first
>>10671947
Thats an awesome way of having the sock crimping them down like that
I really like that.
>>10671955
yeah, looks hella cool, i tought that it was a part of the shoe at first
>>10671932
God I loved Sphinx womens
Someone in last thread mentioned getting tech runners cheap from "colissimo"? What is that, I can't find anything with Google.
>>10672044
Ohhhh wait I got it. Colossimo is a French shipping company. Where did you get them?
>>10672044
Heh, I imagine he got them from grailed or Ebay and colissimo were the couriers
>>10672040
Best.
This is actually my iPhone lock screen.

How do you guys /wrapupwarm/ in rickydicky
>>10672149
And ignorantly declaring your views so brashly isnt cringe?
>>10672112
hey nahk ive sent you an email about that geo, hope i didnt fuck up the address
>see rick moto jacket on grailed for around 234
has to be fake, right?
https://www.grailed.com/listings/58244-rick-owens-motorcycle-jacket
>>10672225
I mean there isnt any tag pictures or anything, but the non-leather jackets really dont go big money. 250 is definitely on the lower end of what you would find but they tend not to be sort after so much
>>10672240
i guess you're right, I'm usually skeptical about seeing rick outerwear for so low though, might be a good deal or might be a rip off, just have to find out.
>>10672225
considering its made of polyester and doesnt look too good, the price isnt low enough
>>10672251
Please, please dont just buy something Rick just because its cheap! Been seeing that alot recently, some people just buy something on Yoox just becuase its $100, doesnt matter if its garbage (yes Rick does make some garbage stuff)
Though if you do like it, there isnt any harm in asking for tag pics and them posting them here if you're unsure
>>10672268
Oh I'm not, just asking opinions on it.
not even really wanting a jacket, since i barely have the wardrobe to complement one.
thinking of getting some pod shorts though.
>>10672278
>pod shorts
Can't recommend enough to be honest familia. Have jersey ones and Poplin ones
>>10672301
get a bonus check this month so I'll definitely cop.
Anyone copped some Rick for their loved ones this christmas
>>10672466
I've been trying to find something smaller for my girlfriend. Already bought her yang li boots.
>>10672466
I think i'm going to have to. Shes wearing the Lillies top I got her into the ground
>>10672466
>loved ones
;____________________________;
>>10672472
What do you mean smaller? Like smaller sizes or physically smaller pieces
>>10672567
I mean smaller gifts. Her big gift are the Yang Li boots. Might get her a drkshdw dress or top or something. If I can find a good black Rick scarf for her though that might be best
>>10672301
>>10672278
swingers r no 1 ;) sorry lads
>>10672621
gf hinted she got me rick for xmas IM SO EXCITED
idk what to get her ~ maybe I'll take her to europeee~
she can buy her own rick and I can foster cute cute memories
>>10672044
Colissimo is a way of shipping actually. Chronopost is the express version of that.
>>10672701
too soon
>>10672701
-_-
tfw waiting for first Rick item. Bought a pair of Geos from farfetch, from a french boutique. This was a week ago and they have not even shipped them yet. Sigh
>>10671932
what makes rick clothing quality better than anything else? genuine question, is it really worth the price tag
>>10673150
it's a similar price tag to every other piece of clothing made in italy, probably slightly overpriced but the use of materials in rick clothing (and obviously the style).
Help famiglia, legit check please. Not sure about these, not a great deal though. 1/3
>>10673173
2/3
>>10673177
3/3
>>10673173
legit, but these must be a really small size
>>10673150
Materials and construction are usually top-tier for rick, but possibly not enough to completely justify the price tag. It is entirely possible to find a similar level of quality and ~lux~ materials at a much easier price to swallow, because of the distinct diminishing return on investments within clothing.
I think the main reason so many people can justify the price is that it is the only way to get that particular Rick look. Cheap alternatives exist, but they just don't capture the feeling right. Which is a really weird and ephemeral way to describe what should be kind of concrete. IDK, I'm not sure if I'm wording this quite right but theres a really food description of it on a Reddit (sorry) thread somewhere that I'll try to track down.
TL;DR: most of the money you pay for rick goes towards aspiring to a *very* specific look but I'm really bad at wording it.
>>10673189
41 EU, I am 42 so I am thinking these can fit me. Maybe
>>10673189
You sure? Flattened toebox, blindingly white laces, that weird extra line extending out from the top of the lace placket? Look Sketchy to me.
>>10673197
This shit
Did Rick ever do Ramones with ykk zippers? I'm getting paranoid that the ones iv'e had for years might be fake.
>>10673208
mmm, this was the reason I am hesitating. I thought flattened toebox was because of the small size, but I dunno about that extra line
>>10673225
He has used YKK zips in the past. I can't be specific with items though. I;m sure someone else will know.
>>10673192
Idk senpai, I feel like a lot of the "Rick look" outside of maybe shoes and prisoner pants is pretty easy to achieve with cheaper alternatives.
Like, a lot of Rick clothes are just shirts, sweaters and hoodies. Obviously they fit a certain aesthetic and obviously there are more complex items that he designs, but for example, you could easily recreate pic related with very cheap clothing.
He has some interesting stuff, and jackets are an exception, but largely I'm not so sure that you need to be draped in all Rick to get the look down.
>>10673225
Mainline has been on YKK zips for a couple seasons (I couldn't tell you specifically how long, but NAHK should be able to give a concrete answer). I think DRKSHDW made the switch even sooner.
>>10673173
>>10673177
>>10673183
those are fake senpai
I know cheap leather when I see it.
>>10673150
I love the look of ramones and ramones boots, not all of the other rick. Still good obviously, but not my favourite.
Yesterday I tried to find something that looked actually like ramones, and not just converse cause they're way lower, terrible sole, etc...
The closest alternative I could find was cinzia araia or whatever, still not the aesthetic I was looking for and still a few hundo for it. Point is, designers are called designers for a reason.
>>10673257
thx senpai, i will avoid these mofos
>>10673241
The overall look, sure! I guess I mean like the absolute particulars - like oversized shoes, POD shorts and, most specifically of all, t shirts that stack up perfectly around your waist - can't be found from a cheaper alternative.
>>10673231
thats just a crease, these are an older version with different leather, ask him to send you pics of the back of the zipper and the rick logo on the sole just to be sure, but im 99%sure theyre legit
>>10673236
>>10673252
I'm probably just thinking too much about it, most of the usual red flags for fakes aren't there , like horrible leather or a wonky toe box, and the tag on the inside is correct, but there's no signature on the sole and the lettering on the inside only says 42 and no model number.
>>10673269
Possible the signature could have worn off before I bought them though.
>>10673257
how does that look cheap to you? the leather looks juicy as hell wich implies its of high quality, you never get that kind of look with cheap leather
>>10673265
I agree with shoes and shorts but I disagree with t shirts, they're easy to find.
>>10673267
thanks, I already asked him but he is gone awol. Probably cause he is in yurop
>>10673273
i though the same, but as I am no expert I believed other guy.
>>10673274
If you have found a company that makes an alternative to double layer t-shirts you gotta share the link bruh. I ain't never seen a fabric stack like that.
>>10673269
Trial by fire - post some pics
>>10673290
I can in a bit
>>10673285
I'm seconding this.
its easy for my to drop a lot on interesting pieces but things that are comparatively mundane like t-shirts im a lot more apprehensive about.

