@Seul:

Unpop-op: I love Frank Sinatra.

@seawolf:

I think Frank Sinatra sounds like moth balls smell.

Now that’s funny. But I too love the chairman.

The "super black, non-fading" denim doesn't make sense to me at all, and I don't think I would every buy clothing made of it.

It just seems anti-"everything we love about denim", but (At least in conversation…. Idk about sales) it appears to be far more popular than the SBG... How Sway?!

[Matty123]

I question it existence as well. But some of the motorcycle crowd does love black.

[UnTucked]

I understand the love of bad-ass black denim in that circle of bros… But something seems less bad-ass about "I want my jeans to look new forever"

When all your regular jeans are beat to shit, a pair of SB denim can be worn in “polite company” without raising eyebrows 

[spitfiredealer]

It kinda looks cool when it's been worn loads though. Not faded but not new

like this

[UnTucked]

"Not faded"?! LMAO! 

Maybe it's the lighting, but those look BEAT, lol

[501IH]

Possibly he just meant the shirt???

[Max Power]

As much as I like faded indigo denim and also the SBG denim, I still would like to have a nonfading pair as Grey is not as appealing as black.

[pillowPANTS]

Pretty sure those SB are just filthy, not faded. Like buddy was doin drywall all month

[neph93]

I prefer SB to SBG (which I also like). The denim looks great when worn in. No contrast fades but it still ages really well. My SB IHSH-85 is the first IH shirt I bought and is so soft and worn now.

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah they aren't faded just well worn and a bit dirty

I knew there was a reason

not taking away my respect for their singular vision or the quality of the garments but, i do not understand the love for brands like Kapital, Mister Freedom, and Visvim.

Their collections season after season seem to be almost all statement pieces and if i wore more than one item at a time i would feel like i am in drag / costume

[neph93]

Not unpop for me. I appreciate the artistry and I especially appreciate Christophe’s Elvis/secret agent/GI schtick, it’s hysterical, but the clothes leave me cold.

There are some folks here that look great in it, but I’ll never be one of them.

@neph93:

This. Seriously, I just saw Mister Freedom's new collection in its own thread here and I simply don't get the hype behind this brand.

[UnTucked]

I too agree that some of the pieces are too costumey (Some are down-right ridiculous), but there are very nice single pieces throughout his clothing line that are absolutely amazing (Denim pea coats, CPOs, and much of the outerwear).

I do think he is starting to lose steam (And I was actually going to say that when I posted the new Sportman season on the MF brand thread, but chose to not sprinkle the negativity there)… His past 3 collections have been VERY uneventful... And he seems to be recycling many ideas/living off of the old glory of a few older designs.

*The "new collection" isn't really one of his new collections, but rather the new season for his Sportsman line (Less costumey "everyday clothing").
