I see TB pretty regularly on campus, class of 100 and almost guaranteed to see some TB sweats, don't think I've seen the suiting but no one wears suits on campus except business kids.

Here in Glasgow, TB is probably one of the most common brands being worn by foreign East Asian students. Never seen a TB suit though

If it weren't for his signature stripe tab on everything, I would consider some of Thom Browne's outwear.

This is pretty much universal. It's very popular amongst young, affluent, Chinese people.

I'm pretty sure that the brand took notice considering their revival under Japanese backers included plenty of stripped cardigans, sweatpants and varsities, which are the pieces I've seen on young Asian teens. I have several suits and jackets and like wearing them, pants were adjusted to normal length though so it is more of a straight up 60s look on me.

Just noticed a series of ironic acquisition that went too far. I have owned a black Supreme duffle bag for more than a decade and would sometimes purchase caps or whatever for friends but not for myself. A few yrs ago I started acquiring some stuff as some sort of joke, mainly to take the piss at the seriousness of some "avant-garde" fashion fans. I just made a list of what I own:
  1. W)taps X Supreme varsity
  2. Arc logo zip hoodie
  3. Arabic logo hoodie (people think of ISIS if you wear this)
  4. Logo sweatshirt
  5. Cuban shirt (this is cool and I wear it often)
  6. Aforementioned black duffle
  7. 2 pairs of logo socks
  8. Zebra print cap
  9. Paris cap
  10. tie dye cap
  11. Green anvil cap
  12. Liberty print cap
I had other caps but lost them or whatever. I hardly wear any of that stuff or streetwear in general, hell I hardly wear caps.

The only Supreme I've ever owned is their caps. They are solid and I wear them unironically for the most part.

I don't think that I've ever worn anything ironically.
