Reedo, I'm gonna don some cdg the next time I'm in town. Will change your opinion.

Dude at that sample sale alone I saw/handled thousands of CDG pieces from many different seasons. I know it was a poor sample indicator of typical CDG product, but the staggering amount of godawful things just really sealed my opinion of the brand. That I couldn't find a single attractive/nice feeling piece in thousands should really say something

That you have ****** tastes ?

j/k, sample sales are probably the worst place to judge the quality, whatever that means, of a brand. A staggering amount of awful **** doesn't mean anything for a brand with an output such as CDG's, it's still just a fraction of the total amount of pieces produced. Besides, even great stuff ends up looking so-so at sample sales, when you just went through dozens and dozens of clothing racks it just becomes one big pile of boring clothes (I can't count the number of times I passed on stuff because I thought it looked unimpressive on the spot only to regret it days later).

Not only that, but seeing everyone digging through the piles of clothing at those sales definitely makes it less appealing. Of course, days later you regret not grabbing those carrot pants (because some #menswear guy was petting the fabric as if it was a cockapoo).

I agree with all of this. I guess what so shocked me was the sheer volume of bad clothes produced by them. Just that they had enough garish, ugly garbage to fill an ENTIRE LONDON BLOCK with only minor replication throughout was, as I saw it, a testament to how hit or miss CDG can be, at the very least.

Immediately became my favorite pair of shoes. Soft leather, comfortable, nice matte black color, and the last works really well for the kind of pants I tend to wear. I don't think I'd wear them with a nice suit, but otherwise they're great for everything from jeans and a t-shirt to business casual officewear. Kopped them from Acrimony for around $180.

I've seen a lot of cool stuff from CdG, but I've also seen a lot of garbage. Snake's shimmer jacket is undeniably awesome...

Spoiler

...but that pink blazer was a nightmare. I can't think of another brand I've seen so much variation from.

I've gotten plenty of compliments on my black pair over the years. I've worn them with my suits before and actually think they look nice.
