Rag & bone

Not really cheaper but at least it's worth the price

I can't tell the difference between my gap sweaters and my apc ones, rag & bone is a different story though.

Patrik Ervell, Stephan Schneider, Norse Projects.. Were you looking at an alternative for a cheaper price range?

APC's quality isn't too bad, but you're right, for the price it's pretty ridiculous. I would only really cop APC on sale.

theory, rag & bone, i love ugly,

apc covers a lotta shit
just buy from brands that specialize in less stuff but have same quality

like howlin/sns herning for sweaters

What's the ultimate basic bitch brand?

Like, basic designs (NOT dadcore stuff like Brioni, but actual basic and casual clothing like APC and Acne) but with 10/10 construction, detail, quality...?

apart from bespoke of course

how is acne quality in comparison to apc

>>7876881

Similar. Both have lots of factories in Turkey, China, Portugal, Italy and some Baltic countries

What do you guys think of JCrew as far as basic bitch stuff goes

Not the most tacky and daddyprepcore pieces

>>7876894
fuck now i feel shitty for copping black acne jeans at full price

i just couldnt go any longer without black jeans :'(

W2C basics like APC provides but are actually slim fitting

Not talking about jeans here but about tops, like sweaters, cardigans, zip up hoodies, outerwear, tees (especially those two)...

I like APC but they're not slim enough usually

>>7876909
Don't worry they're the best you're going to get in that price range anyway. And they don't really go on sale.

COS do a pretty great job of good quality minimalist basics, i occasionally get feature items from APC but plan on building most of my spring wardrobe with COS, maybe some uniqlo

>>7877056
I've had awful luck regarding COS sizing and cuts

Sizing varies too much, cuts are frequently WAY too fat and boxy with really long limbs

I'm not short by any means either, I'm 187cm tall

>>7877060
they have plenty of stores in europe, probably worth going into stores and trying stuff on rather than buying online

>>7877038
yea but i got slp raw denim for 180 and saw black slp jeans for 240 last season

fuck i should have just been patient

>>7877060
>under 188cm
>not short
that's gotta be the toppest lel i've had all day

>>7877125
it's well above mens average height even if hes from the Dinaric Alps

>>7876798
>the more conservative aesthetic of heteronormative masculinity

>>7876808
pfft, no way. quality of apc stuff in relation to the price is much better than r&b's and to top it off, apc is generally cheaper.
>I can't tell the difference between my gap sweaters and my apc ones
i hope you're trolling

>>7876881
from what i've seen, acne is a lot more design oriented so you're paying more for the patterns and cuts than quality and it shows.

>>7876878

I'm interested in this as well.

>>7876916
even if you size down?
>>7877103
not bad. i would never pay more than 250 for slp jeans. idk why people like them so much

>>7877353
Nah, apc is almost always more expensive than rag&bone. Quality really can't compare either, apc is overpriced as fuck, it's seriously no better than gap, if you think I'm trolling compare them for yourself. Rag& bone is some of the best that you can't get in that price range, it's some really nice stuff.

>>7877382
>this
I've never been a fan of A.P.C/Rag and Bone/Acne. Their stuff looks like mall tier bs.

>>7877391
But acne and apc is overpriced and mall tier (quality wise) but r&b is actually well made, nice stuff. People should stop lumping them together

Personal experience really, but if you give me a minute I might be able to dig some stuff up about each brands manufacturing

Vince and Theory.

>>7877382

u sound a little biased ;o

>>7877424
please do

I have a little penis

>>7876828
>Were you looking at an alternative for a cheaper price range?

Yes

I want APC at a realistic price point

>>7877431
I haven't been too happy with apc stuff I've bought, nor acne, but rag & bone never disappointed me. That's as far as my bias goes. If anything I like the way acne and APC's stuff looks the most, but I'm just referring to the price/quality ratio.

>>7877443
Gap

>>7877424
i only have 1 item of clothing from both acne and apc but they're both gr8 for the price
paid retail on both items (ace cash + flecked jumper)

>7877402

You guys got to be kekking me.

ayye lmao

>>7877382
i'm seriously surprised that you feel this way. I've always found apc's fabrics more interesting, nicer looking, more durable, more likely to be made of natural fibers, and with a cleaner finish. The R&B pants I've handled have been thin, prewashed, made of cotton synthetic blends. Their other trousers aren't much better. The tees, well i've just never liked their tees. Even their knits are thin.

>>7877443
>i want the same quality for less
this is not how things work, anon

>>7877481
Well I have no experience with their pants, but every pair of apc jeans I've have (4) have had some sort of rip or stitching gone loose from casual wear, only one pair was raw btw. Like I said sure I like the design of apc stuff more and their knits are actually thicker in my experience but that's not really a testament for quality, their sweaters tend to lose shape after a few wears and the fabrics they use aren't nearly as nice, (especially their cotton). I've never had anything from apc as nice as my rag&bone cardigan

>>7877513
Sorry about my thoughts kinda being scattered and disorganized, I'm really tired and just typing what I feel

>>7877443
uniqlo

>>7877556
They don't ship to Continental Europe

>>7877519
you made a good effort with real imput
keep up the good work

APC and Acne are fuccboi tier

there's bound to be a boutique in your area that carries em, I implore you to go see it in person. It's shit. The only thing they have are good fits on the jeans, which are actually horrible made in china quality. Just find a tailor that can work with raw denim, buy yourself some fat guy heritage bullshit and get them tailored to a pristine fit.

Personally, the worst offenders I think are the printed acne pullovers. They legit feel and fit like some H&M bullshit.

>>7877513
Well I guess it's a matter of opinion. My apc stuff has all held up well
