>13739762
and btw it has always been like this, see Dapper Dan, Versace and '90s rappers, Louis Vuitton, etc. some circles like tacky clothing and some circles like good looking high quality clothing

For menswear, military surplus. It is what most designers steal from anyways. That and good thrift store finds practically drive fashion, since designers use this as well as mood books to inspire collections. If you can afford it, make your own clothes like raf. Pay attention to what designers wear, not what they put on the runway.

Quality = function + longevity of wear + comfort

That’s it. That’s all it boils down to in clothing.

Does it do the job it’s designed to do? Will it last a long time doing this job?
Will it feel comfortable as it does this job?

You can find those tick marks and also stay FAR away from luxury goods.

I own some stupidly expensive items that are far from comfortable or long lasting. I’m also particularly caution when I wear these items so as not to fuck them up beyond repair.

Fashion is not designed with quality in mind.

this goes without saying but ill state the obvious

Pure Blue Japan
Momotaro

Probably some Japanese brand that doesn't' sell clothes outside of Japan and only makes 5 of every item every season.

The idea that cheaper clothes don't last is a myth outside of shoes or physical activities. I still wear jackets and sweaters I bought from Uniqlo in 2012 when I was poor and they look great.

I'd challenge your definitions of quality as it relates to fashion. I see quality in fashion as an intersect between design, materials, and construction. Longevity is a function of those three things but does not necessarily define quality.
As you pointed out, there are stupid expensive items made from luxurious materials with interesting designs and construction that are not meant to be especially durable.

There is another class of clothing that focuses on construction, performance, and durability (outdoor gear etc). This clothing can also be fashionable but it is not fashion.

When you try and overlap too much you get something like Acronym, where the materials and design are top notch but the construction and build quality are so subpar that the clothing is not particularly functional or durable.

Right. The Japanese as a culture place a higher value on craftsmanship. Even their 'mall tier' brands like Beams and Uniqlo have good quality stuff.

your post reeks of self loathing. "basically people who drive Volvo and Audi station wagons" had me dying though lol

>>13739590
I thought this dude had some hooves

>>13739626
Second this.
Cucinelli is not far behind either.

quality is a buzzword

>>13739598
Ahahaha
AHAAAHAHAAAAHHHAAA
>t.

I hope you didn't post that logo to indicate quality.
Because if that's your standard for quality then you need to return your daddy's credit card and leave forever.