>>10673290
>>10673369
what do you think of these geos? legit?:>>10673173
>>10673183
>>10673177
>>10673366
I just don't think Rick shirts are comparatively mundane! Not with knee-length shirts that sit perfectly around your waist. I've never found another alternative that drapes like that, and that's the shit that gets me rock hard.
>>10673384
Here's one of the soles
>>10673384
>>10673429
Fuck I forgot how annoying it is to post images its been too long /fa/
>>10673285
I've owned alot of tees that trying to come close to the "Rick" look, and none of them ever have everything(fit,silhouette,material) all together. For me the biggest thing about Rick tees and base layers is the way they cling to the body and really make for a beautiful contour. I think all to often people equate long with oversized (and of course Rick does oversized all the time) but many of his base layer tops are not over sized at all. Yes its easy to find oversized stuff but its not as easy to find a tee tanks like pic related.
For example my Silent tees are much longer than average but they do not fit or feel anything like my Rick tees. I'm probably just being redundant by now but what I'm getting at is: I don't agree with you.
And here's a profile, hopefully it'll be the right direction this time.
>>10673466
How long have you had them?
Pretty sure they're fake.
>>10673466
Where did you get them?
>>10673470
Bought them off grailed a little over a year ago when I didn't own any other Rick
>>10673470
>>10673474
In retrospect it was an awful decision to get them off of grailed in the first place
>>10673463
>For me the biggest thing about Rick tees and base layers is the way they cling to the body and really make for a beautiful contour
This sounds like you are agreeing with me??
I believe that you can find longline/drapey tees for a lower price point, but nothing that clings like a rick tee.
>much longer than average but they do not fit or feel anything like my Rick tees
You agreeing with me again??
I'm so confused mang. We both see distinct elements of Rick tees that separate them from others.
>>10673482
always freaks me out to hear people getting their first rick piece off of grailed, especially shoes.
>>10673463
How you went from that first sentence to that last one just baffles me I guess. The first one summarizes my viewpoint and the last one claims to disagree with it.
>>10673492
Yea I only really buy from retail now I don't trust grailed
>>10673505
I'll buy from Grailed if they've got good feedback, they post tag pictures, and they're not shady people to talk to. I sell a lot on grailed and I try to offer the same.
>>10673492
your impression about these?>>10673173

