Revision as of 14:34, 2 June 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.
BIG FUCKING NOTICE: ALL INFORMATION PRESENTED BELOW NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED. DATA WAS MERELY COPIED FROM FORMAT TO FORMAT. PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE CHANGES WHERE NECESSARY.
PROTIP: Use the sort buttons at the top of the tables to sort by name or tier.

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
High-tier: High fashion, designer pieces. Top tier menswear as well as some light gothninja pieces can be found here.
Artisanal-tier: Avant-Garde and higher end gothninja pieces, you truly are #nxtlvl.
PLEASE NOTE THESE TIERS ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES. A lot of stores stock items which can be of varying quality and price ranges.

High Tier
- Unionmade One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often.
- Superdenim Great for "heritage" menswear and some streetwear.
- Tres Bien Mostly streetwear, but they also have a pretty good formalwear selection. Probably the cheapest shop you will find for designer stuff, some nice discount codes from time to time.
- Guyiconsignment Carries some high fashion brands such as DRKSHADOW, BALENCIAGA, DAMIR DOMA, DIOR, RAF SIMONS, and YOHJI YAMAMOTO.
- farfetch Boutique shopping aggregator.
- LN-CC Online & London, UK
- Leffot Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg.
- Epaulet New York Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models.
- HICKOREE'S Heritage-focused menswear.
- Neiman Marcus Lots of menswear but carries a small amount of goof as well. Think Scott Disick.
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.
