=== Overview ===
Swedish brand founded by Christopher Nying and Jockum Hallin, based on the idea of creating clothes that are “like a classic garment from your grandfather’s wardrobe, remodelled to fit our life and our time.” A strong emphasis is placed on quality, ensuring the clothes are timelessly chic. Of particular note are their patterned shirts and their sweatshirts, which are often released in interesting fabric blends or textures - cotton and linen, terrycloth. Their lookbooks are well-known for having really shitty pictures of the clothing.

=== Sizing ===
Our Legacy sizing is notoriously inconsistent, so do your research before copping online.

Uniqlo

Okokokay: /* User Reviews and Notes */

==Synopsis==
[[File:Uniqlo3.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

Uniqlo (pronounced "YOU-nee-klo") was originally founded in 1984 as "Unique Clothing Warehouse." The Japanese based manufacturer, designer, and retailer expanded rapidly from 100 stores in Japan in 1994 to over 1000 worldwide in 2013 and has plans for further expansion. Uniqlo is generally regarded as a good budget brand, offering notable value for the price, and as a reliable destination for basics.

In terms of design, Uniqlo emphasizes a kind of uniformity or "ordered abundance," its clothing neatly stacked so as to highlight the company's distinct "rainbow" array of colors. Unlike H&M, which aggressively pursues trends and whose stores receive shipments of clothing 3 times a week, Uniqlo focuses on stable basics like plain t shirts, oxfords, dress shirts, hoodies, slacks, and jeans, distilling them down into a basic if often mundane form. It's this very uniformity--going so far as to only offer a single inseam on pants--that allows the company to reduce costs and produce garments of reasonably good quality.

Select items in stores and online are frequently offered at reduced "Sale" or "Promotion" prices in addition to clearance prices offered at retail locations.

==User Reviews and Notes==
''This section encourages a variety of opinions. Please identify your own comment with a signature.''

"As with most stores, the quality varies here. Uniqlo doesn't do well with more interesting fabrics like chambray, but the cotton tees and hoodies are well made and inexpensive. The fit of the men's tops doesn't work for me, though. I'm 5'10" and wear an xs, but Uniqlo's xs tops are consistently too short for me, hitting just below the belt. If you're a taller person who wears small sizes I'd recommend checking the size guide before buying. Otherwise, though, everything is more of less true to size. Same goes for the pants: get your actual waist size and it should fit well. The slim fit chinos I bought here are probably my favorite purchase from the store. Far and away the best fitting chinos you can get for under $50. They're slim, but not exceedingly so. They're essentially a straight leg for a thin person. The jeans, though, look like ass."

"The linen shirts are very boxy, hungry skeletons beware."

"Oxford shirts are by far the best for the price. Slim chinos and skinny jeans are also good. And remember there are detailed sizing guides for every item on their website, which is great (and something more online stores should do)."

Jeans offer excellent fits and fast fading, if that's what you're into, but construction is relatively poor compared to brands at a similar price such as Naked & Famous, and in the last few years production has been outsourced to Macau. Size down 1-2 sizes depending on the fit you want; they stretch a crazy amount.

High quality basics too, but can be a bit on the pricey side.

Defunct brand, too next level to live. Carpe Diem transcended mere mortal constraints by avoiding typical designs and fashion completely. They would never advertise and refuse editorials, allowing the clothes to speak for themselves. And speak they do, with an understated luxury and quality that lead to quite a large cult following. The collection consisted of four main lines: Carpe Diem (footwear and leather pieces), L'Maltieri (knitwear), Sartoria (made-to-measure) and Linea (mostly jackets, trousers and t-shirts). Founded by Maurizio Altieri along with Sara Lanzi, Luca Laurini and the dude who does A1923, they broke up to pursue solo endeavours: m.a+, Sara Lanzi, Label Under Construction and A1923 (Augusta) respectively, so it's quite rare and hard to find these days except through collectors and occasional archives online.

== Engineered Garments ==
Designed by Daiki Suzuki, a Japanese dude living in Hell's Kitchen, NYC. Americana with a twist.
==== Resources ====
"With Engineered Garments, I don’t have a theme for each season. Instead, the basic idea is to have normal, regular clothes with an interesting perspective. For example, I like to focus on opposites—like I’ll use something that makes you think of hot weather for the cold seasons or I’ll focus on dark colors but throw in some white or I’ll let something look like it’s bad quality when it’s actually really good. I like the idea of Engineered Garments being made up of lots of different influences and ideas and lots of little details. And instead of coming together to form one particular theme, there’s always a certain sense of disintegration, of disparateness. That’s where the real beauty lies—in the lack of completion or lack of wholeness despite all the elements involved. And really, all of the elements are personal to me, so maybe it can be hard for other people to understand. It’s all part of my own unique world.

