Does anybody actually notice or care about the brands you wear?

Usually just people on the street asking if my stuff is real or asking to hold it/touch it/examine it.

Usually just strangers

Why not, I can buy another jacket... they're.never going to be able to afford that jacket let them live a little

Maybe if more people got to wear some of my shit

You would hear less stupid shit like "doc martens are good quality I'll tel you what"

>>12007609
no because brand recognition is for hypebeasts, normies, and arabs

not often, an old gay coworker would comment when I wore Thom Browne because he was a fan and Thom Browne stuff is pretty obvious

The more visible the branding like logos and trademarks and shit, the tackier and more lame and loserish you look.

Like goochie, louie mutton, etc labels pasted on the product

You should be able to tell real fine quality leather shoes from pu or bonded steve maddens or a well tailored wool blazer from a haphazardly put together polyester one just by looking at it

People do notice quality, but price and branding do not exactly correlate with quality

I don't care about brands that much. I care about quality and design.
If I could find a zara/h&m/uniqlo that did Craig Green/Yohji/A1923 ripoffs with good stitching and good materials (basically pay for labor+materials and not the brand or design), I would just buy from them.
Problem is zara/h&m mostly rip off rick, ackerman and slp which I'm not that interested in and in the rare case they come up with something I do like (H&M's DIVIDED collection last year was a shameless ripoff of Ria Dunn), the materials and construction are pretty bad.

I hate the idea of advertising for something i paid for.

This. Unless you full on decide that's your style like nuggets do for their ghetto culture fashion, being a walking bilboard is fucking stupid and looms like shit.

I only buy brands that either don't display a visible logo, or do so in a tasteful way.

>>12008634
yeah i cant tell you how many times i hear dudes talking about different brands in the ghetto streetwear scene. bragging about jordans and their gucci belt.
but they dont really care about people who arent part of that culture and only really rip on each other.

>>12007609
Girls say I have a nice style, but yeah most people don't even care about the brand as long as it looks gud

>>12007619
What is it that you wear that makes people walk up to you and ask to touch it lmao
