don't get it at all. quality repeatedly lets me down, but I repeatedly buy the garbage because everyone seems to think it's amazing. Jackets all have this awkward cropped look, while the shirting fits me terribly because whenever I get the right fit in the shoulders the length hits my thighs.
Oh, and the other day I saw a funny thread sticking out of my white ocbd, pulled on it a bit and the top button hit the floor. Probably worn that shirt three times.

i'm going to pick on any of the common projects collaborations where they are inferior in quality yet still get badged with the "sacred serial numbers" on the side of the heel.
so when I see any common projects collabs - I begin to hate Common Projects.. more and more.
because I could be wearing my almost 3 year old grey achilles and then a friend of mine will begin to boast about these CPs he bought for "$100 brand new" off ebay that are some weird purple felt color and part of a obscure collaboration 2 years ago... then I realize that I do hate common projects for diluting their brand with this collaboration ****.

Though to be fair, it's kind of fun to "hate" and I love seeing people wearing brands I hate in well done outfits.
If there are brands I truly dislike, it's the abundance of mid-tier "meh" brands that just sell basic shirts, pants, without offering anything new or exciting. Stuff like Michael Bastian, Tim Hamilton, and a **** ton of others I can't even be bothered to name. Nothing distinctive or appealing.

I don't think that's a bad thing to give ppl options, as long as their fit/cuts aren't just big blobs. i.e, I like Simon Spurr just because their **** fits me well, but it's not as if he's putting out anything really distinctive.

I admit to over-generalizing, but it gets to a point where it just looks like an endless sea of bland OCBD, raw denim, and generic outerwear at crazy retail. I get that some stuff is "nice" but ultimately that doesn't justify a lot of these brands existing.
