This page is under heavy construction. All information presented below needs to be reviewed. Please excuse the mess while we clean up and streamline this information.

Store Tiers

Shit-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. Tumblr-core usually fits around here.

Medium-tier: Some entry level designer pieces, and at this point the clothes are very "nice". Quality menswear/streetwear often fits in this category. Fit and build quality are high.

Note: If you feel you can define High/artisanal better please do, I just put some placeholder text in. There. I did it and removed the gothninja trolling stuff.

High-tier: High fashion, designer pieces. Top tier menswear as well as some light gothninja pieces can be found here.

Artisanal-tier: Hand-made with skill that approaches that of an artist. This has nothing to do with design and everything to do with production methods. A boring design done fully by hand (example: a full bespoke two button suit) is 'artisianal'. Many designers source their clothing from artisans, but not all designer clothing is 'artisianal'.

PLEASE NOTE THESE TIERS ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES. A lot of stores stock items which can be of varying quality and price ranges.

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 if your Mom buys all of your Supreme for you.

Buffalo Exchange Shop that buys clothing and resells at a drastically reduced cost, generally 20-50% of original price. Needs sifting, but they are selective in what they buy through their own self-proclaimed "style experts," meaning employees who know not to buy your dad's old clothes. Content varies wildly by location and is generally reflective of what is available in the area. For example, NYC shops carry higher end clothing found in the immediate vicinity such as Odin and AllSaints as well as mall brands while in Philadelphia the Rittenhouse location simply carries fast fashion and a few J. Crew pieces. If money is any kind of issue than these are always worth looking into, as the low prices and constantly changing selection can lead to wonderful discoveries. Selling back however generally isn't worth it.

Amsterdam

http://www.zipperstore.nl/ Pretentious thrift store catering the legions of hipsters that flock and scream at anything that looks like fake leather loafers or hats with feathers in them. They occasionally have some decent shoes/clothing if you are lucky, prices are quite high compared to what you get. Zipper also sells Cheap Monday jeans/chino's for retail price. The staff is very nice and helpful

http://www.episode.eu/splash.jsp Another 'expensive' thrift store, has similar stuff as the previous mentioned Zipper although they don't sell anything new. Staff is very aware that they are in a 'hip' store and act like they are the best which is why (writer) avoid it like the plague. They do have a nice selection of leather briefcases and scarves.

http://lauradols.nl/ Thrift store mostly catering women's clothing. They do have a small section of men which often has some nice gems if you're lucky. The owners also tailor a lot to cater to a younger audience (the owner told me). Prices are quite high but you can find some 'haute couture' pieces now and then. Really friendly staff.

http://www.bijons-vintage.nl Small thrift store selling men's and women's clothing, shoes,scarves, furniture, record players and a lot more. Prices are a bit lower than previously mentioned stores but the selection is basically all Large or Extra Large. You really need to look for something nice. Staff can be arrogant but also nice depending who's behind the counter.

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. http://global.rakuten.com/en/ http://www.yahoo.co.jp/
