Revision as of 22:02, 31 May 2013
This page is under heavy construction. Please excuse the mess while we clean up and streamline this information.
The current revision involves a shift from a list format to a table format. Descriptions really need looked at.
PROTIP: Use the sort buttons at the top of the tables to sort by name or tier.
Store Tiers
Shit/Tacky-tier: The stores that are a common beginner's trap, and should be avoided. Often have poor build quality, fit, and just look plain bad.
Mall-tier/Fast Fashion: Good for basics; t-shirts, underwear, socks, etc. Recommended for poorfags. Buy sparsely and do NOT build a large wardrobe with these stores.
Low-tier: Bit more pricey, but at this stage odds are you'll be dressed much better than people around you. Build quality is a cut above mall tier.
Middle-tier:
High-tier:
Artisanal-tier:

| Brand | Tier | Description | Website | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Iconic | Low | Pretty huge range with decent quality, ships around the country. | http://www.theiconic.com.au/ | |
| Foot-Locker | Shit | Good if you need shoes for sports, but for things like air jordans/adidas originals you'll find much better prices elsewhere. | www.footlocker.com.au/ | |
| HypeDC | Mall/Fast fashion | Not bad for sneakers, they sell limited run shoes that may be hard to find elsewhere. Stock Vans, Supra, Adidas, etc. Can be a bit pricey. | http://www.hypedc.com/ | |
| Kmart | Shit | Only for underwear/socks. | http://www.kmart.com.au/ | |
| Connor | Shit | Similar to YD except worse, tries to do menswear, but often poorly fitted and terrible build quality. Every man and his dog shops there though, avoid at all costs. | http://www.connor.com.au/ | |
| Tarocash | Shit | Pretty much identical to Connor, stay away. | http://www.tarocash.com.au/ | |
| Asos | Mall/Fast fashion | For the home brand quality can be variable, although as the price entails it usually isn't the best. The site also offers items from higher-tier brands. Frequent sales. | http://www.asos.com/ | |

| Roger David/RDX | Mall/Fast fashion | Similar to Industrie in that its at the higher end of mall tier, not a bad place to start out if you have no clue. Only buy when on sale. | http://www.rogerdavid.com.au/ | |
| General Pants Co. | Mall/Fast fashion | A mixed bag of trendy/streetwear, you will have to dig a bit to find something good. | http://www.generalpants.com.au/ | |
| Culture Kings | Medium | Decent quality streetwear options, plenty of imported stuff thats tricky to get in Australia. | http://www.culturekings.com.au/ | |

