Street cred: Patagucci out, Arc’teryx up

[Meadow Skipper]

A fashion tip for baller wanna-bes. “Arc’teryx on me/No we don’t run no Patagonia.”


Gotta keep up. Whatever happened to The North Face as cool shit street wear?

Or is this tech talk, jong!?

[Benny Profane]

Funny thing though, my buddy shows up head to toe in North Face the other day (gets comp prices as an instructor), and I said, damn, that is nice shit you're wearing. They really upped their game.

Wait till they discover the plushness of FRS. Wild ride ahead.

It's an interesting void in the market.

NF now a commodity with its own outlet stores.

Arc now owned by Chinese PE firm and designers are quitting in droves according to a friend who used to be a designer there.

Who's going to actually innovate?

Standard life cycle of outdoor apparel brands.

Core outdoor athlete focused -> Rich white dudes -> college girls -> urban street wear -> super sale at Marshall’s

Thank god for stio.

It’s old school

Hope it stays that way. Don’t think Steve will sell out again. But if it becomes urban hip what will I wear?

[XXX-er]

I think you ^^ missed out the step when the small core designer/ maker sells out to the big boys and why shouldn't they cash in ?

Vintage is where it's at. My darling daughter scored a pristine 1980's Sierra Design puffy from a thrift store. She was pissed that she had to pay a whole $20 for it. She'll wear that before any dead bird shit.

Stio is fine but not exactly pushing the design or development envelope.

[detrusor]

Ummmm

Stio is urban hip

Micol needs to hire Kendrick Lamar to rap in FRS Antero jackets

[dunfree]

So, nothing changed in a decade?

edit: or in the case of arc’teryx they have “the same” jackets running since Bill Clinton was President.

I'm more of a Columbia guy myself

They have ruined their share of good brands by buying them and consolidating into the family.

I got an arcteryx rain shell this spring as a gift. Nice shell but I sure wish it didn't have that logo on it, I'm not looking to pimp their stuff or try to get credit for wearing it

So true

[ötzi]

I was in a store today in an upscale area and it was full of Helly Hansen gear, maybe they're next.

Exactly. The designs are obvious. And well established. Just put the money into the best cloth and zippers. That’s all I need.

Arcteryx used to do that. So did cloudveil. Fuck them both.

[retirwntm]

So is this Stio stuff nice? I keep getting blown up on my Instagram. It seems nice enough but it is not cheap. $100+ shorts they better be cupping the balls or something.

Heh. Everything I’ve bought has been at least 30% off. Still expensive. But quality.

Just ski wear really. Plus some town coats. I don’t need $100 shorts to cup my balls.
