I don't know if this is the right board to suggest this, since Men's Style is more about style, but here goes.Originally Posted by JackTheRipper
Why doesn't SF have a subforum for reviews of products? This forum is essentially about buying clothes as much as it is about discussing the aesthetics and fit of clothing. A review subforum would be very useful to organize threads and reduce special flower threads. A person who's interested in Brand X jeans in Y fit could search up a thread that reviews the jeans in detail instead of having to look through an entire 100+ page "OFFICIAL BRAND X JEAN" thread. Sure, you could call that person lazy for not searching harder...or you could call it being more efficient.
A review thread would have the measurements of the product (preferably and before and after wash to warn of any shrinkage), the measurement of the person (optional), the retail price of the product, a brief review of its quality, craftsmanship, price:quality ratio, and fit. Of course, a copious amount of pictures to follow the review so other SFers can decide for themselves if they want to buy the product online or through SF's marketplace. This is especially beneficial to people who don't have easy physical access to the product they want (ie; a person in Colorado would have a very hard time finding a place to try on Uniqlo jeans). Others who has the same product that has been reviewed could also chime in with their opinions of said product.
I'm not the knowledgeable in terms of the bandwidth of SF, but I doubt a subforum would be an incredible hassle to mods or an extremely arduous task to perform. Please take this into consideration.
Okay, but reviews don't write themselves.
