What I've gleaned from this thread- I'm so fly that people are going out of their way to copy me.

Let’s not get carried away, Samurai. You fly. But you ain’t flying as high as you think.

Man, that shit was corny

I've actually leveled up quite a bit since I made this thread Only wear made in USA/Japan vintage at this point just abou, I'm bougie as hell. I'm actually about to open a booth in an antique mall selling vintage (if you're looking for anything lmk) and I'm really excited. I've been going there since I was a very little kid, and all the comic booths there definitely played a role in my collecting habits. Coming full circle

Yeah, that seems crazy, especially since the poster's only two posts so far are that and a post giving pierrot grief about calling them out.

The response from that account was actually one of the more amusing things I read yesterday, but the thing I'm really surprised by is that they showed up again just to shitpost.

Hey Megas, I'm not looking for anything in particular vintage wise, but I'm curious about what type of items you'll have available at your booth. Definitely keep us posted and share some pics of the booth once it's all set up!

I was also surprised by the spammer's clap back. He seemed pretty upset that we were actively using the forum. Lol.

I'd be curious to see as well. I am wearing more "formal" stuff now, with the grey hair starting to come in lol. Still on the gothic end but more 19th century subtle gothic instead of the streetgoth style I did before. It'll be a big haircut change as well. The bravest people are the ones growing out their undercuts.

That sounds awesome brother! While I personally couldn't get into vintage myself, I totally have a respect for the work y'all put into the craft. I don't have much knowledge on USA made stuff, but Japanese stuff I do. Undercover, Sacai (maybe too young of a brand), Comme des Garcon, etc. I love that stuff.

Many Japanese brands have perfected the craft of Americana, which I guess can go hand-in-hand with vintage. Taking older military and workwear styles and silhouettes and releasing new pieces. So we have Buzz Rickson and the more well known, The Real McCoy's. There are too many brands but if anyone is interested in getting into that aspect of Japanese fashion, check out this forum post over at StyleForum. Think peacoats, M65 jackets, classic sweatshirts, and so on. Mister Freedom is vintage-inspired. Some insane pieces in the outerwear section.

I actually really like Bape because it fits so well with Americana style vintage. An ABC Bape Camo button up with some nice old Levi's, boots, and a Stetson cowboy hat looks awesome and definitely stands out.

Now this is fascinating to me. Not because I'm big on fashion; I wear funeral suits for work because I work in a funeral home, and my relaxing clothes are Dickey's jeans or shorts, a ball cap, chucks, that kind of thing. But I see how popular these companies are, so I like to partially spread my investments into fashion. Started it with UNIQLO's owner a few years ago, but always looking to expand.

So what are the companies y'all see that are big or at the cutting edge of street fashion? What should I be paying attention to?

[Gucci]

So I guess “cutting edge” would be considered what is currently on-trend. In the case of streetwear, it’s larger silhouettes, wider fits, cropped and boxy tops. All of which I don’t like. I like a little more length in my tops so that when I raise my arms, you don’t see a “show” and for bottoms: I like a tapered fit. I hate excess fabric.

So if you like the larger silhouettes, sportswear brands like Nike have released many pieces that are on-trend. Streetwear brands like Stüssy and Neighborhood have their own take. On the high end: Auralee and Lemaire are some great brands (make sure your wallet is prepared).

Going on tangent: my personal style is more streetwear and I’m a fan of hybrid and/or functional pieces. Hybrids like mixing an MA-1 bomber with a hoodie or with a shirt. Functional pieces like tee shirts with pockets. Patchwork are at the top like button down shirts with a mix of color and fabrics.

Here’s a big list of shit that I like: https://imgur.com/a/q8w8Nxl