>>10673484
quoted wrong person :--/////
>>10673274
>>10673429
...bad news.
>>10673492
wtf is with people constantly finding fake shit on grailed? Ive never had a problem with that, every Rick piece I own besides 1 was bought from second hand sources.
>>10673543
;-;
The insole has the signature though
>>10673540
aww shit sorry to unload man. You're on the right side of things. Thought we were competitively agreeing for a second.
>>10673547
I think it comes from jumping in to it - I see a lot of fake Rick go for incredible prices, but I figured out how to spot fakes before I started buying secondhand.
It's dudes who are eager to get Rick'd out but hunting for the best possible bargain (i.e. newcomers) who fall into it the most.
>>10673466
That looks like corrected grain leather :(((
>>10673551
They're fake dude. I won't go into detail on the harder to spot stuff, but it has the easy to spot fake signs.
IC on Rick long sleeve T in Koolaid colorway
Haven't worn it enough and only has 1 small hole on the sleeves
>>10673369
Wasn't it SS13? or am i thinking of when drkshdw started having that on the soles instead of rick owens.
>>10673599
Forgot to mention it's a size M.
>>10673599
I'll buy it from you
>>10673599
Would cop if S and short sleeved. Long sleeve Rick tees bug me because I stretch out the sleeves so quick.
>>10673599
How much you want?
>>10673505
That's going a little far. You can still make great purchases from grailed.
>>10673515
I don't have a lot of experience handling short tongued geos. The toe box is a bit sus but other than that it's really difficult. Honestly if it's not exactly the look you want then why bother? If you can't tell that something is the exact fucking shoe you want then you should probably pass. Not worth getting something if it is even remotely suspect. Get the thing you're obsessed with.
Anyway, I don't know about these. My gut tells me they aren't worth buying either way. If they are real, they still look dumb because the sole is discolored in spots and the toe box is wonky. If you really like them, get a pic of the back of the zipper. A clear, high quality picture.
>>10673547
probably because a lot of kids on this site want a deal because they don't have a lot of money, which is bait for the people selling second hand fakes at a too-good-to-be-true price. Also, this is kinda ~the place~ to go for legit checks so you're seeing a lot of that rather than actual copping going on.
Speaking of cops, I got this Naska blazer for a steal recently. Put it up on grailed. Make me an offer.
>>10673605
It was SS14.
>>10673634
$300 + shipping
>>10673173
>>10673177
>>10673183
Legit, but holy shit what size are they?
>>10673666
>If you can't tell that something is the exact fucking shoe you want then you should probably pass. Not worth getting something if it is even remotely suspect. Get the thing you're obsessed with.
JESUS CHRIST. Add this to the fucking sticky post at the top of every ROG thread.
>>10673466
Fake as fuck.
>>10673634
>>10673621
I got it on the low so I would probably list it for 145USD + shipping outside of USA
do the ramones come in white suede?

>>10673677
This is assuming you have clear pictures of the object in question. I can understand if somebody is listing a particular rare item you're looking for but the pictures are bad and you just want another eye on them.
This is not the case here though. We can clearly the see the shape of the shoe.
Not trying to rag you on, by the way. It's just something I think about a lot when people ask for legit checks.

