Acne is shit. I hate spoonfeeding kids only for them to make bad decisions.

At the moment LN-CC has 30% off with the code CIRRUS30. Now go and buy uninspired made in china with synthetic blends that only appeals to homosexual fashion bloggers.

The word "comfy" is the worst thing to happen to this place in a while. At first it was pretty cool I started noticing these threads like 10 or so months ago and the we're good lots of mori jap brands and stuff that was pretty unique and hadn't been posted before. Now it has reached the point where spergs like you just say anything that doesn't feel like a cock going up your ass is comfy.
>wow my fit really sucks but I need to be validated by the Internet. What do i do? I know I'll call it comfy then they can't say it's shit!
Everything looks like cheap shit and you look like a freshman in high school. Stop fucking using comfy to describe shit please unless you are wrapped in some huge blanket and some sweatpants. Otherwise you are not fucking comfy you're just wearing fucking clothes.

I'm fully prepared for all the butthurt comments trying to call me on something probably autism or le saltiness but you know what? You all fucking suck and can't dress for shit so it's completely warranted.

Well of course I could buy Yohji, the point is that this is a shirt that could work with his circle of designers.

Alot of SZ-core designers although at times can become quite similar many of them have fantastic construction: Poell, LUC, Harnden, MA+. But you also have people doing some quite different things with similar focus to construction and materials Jan Jan Van Esche, Aitor Throup, Sruli Recht(kind of not really anymore). There are many more but out off all the names I listed I would definitley put LUC and JJVE at the front of the list for "more bang for your buck" their prices arent cheap whatsoever but the care they put into materials is ridiculous and the construction is similarly inspiring. Sadly both have very very small runs and so they can be difficult to find the exact pieces you want at times, but no where near impossible. Dont disregard more common designers like Rick, Siki, CDG, or Yohji their pieces may not be on the level of some of those stated before but still put out very well priced clothing but still with great quality and textiles

Y-3 should never be used as a reference point for quality. It's virtually a licensing agreement that allowed yohji to continue producing his mainline, the price quality disconnect is palpable. Ervell means nothing to me, not inna disparaging sense, I just haven't the opportunity or interest to handle and assess the quality of his work. As for acnes quality, I think that the synthetic blends they use are uncomfortable to the touch and I think the construction by unskilled underpaid labourers from Albania and china is very evident in the stitching of anything I've handled/owned.

Other anons have replied to you in my stead and many of the brands mentioned in >>9182833 would be things I would have recommended, I probably would include a few more and take out a couple but I'll get to that later. Firstly I want to address >>9182604. There are not 'tons' of artisinal brands. PFW will have 1500 collections presented and of those collections, how many of the shows will be the work of artisans? Extremely few. I understand that you're trying to understand what category of artisan designer will appeal to that poster, but acting like there is a plethora of artisinal designers producing incredibly high quality hand-made clothing is a complete misnomer and actually laughable in today's industrialised fashion industry.

Some of the best made clothing in the world is produced by the Altieri's Carpe Diem's offshoots, some already mentioned by that other poster. MA+, Label Under Construction, etc. Then you have people like Harnden and Geoffrey B. Small who create a lot of period influenced pieces with impeccable tailoring, fabric selection and personality in every piece (also amongst the most expensive clothing you could ever purchase, I don't know how literally to take the fact that money isn't an issue for you). As a side I think GBS is another level above Harnden. With GBS, MA+, LUC etc. they're proof that the absolute best materials that money can buy is still coming out of Italy. Their fabrics are sourced from real artisans, family operated mills that have been passed down several generations and operate exclusively for these brands. I'd place Jan Jan Van Essche and Stephan Schneider on a similar level with their focus on textile selection/creation (for me Schneider's designs are the most palatable (or normal) of any of these designers, but perhaps the least interesting).

(cont)

>> No.9183282

>>9183276
I feel Song for the Mute deserves a mention here, they're a very young brand but I believe they're doing really interesting things with fabrics, and the head designer's dedication to sourcing extremely high quality fabrics from the best mills in Japan, Italy etc. combined with the fact it's put together by skilled workers in Australia produces for me products that look and feel great. And as the other anon said, Rick deserves a mention. He operates with a very close knit team within a factory that produces exclusively for him. He too sources excellent materials for his mainline, but the made in moldova leathers that have recently surfaced are questionable. Yohji and Rei have produced everything in Japan from the same mills they have been using for years and their quality is very high (though Rei's interest with synthetic blends puts CGD a touch below Yohji imo)

Basically research the brand. Does the brand put fabric first? Is the designer closely connected to the production process? If they're using synthetic blends and producing in multiple factories where they have no authority and cannot oversee the work, there's likely going to be a quality issue.

KEK what a fucking rip off, anyone who buys anything from there is an idiot.
>muh quality

Both APC and Acne do decent basic jeans but pretty much everything else by them is retardly overpriced for the plain as hell quality you get, it's like they realized they have some following because they have one decent product and decided to up the prices as to appear more "high fashion" to get fuccbois buy everything else they make.

Wrong.
The $200 benchmark is the cutoff though. The difference between a pair of Acne or BLK DNM jeans(~200) vs. Saint Laurent ones (~500) is null.

hey there. i have a question about this and you guys seem to know a lot so i want to take this opportunity to ask you something when i visit this board and a person with #realKnowledge puts themselves out there
so i like the cut of APC clothing. do you believe that that plays some role in the pricing of it? i honestly feel like the cut and design of their clothing (keep in mind i don't claim to know anything about this shit; i literally just look at pictures and try stuff on and see if i like it) is what I like more than a lot of other brands. i will never want to wear rick owens (except maybe a pair or ramones! lol). it isn't that i think that the people who do wear that shit are fucking up, but like all the brands you mention are just really like avant garde ass clothing that don't suit my personality. i honestly really respect those designers and their hustle, the knowledge of materials, pattern making. but, i am never going to wear SZ style shit; i am too conservative.
so what do you think?
is it stupid to continue buying shit from APC? what should i do if i want quality somewhat conservative threads? is bespoke casual clothing the thing to do?

i apologize for this mess. thanks for posting, honestly, i like hearing from you

I'd say labour costs are more applicable past a price point.

Cut plays a role in pricing in the sense that it's a desirable feature of a product that people are willing to pay for, and A.P.C. has successfully managed this aspect of their design/marketing. I think that a lot of the belgian designers might be more toward what you're looking for, and I'll give an especial mention to Dries Van Noten. Phenomenal designer whose last 3 or 4 years of shows have been some of the best at PFW, family history of great tailors, puts fabric at the forefront of his focus but still has some incredibly interesting designs but certainly more accessible for someone like yourself. Check him out. Schneider too. Tentatively Margiela but since he's gone and the Diesel (the group that owns them don't recall right now) takeover I can't 100% stand behind that recommendation but I'd like for someone to assure me the business is being operated as it was when Martin was there but H&M x Margiela makes me think otherwise. I have no idea though I've heard conflicting info

No worries. Also check out Robert Geller. American designer who I believe still does all of his production in Japan, should have some pieces you can fit into your wardrobe. There's a ton of designers in a similar category they just don't come to mind immediately because I suppose they're not the most interesting.
