Didn't someone post an article comparing FOG quality with the likes of Zara? If that's true I'm all set with the brand.


The thing is, fog materials aren't any different than h&m. Say what you say, when you handle them, examine the fabric quality, the finnishes, much of Zara pieces are superior to FoG. Zara has an amazing supply chain, infinite resources, and they've grown to be the biggest fashion brand not without a reason. Basicly FoG is zara quality with surrealist prices one, because they know *******s will buy it anyway, two, because of the lack of the resources they pay much more for the same quality of manufacturing.

Everything about fog is cringeworthy. Even more cringeworthy are people who point out brands "copying fog". Show me one "original" thing about it, and I'll show you where it's copied from. Wake up. FoG is nothing else than a overpriced fabrixsquare for sheepish mentality people who are refusing to learn.

But I guess that's a good niche to profit on.

ive seen it spoke on before

instagram you ever handled FOG? i never have myself
 
Tees and hoodies I've touched Al.

They're def good quality but the price is stil ridiculous.

Let's put it this way. I love JE and its quality and silhouettes and they're still to overpriced. So now exponentialize that same ratio to FoG
 
FOG's return policy is problematic - that's why i'm only pre-ordering new iterations of items i already own (sleeveless flannel and drop shorts).  will just try to scoop up items i'm unsure about when they drop on barneys / union / etc

anyone hit up the pop up store in union to try on the new tees / hoodies in person?  am traditionally a L in FOG stuff but with the shorter cuts am afraid the new season will be too short
 
Practical and FOG don't belong in same sentence. Practical is like Uniqlo.
I'd say the FoG sweatshirts are pretty practical, that's about it, which btw I really want the hoodie pullover--that God Grey color is sick.  Other than that, I'd be afraid of spending all that money to see it go out of style soon.  Still better priced than Yeezy S1...

Thanks for the feedback on the short sleeve overcoat, I wasn't here to get affirmation or anything, so I'm glad I got some negative comments.  I've got 30 days to make the return, so I'll give it some serious thought, considering how expensive it was.

In regards to practicality--main reason I stick to buying a crap load of JE items, literally wear it everyday.

Yea makes sense. Clean stuff. Random I swear FoG and JE use the same models, I wonder how brands determine the model look they want?
 
Did he drop the price on those FOG jeans?  I could have sworn I saw them for $1750 and now they are $1500.  Not that it matters at all. 
 
I would love to get JE blanks for my graphic tees

You bout to drop a line?

1000



Copp early.

I have, the quality is very good. For example, some of the flannels have silk lining on the parts of the shirt such as the collar and cuff. The hoodies are really heavy and feel top quality.

I know you asked over on the style forums but you better off with the JE coat or look into slp. A traditional coat looks better for most outfits. The fog looks nice with an all out fog fit with the muttilpe layers etc

Their flannel is good quality. I own slp flannel and fog isn't too far off. I just wish they offered no zippers. Zippers are too gimmicky for a long term investment.
 
Chromeo's Dave 1 Shares His Leather Jacket Collection

The Canadian frontman’s guide to buying the perfect leather piece in an interview with Complex.

What’s the one leather jacket every guy should own?
Well, your basic go-to would be like a biker jacket, or a Perfecto. You want to go with a style as classic as possible, something that looks like a Schott. What’s cool about leather jackets is that they actually get doper as they age. The leather releases these oils and you get this sheen and this creasing. You want to have a purchase that’s going to last for a long time, so if you’re just gonna buy one, I would say just stay away from getting a fashion-y one and just opt for a super classic option—something that looks as authentic as possible.

You wear leather jackets all year-round, even in 80°F weather?
I do wear them in 80° weather, but I expect to get clowned and I clown myself when I do it. The whole thing about all that too is like, yes, a leather jacket makes you look badass and makes you look like you’re auditioning for a part in The Ramones musical on Broadway or something, but you also have to have a degree of humor about everything. It’s all fun.

It’s your uniform.
With Chromeo, our image is so strong. The visual thing we give off is so strong and we have to go extra. We have to. If you’re a regular dude reading this: You have one leather jacket, maybe two, and you’re set. You’re good—and not only that, it’s like a thousand dollar investment. But A) it’s year-round and B) it’s gonna last for 5, 6, years or maybe more. You’re going to end up giving your jacket to your dad or something. It lasts forever.

Each year it seems that there are certain design cues that brands incorporate into their leather jackets like ribbed shoulders, two-toned sleeves, and other details.
Let me put you onto something: They all jack their **** from this weird German motorcycle jacket company called Hein Gericke—and even since his Dior days, Hedi [Slimane]’s been taking cues from them. The cuts are horrible because they’re super boxy, but the designs are insane. It’s like some German motocross ****, and the detailing is insane. Everything about it is phenomenal, but the cut’s terrible. My take on like the leather thing is: the more detail, the better. Overdo it with the zippers. The reference is motocross, where you need a thousand pockets and all this padding in case you fall. The other thing that’s amazing about leather jackets and how it sort of fits in culturally to everything we like is that it’s all about this reappropriation of super practical, purpose-driven attire.

You’ve customized one of your jackets with a bunch of pins.
It’s stuff that we used to do growing up. I feel like there is a pins zeitgeist, right? My favorite Perfecto is one that I wear basically everyday that I’ve had for like four years. I was on tour in Detroit, and I happened to be sitting on the toilet for a long time. I was on eBay on my phone and was just like, ‘Let me buy every cool pin that I can find.’ And I just put it all on there and Krazy Glued them so they don’t fall off, and it’s cool. It makes a lot of friends on the airplane. Again, I think it’s that sense of humor. It’s so important ‘cause otherwise, it’s what prevents all of us from becoming fashion victims—and that’s crucial. When I see a kid like Ian Connor wearing Skechers, it’s so important. I mean, my boy P is on the same wave. He’s full on.

Do you have to hunt for a piece like that one [Christopher Bailey for Burberry jacket from 2011]?
I didn’t have to hunt. I’m not an eBay head. I wish I was, because I would be on some other ****. It’s funny because I hunt for like furniture that I could flaunt, you know? This chair [points to chair], I imported that from Brazil. No one has this. With clothing, I’ve got this thing where I’ll place special orders. I get one and hopefully, I don’t run into Swizz Beatz wearing one. No disrespect to him! I never really had to go crazy hunting for stuff. I’ve got shops that’ll hold stuff for me and make sure I get it first, and then I’ll make sure I wear it to Coachella. I’ll get some stuff like a week before everyone else—basic perks of being a musician.

For sure. It doesn’t hurt to be out there.
Yeah, but the clever kids on a budget—they always outdo everybody. If you just have that drive in you, you make do. I like to stay humble, because there’s always a kid on the L train that you see and you’re just like: “Nice job.”
