High-quality brands

YSL, Y3, Rick Owens, Raf Simons, Pierre Hardy, Common Projects, Acne, APC, Julius, Ann D, Alpha Industries.
What you call pleb boring brads usually have neat stuff too, but they're a bit rare (Ralph Lauren has cool varsity jackets, for example).

uniqlo and H&M are pretty much GOAT of quality.

Raf Simons, Rick Owens....

>>9351433
>>9351449
>>9351454
So this is /fa/? A bunch of useless fucks recommending overpriced clothes?

What's next, redskins? Airmax?

Fucking tards.

Tailor for shirts/suits. Shoemaker for shoes, if not, a1923 or guidi or ccp. For denim look in japan, but i don't know much. Tees you could give rick owens a try, if you like exotic patterns.

Skip to 00:30 so you get the "Raf Simons, Rick Owens" joke.

Enjoy your stay friend :)

>>9351460
>Japanese denim
>Rick Tees
>Guidi and CCP shoes

Listen to this guy, all of these items will go great together :)

>>9351483
It seems like its mostly Americans posting here, hence the lack of fashion sense.

Kiton looked nice.

Any more suggestions? One mentioned Japanese denim brands, but didnt give any example.

Again, its supposed to be stylish and high-quality. No weird-looking overpriced American black-ghetto clothes.

Happy hunting

Find a local tailor, get a bespoked suit. Find a shoemaker, get custom shoes. You're making the money, stop buying off the rack. Off the rack is for scrubs.

>You're making the money, stop buying off the rack.

thats not how it works. e.g. custom-made shoes may fit your foot perfectly, but they always look like shit. always.

>>9351601
tom ford a shit

>>9351591
good list.

but paying $4k for a leather jacket would even hurt my monthly budget

Since you say you have money try looking at
Loro Piana if you want quality
Rick Owens outerwear/shoes. Tees are good too.
Prada If you want the prestige of a well known fashion brand but without the bullshit associated with Givenchy or Louie. Gucci sorta makes decent stuff. Sorta.
Sruli Recht if you like really cool pieces and don't mind looking around/second hand
Julius if you want crazy ass jeans
Boris if you want to look like a bum with money and don't mind throwing cash around. His outerwear and jeans are dope, just expensive.

>custom-made shoes may fit your foot perfectly, but they always look like shit. always.
pleb never heard of john lobb, george cleverly or even lazlo vass

stay pleb

>>9351433
Alpha industries wtf

Young business professional here.

I buy all my suits/work clothes from Brooks Brothers.

More conservative and classic look. I'm all about Gucci, Hermes, etc but the only stuff I wear on the clock is BB.

>>9351614
Wrong. Tom Ford's suits are made in the same italian factory as Zegna couture which is essentially the bench mark for high quality brands. I'd say it definitely belongs on any list that someone provides OP.

Additionally: Kiton, Brioni, Zegna, Brunello Cucinelli, Hermes.

>>9351763
Jesus fuck you are clueless as hell

>>9355522

He's right in the sense that it's fucking retarded to pay $5k for an off-the-rack Tom Ford when you can get a bespoke for the same price that will look a million times better.

On topic, don't go with Julius, RO or any of that shit unless you actually have an interest in that aesthetic. If you're just some dipshit with a bunch of money, invest in the pleb labels since you don't know what you're looking at anyway.

>>9355531
Well he didn't say that, he said the retarded fucking meme 'x a shit' which Tom Ford clearly is not and some of the tailoring in a TF suit wouldn't even be attempted by many bespoke tailors, so I don't think it's all that retarded.

>>9355543

There's nothing that special about a TF suit. They're basically just Zegna couture ready-to-wears at the end of the day.

>>9355558
zegna couture is pretty decent quality

also you wear a tom ford suit to tell everyone you're wearing a tom ford suit without saying anything

hence the price

>>9355570

I'm not disputing the fact that they're decent quality. It's just that I don't understand why you would pay $5k for one when that could get you a bespoke from a pretty decent tailor.

>>9355558
>They're basically just the highest quality ready made suits you could possibly own

There's still something to be said for this. I could have a tailor make simple adjustments to a suit to have it fit perfectly if necessary and I would be extremely reassured knowing my suit will be made from the best quality fabrics by some of the world's best couturiers. Some people have easier access to a tom ford retailer than an amazing tailor, because I don't think 'pretty decent' would compare

bespoke suits are nice but not all bespoke suits are nice

a good example of this is the sloppy finishing work and the poor pattern drafting of the bespoke suiting outfit steve harvey uses exclusively.

hideoki bespoke

they actually had this as a featured image on their site advertising their services

without going into a diatribe about suiting fabrics and bullshit

im just going to leave /fa/ to discover their own path and make those indochino mistakes, wear that brooks brothers 1818 and develop a natural progression into adulthood

>>9355622
That's what I'm getting at. It would take a top-tier tailor to even have the capability and access to materials to make a suit on par with whatever is being made at Zegna's factory. I guess people have an inbuilt cynicism toward luxury brands with most of what you hear being about offshoring product and reducing quality but there is certainly a few who are bucking the trend and when it comes to suiting TF definitely is. Anyway I've spent way too long talking about this, OP this is pretty definitive >>9351612, Tom Ford isn't shit, it's very high quality and by the sounds of it right up your alley
