Good thing you didn't try get it from supreme on drop day, a slow sell out time for them on a hyped item is under 20 seconds from drop.
They are ridiculously priced, only recently acquired to be fair they were initially a Japanese brand I belive.

Funny brand mostly just stick there logo on stuff from other brands and sell for huge mark up never mind the resell mark up.
There own gear is decent quality, sorry to say your young fella is on the path to being a hype beast haha

The eBay auction had over 200+ watchers, edge of my seat stuff, luckily finished at some random time early morning, pure luck that I won it, it is a good quality jumper though, but still essentially a black jumper with a red logo...

Feeling my age, googled hype beast, absolute fact! Nike blazes are another favorite of his.....

But you absolutely must lower the suspension to such a point that you can't get over the speed bumps anymore. Not that they have speed bumps in the country of course. Just potholes

Unless they are wearing bootcut jeans. T-shirt tucked in. Silver thick chain. & a Superdry coat.

Then they should listen.

I wonder is it as much as a crime for women wearing Superdry? :pac:

The clothes are horrible imo, but I've a black puffer coat & its nice. Has only a small logo on the arm so its not in your face tacky. I don't bother wearing it anymore because a drop of rain on it & your soaked through

It is de rigueur in the Capital to wear Canada Goose now they've moved on from the Superdry Northface era .

The newer designs are a lot less of the branding, which is what I’d go for.. just a small logo, I hate any brand or labels that want to turn you into a human billboard...Bench being an example.

Tried one. Cheap rubbish. Tried Regatta slightly cheaper equally rubbish. Now I buy my coats in outdoor stores and go for the likes of North Face. If they wear them on Everest they'll do fine in Ennis. You have to pay a little extra for quality.

I've been to Ennis. North Face is not enough.

Ah its crazy stuff in hype beast land haha
To be fair they are good quality and wear well but the price is eye watering for some stuff.

I'm a sneaker head more so than hype beast be thankful he's not mad into them too, some nike shoes that retail for €100 go for well over €1k.
You've a lot to look forward to ha

Super dry used to do really good denim.

In fact, it was a pair of super dry denims that I bought in 2007 that got me back into wearing denim again after years.

Unless you have huge amounts of money and time available to shop for those clothes which are most in fashion, and unless you already are genuinely embedded within the upper socioeconomic classes of society in an organic and natural way (not through conscious effort) to enable you to have instinctual sense for what is considered acceptable by people who are deemed in a general way to belong to these higher, fashionable classes, you are NEVER going to be able to keep up with the never-ending fashion treadmill.

There isn't enough room at the top of the pyramid for everyone and you can't just choose to put yourself there while remaining authentic to yourself and innocent of the crime of being a social climber, who by implication is judgmental of others who wear clothes which they deem to betray lower socioeconomic status.

The more people who buy a brand of clothing which was once the height of fashion, the less fashionable it becomes. You are better off just accepting partial defeat from the start and allowing yourself to lie midway on the fashion treadmill, being a "typical" consumer like the majority of people and just getting on with your life ie. Neither dressing consciously unfashionable in an attitude of spite, nor denying that the fashion industry exists based on this fashion treadmill and peoples insecurities at being considered lower status.

Just buy stuff at a reasonable price you can afford from a mixture of the high street, occasional penneys and occasional treat from the likes of House of Fraser. At least then you are not chasing something unobtainable in the form of being constantly at the cutting edge of fashion and never wearing anything that "only riff raff/ culchies/ losers" wear. By consciously accepting it is okay to be average you'll save yourself a lot of time, money and face too (if you don't try to put yourself out there as somebody who only wears high-end clothes people will be less inclined to cringe when you inevitably "slip up"). If you have a good income, save it for other more important things than buying unnecessarily expensive clothes.

There are plenty folk ignoring fashion who are consistently stylish. Fast fashion is in itself unpalatable to many

The likes of bootcut jeans, luminously tagged superdry jackets, ripped skinny jeans & nasty pleather shoes and boots are/were never stylish despite what the fast fashion outlets would try and portray.

- Keep in shape
- Wear clothes that fit, made from good quality materials.
- Wear the right balance of colours ( Black, white, light grey, dark grey, navy, maroon, khaki )
- Keep the label discreet.
- Don't wear sports gear unless you're directly involved in sports.

TXPTGR1

Materials is a big basic one that I keep an eye on
A lot of companies/and menswear outlets count on men being uneducated on this point/not being able to read a label.

With minimal enough effort online you can find stuff that isnt much more expensive than what’s in a lot of menswear places but of far better quality material wise and style wise.

I will pay more for quaity but you end up saving in the long run

Conversely a lot of the expensive stuff you see in the likes of brown Thomas is actually very poor quality but the morons it’s targeted at don’t care

It's amazing how many grown men wear those grey cloth tracksuit bottoms into town and shopping etc, it's like something toddler would wear.

They have to be tapered on the legs, like a real knacker, to catch my eye

Indeed, I reckon he's thinking of folk who dressed well in the 70s without being slaves to fashion, ie folk who didn't wear flares etc.

It wasn’t “confined” to the seventies either, does this appear comfortable?




do you think he regretted his choices that day.

Those were the days. Went to the local for a few pints after work. Pair of snickers work pants and no risk boots. Before I hit for town a quick spray of lynx and put on a half zip.

Isn't it meant to be just a google translate type poor translation of the words Super Dry?

It is a UK company and has no actual links to Japan.

The red jackets with massive white writing are obnoxious but I’ve a black insulated raincoat that I absolutely love and the only branding is a small, subtle grey HH on the right arm.

Anyone remember Lowe Alpine? When I was a young’un that was theee brand of fleece to be wearing. Spotted an older gent in a LA coat when I was out for a walk the other day, had forgotten it ever was a thing. Are they still manufacturing, anyone know?

They had a factory in Offaly that closed down around 20 years ago. Not sure where they moved production to.

They’re still going but I haven’t seen anyone wearing it for ages.

According to wiki, Rab bought them in 2011 and the brand stopped making clothing in 2014.
