Stoffa
Love the brand but I haven’t bought anything in a year. I purchased a pair of pleated linen trousers two years ago and their retail price was 375. Now their lowest priced pair of the same trousers in the current collection is 550, albeit the material is basketweave cotton. Still, I doubt the linen pants will be 375 still when they do a version of them later in the year

i have no talents or skills so i love buying shit. i get joy from acquiring well made goods. what i don't like is that the expectation for most companies is they have to keep growing x% in perpetuity or close down which inspires cost cutting that affects materials, workers, and craftsmanship and is inevitably a net loss for the customers and the brand once the customers lose trust

At surface level the choice of pieces is good. Color palette is solid. Navy oxford is a fine choice but there are plenty of other shirt colors that would work here too. White or white / blue stripe oxford are classic choices if you feel like changing it.
Jacket is laying somewhat oddly in the photo, particularly the way the bottom button juts out so far from the top button, but hard to tell much more from just one picture.

Appropriation vs Appreciation - Topic of the day 2/10/25
i think if you're going to wear something clearly not from your own culture you should be prepared to be scrutinized even if your intentions are pure. i think the problem is a lot of white folks buckle under any kind of scrutiny related to sensitive topics like this, even if they legitimately mean well

interesting, yeah. my native friend really liked and wanted to support that collection so she did. i thought so many of the designs would be impossible for me to wear as a white person (nor did i really like them) but one must assume that in the Business of Fashion™️ that widespread adoption is anticipated by the execs in boardrooms dreaming up these kinds of collaborations

Womenswear vs Menswear - Topic of the day 12/22/24
In a broader sense I think the distinction between menswear and womenswear is purely marketing m and the only times I find myself functionally unable to wear something from the womenswear section is usually related to pants pockets

Womenswear vs Menswear - Topic of the day 12/22/24
I really liked the no man walks alone Chinatown campaign. my gf and I trade clothes sometimes and seeing inspo like that always makes us think to try stuff from each other’s closets that we might not gravitate to normally.

I like the buck mason made in US tees and I think they’re not a bad value. Some of the collab stuff they’ve done is interesting as well but don’t own any of it.
