B Store quality seems pretty alright from stuff I handled, standard fair for mid-range pricing a la Filippa K, APC or Acne. Really like the styling of this collection, especially some of the shirts and shoes which I will probably kopp by seasons end.

Yeah but it was more like a skivvy/sweat shirt (and that cardigan) than a warm jumper, it wouldn't keep you warm thats for sure, made the amount asked seem a tad ridiculous, but I'll admit if I could I would.

I'm eying these Tretorns, but the fact that they're poplin not canvas has gives me pause. Should it? Any disadvantages to poplin sneakers?

Poplin breathes reasonably well. When I have to wear dress shirts in the summer they're either broadcloth or poplin.

i like the jacket but that you would ask about those sneakers makes me question your judgement.

I don't like that it looks like rick owens rip off, but still love it.
Are b store products well made ? This would be my first item from them.

Bikkembergs, really cheap like 70% of the price, an acquaintance bought them in black, he doesn't like the color so he is selling them.

Yeah, OAK is terrible for the opposite reason. I went into the store last week and all the stuff I expected to be really nice felt either okay or ******, but I was pleasantly surprised by a few things, namely Raf x jeans with a polyeurathane coating which I will probably kopp as soon as I sell one of my pairs.
