Very few things from their lookbook stand out compared to their previous season. I like that black long sleeve but it's quite plain. I dislike the color choices on the hoodies despite owning this. I'd like to see photos from the store if you are willing to share any, though. The drum machine sweater looks okay if you like techno, I guess?

Painfully obvious it's the same guy. In the chance it's not, maybe Reddit started shilling Undercover so that's why idk.

Not everyone has to like Undercover but there's nothing obviously hateable about it like Supreme or Balenciaga. Shit rappers aren't even on Undercover. So I'm curious what this dude's deal is. Probably just a new way to troll, because hating the hateable meme brands is played out.

I used to live near Tokyo too. Head the fuck down to the thrift stores. 10 Tow is my favourite, personally, but Kindal, Ragtag and Don Don Down Wednesday is good too. Go to 10 Tow for lots of cheap used Yohji, CDG and some random Helmuts, Ricks and Rafs if you're lucky.

Then you've got the boutiques - the Studious stores are my favourite for menswear. Beams and United Arrows are nice for that Popeye magazine comfy core vibe.

OP here yeah I'm probably going to try to cop. The more I look at it the more I like it. I don't know what the price will be exactly but probably between 500-700. CE is getting quite expensive... kind of shame. I'll still fork over for their best pieces but some of it is thoroughly overpriced. I saw a store exclusive bag on their Insta that is kind of neat so I was looking to get it, but not at 300. I think there will be a limit to their price inflation and I think we've reached it. If it gets any pricier people will be turned off. The fur and brown leather bomber that dropped today was like 2,300 bucks ha. I personally find it ugly.

I think part of the original appeal of C.E was that it was an emerging label with limited stockist. That on top of their then interesting items would have helped generate the hype.

A bit MORE hype? Compared to what streetwear brands? Bape flagship in Harajuku has a line on weekends and obviously nothing is like Supreme in terms of hype.

CE is still pretty low key.

From checking today. What will release is what is shown individually on the Instagram. Not the whole lookbook as of yet of course.

Their selection of everything used to be way better, and the prices used to be lower too.

One of them, the lab taipei one, is. Unfortunately only a single manufacturer was selling it, and he somehow managed to screw up the print on his entire run, resulting in the graphic on the back looking like it's been sun damaged. I'm still going to wear it - haven't had the chance to yet - but I'm a little disappointed because I like that shirt alot. The other one is pretty common. I just purchased fake ones because I don't make enough money to justify spending $60 USD on a t-shirt. If I'm going to put a large amount of money into something, I would prefer it to be something warm or a piece of outerwear.

Too lazy to photograph all my items but I own pic related, the Dies Irae Jacket, one of the two suit jackets, other side sweater in magenta, color block hoodie in green, red and cream, the two shirts I mentioned, and one of the noise military shirts from 2012 or 2013 I don't recall which. I'm currently looking for neutral outwear from them because, as much as I like the dies irae one, it's not very flexible.

Still find it interesting CE has fakes. It really isn't very hype at all. The stuff on the official website takes hours and days to sell out depending on the piece. Longer on third party retailers.

Honestly given that former BAPE people are behind it, it's remarkable it's not more hype than it is.

Can someone please help me with a dilemma I'm having? I want to buy this. I love the band and I like undercover. However, there are some issues I'm having trouble getting past;
-One is that this would be the most expensive piece of clothing I've purchased. I'm aware that it's a low value for that status but my wardrobe is made up of items I've found through penny pinching. I don't really own any grail status items.
-It's outside my current 'style', though I don't really think I can say I have a properly established one. I have a few items from CE, undercover and number nine, but I don't really have enough items in a single vein to say that I dress this way or that way. I can roughly picture how I would wear this, but even then I still would feel somewhat uncomfortable doing so as a sleeveless hoodie seems a bit daunting for me. Fairly punk. The closest thing I have to that are some darted n(n) jeans and a distressed number nine t-shirt.
-The last thing is the cost in relation to the above factors. I'm worried I'll spend a bunch on it and then wear it once, feel awkward and uncomfortable, then try and resell it only for noone to be interested and it to sit on a hanger for 9 months, as I've experienced with another item.

Are you just supposed to 'dive into' higher tier clothing like this?

While on one hand it is good to experiment with new styles and what not, I'd say that if you have any doubt that it would not fit your current "style" and if you've had previous bad experiences with purchasing pieces out of your comfort zone as you have mentioned then don't waste your money.

