BASICS THREAD
I'm building a high quality basic wardrobe and need recommendations on basic tees, shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies, shorts (specifically sweat shorts), sweatpants and jeans.
Where do you cop your basic shit?

When people here talk about quality what exactly do they mean? Is there a price point where the quality pretty much peaks?

[Anonymous No.8212295]

>>8212280
thanks for the reply mayn. For a budget id say:
tees - up to 60
shirts - 70
sweatshirts/hoodies - 75
shorts - 75
sweatpants - 90
jeans - 150
All in aus dollars and only an estimate

Obliviously I'd prefer cheaper prices, but I don't want to compromise quality at all.

keep checking ebay/grailed/sufu for 2nd hand ol/a.p.c/acne stuff

[q_ko !2ROBOToqIE No.8212383]

as for brands that i have copped and stuff: a.p.c., acne, yaeca (needs proxying, or you can order from inventory magazine's store), base range (women's, but their sweatpants and most tops are p much unisex imo, extra comfy as well) p much do the trick for me.

other brands you should probably check out would be nonnative, beams plus, nanamica, and sophnet.

as for price range, the stuff i have listed prolly ain't gonna be in that area but then it's worth getting since the quality of the fabric and the cut would definitely be what you're gonna pay for.

it totally depends on the aesthetic and purpose of clothing that you're going for too, so keep that in mind while shopping for basics! i.e. shopping for cropped trousers for the summer, looser tee to layer over with something on top, etc.

>>8212443
most of the clothing that you purchase is made out of either cotton, linen, rayon (and it's other synthetic fibre friends), polyester, wool, or bamboo. i'm just going to talk about cotton as much as i could since most clothing is made out of cotton! i don't know anything about stitching though, sorry :(

the quality of cotton is based on measurements for fiber length, strength and length, micronaire (a measure of the cotton's fineness), color grade, color reflectance (luster), color yellowness [copypasted from wikipedia]. there are also many different types of cotton as well, being: american upland (what you normally find in stores), american pima (high end clothing cotton), egyptian (what you'd expect for quality bedding), and sea island.
basically if you're talking about ranking, sea island is top tier, and american upland is pleb tier.

anyway, on to properties of these respective cottons:

>american upland
what you'd find in h&m, uniqlo, etc. most common cotton there is due to inexpensiveness to produce. texture is roughest compared to the rest of the cottons out there, and is often gone under mercerization (to increase luster) to create a more exquisite effect. if anything says "made out of cotton", assume that it's made out of this. don't get your hopes up.
>american pima
what you'd find in higher end stores. there are six grades of pima cotton, and the higher the grade is, the more yellow and luster it has. i don't know much about pima cotton so if anyone knows about it, please contribute!
>egyptian
what you'd find in higher end stores as well. cotton will get softer over time, and often has a high thread count -- meaning that the strength of the fabric itself is quite strong. it's breathability is also quite high.
>sea island
finest and most expensive cotton available, and is often mixed with silk. what you'd probably find in high-end tailoring or clothing.

>>8212567
linen has the strength of 2-3 times of cotton (making it less easy to rip), and it is smoother. however, it wrinkles pretty easily, and doesn't have as much elasticity to it.

as for textures, cotton is softer and fluffier, whereas linen is quite smooth, and a bit coarse compared to cotton. linen also feels cool because of it's breathability, that's why it's popular for summer wear.

:> hope this helps

try and hunt for linen/cotton blends though. even though the "cotton" part might turn you off a bit, having a pure linen shirt would make it more hectic to take care of, since it may turn brittle if you don't take care of it! (don't baby it though, that's gross)

I personally find that jp tees fit me great, and their tanktops are awesome and like $20 a pop and always there at the nordstrom rack. Super nice hoodies and sweat shorts are a hidden gem.

He makes some twill military-esque pants that are cool but they're very baggy (pic) so you'd have to pinroll them or tailor them to make them fit nice (I just pinroll). Also nice button shirts that are relaxed-fit but not too baggy

and yeah I haven't seen any jeans but I am not a jeans kinda guy so w/e. You should def check out the sweatshorts though

heat is usually what shrinks them. Shrinkage after a wash really isn't a problem with jeans, though, as they stretch back out pretty quickly (in the event that they do shrink).

you can hand wash or try a gentle cycle in a machine. What are you so worried about? I thought you wanted non raws so it'd be less complicated? I'm uncomplicating it for you.

Ah thanks. I don't really know anything about cleaning products and all, thanks for helping.

When soaking them in the bathtub, how exactly do I go about that?
From what I got the water should be cold and I should way them down with something so they stay on the ground, is that correct? How long do you leave them in there? Should I size up or just cop the size I want to wear? Do I have to touch them in any way to make the color stuff go out or does it work on it's own if I leave it in the water?

Lastly, where can I cop entry level raws? I'm afraid to cop something expensive and then fuck it up completely.
I've stayed away from raws thus far because I'm concerned that they will turn my white shoes and my T's blue

norse projects has good basics in the style of what i am forced to call 'normcore'; if you're looking for the stock-standard regular cut of t-shirt or whatever in excellent quality, go there. acne and t by wang have slightly more odd/fashion/avant-garde/whatever cuts and they're a bit more expensive

also in the same price as acne you have rag and bone, which isn't discussed a lot here because it's not really /fa/'s style right now but i'm wearing one of their tees right now and these things are comfy as a bitch. nice detailing on them too

[Anonymous No.8214690]

>>8212304

basically i think about 100 is the most you should pay before the quality peaks, if we're talking strictly about materials. if you have way too much fucking money you can buy a luxury brand that makes their tees out of virgin blood and the pubic hairs of newborn albino sheep for like 400 bucks or whatever but that's the exception

generally like 70-80 bucks is the most you should pay for a plain tee and 110-120 is the most you should pay for a tee with an unusual cut or a print or something. if you're paying more than that you're paying for the brand or the graphic or whatever- and i'm not saying that's unreasonable. if you want to drop 200 dollars on a raf simons graphic tee or 350 on a drkshdw j-shaped and you have the money then by all means do it, but those are special cases and you should never pay that much for a regular ass tee.

50ish is kind of a weird middle ground on tees, you see kind of a gap there. some other people in this thread said james perse makes tees around that range so maybe cop one of those and see if it's any good; at that range, though, what i would do is look for other brands on sale or secondhand. tees being tees people usually discount them really heavily when they resell unless they're brand new with tags. you could probably get an acne tee or something for 30-40 bucks if you don't mind it being potentially a bit worn

Pure linen is quite durable though. It can withstand higher washing temps than cotton and more stress. Linen only gets brittle if you overdry it. I have pure linen sheets and they actually get softer with each wash. I put them in the dryer for a few minutes and then hang them to dry the rest of the way.

pure cotton tends to be softer whereas linen/cotton tends to be more stronger. both get softer as wear increases. supima cotton is essentially pima cotton so it's premium in quality. i'd opt for the linen/cotton option though.

well, I've come to the conclusion that actual underwear t-shirts need to fit tighter than any regular t-shirt. The main thing I'm concerned about is, whether dedicated undershirts have better moisture absorption capabilities and such.

Norse Projects stuff is definitely high quality though. The materials are comfortable from the start and I haven't had any damage with the tees I bought a year+ ago. Just check the measurements first, that's how I went about it.
