Company of We

[DesignerValet]

Has anyone heard of this brand before? Don't know what the quality is like, but some of their pieces look promising:

Yeah, interesting stuff. Some of it looks like it's being different, just for the sake of being different. Other pieces just don't make sense in the context of the collection. Do any stores stock it?

Quite like this stuff. Designs really run the gamut, but I like that. This brand's got potential. Would like to see their fall stuff.

Does anyone have any experience with the qaulity and fit of this brand?

Wow a lot of that is kind of scary, and the models totally pull the zoolander look... not feelin it at all.

It has been around and discussed since they started in the spring or whatever. I'd expect mediocre quality and a slim fit like a h&M/zipia/yesstyle type thing

They gave an interview to Valet and when talking about cost/quality, "We're constantly finding a way to make the impossible possible. It's always a rush being able to discover that lot of Loro Piana fabric at a price that allows us to use it for our production." Sounds like a very SF-friendly brand.

At $70 a shirt it doesn't look like the quality will be much better than J. Crew or something. And their knits don't look like anything better than you'd find at american apparel.

I think I'm gonna buy this shirt, why the hell not. http://www.companyofwe.com/product_p/shr002.htm I've been looking for a cheaper button up with smaller collar and contrast buttons anyway.

Looks like a women's shirt. There is darting the front and it has lycra in it.

 

[Big Pun]

Hmm yea didn't notice the darting.
