how the fuck am I supposed to read that as?

CAV EMPT

>>15396520
cringe zoomer brand made to cash in on hypebeast hipsters and people who are retarded enough to think jun takahashi is a good designer

>>15396625
he's not involved with them, that's a different Japanese guy

>>15396520
Most of their pieces are pretty unique and the quality is great. The tshirts are expensive but the sweaters and outerwear our worth it

>>15397569
i know but the same people who think jun takahashi is a good designer eat cav empt up.

>>15396520
I'd say based.
Every piece of clothing I've owned from them is incredibly high quality and personally I enjoy how their shirts and hoodies fit so boxy. Cant say I'm a fan of 100% of their graphics but the majority of them are quite unique and not too flashy. Not a super well known brand where I live, its pretty rare that someone on the street will recognze CE, at least where I live. Overall great brand, from the most recent leaks It looks like their next season is gonna be dope as fuck. Picrel is my most recent cav pickup, comfy af.

>>15397597
??? No they dont

>>15397597

>Hating on Jun

Why tho, Undercover may be going of the deep end, but to discount Jun, thats just fucked up

>>15397627
jun's literally a hack who has just a watered down chink version of raf simons that uses google translate.
>television collab
literal h&m tier logo slapping on a bomber and pants.

>>15396625

When are we going to go back to bullying people with cringe takes on this board? Jun Takahashi designed this:

https://vimeo.com/387892924

You're a dipshit. He's possibly the only designer in """streetwear""" with any actual design chops. If you think he's a bad designer show me what you think is good design. Or better yet don't even develop an opinion on things when you're an obvious dumb cringe zoomer pea brainlet. C.E. is based too. Go look up who Sk8thing and Toby Feltwell actually are. They probably couldn't possibly be further from "zoomer" if they tried. Two of the biggest OG's in Japanese streetwear. Sk8thing straight up designed the Bape camo almost 30 years ago. You're a moron, sit down.

>>15397634

>jun's literally a hack who has just a watered down chink version of raf simons

Where the fuck do you even get opinions like this? Raf Simons has literally never done anything on a level like pic related in his entire life. Of all the people to use as an example of a "non-hack" you picked the guy whos entire career is putting the joy division logo on shit? I'm pretty sure Raf hasn't touched a sewing machine in decades. The only degree he has is in industrial design. He interned at Walter Van B. and then started his own line. He's self taught and it shows. Meanwhile Jun is a Bunka masters graduate who's hand-finishing shit minutes before it hits the runway. Raf is the ultimate idea guy. Jun is an actual legitimate clothes-maker in every sense of the term. You're an actual moron for judging him based on the easy merch style stuff like t-shirts and coaches jackets he does every season to pay the bills.

https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/fall-2013-ready-to-wear/undercover#all-seasons

Click on any of them dipshit, Jun's worst seasons still have more actual design, creativity, craftsmanship, and thought put into them than most of Rafs best.

>>15397675
go to sleep jun

>>15397678
he's right tho, even if it was jun

>>15397675
agreed

im a cav fanboy but i can admit their stuff is extremely hit or miss. ive disliked a majority of the recent seasons but there has been a few pieces that i loved

recent cop :^)

>>15397715
Where are you getting the funds for these purchases, fella?

big fan of their pullover jackets

>>15396520
not as cringe as visvim at least. they are at least creative about their garments.

Anyone have the one fit of the guy in the pullover rain jacket eating a Gyro,

I remember it was the biggest meme for a while and made the jackets resale price litterally skyrocket

>>15396520
cav empt? more like CHAV empt

seriously though. they just seem like an alternative to stone island at this point. same experimental fabrics and "avant garde" look with the ever-so-important left arm badging. plus ive seen more than a few britbong football folks wearing their crap

>>15397634
This was the best piece from that collection, in my opinion. It’s also my very favorite jacket that I own.

>>15396625
I own a bunch of pieces from Undercover, but I don’t own anything from Cav Empt

>>15397720
why don't you ask your mom faggot

>>15397757
Surprise surprise, another mentally deranged hapa.

i like a lot of their pieces and prints but could do without the red circle branding
just like stone island, i get why they do it, but i dont like it.

>>15397759
that wasn't me btw

>>15397720
i have two jobs, both pharmacy related

>>15397770
Agree.
I like some of the older oversized and overdyed hoodies they have.
If I ever see one for a decent price secondhand wouldn't have any problem picking it up.

>>15397675
>Jun's worst seasons still have more actual design, creativity, craftsmanship, and thought put into them than most of Rafs best.
shut the fuck up nigger

>>15397627
>>15397645
>>15397675
>>15397740
And not a single good piece of clothing was posted.
Stop falling for the Japanese brand meme. It’s 2020.

>>15396520
cringe onions wear

>>15396520
Nice brand with decent graphics now and then
>tfw ywn have the russian graphic tee that was an /fa/ meme.

I think it got worse and more mainstream after Drake started wearing it.

They do genuinely have some nice interesting pieces, but usually its hit or miss or overpriced basics. Just wait for the sales desu imo.

