i always kinda regret buying expensive tees desu. for sure undercover has a shit ton of nice graphics, but for the money I'd rather get something more substantial.

I would probably pay max $100, and only if there's something special about it (unique fit, material, dying process). Buying expensive t-shirts that just have the brand logo on them is hypebeast as hell, it's like you like the brand itself and its connotations more than the brand's actual designs. But I guess it's a good moneymaker for the more experimental labels.

Yeah, I recall going to check out the Uniqlo x Lemaire stuff, and the shirts actually felt like they were made of better material iirc, so I could justify paying a bit more for that. I can see where you're coming from, though.

I don't like spending crazy amounts on t's but I can justify around 100-150 for some nice basics. Acne Studios, Wings + Horns, T by Wang, John Elliott all make nice simple great quality t's. The most I've ever payed was like 250 for a Y-3 t-shirt, but it was elongated and had a cool cut and awesome panel stitching so honestly I dodn't even have buyer's remorse

i'd say max like 150, esp since i end up buying so damn many of them

Undercover shirt for $50 is a steal. Don't bother with the Uniqlo collabs. His scab collection is goat.

With graphic tees, outside of streetwear, undercover, raf and cdg shirt is usually the only acceptable. Band tees ONLY IF YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE and prep basics (ie APC, maison kitsune etc) work sometimes too. Never heat transfers, only screenprints and stitches/patchwork.

No. Full body squares are unflattering, the rallizes and ash ra shirts are definitely fake - and you should only be rocking an ash ra shirts ironically anyway - and Health is as uncool today as a unknown pleasures tee. kys

you can always make your own designs and print them on tees? or just copy what ever you find online. would that be a lot cheaper, thought about doing that myself, but not sure what the price or quality would be like?

Yeah im interested in how expinsive it would be to set up a press and how hard it is to copy designs and so forth.

>>11197559
Wouldn't say 50 bucks is a "steal". They go for around that much pretty frequently on YJ and Rakuten.

>>11197744
I feel like that's just cheating, though. Like, I get it, there are cool graphics, but faking them is just…fake. If you're gonna print graphics on tees, you might as well make your own graphics instead of copying someone else's.

I mean, it's not that far off from wearing fake Yeezys or printing "Vetements" on a cheap raincoat or something.

>and you should only be rocking an ash ra shirts ironically anyway

if you do anything "ironically" you're a fucking dweeb of the highest order

>>11197339
w2c Ash Ra Temple shirt?

>>11197330
max i would pay maybe 50 bucks
i think some tees would be worth it to pay a more expensive price for but not for me with my economy

That's a dumb article, it's trying to critically engage vetement's irony by commenting on the class of people sporting their clothes.

Vetements isn't being /worn/ ironically, the label's design incorporates elements of irony, appropriation etc. Which, again, is nothing new in fashion, as the article alludes to with Goscha, another contemporary engaging in a similar practice.

An example of wearing an ash ra tee ironically would be incorporating it into a kraut/psych rock inspired fit, or one deconstructing the era's look. And their imagery and sound is itself in engagement with psychedelic rock imagery, which itself involves heavy appropriation (ie the s/t's egyptian motifs, the logo's 'groovy' font etc) with varying degrees of irony.
