The quality of J. Crew definitely DOES NOT justify the price. Wait until the items are 40% or 60% off, which they inevitably will be as new season items come in. The brand leans too heavily on their "heritage" branding but the majority of the items are made on the cheap in china. The Wallace & Barnes sub-label is better quality for the price. Love your content, Man! Cheers!

Nice choices. Your videos always help me cope with Sunday mornings and the week ahead. Re: Allen Edmonds, my dad used to wear their shoes almost exclusively when he was working at a job that required formal attire. He's retired, so there's been no need to keep up with the brand's current offerings, but my impression was that they made durable, timeless shoes. I was a bit too young to really appreciate them, but I know he'd get a pair or two every year in slightly different shades when they were discounted. Mostly tassel loafers. They'd last years with a bit of care. He took pride in their being made in the USA. At least in the 80s-early 00s, they seemed to maintain reliable standards. He'd joke how colleagues would pay 2-3x more for Gucci and other Italian made shoes and it was so soft and supple that it'd wear out in a season. His were built more like little tanks. I have a single pair of their loafers gifted in the early 00s when I was off to college. Aside from some wear at the back heels, they still look nearly new. Of course, in your early twenties, you aren't likely to favor your father's favorite shoes so they were never worn to death, but I kept them and have found that they have come in handy more recently. They were even unexpectedly trendy a little while back. An ironic little twist!

Loved this style of video. New ideas and great analysis.

JCrew actually has very good quality clothes,but the prices are getting stupid. I live in USA, and 2024 is looming very ominously! Really like when you showcase looks like this!

What length is the leather jacket you bought ?

Ur vids help me cope

Cool video, I like when you do these outfit reviews. Where’s your jumper (we call them sweaters in the States) from?

You and Harry Has always upload vids at the same time haha

I think it would be interesting if you covered any of the paris fashion week looks

J. Crew is okay quality. The prices don’t line up with the quality tho id wait for a sale on any item. Allen Edmunds it’s the same deal, good quality especially their dress shoes. They have sales every few months so id never recommend buying full price

What is the sweater you are wearing from mate? It’s nice

The Air Max 95 is my favorite Nike shoe, but I tend to avoid colabs.

Let’s go 😁

I cannot find the sweater you’re wearing from Uniqlo x JW Anderson. Would you happen to be able to send me a link haha?

Yesss, snakes on clothes makes everything three times cooler

Off the topic direct query: did you got lean over the period from 2018 till now ? I guess you have, the facial structure is more robust and pronounced now...😊 Can you share what routine you followed for the results

In my experience, J Crew was a very good value at one time. They provided a gateway for beginner style enthusiasts to explore a variety of traditional styles, at a price not too far above Gap/ Old Navy. It seems within the past couple of years, their prices have increased with no real increase in quality. They do however make great leather footwear, some even GYW. That being said, the quality is not bad at all, but not at full retail price.

Let me guess, your sweater is from JW Anderson & Uniqlo

😍😍😍

I came across GU when I was in Japan. The brand offers great minimal basics at affordable prices, but lately it has become a bit touristy and the lines at the checkouts are very crowded. I would rather shop at other Japanese brands like Wego, where most locals shop. They even have a secondhand section, but I personally can't stand the smell of vintage clothes lol.

When I see people wearing outfits that are ike $1500 I just think that's a waste. You can find very similar pieces and get a very similar feel for less than half. People buy branded stuff way too much. Like Goral for example, they make extremely premium leather boots and sneakers and you can get them for $200-$300. Where as people will blow like $800 on some dumb Gucci shoes that are way lower quality.

Bit disappointing that my comment got deleted

Yes SHEIN, fashion nova, boohoo man and H&M = 🗑️

How do these people afford like £1500 outfits? Is literally everyone else in the world secretly rich?
