You know who makes real nice tees? Land's end. I get plain tees at a discount store and they had Land's end tees there the last time I was there. I bought like 5 of them for like 1.99 a piece. They are my favorite tees now. I need to buy some more.

i think nike is probably the most stable brand out there in terms of shoes. i dont know anyone who doesnt have a pair of nikes. they are a staple in everyones wardrobe.
i dont wear levis anymore, but they seem to be the standard brand everyone thinks of in terms of jeans.
ditto for RL Polo for polo shirts.
why are these the brands majority of people rock? what makes a levi jean better than the rest?
nike, polo, levis...they are forever dope, i agree
but why are they forever dope?
is it because their product is actually superior in terms of quality, comfort and style? are their prices cheaper than comparable brands?
or is it just because they have had better advertising and our minds are programmed to associate them with dopeness and that fact combined with everyone around us rocking them, makes us need to rock them, just so we can fit in, on some high school mentality type ish.

I wear Nike's for the simple fact that they're made in Vietnam.. just like hardened war veterans.
I'm usually rocking Hilfiger or Buffalo jeans.
I'm too hard to wear shirts.. or I just can't afford to. Recognize.

As for Levis, they have the perfect combo of fit and price. 511's and 514's fit better than 99% of the other jeans out there, and they are around 25-40 bucks all day, and easy to find. I like some other jeans too, but nothing else is as sure fire as Levis.
Nike is a staple just for the fact that they do it better than most others, and they have a HUGE array of available product. Plus, with lots of nike shit hype gets involved, and thats a big factor for some.
As for the rest of my personal picks...
StillLife makes what is hands down the best hats around. Worth every penny of the exorbitant price.
Cheap Monday jeans fit well, are cheap, and have some nice washes.
Stussy makes nice button ups and jackets, and they are somewhat reasonably priced.
AA fits well, is cheap, and comfortable.
RayBan's are classic, and will never go out of style, and they are reasonably priced when compared to other sunglasses, plus they are made really really well.
Vans are classic, and cheap, and come in a wide array of variations.
Visvim is retarded, over priced, over hyped and well made. But my favorite shoes I own are visvims, so I like em. They have some great stuff, and some really questionable stuff. |

clothing -Polo, Stussy, J.crew, Mighty Healthy, Crooks and Hustles, and Levis (i need to get some other streetwear shirts and some new stussy shit)
hats - just the old nike fitted hats i have (and new era)
shoes - nikes, new balance, vans, rockport, cole haan, timbaland and Clarks
jackets - Polo, North Face ...but would like to explore other companies in the future
suits - if i still had a real job, i'd convert to Hickey Freeman exclusively, but them and Ralph Lauren.
Glasses- it really depends, I like Revo Oakley on the sport tip, and Armani, RayBan, and Persol for other things. Some of the Gucci and Prada glasses are nice, i might have to get a pair of one of those brands if the time and product is right
Watch - I only own a Citizen watch and a Kenneth Cole (don't really like this one but it was a present). Again don't have a job so can't branch out much here... I want to though. |

Is there any particular reason for this?
I've read comments on several different sites about people rocking the same pants everyday. Is it a fashion thing? I don't know anybody who does this.

with most selvage denim when you first buy them they are hella stiff etc. as you wear them they fade certain ways and become more comfortable and nicer. they also develop honeycombs and stuff.
i just got some wesc x stash jeans. its gonna take me a while to break those bad boys in. they are stiff as fuck.

I'm assuming he means he'll find a jean he likes, get 3-4 shades of denim, maybe 2 of each color, and rock that until he finds something better or they all wear out.
I do this. |
