Does jewelry have to be expensive to be good

A lot of expensive jewelry is actually the same quality as jewelry priced several times cheaper, so why should we choose expensive necklaces, rings, bracelets? Most people buying these are mainly looking at the brand effect, but what if you have jewelry with the same strong design sense and the same quality as the brand you like, priced at something you can afford, and that can still attract a lot of admiring eyes? In comparison, maybe what suits you best is the most important thing after all

Is a large the same garment across brands?

Which two brands line up on size for you, and which do not?

Every product page on this site carries a fit note, and the size guides we compare come from the brands themselves. What none of that settles is whether a large in one brand is the same garment as a large in another. Two shirts can share a label and fit like different sizes, and the only way to know is to have worn both. So this is the thread for that. Name two brands, the size you take in each, and whether they match. If one runs big or small against the other, say where: chest, shoulders, sleeve, length. If you have found two brands that line up so well you can order either without thinking, that is worth writing down too.

What actually differs between Carhartt and Carhartt WIP?

Cloth, cut and make, from people who have worn both.

We compare Carhartt and Carhartt WIP on this site by price tier, and the two lines share a name and a duck canvas heritage. What the comparison cannot tell you is what changes in the garment itself when the price roughly doubles: the weight of the cloth, how the cut sits on the body, where the piece is made and how it is finished. If you have worn both, this is the place to say what you noticed. A Detroit jacket next to a Detroit jacket, a chore coat next to a chore coat. Did the cloth feel different in the hand, did one break in faster, did the sizing move between the two lines, did anything fail on one that held on the other.

A dragon tee from Standard, bought in New Zealand

Where do I find more like it?

I bought this streetwear style shirt from Standard while I was in New Zealand. The store was called General Pants Co or something, the quality is super nice and I love the design. Anyone know where I could get some similar styles?