>>15397597
>damage controlling because you named the wrong designer.

>>15398274
>cash grab collab = jun bad
You really don't want to play this game considering the collabs raf has done are beyond abysmal.

>>15396520
Emptvac

>>15397597
Jun Takahashi is a good designer

>>15396520
>>15396520
like every brand, it depends on how you wear it

>>15397645
>*autistic screeching*
His designs suck balls just accept the fact that your favourite fashion designer is a faggot and deal with it

like, its only cringe when it fails

>>15398274
>underoffwhitecovers

>>15398274

i honestly don’t think i can come up with anything more cringe than going after someone for taking some seriously hard earned easy money. you think anyone wants to do gay cringe shit like that? of course not. it’s so they can finance something actually cool, or pay the employees they’ve had for decades a bonus, or get their kid braces. everyone on the planet has to do dirty work like this sometimes to stay in the game. but it’s not what any of this is about.

imagine looking at a designer with an absolutely insane body of work and going “let me find the most cringe thing he’s done to keep the lights on and judge him on that”. you’re really out here just completely exposing yourself as a pea brainlet who’s obviously never worked in a creative field in your life. the money from the easy shitty collabs like these is probably more hardly earned than you’ll ever know. it takes decades of busting your ass to get to a point where people hand you cheques for dumb collabs like that.

anyway all this shit is irrelevant. at the end of the day Undercover could do a million garbage off-white collabs and it would NEVER erase work like pic related from existing.

you’re a dipshit, delete yourself.

>>15397729
got you

>>15397729
>>15398964
Resale prices have been on a downward trend, I remember when people tried selling theirs for 2.5k

>>15397645
your own brand is cringe, fag lol

>>15398981
>>15398964
>Mfw I own that piece

Is that the Pewdiepie brand?

>>15398964
Thanks man.

>>15396520
Their knitwear doesn't disappoint, picked this up a month ago

>>15397627
I like undercover but those jeans tho lmao

>>15397675
true

>>15398964
>>15398981
icon pullovers are dropping in price for sure, there was one that sold for 800usd on grailed a few weeks ago

I swear I had a dream last night that my mom bought me a bunch of Cav Empt, i used to be super into it in like 2016/2017. Weird cause my mom has no money and I can def buy it myself. Maybe this is some Freud shit and i secretly wanna fuck her ;/

>>15396520
it's a hit or miss on design. I own a sweater and the quality is really good. It's lowkey since not a lot of people know about it even tho I'm from nyc. I only saw one other girl wearing it in person.

>>15398960
>wow desert gimp suit so revolutionary
you're talking out of your ass and clearly just some jun dickrider

>>15398571
i'm going to do a dump of shit collabs that undercover has done

>>15399337

>>15399342

>>15399337
i really don't care, so post away to your enjoyment. I'm not defending shit UC collabs

I wanna post UC too

>>15399178
Jeans are the best part of the fit tho

>>15396611
Jesus is that supposed to be short caveat emptor ?
fucking meta

>>15399264
because people are realizing the taobao fakes for $50 get you 95% of the way there for a fraction of the price

>>15399560
niggers really have no taste

>>15399348
the point was to prove that jun has more misses on collabs than raf does

>>15400406
Not the other guy but
Undercover puts out a lot more work then raf for a way smaller price tag. It’s kinda unfair to compare a street wear brand to a designers personal collection.

Based for sure

>>15397715
Only piece I have atm, big fan tho

Undercover for zoomers

>>15400370
I wonder how you dress

>>15399347
The song being referenced here is great though, I love The Pop Group.

>>15397730
>experimental
lol. the only cool pieces are literal surplus or replicas of other brands like issey miyake in some shitty cotton with their gay ass brand on it. it's a complete hypeshit brand

>>15401362
please go around wearing a shirt saying we are all prostitutes so the rest of society knows to avoid you

>>15399673
Are there finally fakes? I remember that dumb Gordn1 kid talking about producing one three years ago but it never happened. But damn, gotta be even more careful now

>>15398964
>styling with ripped jeans and techrunners
always gets me

>>15397645
>>15397675
Oh it’s that retard who sperged about vivsim for an hour.

>>15398964
>>15398981
The pullover is nice. Too bad these guys can’t dress

>>15396520
Hi CavEmpt Market Research!
>>15396625
undercover has zero of subtlety but cav empt actually makes sense if you're into a specific style, most of their graphic tees are bad though

>>15396520
Does anyone have a pic of that green jacket. Absolute grail

>>15397675
>>15397645

If anyone here's a new user, a useful tip is that you can choose to not look at Anorak's posts with a few clicks –– I've made an image guide and attached it.

Have fun and happy posting!

>>15397675
Holy shit, Anorak is back!

I remember you from lots of techwear threads probably like half a decade ago, apologies if you've been around because I mostly haven't, just glad to see a familiar name, and thank you for schooling these people as always.

