  1. Sup, Dior Homme 06 Jacket in Sz 54, the jacket has been well kept I only rocked it a handful of times. No damages at all except for some slight pilling and comes from a smoke free environment. I would say its in 9/10 condition. Its made out of wool, poly and cashmere (feels incredible). Throw on a scarf and your all set for the winter.

    pit to pit : 54 cm

    top to bottom : 68.5 cm (from rear collar)

    shoulder length : 68cm (shoulder hem to cuff)

  2. Like you said though, all though this collaboration isn't too imaginative/bland, Supreme already knows the shit will sell out. Just look at those $118 (shipping included) Mickey tees for reference.

    Supreme is getting out of hand with the prices, I didnt even realize how much that tee was cuz i wasnt even interested.

  3. That suede front sweater is classic NYC, you used to see tons of dudes rocking those things in the late 70's/early 80's in Brooklyn. Go look in a Jamel Shabazz book , I bet you'll find some people wearing them.

    Not only that, you'll find like 90% of supreme's inspiration for alot of their pieces.

    I actually like the suede front sweater a lot, the most interesting piece this season imo. Everything else has been released almost every year.

  5. Save all that deep rooted mess. Its a skate shop that caught a buzz and rode it to where its at now. It started as a skateshop, not as the store it is today.

    Calling Alife a rip is completely unfounded. The 1st Alife opened on Orchard st in 99. Supreme was still just a skate shop then. The dunks hadnt even come out yet and that was the 1st thing that tipped the brand into what it is now. I dont even know if they had done a shoe with Vans yet.

    Alife sold footwear, clothes, provided art direction for Mass Appeal (Jest is fam with Supreme, hence the big article on Supreme in Mass Appeal. Pics are here.) and other clients, and hosted art openings all under the same roof. None of that was done by Supreme save for the selling of shoes and clothes. Is it just because they both have a red/white logo you think they're biting? Alife took the Life Magazine logo, Supreme took theirs from Barbara Krueger. They are both biting someone else.

    At the very least they put Jest (Alife owner) and Dash Snow (alife worker come artist) in the Friends and Family section and modeling for the supreme book in 2005.

    And Supreme took plenty of influence from the likes of PNB, 555 Soul, Xlarge, Fuct, Etc so would Supreme be around if not for them?

    Last James gets a cut of all the stores in Japan plus the stores buy the clothing from James. Hence the ability to keep his company in the black and not have to sell unsold stock to accounts like "marshalls".

    All the deep rooted mess is what makes it what it is. The fact that it started as a skate shop and became a nyc icon is the whole point. Alife came in the game assuming a position, demanding the same respect and acclaim that a brand like supreme did but not earning it which is why it feels synthectic.

    Their not biting in the sense of picking and choosing designs but instead putting on a front. Saying that , Ive never even seen anybody rock their shit anyway so they must be doing something right. Thats not even my gripe, its the thought that anyone with knowlegde of both brands can put them on the same level. They are the poor mans supreme no matter how much more expensive their tees are.

    Supreme is nothing like any of those brands you named and havent been influenced by them, but rather doing slightly similar things around similar times which is easier to see now since supreme elipse's all those brands today.

    Whether or not brand integrity will still be strong in the future admitedly doubtful but they had a hell of a run so far.

  6. This is the last time im gonna do this, so here goes..

    All 3 companies use a mixture of Canadian based fleece manufactures and Chinese factories to produce their clothing lines. All 3 companies have ideals that are at the core of their brand (Supreme skate and NYC, Alife Downtown NYC and Art, Crooks Crime and LA/Long Beach). All 3 companies make limited product that is made limited to build hype and cache in the brand. All 3 companies create double label product with other key brands and or peers.

    I understand that Supreme has close to 6-8 yrs in age on the other 2, but age doesnt make you automatically better. Supreme is more selective with their wholesale accts but they can be due to the rapid consumption in the japanese market prior to 2006. If Japan never picked up on the brand I'd think that Supreme would be selling at some of those stores we feel are too commercial or watered down (debate this all you like but its been stated over and over in this thread how Supreme has been making more strides to line their pockets as a company lately. Imagine if they didnt have that overseas cushion).

    So basically you have 3 companies that use the same outlets to produce their goods, have the same concept of using an ethos to be the backbone of their brand, do the same things to garner media and consumer attention. When you look at it like that whats left is just your opinion of the brands and whether you like them or not. I like Supreme more than the other 2, but I know people who grew up in NY skating and think the brands a joke and would rather wear alife. I've seen kids wear head to toe crooks because they feel like it reps their lifestyle for better or worse. I cant say that they're worng and my clothes are better when the quality and the way the companies are run is the same. You can disagree but i'll stick by the statement that you're betting with you're heart if you do.

    fair enough but in this particular case the "ethos" of Supreme is much more layered and and deeply rooted in street, youth culture inspiration. Much more than just nyc / skate. Its hits you on so many different levels, music, religion, movies, nostlagia etc. Why do you some many people are attracted to it? Why do you their threads in sufu on this shit?

    You can make arguments for brands like stussy and such but alife?, crooks?

    Alife is a Supreme rip. Their atempt to be the other store in nyc with a boutique/nyc street atmosphere is lame and feels synthetic. Supreme does not fuck with them because of that. Also Supreme has embraced arts much more than alife. (neckface, gonz, harring, Terry rich, kaws and a bunch others. A new york times joutnalist called supreme the "chanel of skatewear" That would make alife oldnavy. alife is rots. The supreme ny owner doesnt own the supremes in japan and thats why their are so many. They are very selective of accounts in the states so you wont be seeing them in marshalls (LRG) anytime soon.

    I got no problems with crooks, they stepped up from just a print screen tee company but would they be around if supreme wasnt? Or alife for that matter.