Thanks senpai famiglia
>>10673687
yeye
>>10673285
but seriously where can I get cheaper alternative to prisoner pants
>>10672701
you're an idiot
>>10673706
Eh, Drop Crotch sweatpant joggers are becoming more popular. I have a pair of Uniqlo X Plokhov ones that are my go to while I track down prisoners in xs or grow the balls to pay retail. I had a pair from CDG black that I wore for a while. Worst case, Zara makes them by the boatload. They will work in to similar fits, but they will not be Rick pants.
>>10673706
Prisoners are really great because of that deep rick drop crotch with the tapered leg to the cuff. There are joggers out there as far as the eye can see, but very few cheap alternatives to this that aren't utter trash.
>>10673725
You have a pair of those 'qlo and plokhov pants right? Have you given up on them now that you have prisoners?
Anyone have inspo involving layering with Rick tanks (mainline with the curved hem)? I'm thinking of copping another one but in a blood colorway. Already have one in dust colorway.
>>10673787
Is it not self explanatory how they should be worn?
I dont have any, but I know bday post fits with his from time to time(take that for what you will)
>>10673795
I'm mainly asking because I'm trying to decide if a tank is better for layering as opposed to another tee. I do both but if I do decide to sell >>10673599 I'm copping the tank instantly. The colors are similar
>>10673740
I only wear the plokhov ones around the house. I've had a few pairs of prisoners now. I actually don't wear those much anymore at all. Pods are my jam lately.
How do you guys spot fakes? Is it just being intensely familiar with how the product should look? Or comparing your own IRL Rick to the pics people post?
>>10673787
>>10673807
same question
layer any tank with any tee?
Been thinking of copping geo sweater in milk, how much do those go for second hand usually?
Though they seem to be kinda rare to come by
Legit check?
>>10673814
what kinda leggings u wear with pods
also i got an S in prisoners and they fit bretty good. 33in waist, slightly bigger legs with huge calves due to cycling. Think I'm alright to grab a large in pods?
>>10674072
you should probably also do a small or medium in pods. the large is huge.
i wear represent leggings. they are extra long so they make nice stacks. the fabric has a good semi translucent texture (they aren't totally uniform in the light). goes well with pods.
God damn rog blew up over night
Took me ages to read all that
Going to cop first pair of rick shoes tomorrow. Deciding between Ramones or the Ramones sneaker boots. Leaning towards the boot version.
I heard someone say here that you may as well yolo when you buy rick and I have an outfit or two in mind that the sneaker boots would look good with but I feel like I need second opinions.
bought a new shirt and a second hand bomber that should be coming in the mail over the next couple days, I'm excited. First venture into Rick's clothing
>>10674168
Ramone boots are fun, check out oliverdoor on instagram he wears his quite alot
>>10673466
I'm sorry these are fake
>>10673173
I think these are legit, but like I said earlier or last thread. Please Don't just buy rick because it's cheap, I wouldn't buy these
Any brands that go well with rick besides ann d, julius, yohji, nude mm?
More formal/office wear to be precise
>>10674168
>>10674177
olivedoor's Instagram is fun to look at, his r. boots fits are good
>>10674185
Hes a pretty chill guy. Posts on fb b/s/t a bit quite alot aswell.
I like what he does with his ramone socks, such as cuffing denim with them
>>10674167
I know that feeling. I leave for several hours and come back to a short novel of posts to read through. Can't complain though, any discussion is good to read and learn from.
>>10674212
Yeh I enjoy it. Takes me 40 minutes to get to work after I Park my car in the car park so I have plenty of time to see what all the fuss has been about
>>10674228
I should probably put off reading it until after work is finished but I get a bit distracted and then slowly find myself 30+ minutes into the thread with little work done. Just glad I work at my own pace and I'm not really too pressured with any time constraints.
>>10674231
Heh you don't work where I work. I get I to work at 06:30 and don't do anything until 07:45 usually. In fact some days I manage to do the square root of fuck all all day
My industry is incredibly unpredictable
>>10673795
Anyone have any bday albums, I'd like to see all his fits
>>10674239
I'll get days where nothing happens for a while, or at all, and the day just drags on and feels like an eternity. Hoping things pick up soon. Slightly more back on topic, planning to purchase some cargos sometime this week and I'm fairly excited about that.
>>10674180
I'm getting into isabel benenato quite heavily at the moment, the tanks and tops drape beautifully.
She has some really excellent knit stuff

