Underground clothing companies?

[madwilly240]

Okay I am into Volcom/Hurley/O Neill style clothes, and since ever since i left high school (03) I am tired of seeing everyone with the same clothes as me.

Anyone know any brands that are that style but not as popular? I know No Friends, Threadless, Oddica ..... check them out its stuff like that. I just am lookin for some more options, somethin fresh, somethin different.

THANKS.

[downshift_sideways]

kinda depends on where you are located and the underground skate shops they have. we have this shop called "the shop" and "milo"

They have some kick ass designs and logos.

[nrg]

fubu, American classic, etc.

[Pank]

Just throw a few hundred down on some designer jeans and black Tshirts and you'll be set. Shirts dont mean jack, the PANTS make the man.
Gorgasm, back me up on this
(true religions, holler

[alexchanman]

im into the the whole hip hop urban trends but not like most kids you might think of (big white tee and humounguos pants) so i tend to wear zoo york, lrg, supreme, nike sb clothing, nike BRS etc etc etc etc.

[sidnacious]

theres also stussy, the hundreds, neighborhood, futura lab and trendy shit like that

[ManoNegra]

Zoo York rocks.. Futura's shit is cool but hype + limited availability = my ass hurts.
Pick up an issue of Complex, Fader, Cargo, Mass Appeal and get your credit card ready.
Personally I pay attention to trends and style but I'm really not obsessed with them at all. I buy what I like, usually spur of the moment. I check the For Sale sections of Banana Republic, J Crew, Urban Outfitters, Gap and Levis for deals - usually jeans. Retail is for suckas.

edit: just stay away from Bape, that shit is ugly as fuck and way overhyped/overpriced. Nike ripoffs...

['90RPS13]

Pank:great men think alike.

I get my pants fron AnF and shirts from Goodwill. If your trying to get something no one has as in shirt wise, GoodWill is the place to be. Never know where a shirt comes from. I got a few that are elementary school class shirts. lol. its funny to see the remarks I get at a '03 3rd grade class shirt. *a

[mbmbmb23]

Search ebay for vintage Stussy shirts..........very one of a kind and very pimp.

[kurissuS13]

when i want to be original and unique, i just wear my bugle boy's and LA lights sneakers. u won't see anyone else rockin' that! :bigok:

[madwilly240]

just reminded me of that

[TurDz]

try karmaloop.com. It's probably exactly what you're looking for.

[sw20>>s14]

and sign up for their newsletter...they always offer free shipping and 10-15% off...too bad they no longer carry stussy...

[MrBrightSide]

Heres whats killing 06...... just to name a few more brands for you... The Hundreds, Mighty Healthy, Mishka, Crooks & Castles, 10 Deep, Shalom, J.Money, Acapulco Gold, Undefeated, aNYthing... im fucking HYPEBEAST. BTW Bathing Ape is played out...

[alexchanman]

karmaloop's flagship store is located right in boston and thats where i do my shopping.

[tacotacotaco]

http://www.digitalgravel.com/ thats that.

[DaHamma]

THEHUNDREDS.COM just look around the site you will find a place to buy some of the shirts
This site is more local E.G 626 (SGV Area) but you might dig some of the shirts http://whatissgv.com/market1.html

[Edgar]

I never see people wearing shirts like me

Just don't buy into the ahem hype and learn to think for yourself. 90% of the stuff being fed to us is garbage and 5 years from now we'll be embarassed to admit we liked it. I tend to buy things with some type of meaning attached to them.

For example -
These are shoes godawful to most people but I want them because 'Dia De Los Muertos' has meaning to most Latin people:
http://www.hypebeast.com/upload/2006/06/dia-de-los-muertos-nike-dunk-sb.jpg

And these 'Mork & Mindy' Dunks because to me they're 'Ultraman' shoes and I grew up with Ultraman:

I go to the Levi's outlet, drop a couple hundred bucks, leave with 10+ pairs of jeans, stop by Old Navy in the wintertime and get the long sleeved "heathered" t-shirts, layer them with short sleeve t-shirts I get 5-for-20 at Champs sports, then match them to my knit hats my moms makes for me.
Summer, I go BACK to Levi's, buy shorts, hang the long sleeves upstairs, and put the hats in a box.

[sw20>>s14]

just go to metropark or villians (vault) and youre set...

Yes, of course only the CRAP gets famous. I've heard some underground acts here that are hot...but everyone is into that crunk sound or whatever you wanna call it. And then whatever is decent goes to crap. Pitbull was actually decent on his mixtapes, and his album is a good 1st release (check the track with bun b or the one with trick daddy)...but lately he's been overexposing himself and not really trying at all. *sigh*

Anways, more Dade clothing. lol. :D

im all about the jeans. T shirts i just get from goodwill and salvation army usually. 2 bux for them and theyre like old as hell.
jeans r a diff story. ive dropped over 300 on jeans from japan. levis vintage, evisu, anything made out of selvage denim.

Bape is all hype now too. i was into that shit way back, now i have enough $ to buy it, and its too retarded. with master Ps kid or whoever wearing a XXXXXXXXXL bape sweatshirt down to his knees n shit. F that. screw nigo he sold out.

number nine, neighborhood, undercoverism, w/taps, evisu. i love all those brands. cant get em unless your in NY, or japan unfortunately. or ebay.

Exactly... im with you all the way with denims... anything made out of selvage denim is hott right now (evisu, levis stf, apc, nudies, cheap monday...).. its that super stiff look... thats what makes your fit stand out. You can have the illest shoes, but if you got the wrong gear on... your shits still wack.

[meteorite_flo]

i wear upperplayground hoodys/shirts, it's located in SF.

[WERDdabuilder]

anyone be rockin artful dodger? i need to get me some hoodies soon.

[jessfx]

zoo york is pretty sick.

my big bro's actually been getting me into that name.

zoo york for men is pretty dope. the women's line is pretty sweet, too.

i looooove it.

i like the simple shit that tribal gear puts out. soul rebel is pretty fresh and simple too.

[Irukandji]

My cousin is making his own clothing brand .
http://www.motmotdesign.com/
not sure if the site has any of his shirts listed. he's sent me a few and I like em a lot.


You can try TilaFashion, but honestly, I would only wear that if I planned on "accidentally" bumping into her.

[SochBAT]

I've never been into the whole fashion thing.

Im a bland guy that wears blank shirts, and sometimes, i DIY design with oil stains and ink blots.

Anyone went the the Obey sale a ways back? People capitalized on that crap.

Band shirts are pretty awesome too.

[MrBrightSide]

I can get you the rose dagger sz medium, but its going to cost you $230+ (its the black w/ pink flower stitching that Lupe Fiasco is rocking in his video 'Kick Push') Let me know asap if you want it... I have many people asking for it...

[Dousan_PG]

MARSHALLS and ROSS
best clothing ever
where else can u get a pair of jeans for 10 bucks.
fuck fashion

[Irukandji]

you forgot TJ Maxx bitch.

[ManoNegra]

Lots of cool stuff but why does everything have to be an XXL? Not everyone likes to looks like a potato sack...
