Essential The Coli's GQ Thread: Men's Fashion

[ViShawn]

Saw this the other day and it makes you reeeeeeeeally think twice about what you spend on footwear and how hype/perception has people believing these brands are “quality”

He tore those kicks in and basically said they are a fukking joke. I bet some of these footwear brands flat out hate this dude. But if you are spending $200+ on some sneakers it better look better than some b*stardized Stan Smiths and have far superior materials.

You always pay a luxury tax for items labeled as luxury so the thing is are you willing to pay that. I'm not.

I bought some new CPs that were worn once for $180. I'll buy some Koios or something which are very good quality for the price.

This video made me never want to purchase common projects again.

I'd still buy them but NEVER retail. Never have and never will.

Even less than retail I’m not fukking with them. Rather cop some margielas

 

[ViShawn]

I kinda wanna do a group buy with someone for these.

Shop and Earn

 

[Astroslik]

Anyone here ever wore ministry of supply?

 

[Ahadi]

Anyone cop any Chelsea boots from Oro Los Angeles? How was your experience with them?

I haven't but Blake Construction is a sign of quality.

Bought some Koio sneakers for sale around $180 in a muted grey which I will think will look nice with denim and will pop out when wearing all black. Next to my Common Projects for comparison.

On my list!

The Dean Chelsea Boot - Oxblood

sashiko denim seems to be the trend in Japan right now. Every denim shop I went to in and around Tokyo had some kind of this style.

I got these Kapital ones because they were the most unique with a gray and indigo stiching they form a pattern on the front of the jean and back pockets. Most of the other brands were dark indigo stitch work that didn’t really show the craftsmanship.

What do you all think of this polo

Where'd you find this, Breh?

I can be on some casual/hipster shyt with this shirt.

I googled GQ polo shirts to find that one.

The Best Polo Shirts Are the Easiest Way to Look Handsomer

But since then I have found a brand called Reiss that has a similar aesthetic

I've ordered this this few days ago but haven't received it yet. I liked its vintage look. I ordered this one too

What do you think?

I like those ribbed polos but it's too damn hot where I'm at to wear them.