What designers do you like
What garms do you wear
Who are your inspirations
Friend.
>>10674402
My favorite designer is probably older Jun Takahashi or older Yohji.
I wear all kinds of outfits, because unfortunately I can no longer parade looking homeless like I did years ago. Most of the time however I wear work attire, with my favorite suit being from Thom Browne, I work as a broker I've been less wealthy than two years ago, but my money comes and goes. Rick Owens is not too expensive, it just looks terrible in my opinion.
I draw my inspiration from 1930 business attire honestly, but with a more modern flare. Can't say any one designer has me sold, but I have learned over the years what I don't like.
>>10674410
Post a fit.
>>10674410
That's cool and I respect that.
Why do you not respect people who buy rick owens?
>>10674410
>draw my inspiration from 1930 business attire honestly, but with a more modern flare
m'fashun
>>10674413
Because they're paying lots of money to unironically look like they have none. As I said, I have out of my moderately edgy outfits that cost a decent amount. Also, in my form of work, you unfortunately have to be able to spot and judge those that you see upon a quick impression. Dressing in Rick makes you look like someone that uses money for clothes in order to make up for their otherwise unsuccessful lives.
I have no need to post a fit, as my initial comment was directed towards someone that made a claim without posting their own fit.
Truth be told, it would be easier to respect Rick shoppers if they didn't constantly try and justify the price tag. Quality means a lot, sure, but what do you need good quality garments for if you just lounge around? When I see people get so upset and needed to justify why they buy a certain brand for anything other than "I like it" it gives the impression that you need other reason to buy something with your own money. I buy and wear what I like because I believe it looks nice on me, the quality of my purchases are just bonus, not the other way around (like many Rick posters)
>>10674433
how does one reach the same level of /fashun enlightenment/ that you're on? /s
>>10674435
Apparently by posting in Rick threads
>>10674433
>I buy and Wear what I like
Are you saying people who buy rick don't?
I don't quite understand why people get riled at what other people do.
You're more than entitled to your view, and you sound an intelligent person with a solid wardrobe that they really like.
>>10674433
I have never seen or heard of someone desperately defending their rick stuffs price tag
What world do you live in
>>10674450
Look at the initial comment I made, it was towards someone that said they pay X amount of money for quality and the such. That shouldnt be a driving force for getting something you want, that's more of a derivative of shopping effectively. I don't believe there are multiple worlds to live in, but I guess you, a Rick poster has found others, to be asking such a question.
>>10674445
I told you my target audience was those who sneed to explain their reason for paying X amount. You're at least trying to make discussion, the other guy is just counter-flaming. I hope to god you all like what you buy, more so if you have to save/ invest in order to make the purchase. My initial comment was a remark made to someone that made their purpose for buying Rick clothes quality
>>10674461
I do agree with you, and I also heavily support the view that people should buy what they like
If
They
Can
Afford
It
I don't think it's wise spending $700 on shoes if you're at university and have other commitments to attend to first, for example.
But I also think that if you like something you should buy it contrary to any other opinions or views that people give you about whether you should wear it or not.
Rick is expensive and there is no need to justify it, I like Rick clothes so I don't mind paying absurd amounts for the exact item I want.
That said it adds up eventually, I spent 1k in the last week on just Rick : ( but I'm happy with everything I bought so its all good : )
>>10674475
I heavily agree with this
Esp. on opinions of other people
I've been much happier in terms of my appearance after acknowledging that my tastes differ from the majority and will more often than not be criticised but that this doesn't actually affect me
>>10674475
This needs to be listened to more often
>>10674433
"Dressing in Rick makes you look like someone that uses money
for clothes in order to make up for their otherwise unsuccessful lives."
Swerve lad - that's a strong statement. How you gonna justify it?
I don't think anyone (except maybe you) sees Rick clothes out and
about and assumes "that person is unsuccessful in the rest of there lives"
Earlier you said that dressing in Rick made you look as if you have no
money! Surely that means you think that dressing in Rick makes
you look like someone who has no money and no success otherwise?
>>10674461
You didn't really read the comment you replied to, from the looks of it. Someone asked why people pay so much for Rick, and I was saying that quality is *part* of it, but that it is definitely not the main reason.
Why do you spend so much on Thom Browne?
Also, how special of a snowflake am I if I like to wear both?
>>10674953

