Advice on shopping on RealReal

Heads up, there are plenty of other sites that sell second hand. Highly recommend Vinted for Europe, I've gotten so many clothes from their, but they don't have physical authentication if that's what you want. Also consider vestiaire and grailed.

Honestly the difference between a Uniqlo supima and a Sunspel tee isn't that massive and unless you care a ton about basics, the latter is probably fine especially if you aren't rocking a giant budget

I own sunspel. They are slightly overrated. Obviously good shirts but I find the quality of Son Of A Tailor to be better and cheaper. The heavier weight sunspels are ok but I don't really like the lightweight ones, but that's personal preference.

Hong Kong stockists/travel recs

If you like selvedge denim, Take5 is a must visit. A bit hard to find but they have a super wide range of Japanese brands definitely worth checking out. I'd also been to kapok which has a few locations near the southern part of the island. I've seen brands like lady white, Norse projects, common projects, amongst others there.

What Do You Splurge On? - Topic of the day 9/28/24

Private white V.C flight jacket. $350 used, already a brilliant deal but still by far the most expensive thing I own. No regrets though. Only other thing I'd spend that much money on is a pair of nice jeans.

Tbh Im not a big expert on lower end denim/mainstream brands. Id just stick to something made of 100% cotton ideally, definitely ensure no polyester is in there. A bit of elestane is fine in a slim/skinny Jean. And heavier is usually good for durability, most high end jeans are 14.5oz so you'd want something closer to than if possible, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that. Most brands don't list fabric weight though. That's just some general guidelines, not something make or break. Fit is also super important. If you can try them on irl, obviously that's better. Don't get something that hugs your legs. Make sure it doesn't fall down without a belt. Form fitting VS baggy is ur preference. Oh and consider second hand. You can sometimes get great stuff if ur looking to save on cash. Apart from that I can't help much more unfortunately.

Just wanted to add, if u just want good quality, consider The Unbranded Brand for jeans. $100 or so for a pair. This is raw denim BTW. They are raw and rigid but break in after a few weeks and become fairly soft (but not generic Jean soft) over time. Much prefer them over generic jeans, better quality fabric and hardware and they are selvedge too. Plus they create sick fades. And it feels like wearing armor.

Grailed - tips & tricks for a first time user

Advice for negotiating, offer 60% at first. If the product is super niche, expensive, or hasn't sold in multiple months, use those as arguments for extra power. Usually the seller will then agree upon 70-85% depending on your luck. If you are really lucky, they agree to 60%. If you start out with 80%, you will usually end up at 90%. Also make sure you know what sort of taxes you are paying. If your seller is in the US and shipping is pricy, suggest them to use pirateship which offers significantly better rates (like half the price).
