That wasn't really directed at you Rye, but more towards the notion that I feel like some forum goers have a lofty impression of SF in that we're not swayed by what's "trendy" or "hot" atm which couldn't be any farther from the truth.
I can't really agree with that....maybe a smidge. The folks here represent a real minority of the market for Men's clothes. 90% of the brands mentioned here don't make that much money because F***ers like us are few and far between. If we were swayed by what was trendy and hot we'd see far more of the following brands here:
A&F
American Eagle
Gap
Drifter
Affliction
Nike
True Religion
Diesel
Kenneth Cole
........................The list could go on for pages before most of the brands here would make an entrance.
I agree that micro trends for certain brands exist here:
W + H
5EP
Engineered Garments
Michael J Krell (Word-Up Yo!)
Flathead
Samurai
45rpm
KMW
Nudie........ etc
but for a handful of people on a forum of a few hundred in a country of 300+ million to purchase what another poster has doesn't warrant labeling a trend. We all exist in our own parts of the world and once off line we're all loners in the style stakes amongst our friends, neighbors and siblings who opt for more mainstream brand clothing.
