Ausfags, what are good clothing labels/stores?
95% of the shirts/jumpers/hoodies I own are band merch and I really need to expand my wardrobe.
Is Cotton On any good?

A shop names Incu has a heap of good shit, go on their website. Vanishing Elephant is also a pretty good brand. The best thing to do is to go into melbourne and look around for about 3 hours down sidestreets and alleys

Industrie is okay for basics, I guess, Vanishing Elephant is okay despite being General Pants-core, Claude Maus is great, their jeans are really nice, other labels like ATG, Asuza, P.A.M., I'd also highly recommend Stolen Girlfriends Club, their stuff is great.

>Is Cotton On any good?
no no no no non on on on on o n o no no no oo n non o

Also avoid Roger David, YD, Tarocash, Connor, Politix at all costs. Hype DC is decent but overpriced when it comes to sneakers, so when things are on sale, its a good place to check out.