paying lots of money for the thom browne brand (which is overpriced like rick) instead of cheaper and potentially better alternatives comes from the same psychological basis as thinking expensive = quality
that guy is no different than a rick buyer
>>10675071
he is incredibly pretentious and being made fun of for it, I hope.
Blows my mind when people put a designers aesthetic into a box and generalize it. Especially when they are so wrong. I guess that's 4chan in a nutshell. Just a bunch of bored dumbfucks shitposting anonymously.
Is blistered leather less hard wearing and more prone to being scuffed and torn compared to regular lamb leather?
>>10675168
The blistered lamb used on a lot of the outerwear is very light! It's one of the thinnest leathers I've ever felt. I had a blistered scuba for a year or two that I hardly wore because it freaked me out how delicate it felt, but I was being overly cautious I think. It actually looked just the same as when I bought it brand new when I sold it. I think it could tear more easily than than the LGI fabric but doesn't seem like to take any abnormal amount of damage from everyday wear.
>>10675168
Yes they are a bit more delicate in my opinion, I may be wrong - i'm sure someone can correct me - but is the newer Blistered lamb thinner than some of the older seasons?
I'm seriously gurning for a blistered scuba or bauhaus at the moment aswell. 46's seem to be a rare breed though, >>10675194 just seeing high res up close pictures gives me heart palpatations
In other news, https://www.grailed.com/listings/297787-rick-owens-anfibio-combat-boots these are fantastic
>>10675204
I vaguely miss this jacket. It was incredible. The leather was unique, the fully cupro/silk lined was rare (often partially lined in cotton, cotton backed, or a cupro/cotton blended fabric), and it had the flat ISLAND Raccagni pulls which were glorious.
>>10675204
The blistering was really intense in some spots. Incredibly thin.
Only problem was it being sewn in Moldova. And I never wore it. Too lux for me.
>>10675168
It is really, really soft and light. (I've only handled the ladies' leathers though). It is quite distressed anyway so hard to tell how much it scuffs up.
>>10675204
Last one. RIP scuba. I think I sold it for 900.
Could I get a legitimacy check on this bomber please? Thanks!
Didn't someone say that YKK zips were used after a certain season?
Why is the tag not attached?
>>10675267
It's pretty common to cut off the tag if you don't plan on selling it
>>10675293
The composition/care tag?
>>10673706
make them yourself
>>10675297
Yeah, people cut those off a lot because they get kind of annoying in some garments. I sorta want to take the one out of my silk/viscose shirt because it hangs out all the time and I have to tuck it back in, but I'm also worried about ruining potential resell.
>>10675307
I cut mine off of both of my double layered tees because they hung below the actual shirt, as long as you don't throw them away just having the tag should be fine if you ever want to sell.
>>10675307
>>10675313
Fair enough with a tee that is next to the skin.
Where is the tag in a DS bomber? In my jackets they're in the inside pocket. I can't even see how you could accidentally rip it off.

Looks good to me, would like a clearer tag picture though. The colouring on the tag (greyish) reminds me of this seasons tags colouring, my pods ones are very greyish
>>10675267
DRKSHDW oddly enough still uses Racc zips. People cut tags off becuase they're irritating frankly - hang below shirt, scratch your lower back and all sorts.
>>10675324
Inside pocket on the L/H side I believe, it could get caught in your wallet or keys whatever and rip off - its not an unlikely scenario

Couldn't help myself but kek
They got "Rick Owens" and "MOODY FW14" on the wrong sides
Tag looks like aids
Usual suspects for a fake
Mfw just got a mail from Farfetch telling me the geos i ordered got sold out but they're sending me another pair from a different boutique in the UK. Sweet.
>>10675336
Was it ever implied they were real??
>>10675336
yeah its easy to tell theyre fake but you wont be looking inskide someones pants when they pass you on the street.
my view on it is that if the chinese can fake it so closely i have no reason to drop 500 on the original, with things like outerwear, shoes and more intricate pants i gladly pay retail but for basic stuff like sweatpants im fine with fakes.
>>10675347
>>10675352
No but I just pointed out how blindingly obvious they are.
They're not even tapered anywhere close, trust me they will be absolute garbage in real life, please if you want drop crotch joggers just buy the represent ones or something. I am against any form of fake with every fibre of my being
>just notice the tag says dark dust lel
>>10675329
Lol. It fit slim, but it was perfect on me. The Bauhaus' we have are 46. Those are rad. I love the offset zip.
>>10675267
Yeah mainline switched to YKK in SS14 VICIOUS. Oddly, DRKSHDW uses Raccagni still except for shoes. I think DRKSHDW shoes did use Raccagni in SS14 though... I remember it being staggered.
>>10675373
I tried a regular calf Scuba on in store in a 46 and fit on the tigher side of good, probabaly wouldnt have had much room underneath for layering, though I really want to layer my IB cardigan under it

if you want them looking closer to the original you have to pay a bit more, but trust me they look identical, i have posted some fits with them here and not a single persion said anything, granted i do own a lot of legit rick, but im just really not gonna spend so much for hyped sweatpants.

