What are some of your favorite brands that aren't big box sotres
I'm looking for anything that isn't your Uniqlo, Jcrew, H&M, or other international name brands. Any price point is fine, any site worldwide is also fine too

might need more to go on here. what sort of style are you looking for? and when you say name brand, you mean a huge brand that doesn't have its own store?
you could give #brands a browse as a starting point

I discover a lot of new brands just by browsing the major online stockists... Ssense, Mr Porter, Matches Fashion, END Clothing
Outlier, Patagonia, Dehen 1920, Columbiaknit (for rugby shirts), Alternative Apparel
American Giant makes great athletic/casual clothing. Flint and Tinder is a good mix of workwear and semi-casual. Both have a lot of made-in-America products
So I kind of meant it to be open ended...I didn't have a style in mind...I was kinda hoping to get some inspo by browsing clothing made by anyone who isn't a major western clothing retailer, ie: stores that aren't guarunteed to be in every major city @Wiggs give a great set for me to start digging into...didn't know about the #brands channell, will check it out
Lot of good suggestions above - I wanted to throw Relwen in as well.
depends on what is your type
old money aesthetic, streetwear, casual, high fashion, etc
