do you think fake reigning champ stuff exists? i found this sweatshirt on grailed for a good price but the tag looks different from the tags i've seen on other RC stuff.

I don't think anyone is going to the trouble of faking a mid-range brand like that. Any RC stuff I've seen recently had that exact same tag fwiw

Recommendations for smart/casual sweatpants?

Is that the midweight sweater? I have a lot of RC and it looks like the same tag I usually have.

Yeah, it is.
How does the condition look in the picture I posted? Worth $72? The seller says the condition is 10/10 but I see some white threads poking out of the shoulder seam in the top-right of the pic.

Darn tough socks are USA made and well regarded. Pretty expensive though. At least they come with a lifetime warranty.

can't go wrong with timex for analog quartz, gshock for digital, or seiko 5 for automatic under $100
A Seiko-5 or G-shock should do nicely.
Stay away from "fashion" watches. They're usually gaudy, cheaply made and trade quality for a high-end fashion name.

I get a lot of compliments on the couple of Timex Weekenders that I own, and those don't run more than about $30-$40.

They look a little bit more prominent than on mine, but not sure if it's the lighting. Personally I don't buy second hand clothes, I buy new or on sale and usually only from stores where I can return the items without a hassle unless I'm sure it will be fine.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna wait until I can get an RC sweatshirt for a decent price from an online store. I don't want to be SOL if I order something and it doesn't fit.
Also: a bunch of stuff is on sale on Adidas.com right now, and there's a discount code you can use ("FRIENDS30") to get an additional 30% off your order.
Not all items are eligible of course, but I managed to snag some Adidas x RC french terry sweatpants for only $53. I've heard that Adidas x RC stuff isn't quite as good as mainline RC, but if mainline RC is worth $110 then I doubt Adidas x RC isn't worth $53.

There's been loads of RC marked down at the Nordstrom Racks around here, if hitting up one of the brick-and-mortar stores is an option for you.

Think im gonna buy these;
Was eyeing them as well, but I don't think I can commit my whole aesthetic to a pair of shoes. They're a lot more specific to an outfit than my pair of Rick Mastodons; would probably jump on some Level Runners if those were on sale... Also thinking about some Neil Barrett kicks that are in my size.

Thoughts on CP company stuff? Recently snagged the T-Mack White jacket from the END sale.
No opinion on the quality of their stuff but just wanted to say: nice choice! I was looking at that exact jacket on END just yesterday, haha. Let us know how you like it!
Not as robust but I'm also a huge fan of Asics' Jyuni line:
Sadly even with END's sale atm I'm kinda short on cash to try them out. ._.

Yeah I had that exact Asics Jyuni's on my sights too, but I couldn't resist the CP company one when I saw it even though it's so much more expensive. 
The Asics Jyuni line is pretty dope though. I have their track jacket which I love.

Damn $120 for a pair of shorts.
Yes, but pretty much the best shorts I've ever owned.

Do you know if they ever do sales?
Nope. Outlier sometimes does "WTF" packs where you pay $60 and they ship you something in your size but you don't know what. But they've cut down on that a lot this year.
Are they slim fittish?

I haven't tried them yet, but I've been wondering too about the fits. I like pretty skinny jeans and I'm not sure Outlier really offers that

Anybody have a nice list of essential, foundational guy's fashion? I've got a completely scattershot wardrobe with random jeans and pants, design print t-shirts, a couple of casual blazers that fit well, socks with funky patterns, and a few button downs that have last me a bunch of years.
This seems like a good starter list to begin, but maybe a little too basic? taylorlapeyre.com/basicwardrobe.info
I'm a college instructor, I tend to just wear street clothes to teach, occasionally dressing up but keeping it pretty relaxed. I really like streetwear and I'm attracted to hip hop/punk kind of stuff. At the same time, I'm already 33 - good god - so I recognize that I need to sharpen up a bit and just have some strong essentials that fit me well. I'm also on the hunt for a new job (actually, an entirely new career), so a good, modern-looking contemporary men's wardrobe will probably be necessary pretty soon.
Help me sharpen up and get the essentials, MensFashionGAF!