>Calls popular stuff a meme
>likes Rick, a brand which you can only talk about on the Internet without looking autistic
>you can only talk about on the Internet without looking autistic
Stuff like this makes me wonder why I visit this board
>>10675725
This comment is precisely the problem I have with it: some philistine purchases pirated clothing and proudly attempts to trump people who actually support the creator, people who actually give a shit about and recognize design, quality, and subtlety rather than getting something that looks close enough for an arbitrarily smaller amount of money. Handing your money over to those who do nothing but destroy the industry with poor labor and environmental pracices bringing ideas and cultural innovation developed in the western world and handing your hard earned money to some fuck head in China who is trying to screw over people like you who fell for the bait and just wanted to look the part rather than participating in fashion and design and art as a whole.
I'm saying this at the risk of high roading a one-sided discussion, but there truly is no excuse for buying replica clothing. I get that Rick is expensive, but there are more ethical/admirable ways to achieve the aesthetic he is presenting without buying fakes. If you truly love fashion, you'll find another way to do it without resorting to buying reps.
What pisses me off about posting links to fakes in these threads and trying to pass it off like they're identical is how false and intentionally misleading it is to newcomers of fashion. I want people to appreciate the subtlety that comes along with it - fakes muddle all of that. It's like reproduction paintings, even on a museum quality giclee, you're going to miss out on the brush strokes, dimensions, depth that an original has.
>>10675795
The problem is feeding the trolls. I'm guilty of it too from time to time, like my previous comment. When people talk about anything fashion related being a "meme" it's an utter joke. A conversation killer. The word is hollow and meaningless in reality.
I really only come here out of boredom but we will see how long that lasts. It's already driven away all the other decent trips since I started posting here like 3 years ago
can the ROG fahm post some rick inspo? i'd prefer fits mixed with rick and other designers but full rick is okay too.

>It's like reproduction paintings, even on a museum quality giclee, you're going to miss out on the brush strokes, dimensions, depth that an original has.
so you are going to compare a unique handmade artwork to massproduced sweatpants? seriously some of you people take rick and yourself was too seriously, i guess you forgot that the man started his career by making the things you despise so much, i bet he doesnt give a flying fuck if someone cops these, the items from rick that are worth getting are not the ones that inbred chinamen can reproduce with ease. i have a huge amount of respect for rick but his fan base seems to be either hypebeast fuccbois or "very serious high fashion" people. You just dont get that rick is all obout having fun and not giving a fuck.
also just to clear things up, this >>10675725 wasnt me, the guy who posted this is probablly some /b/ tier troll
i dont personally have a problem with anyone in this thread and i think these threads are the best thing curentlly happening on this board but some of you need to lighten the fuck up
>>10675859
I don't plan on going anywhere just yet because there isnt an alternative as active and friendly. Sufu and zeitgeist are both in their graves, r/malefashion hates anything Rick etc etc
Actually, as of the past 3 or 4 editions, /ROG/ has been strong and relatively hate free.
>>10675856
>it looks like it, therefore it must be it!
The logical fallacies are in full swing ITT
>>10675870
fyi Rick does hate replica crap
>>10675872
CHEERS senpai
>>10675870
It's an analogy. Reproductions are never dead on. Saying they look exactly the same is just false.
Lightening up has nothing to do with it. A line needs to be drawn somewhere, and I draw it at buying reps and spreading this bullshit that they "look exactly the same! You're stupid to buy the real thing!" Because it's just false. It doesn't matter what designer it is. Or what it is, it doesn't have to be clothing. That's the problem I have here. Reps exist and people will buy them. I don't give a fuck about that. I care about the integrity of this thread and the perception that people have of replicas versus real, simple as that. Doesn't matter what designer it is.
I'm not saying Rick is infallible. I'm hardly a Rick fanboy, these are just the only threads worth being in on /fa/. My interest and knowledge of fashion manifests in these threads simply because he is incredibly popular while having a very direction aesthetic. These could very well be Raf, or Jun Takahashi, or some other random smaller designer generals, assuming they would have the same steam and civilized discussion (but they never do).
Please don't try to tell me what Rick is "all about" or that I "just don't get it" (which is pretentious and makes you sound like one of those very serious high fashion people you are referring to). Maybe that's the way you perceive it and that's great but you're making the mistake thinking that I put stock into clothing "being about" anything.

