Share brands you like that are lesser known and make cool things. Not necessarily obscure but not big names.

Pretty much all Scandinavian brands except H&M. the problem is that they are often overpriced.

Goldenhorse shoes.
I only wear DCshoehouse USA and hurley and some Tommy shit
White Mountaineering: Overpriced in the west, affordable via proxy. Great outerwear, lots of patterns/prints, blend of natural fabrics like wool, linen and leather along with synthetics for shells. Influences range from sports over outdoor to military.
A Kind of Guise: a "normie" our legacy, everything made in germany, interesting fabrics, both mens- and womenswear
Honorable mention to maharshi (heavily military influenced), bleu de paname (french workwear) and small scale knitwear producers like jamieson of scotland and armor-lux.

Joking about feminism gets you sent to the interracial breeding grounds in Sweden.

Livid Jeans and JohnnyLove
They are both Norwegian fashion brands centered in Trondheim of Norway.
Livid focus on Denim, shirts, leather boots etc.
JohnnyLove is more about looking smart. impeccably dressed but never formal.
Both of them innovate in different ways. JohnnyLove with their innovative blueprints (they don't have a single "basic" item. Everything is designed from scratch) (Pic Related, they do weird things with scarves)
Livid are more about quality and texture. (google "RAGNAR JAPAN BLUE SASHIKO to see what I mean)
Norwegians are generally big and bulky, and they design their cuts to bigger guys (not fat, we're talking 6.3 ++ and broad frame).
Filson is absolute god tier.
>>11259006
>design their cuts to bigger guys
That's basically all nordic brands. Kinda annoying when you're a manlet.
>>11258913
also Frank & Oak
Lui Hon is from Australia and they do great womenswear as well as a heap of solid unisex pieces.
>>11259160
'et al' is another Australian fashion brand that does pretty cool drapey stuff. Their silhouettes can be a little too curvaceous or puffy for my liking - but I tend to mix and match with my pieces and it comes out pretty good.
>>11258935
It's not a joke it's a commentary about the way people use supporting movements as an identity and as something to be advertised; the way people wear their social awareness as badges of honor
>>11259175
orphn was another Australian house that did some cool stuff. They weren't around long and they closed up but I managed a snag a few interesting pieces (including a drapey silk turtleneck) while they were around.
>>11259078
>manlet
what the fuck is this? /fit/?
I'm sure you're alright even though no girl will ever love you
>>11258687
i worked for lacoste for five years and fail to see how fashionable it really is in comparison to other lines. their quality is going to S H I T.
At Scelta
>>11259242
I'm 5'9, I don't really care but it is a fact that a lot of the brands I like don't make clothes for people of my stature. Especially the Nordic ones.
>>11259326
It's okay. kr one size fit us perfect
>>11258965
Cav empt has been hyped up like crazy by supreme fuccbois trying to be "unique" since like last year
>>11258997
w2c in UK?
>>11259369
Could you repeat that?
>>11259243
Who cares about quality when you have that croco m8? All about that crocodile, nigga.
>>11259326
How are you built anon? I'm also 5'9, skelly af. I usually take small and xs sizes but I usually have to get shirt hemmed.
>>11259591
S usually fits well but I have a jacket from Norse Projects that's S and the sleeves are way too long.
>>11259648
Sleeves on Norse Projects always seem too short to me and the fit too boxy.
>>11259188
never thought of it this way, I thought it was sjw cuck agenda since acne is sweden based
>>11259735
I just checked, it's actually M so I guess I fucked up a bit when I bought it, though I doubt the sleeves would be around 4 cms shorter going from M to S.
>>11258993
Quality is pretty good for the price they give you
>>11259326
5'9 is like the most average height ever, you should have no problem
>>11258913
adding to canadian brands: Dime mtl, atelier new regime (not that good tho desu but someone here might like them)
Vanishing elaphant is Australian and worth a look. Pretty good, won't be known out of Australian
>>11258987
sandro is fucking goat. idgaf what others say it is so clean. also all saints isnt too bad but i'd buy on sale
>>11260182
>sandro is fucking goat
Seconded. I bought one of their "Dylan" boots on sale and they look amazing.
My grail is one of their leathers, they seem to pop up on grailed and ebay occasionally so hopefully I can pick one up someday.
>>11259764
Probably because you don't have a brain.
>>11259436
they ship internationally on iuter.com

Other sorta/kinda obscure Jap brands
Unused
Yaeca
Sunsea
That's really just the surface though, there are like a million Japanese brands that you will probably never ever see on a Western stockist and rarely see worn on the internet.
>>11260387
What I think is incredible is that there are tiny ass men's boutiques in a ton of crappy cities all over Japan and they update their blogs (yeah they still have blogs) all the time. Actually they update them DAILY
Wish there was even one American store that did that
ITT: surface level brands
Here's some:
Deepmoss
Hed Mayner
ZhuChongYun
Aski Kataski
this is a very interesting thread
thank you fellows
>>11260448
it's what i was hoping to make, not enough discussion on this board about brands (outside the massive ones)
>>11258797
Hardly any of these are unknown, WM collabs with the three stripes and doc martens, its also stocked at a lot of higher end streetwear stores.
>>11260387
how can I find more of these Japanese brands if I am a westerner?
>>11261751
The thread isn't about unknown brands you elitist. It just says non-big name brands. Learn to read the OP next time before being a smart ass.
>>11262113
buy off rakuten or yahoo jp. check our my beautiful landlet and edwina horl too anon
I need some not very expensive made in England brands.
>>11259764
probably because you use words like "cuck" and "sjw" unironically you daft fuck
>>11259326
Today I realized I probably just have really short arms, the sleeves are too long on basically everything I own.
>>11262125
lol
elitist for having more than a surface level interest in the hobby you browse a specialty board on a sudanese clay pottery enthusiast forum on. it's a retarded op that should be ignored. post obscure shit, not fucking WM
>>11259188
Maybe I've done too much drugs but I think
all this social awareness as a badge business is such a weird joke. There's so much more to life than getting riled up like this. Call your parents and tell them you love them, take off your shoes and walk on fresh cut grass, pet a friendly dog. Life was so much nicer before we had to try to 'force' social change and awareness. I protested, I marched, but some people have it as so much of a part of their identity it's a bit revolting.
But again, maybe I've done too much psychedelics.

this guy is a faggot, nothing new, nothing original, i don't mind the eye hat though, it's old a e s t h e t i c tumblr garbage.
>>11263569
yeah i agree, it's annoying to me but at the same time I understand it. I think its fun to wear clothes that's where the ball stops for me. That's it.
>>11259389
Hopefully it will die out in popularity among them and then people who were on board since the beginning can buy things without having to avoid scalping faggots.
>>11263406
good luck with that