That said, I want people to have fun when they’re wearing Engineered Garments. I want them to take part in this world I’ve created. I think with most fashion brands, you pay a lot of money and then you have this ready-made outfit and it’ll definitely look good because it’s expensive and well made. But with Engineered Garments, I don’t want the clothes to look perfect immediately. I think people should have to put some work into it. I think it should only look really good if the clothes match your taste, and you bring something of yourself to it. I think of Engineered Garments as clothing for people who are really into clothing." - Daiki Suzuki[http://www.oipolloi.com/engineered-garments-homemade-in-hells-kitchen]

== In Aisce ==
Began in 2009, designed by Jona. Just Jona. He was born on a farm below the Rocky Mountains and has traveled around the globe, taking odd fashion jobs in a range of places, from Japan to Indonesia to Taiwan. "In Aisce" means "in vain" in Gaelic, which embodies Jona's brand philosophy--"I think that no matter what we do, if we don't do it right, it's "in vain"—fashion, especially." Influences come from many aspects of his life: music, architecture, nature, with many of his pieces channeling a nomadic, tribal theme, contrasting sharply with the geometric edges used in more recent collections. Textures also play a big part in his work, as they allow irregularity within the confines of the planned and confined space of clothing.

Sews like a drunken monkey, but he's no ape. Designed by its notoriously private namesake, the brand produces consistent, anti-seasonal designs, made in small mills around England. The clothes are inspired by turn-of-the-century agrarian uniforms, with his coats being the most prominent and recognizable pieces, notable for their utilitarian design and full bodied fit. It's hard to put your finger on what exactly makes Paul Harnden so memorable--is it the meticulously sewn and designed buttons, the loose but restricting cropped pants or the crumpled but sophisticated textures? One thing's for sure: Once you've seen Paul Harnden, you'll recognize him anywhere.

Excellent pants for the price and a must cop. Jeans are [[vanity]] size. The general rule of thumb is to size down 2 for Weird Guys and 1 for Skinny Guys (due to inevitable stretching).

If it's your first time, go for the Weird Guy fit in 1 size smaller than your normal waist (i.e. if you buy 30x32, get a 29). They might be a bit tough to button up at first, but they'll stretch into the perfect size. Weird Guys are the most universally flattering, and fit more body types than Skinny Guys. DO NOT buy slim guys, they're straight cut and usually look stupid.

(previous designer John Galliano was let go after going on an anti-semetic rant in a bar in paris after a showing during fashion week, freedom of speech is not included in the French constitution, his rant was against the law. the label had let him go shortly after)

"In Aisce" means "in vain" in Gaelic, which embodies Jona's brand philosophy--"I think that no matter what we do, if we don't do it right, it's "in vain"—fashion, especially." Influences come from many aspects of his life: music, architecture, nature, with many of his pieces channeling a nomadic, tribal theme, contrasting sharply with the geometric edges used in more recent collections. Textures also play a big part in his work, as they allow irregularity within the confines of the planned and confined space of clothing.

== Paul Harnden ==
Sews like a drunken monkey, but he's no ape. Designed by its notoriously private namesake, the brand produces consistent, anti-seasonal designs, made in small mills around England. The clothes are inspired by turn-of-the-century agrarian uniforms, with his coats being the most prominent and recognizable pieces, notable for their utilitarian design and full bodied fit. It's hard to put your finger on what exactly makes Paul Harnden so memorable--is it the meticulously sewn and designed buttons, the loose but restricting cropped pants or the crumpled but sophisticated textures? One thing's for sure: Once you've seen Paul Harnden, you'll recognize him anywhere.

Excellent pants for the price and a must cop. Jeans are [[vanity]] size. The general rule of thumb is to size down 2 for Weird Guys and 1 for Skinny Guys (due to inevitable stretching).

If it's your first time, go for the Weird Guy fit in 1 size smaller than your normal waist (i.e. if you buy 30x32, get a 29). They might be a bit tough to button up at first, but they'll stretch into the perfect size. Weird Guys are the most universally flattering, and fit more body types than Skinny Guys. DO NOT buy slim guys, they're straight cut and usually look stupid.

Up there with Rick Owens for popularity on /fa/. His earlier collections were rife with references to youth, teenage angst, violence. His newer collections have a more modern, futuristic, tailored approach.

Visvim transcends fashion, it's a lifestyle brand. Hiroki's lifestyle.
But in all honesty, it's heritage outdoorswear with a strong influence from Techwear, japanese outdoorswear/workwear influenced streetwear like white mountaineering and engineered garments, heritage menswear and heritage workwear, and a large amount of influence from various cultures, in particular native american indian and japanese culture.

real name is limi yamamoto, She took a new name after stumbling upon the word "feu" in a French dictionary.

Her latest collection had a few looks that paid homage to Christian Dior Couture, and the label's decision to take on Raf Simons after a year or so of having the atelier head the label. (previous designer John Galliano was let go after going on an anti-semetic rant in a bar in paris after a showing during fashion week, freedom of speech is not included in the French constitution, his rant was against the law. the label had let him go shortly after)

== Overview ==

[http://www.apc.fr A.P.C] is a French store with branches across the world, founded in 1988 by the Tunisian-Jewish born Designer Jean Touitou. A.P.C. stands for 'Atelier de Production et de Création'. The typical A.P.C. look is classically French - minimally preppy, slim-fitting, and would look equally at home in the 60s and today.

== Denim ==

A.P.C. is famous for its [[raw denim]]. There has been recent controversy about the quality of the denim, which has shifted manufacturing country[citation needed]. Their jeans come in a variety of fits (in rough order from skinniest to loosest):
*Cure
*Petit Standard
*Petit New Standard
*New Standard
*New Cure
*Rescue