On my way home. 10tow is a very nice shop. Not really my style, lots of leather and menswear, jackets and such. But if you like Yohji and or CDG it is a must see. Lots of impressive Yohji. They had a cool Rick knee length hoodie for 350~ that seemed like an OK deal. Absolute highlight was this insane Jun Heat-- leather jacket with these tassels and little skull pendants.

N.Hoolywood does really cool mid-priced (around Our Legacy pricing) vintage influenced minimal stuff. Main guy had a vintage store before he started his own brand and it shows. Nice quality stuff with good mix of basics and designer pieces. Also mostly usage of black, grey and white.
Wacko Maria became popular recently. A pretty relaxing take on streetwear with very Japanese vibes. Ssense, Havenshop, MrPorter and SlamJamSocialism carry them. Also imo fairly priced.

OP here, I can't recommend Neighborhood enough. Very cool brand and very slept on for the most part. A lOt of their stuff has a pretty mensweary vibe as well, leather and denim kind of stuff. So it's pretty versatile. High price point though.

I'll make a thread after this one is at the limit for Japanese brands in general.

Their Luker By Neighborhood diffusion line is also pretty cool imo. More punkish, but not Undercover-tier larping and edgy.

Sounds good, I really love Japanese clothing brands for their quality, attention to detail, design, etc but find them largely overshadowed by the usual brands that are popular in North America.
Unfortunately for me I only have access to them through one or two stockists (at high markups) or through used channels. I envy you guys who are living in Japan and have it access to it all. I guess I'll live vicariously through you.

Have they started making all their recent pieces in China or do they still make some stuff in Japan? Have you noticed any quality differences between them?
I know it sounds silly but if I'm dropping that much money on a piece I'd prefer it to be made in Japan.

Proxy sites pal. I live in Germany and order via FromJapan (there are better proxis though, I use it due to customs avoidance). Also Grailed and Rakuten.
>>13052847
When I remeber correctly CE always had some stuff that was made in China (like some of the jackets and knits). Undercover, Neighborhood and Visvim always did that too and I can't say quality is worse. It's just that some things are better produced in a more technologically state-of-art fabrics with strickter quality control. CE's sweats were always made in Japan though...

I posted in this thread before. Got the AW17 Brainwashed Gen. Media is god sweatshirt and some zipper pants in charcoal from UND. I got a bunch of stuff from Kapital, I'll upload some pics tomorrow. I have to say that for me, Kapital has the coolest in-store vibe ever. It's a blast to visit the store and browse the pieces.

Thanks, although I'm already somewhat familiar with Sasquatchfabrix and pretty familiar with Wtaps and Nbhd. I don't know much about Kolor and Sacai (married brands).

My CE items that are labeled made in China have absolutely nothing wrong with them. One of them was a shirt jacket, 4 years old, that got caught on a door latch, and was pulled quite hard as I was in a hurry, but it didn't get damaged at all.

I'm the guy who recommended 10 Tow. You could be lucky, I managed to cop this YYPH shirt for 15k because there was a really really tiny hole on the sleeve. Basically it's like any other thrift store, you could be lucky or you could not. The curation is pretty great though, so you probably will find something you like.

The thrift in Shibuya definitely has the most heavy hitting luxury and designer stuff. Forgot which chain it is but the multi level thrift shop next to the Supreme store has Balmain leather jackets and stuff.

Amd yeah 10tow had several Yohji amd CDG jackets for multiple thousands.

That’s really weird. Because everyone I’ve asked says the shoulder patch at least looks legit. Look on the photo pasted before. It’s only the tag that looks off.

Is WTaps just overpriced military surplus style clothes? Are they really worth the high price stockists are charging?
I like their style its just that I can't seem to find any reason why most of their pieces are worth that much.

OP here, I can second Daikanyama. Harajuku/Jingumae/Omotesando/Aoyama strip too of course. A lot of well dressed people but a lot of tryhards too. Pudgy Chinese hypebeasts in full Supreme and shit.

OG redblooded vogue is Ginza, bit it’s definitely older classy people. You will see a lot hnnng milfs in fur and shit there. Also best place for sportscar watching. Even saw a P1 one time. Ginza is the closest thing to Rodeo drive.

I'm not a big cafe guy but Yoyogi park by Harajuku station is one of my favorite spots. Not really for the fashion conscious particularly it's just a park but you can see interesting people there all the time.

Oh and back to Daikanyama there is actually a cool cafe/restaurant where you just sit on beds. Pretty comfy.