I want to make a good quality post in this thread but I'll do it tomorrow as I'm about to sleep. I will say for now though that in the past 3 or so years their designs are nowhere near as good as they used to be, but they do occasionally produce some good stuff. I still love the brand overall though.
>>15399629
Yes, read Ubik.

fashion victim core

>>15401666

hey whats up, pandemic has got me grounded for a minute so just dicking around on the internet and falling into old habits. state of the board is of course the worst it has ever been (as has been the case every year I check in). most interesting thing though is seeing how zoomers grapple with all of this stuff.

i know exactly why they hate it and its because their entire understanding of it comes from grailed and rappers. i don't think i can really convey the insane amount of sadness i feel for zoomers that are into clothes. they're getting to see it all through the absolute most gay and cringe lens ever. i would probably hate undercover too if the only thing i knew about it was the off-white collab and grailed product descriptions written by cringe olympians. i'm so fucking glad i got into fashion when it was uncool as shit, rappers wore sean john, and if you wanted anything second hand you were forced to post on a forum about it and get dunked on for 100 posts before you could cop.

on the other hand maybe all of this stuff needs to become uncool and hated. that's actually for the best. undercover has "died" like 5 times now. i know japanese girls that wore it in the 20th century and thought it was over by the time gyakusou came around. the only problem is if anything needs to be killed by zoomers it should be fast fashion and luxury megacorps. so i don't really think they have a leg to stand on shitting on undercover when 99% of their fits is fourth hand gucci and uniqlo that they drew all over.

>>15401690
nice taobao rep on the icon pullover

>>15402427
Very good, can you spot the other 2 fakes in that picture? I'll give you that it's a bit hard given the angle.
Pic related is the second jacket from the left.

>>15402632
Nah, I just recognized it because I own the same one :^)
Real recognize real

>>15402427
How can you tell?

>>15402637
Embroidery on the CAV on the shoulder is sloppy and uneven
Stitching on the shoulder part is flawed with the corner lifting
Print of the woman on the phone looks different from retail, the stripes are more spaced
Overall the differences are negligeble though, liek I said I have the rep myself and it was like $50
Fuck paying $1200 on grailed to some hypebeast faggot for a pullover

>>15402643
I'm too dumb to navigate taobao etc, can you point me in the right direction wtb?

>>15402737
This information is regularly available with just a bit of googling and reading of existing posts... if you have to ask to be spoonfed you're just as bad as the hypebeasts who pay around $1000 for it. Find it yourself: use fashionreps as a starting point.

I have a quite a few bits from cavempt. they were a lot of fun for raving and now I've been selling some of it off. keeping some of my favorites.
pros:
>sweatshirts are stupid heavyweight & boxy
>knits are top notch
cons:
>designs have started to falter
>prices are out of control
it was fun for awhile but it'll never have that 2014-2017 hype again.

>>15402777
>fashionreps
Thanks my g

i have a bunch of cav empt

beauty and youth pullover
icon pullover
dozen or so tees

all fake, spent less than one retail piece

Fakes are cringe

Cav Empt is best when it's a little more low-key and desaturated

>>15403052
Paying thousands for chink produced clothes that are made down the street at another factory is cringe

>b-b-but cav empt is made in JAPAN!!

bout to cop a fake and use a seam ripper to take off the gay ass logo

There is no way this has the same quality as retail

I don't know what's more cringe :
people buying shit tier pieces because they can't afford the good ones
or
buying fakes
makes mine look good

>>15404676
Dunno between those two but the most cringe is thinking you're somehow a better human being for blowing stacks on disposable garments

>>15404686
I'm not saying I'm a better human being, it just makes my collection look better.

>>15404666
yeah but the only one i could find that is authentic on the used market is ~$670 and is navy

cringe, along with brain dead: where its creators took lsd and plastered what they saw on a graphic or in a colorway

personally disappointed with C.E. because i remember when they first came out they had a lot of banger pieces. but it eventually became. a nice jacket every other release, to nothing - i cant recall wanting Something new in the past years.

>>15404816
>says the same thing about every other item

do fashionrep users at least dress nice?

>>15404937
ah yes because spending $670 on a fleece that isn't even the color I want is a smart and rational decision

>>15402643
based reddit rep retard

>>15404948
but buying the rep and acting like you paid $670 is?

>complaining about prices when trying to be fa
just buy normie clothes then

>>15406782
you clearly didn't read the thread retard. i said i wanted the jacket because of the cut and the colors of the fleece and was going to seam rip the logos out.

>>15406787
but youre the real retard for buying fakes and doing "custom" while i invested 3 posts

>>15406805
i'm not going to try to pass it off as my own work dipshit. cav empt will most likely never rerelease this fleece or a fleece similar to it and if they do they will slap some gaudy vaporwave graphics on it which i do not want.
if i really wanted to i could pay some zoomer resale on it but the problem is there isn't a single one in the gray/cream colorway available on the market.

I like what they do but the boxy fit doesn't work for a tall / ectomorph body like mine

>>15396520
Street wear/hypebeast wear is for uggos and manlets
