well read in WWD that UO saw their first quarter sales plummet as according to them, there was a "tectonic shift" away from the distressed graphic look and more towards 80's plain colors. Guess their "inspiration" graphics scouters might be offloading mighty quickicon_smile_blackeye.gif

this is something I have known for a long time. Supreme most definitely buys bags from Army Surplus companies and sews their little labels on them and makes a huge profit. I love it when I see little dipshits carrying around bags wbeaming with pride that should cost around $30-$40.

here's one of my favorites:

but is the Australian Army rucksack done in scatterweave? with YKK zips? Uh, no.

I can see you`re point about Supreme borrowing patterns from other packs but the actual production is obviously done for Supreme. They dont buy the exact same bags `and sew the supreme label in`, dipshit.

Gonna have to agree with Milspex here.

But just like Safeway brand "Grain O's" and Cheerios might be made in the same factory. I would speculate that Supreme's bags are coming from very similar places as those that we've seen in surplus stores...if not the same place.

Not sure if that's difficult to understand or not.

the Supreme backpack I have is extremely nice. It's made out of scatterweave nylon, not cotton (as that rucksack appears to be) and is made in the USA.

Also the Supreme M65 is made out of waterproof moleskin and includes a liner and also has a different, heavier-weight hood than the mil-spec M65.

I'm glad I own both.

I'm not even sure what you're point is Milspex. Look, when I think of quality, I think Vietnam.

all my supreme luggage (3 duffles, 2 backpacks) are made in the USA, but whatever, Vietnam or wherever I dont really give a fuck-Some of the best quality manufactured apparel these days comes outta China for example.

Supreme M65s are obviously better finished than you`re standard M65. Dont act like its the same, its not.

this argument is dumb.

if dior makes jeans, and so does old navy, why not buy old navy?

obviously the quality is better. anyone arguing for "army surplus" has never owned a supreme product.

--- Original message by werdtoyourmoms on Mar 17, 2006 09:16 PM

actually dior is a bad example...not for the jeans, because they're quality...but nowadays the only quality stuff coming out of the Dior house is the suits and jeans...that's all the brand ever was, to me anyways. A lot of the cotton tops/knits I've seen for S/S 06 is comparable to H&M, the casual wear is just stuff to sell. But the suits and jeans, that's where Hedi's touch works real magic...definitely take a pair of DH orange overdyes over H&M any day...

i'm rambling but i'm drunk so whatever...

Milspex and Minya are totally on point. The quality of Supreme products are superior. Do they warrant the price? That is for the consumer (hypebeast or afficionado) to decide.

BTW think of the US Army, and think whether these basterds select their goods based on quality or price? There are some of wonderful quality, and there are pieces that is complete shit. And don't even get started about the fit.

its commonplace for companies to take an item to the manufacturer, tell them to make it the same with a few details changed. alot of companies that make the original items for the mil also do private label (provided that its worth their time financially). so one cannot say off the bat that they just rebadge something. however, i agree that they shouldnt be applauded for recycling existing designs (like the jansport rip that came out recently), only for upping the quality factor, if in fact that is what they have done.

supreme stuff isn't overpriced in the store, in fact i would almost argue that they're stuff is reasonable to cheap. (obviously that's relative, but under 200 for a high-qual backpack is 'decent', yknow?)

supreme products are super high quality, especially the bags. true, the 19th bag looks a lot like that surplus bag, but its not the same. zip pockets where that has clips, scatterweave, super high quality material, and number one...its made in the us. they retail for $148. its super high quality, burly zippers, everything is on point, so the price is justified. as goes for most of their stuff. what people dont seem to get is that they have no say in what goes on with their product once it leaves their shelves. true, $100 for one of their t shirts is wayyyy too much, but when it was sold in their store for $30, its reasonable.

blame the resellers, not supreme.

BALDERDASH.

LMAO

Yeah. Even though troops in Iraq don't have armored vehicles or protective gear, they're rocking the freshest gear from Supreme.

I think I saw a Sargeant rocking a Dipset tee on the news the other day.

Surplus stuff is almost always better quality than anything that is copied and rebranded, especially if it is made for the United States military. All government contracts are very specific about details because of the need for uniformity (it's the military remember). I have a "ammo bag" that I drug through the deserts of Iraq, Kuwait and the jungles of Panama and all the snaps, zippers, attachment points are still in serviceable condition after (since 1989) years of terrible abuse. Additionally, it has more cred in my opinion because it is original and not a hyped item. I guess there are exceptions as there always seem to be.

I personally think Supreme makes the best street gear period.

tell me one other brand makes higher quality backpacks, jackets, sweats than Supreme and is in the

same price range.

even the t-shirts are better than most brands even without the graphics/designs. I just like the cut of their shirts.
