Syek hates cos shirting but at the price point I think it's good bang for buck. I notice the improvement over UNIQLO. MOP buttons, some nicer fabrics and so forth. Collars are a bit whatever but servicable (good collars only come in when you start paying dollars) The slim fit ones should be slim enough for you.

Wouldn't go near all saints for it but have no experience.

d'you guys think these are made from the same fabric as that one gitman shirt?

Thought I'd mention that is anonymously designed by Margaret Howell. Sorry if it's been said before, but a lot of people seem to be into her these days and it's a comparatively cheap way to get some of her look. In the UK it's currently only available in the Carnaby Street store. I'm not sure about other countries.

Recent H&M purchase. Linen/cotton blend.

???

Zara has j-cut moto/balmah jeans this season

H&M shirting on point for $10.

SLP & the gap

If those weren't ripped i'd probably buy them. Or should I buy them ripped anyways

COS continues to disappoint... feels like there's not been anything new / interesting in months.

Some new stuff on H&M though.



Satin bomber



Collarless shirt



Pleated pants

Bottom two feel very Lemaire.

Speaking of COS their US site just opened w/ a 20% discount! (HELLOAMERICA at checkout)

http://www.cosstores.com/us/

kinda disappointed none of the cool sweatshirts made over here

Any idea what COS quality is comparable to? Pricing is in kind of a weird spot, will be interesting to see if they fall into the annoying trap of running promo codes all the time, hoping not.

COS quality can be very good. Often made in Turkey or Portugal. Often looks better IRL than on the net. I popped into a store a few weeks back and things i'd thought looked boring where still boring but the texture / fabric was impressive.

Some of it can be a bit hit / miss but what you get for your money compared to everywhere else on the high street is very good. Pricing makes much more sense than places like All Saints or Zara (+ every other high street store).

Treat it like you would jcrew, for the price it's all right but it goes on sale often and that's when it gets good.

Good denim and chambray shirts at uniqlo. Also got one of the linen blend t shirts, wears nice under button ups

How are the linen t shirts? I'm probably gonna pick up one or two

So should I size up on them? I do kind of want them to be roomier, my tts uniqlo shirts fit like this

Relevant to this thread:

COS is now in the beautiful united states of america: http://www.cosstores.com/us/

free shipping and 25% off with a code they email you

Thanks bhajz and cameron, I think I'm going to size up. Probably gonna go with the natural and wine colors

Received my common cosjects in the mail today. Can't comment on the quality yet, but from a first impression these aren't too bad. Have leather insoles, shoes are pretty comfy, and leather isn't too bad. They are a little bit roomy; I should have gone down 1 size, but fuck it. We'll see how these last in the long-run.


Side profile fit pic

Maybe it's the angle but they look a lot chunkier in that photo

COS aw14











Some of it looks interesting and i'm sure there's more (at least 10 bomber jackets), but there was some cool stuff from the last two season in the lookbook that never made it to production.

Here's some of the womens. Couldn't find bigger pics:

womens better than mens on high street shocker.

Parka looks alright I SUPPOSE.

Sometimes i fee like COS is dead to me. It honestly feels like the majority of this season has been t shirts, polo shirts, chinos, bomber jackets. Maybe my tastes have changed but i remember it being a lot more exciting.

Innit. Still strong trews x knitwear at sale prices though. And if I had to dress for a formal job I'd clean up on their boringwear.

In other news, did anyone win the OTHER store spending spree?
