B100 by B.Son & Urban Outfitters

[randomkoreandude]

anyone know whats up with the B100 line? is it just cheaper cuz its made of worse quality? B100 Line i have been shopping for some fall wear from b.son and can't understand why UO has cheaper prices unless it is due to quality ...

I would guess that the materials are slightly cheaper since the prices are significantly cheaper.

With that said, the hoodie looks pretty cool, I'm going to see if they carry it at the UO near me.

That hoodie is a copy of my hoodie from f/w 07. It retailed for $140-50, something like that, but I picked it up from the s/s sale for less than they're selling the b100.

Don't hold me completely to it but aside from this zipper being brass instead of black, the c/u shot shows that the material isn't the same. The UO version looks like a standard black while mine has a horizontal slub to it (it's actually one of the reasons I bought it). I'm curious to see how the two compare in terms of feel but for $88 unless it's a total piece of uncomfortable crap you're getting a decent deal.

B.Son isn't super high quality but that's really not the point; you're paying for the cut. I guess UO took that idea and stripped it down even futher.

UO in the past has also gotten stuff from companies like Morphine Generation, but they get it a full season after most boutiques or other stores. Essentially, you're getting the same item for what would be a sale price in the original store. Not sure what the deal is with B.Son, or Corpus either since I've seen it there.

I don't think it's the same deal. UO's doing a lot of "By xxxxx for UO" collabs recently where the pricepoint is clearly directed toward a certain spend-friendly demographic. The materials, workmanship, etc. would most likely reflect the discount on the label.

When Rebecca Beeson learns that a man's torso is smaller than his legs and arms, maybe I'd give a ****.
