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.

Very nice. One of the more entry level high fashion brands along with rick owens and raf simons

Naked and Famous

Reviews

Excellent pants for the price and a must cop. Jeans are vanity size. The general rule of thumb is to size down 1 for Weird Guys and 2 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

Currently designed by Hiroki Nakamura

Reviews

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.

Grails for many. Fuckexpensive, but nice.