Claiming a controversial topic as absolute fact and then jumping straight in to "why u mad/it's just a joke/lighten up" as soon as someone approaches the topic genuinely is the most boring troll tactic at least try for some subtlety man.

i never claimed that those pants are exactly the same as the real thing, i simply suggested them as affordable alternatives, but please tell me what is the difference between buying replicas and making a pair yourself, except being a lazy bastard :)
and please dont say the tags, no one sees them anyway.
Yikes things have taken a turn for the worst
Activate recovery post
All joking aside chaps, I have to agree with NAHK on the fake argument, having actually handled a few fakes (dreambox's which were hysterically bad, and a tee which was scarily close to legit, etc..) And I have to say I can't believe anyone would find them acceptable in any form, but if you want to buy fakes please feel free - its your porogative. But the thing that breaks my metaphorical internet heart is seeing these fakes passed on as legit to some poor guys on the second hand market and them not knowing, and them paying probably more than they should have for a legit pair due to their inexperience, and inevitably they find out months down the line and are decidedly crestfallen, and rightly so.
>>10676018
>i simply suggested them as affordable alternatives,
This I believe is some of the problem, I don't think fakes should ever be seen as an alternative/stop gap/"Im only trying them out until I buy the real ones", they just spit in the face of any respectable artist. Its like buying dvds of the dodgy bloke round the corner who smells of wee.
There are plenty of affordable alternatives, there are cheaper deisgners with even cheaper diffusion lines (i.e Silent, on sale it can be mind boggling cheap)
>>10676056
I always prefer to buy cheaper alternatives (non-knockoff) when trying out a new style, and then diving into the real deal. I had shitty hightops before I bought geos, I have the cheapest full grain boots I can find while I debate if guidis will fit into my wardrobe enough to drop the cash.
Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic, but I always feel so much better having the real thing that I drool over on the internet. Even if it takes me much longer to get the spare funds. I don't get the same rush from owning/wearing replacements or knock offs, and that's what got me in to fashion.
basically, fakes are for people who care what other people think they look like, and not how their clothing makes them feel.
>>10676106
You're exactly right, and I was the same about by Guidis (buy them mang), insanely happy when I copped
People care far to much about what other people think about them. Wearing your favourite clothes in a fit you think is great is such a fun feeling, and I just don't think I would get the same feeling if half my stuff was fake
>>10676106
>fakes are for people who care what other people think they look like, and not how their clothing makes them feel.
i do not agree with this, people who care so much obout thir image wouldnt rick being called out.
>>10676056
i am strictly against trying to pass of fakes as original, not just because it is morally wrong but its also fraud and thats illegal, but i just really dont mind if someone buys a reproduction of an extremley easy to make piece (such as prisoner sweats) and just wears them coz they like them.
>>10676127
>wouldnt rick
the most apropriate spelling error, that ever happened to me :)
>>10676127
Wearing fakes and not trying to pass them off as real is mildly more acceptable - there's actually a whole crowd of sneakerheads who are proud to own fakes (particularly in Yeezy and Jordan categories) because the morality of their production methods are so skewed anyways.
But I still can't be that dude. Letting some skeezy megacorporation profit off of sweet little Rick's life work just doesn't seem right. He's built an impressive empire with very little outside help and I find it worthy of supporting, and I feel much better for having done so. It's like buying a record instead of torrenting - but again, I might be overly romantic.
>>10676056
where do you find silent on sale
>>10676155
as i said i support and respect rick, i own multiple legitimate pieces including leathers that most people consider grails, but i really dont mind someone buying and wearing reproduction of sweatpants that rick designed. im not even sorry i started this shitstorm as it turned into a proper discussion, man i love these threads.

Same here.
Instant gratification with the least amount of effort is something that applies to alot of people these days. Bought some crust dunks years ago brand new, took me a few months of saving but dat feel when you finally get something you really wanted, hnnng.
