Your question is apparently not cool enough. Seems straightforward to me, but what do I know? I'd provide some insight but I'm not familiar with Gilded Age.

It's a solid brand with a rep for good knits. It's sold at the BNY co-op if that adds any cool points. Go for it.

It's a weird brand in some ways.

Some of it is made in Japan and the quality on those pieces are very good. The rest are made in China...

I like the brand. I have several bd's, t's and knits. Manufacturing location is dependant on the item and season. Most of their higher end knits, pants and denim are mij. Bd's from past seasons Hong Kong and newer seasons China. However, as mentioned by other members, location of production is not the best indicator of quality. With this said, I find the overall quality is good. The retail price point of the pieces is high but Stefan holds approximately two sample sales per year in NYC. The sample sales discount items at 70% or more. Also, keep in mind, Gilded Age takes phone orders during the sample sale. Fit is tts on bd's and the cut is great not BoO slim but slim enough. Pants and jeans vary piece to piece. I suggest you become familiar with the product and wait for a sample sale, unless gilt prices blow you away. I partially agree with ppllzz, the s/s 2010 had an abercrombie aesthetic.

I agree with robin the fabric, dye and craftmanship on the mij pieces are top notch.

Tried on some of their jeans. Good fit, good material, a bit pricey. Could be a good time to buy on Gilt.

I went to their last sample sale in NYC and I wasn't super impressed. Their distressed denim, which seemed to make up the majority of their jeans, didn't look much better than Adriano Goldschmied or Diesel, but at 2-3x the price (MSRP, sample sale prices were good.. ~$70 for a pair of jeans). Their shirts looked decent, but they didn't have any in my size at the sample sale.

Also, none of their jeans seemed to come in a 34 inseam.. everything was 32. If this suits you, you could also check out the Barneys sale online, which has a bunch of Gilded Age denim right now.