Stores in the United States

| AllSaints | Medium | http://www.allsaints.com/ | |
| American Apparel | Mall/Fast fashion | Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Tees fit well even for slimmer people. | http://www.americanapparel.net/ |
| American Eagle | Mall/Fast fashion | Fairly terrible quality, bright and only slightly branded basics. Shirts are a bit long, usually go a bit past the waist. Pants fit a bit weird, and you get what you pay for with shoes. |
http://www.ae.com/ |
| April77 | Medium | April77 is notable for their large selection jeans which come in many different sizes, cuts, and colors. | http://www.april77-shop.com/ |
| Archival Clothing | Medium | Great outdoorsy backpacks, and some other vintage-inspired clothes | http://store.archivalclothing.com/ |
| Asos | Mall/Fast fashion | For the home brand quality can be variable, although as the price entails it usually isn't the best. The site also offers items from higher-tier brands. Frequent sales. | http://www.asos.com/ |
| Atelier New York | High | "Goth-ninja" stuff. Everything is black, grey, or white. | http://www.ateliernewyork.com/ |
| Banana Republic | Mall/Fast fashion | http://www.bananarepublic.com/ | |
| Barneys New York | High | From high "goof" to Hamptons prep, anything that's expensive will be on here. | http://www.barneys.com/ |
| Bergdorf Goodman | High | Similar to Neiman Marcus but with even more expensive labels. | http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/ |
| Blackbird | Uncategorized | http://www.blackbirdballard.com/ | |
| Blue in Green | High | Mainly sells raw denim. | http://www.blueingreensoho.com/ |
| Cos | Low | http://www.cosstores.com | |
| Cotton On | Mall/Fast fashion | Dirt cheap basics (<$10); great sales. It can be hard to find good fits here, but the upside is that you won't have wasted a lot of money if you decide you don't like something. | http://www.cottonon.com/ |
| Everlane | Low | Their tees are generally well liked and they claim to offer the same quality as more expensive brands but with less markup. | http://www.everlane.com/ |
| Express | Mall/Fast fashion | Good for better-fitting dress clothes. | http://www.express.com/ |
| Forever 21 | Mall/Fast fashion | Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but quality is sometimes dubious. Best to use for experimenting with styles without shelling out too much money. | http://www.forever21.com/ |
| Frank & Oak | Low | Good quality menswear basics. I wouldn't recommend them for taller guys, as everything seems to run a bit short. Free shipping. | http://www.frankandoak.com/ |
| Gant | Medium | http://www.gant.com/ | |
| Gap | Mall/Fast fashion | http://www.gap.com/ | |
| H&M | Mall/Fast fashion | Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. | http://www.hm.com/ |
| I Heart Yours | Mall/Fast fashion | Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes. | http://www.iheartyours.com/ |
| J. Crew | Low | Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer. | http://www.jcrew.com/ |
| JCPenney | Mall/Fast fashion | Good place to cop Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet. | http://www.jcpenney.com/ |
| Karmaloop | Low | Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount. | http://www.karmaloop.com/ |
| Kith | Medium | http://www.kith.com/ | |
| Levi | Low | Large selection of jeans (among other things) in a variety of colors and cuts. The quality is beginner level in their cheaper jeans not made in the USA. Levi's often has sales, so avoid buying at full retail. Avoid if you live outside NA, ridiculous markups. | http://levi.com/ |
| Macy's | Mall/Fast fashion | http://www.macys.com/ | |
| Mr. Porter | High | http://mrporter.com/ | |
| Nordstrom | Medium | http://nordstrom.com/ | |
| Old Navy | Mall/Fast fashion | Pretty inexpensive clothing, the fits can be a bit off. Sometimes there are passable pieces. Definitely go to a store to try things on before buying. | http://www.oldnavy.com/ |
| Pull & Bear | Mall/Fast fashion | Similar to H&M, but more colorful | http://www.pullandbear.com/ |
| Ralph Lauren | Mall/Fast fashion | http://www.ralphlauren.com/ | |
| Revolve Clothing | Medium | Revolve Clothing offers 20% off on first purchases if you email them with your order number. | http://www.revolveclothing.com/ |
| River Island | Mall/Fast fashion | Extremely similar to TOPMAN. | http://www.riverisland.com/ |
| Target | Mall/Fast fashion | The Mossimo athletic fit t-shirts are decent and the Merona line is a good way to fill up a new white collar worker's wardrobe on a budget with some tailoring. If you can find what you need on the clearance racks and do your own alterations, it is very good value. | http://www.target.com/ |
| TOPMAN | Mall/Fast fashion | Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent. Their Stretch skinny jeans and chinos stretch out quite a bit. Suits and blazers are great looking especially considering the price. | http://www.topman.com/ |
| Uniqlo | Low | Above-average quality basics, recommended for entry level. | http://www.uniqlo.com/ |
| Urban Outfitters | Mall/Fast fashion | Decent clothes, a little more on the expensive side of fast fashion. | http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/ |
| Yoox | Medium | http://yoox.com/ | |
| Zara | Mall/Fast fashion | http://www.zara.com/ |

High Tier
- Unionmade One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often.

Uncategorized Tier
- MyHabit Requires an Amazon.com account.
Here are weird sort of Japanese Ebays but things go crazy cheap here. Talked to heaps of people that have found anything from Yohji Yamamoto to pre-2000s Helmut Lang and MMM for less than $50.
It sort of requires heaps of dedication and watching so idk, ive never put in the effort myself.

Thrift Stores
goodwill.org Complete crapshoot, great for poorfags and trustfund babies looking for "vintage" stuff. Brings in new stuff on Wednesday. Pricing is unilateral for all clothing, be it horrible Gildan cotton tees or ancient, high quality suit stuff. Physically hurts your dignity being here.
