Color.
Supply chain transparency
Wish more hemp was used. also more pleats! i want more pleated shorts optinos!
Chinese clothing, similar to how Japanese and Indian brands have modernized their traditional styles
need more tchotchkes on my shit i love unnecessary ribbons, bits of metal, etc
I would love to see more upcycling to make unique and characterful clothes. For example, By Walid finds some super interesting fabrics, and while unrealistic for my price range, I think the approach is super cool and could be applied to so many aesthetics
Tassels. I want tassels on jackets, tassels on pants, tassels on everything.
Wool flares
Bold plaid long overcoats
ok Nomura
That cool cotton that is grown colored so you can skip dyeing, need some of that made into some shirts

Guy who does the final fantasy character designs
weeg you're not a 29 waist right? I saw some good junyas in my searches
Infamous for his tchotchkes
more tops (tees and button ups specifically) with shorter lengths but “average” or regular pit to pit measurements. it’s hard to find button ups that are short enough for me but not too slim in the chest
Nah im a 33-34 kinda guy!

I would love to see more “illegal” layering as @hecklebuckle called it, i need to see at least one union suit under jorts this winter.
more inteior pockets on casual jackets
or coats in general
I wish nice wool clothing was more affordable.
eBay
I wish ebay to NZ shipping was less of a total piss take

Size 41 tabis that aren’t 2k NZD

What's a tabi?
A shoe that makes your parents go “what’s wrong with your shoes”
More $25 suits
I want Cone Mills White Oak back
I know about Vidalia but it’s just not the same
"Quality", whatever that means. I wish $5 tees and disposable shoes were not the norm. (Says the man who just bought a $25 suit)
eBay search for made in USA Polo Ralph Lauren chino shorts
I haven’t handled any Vidalia denim but what about it is not the same as Cone?
i have 😭

I’m about to pull the trigger on a pair for myself for next summer
they look great!
really bummed more places don't make it like that. there some rl still sells but its just like 2 colorways
Interesting. Left Field NYC just released a deadstock Cone jacket. I’m sure a few other brands have some stockpiles too
Yeah that’s fair. A little more variety would be nice
Mary Janes, more pleats on pants, pleated wool skirts, big coats with big lapels, double breasted navy blazers with gold buttons
Gramicci came out with a pleated wool skirt this season and I think it's awakened something in me
Garmentory
Gramicci Wool Talecut Skirt - Light Grey on Garmentory
Gramicci's Wool Talecut Skirt is a long flare outdoor life skirt featuring a random tuck. It boasts all the benefits of wool clothing without the drawbacks.

This is so sick and I am so sad I cannot fit it
I can vouch for pleated wool skirts being very satisfying to wear
its gramicci too, so perfect for climbing i assume
I need to start wearing skirts climbing
At least for bouldering
