i get some stuff from express online or Gilt.

you can get some really good prices for sales but you need to know your size well or you'll have to send things back

yeah for that reason it might not be a good idea to buy shoes on the net but other than that it should be alright. i usually get my stuff from asos or yesstyle (bargain prices!)

Yeah, sizing is the only thing you have to worry about.  Shirts are the easiest thing to order since they're pretty FORGIVING in size.  Most sites will give you their sizing charts with actual measurements, figure out what their measurements are and then take clothes that already fit you and measure them to see what sizes you need.  I'm about to order shoes online for the first time, what I did was find sites that give sizing conversion charts by brand and I took shoes that already fit, converted them to the UK size, then converted that size back to the US size in the brand I'm buying.  May not be that accurate, but we'll find out if it worked when I get them.

But yeah mostly just find their sizing charts for BEST RESULTS.

dude i love ordering clothes online. you can get some sweet deals with coupons and promo codes and stuff.

http://www.yesstyle.com

^the only site you will ever need^
i love yesstyle. the sizes are reliable and a chart is provided with measurements to help you pick what you need. a downside might be that there's a lot of items that just have a standard size, but most of those fit me anyway so i never had a problem with it. the site is good because you can browse by brand, country, style, etc... it's all asian brands, so there's some unique clothes there.
my brother's girlfriend and i share an account, and we've bought so much stuff that we are like gold members or whatever, so we get a 10% discount on our entire order :X hehehe. there's lots of funny engrish things on there, too, which are interesting (http://www.yesstyle.com/en/beccgirl-oversized-t-shirt/info.html/pid.1022464950).

yesstyle has some ok stuff for guys (especially like the more simple and basic stuff) but it can be pretty hard to find. i got a pretty dope scarf there for like $10 or something.

then again i do kind of do kinda dress like a hipsterfag sometimes :/

What is the best site to order custom designed T-shirts from? Cafepress? Wordans? We're in Canada. My friend and I have decided to only wear T-Shirts that we've designed for each other. We're looking for: a) not going to fall apart after two washes, b) not outrageously expensive.

I saw this post as was like, OOH!  something interesting that I didn't know about.  But then I saw that mkkmypet posted it so I ignored it because I'm not a 12 year old.

I feel as if though that would just become dumb and tacky very quickly.

Why?  I see so many people walking around with embarrassing phrases, Tapout, or Ed Hardy desgns on their shirts all day.  It would be pretty hard to create a shirt dumber or tackier than what's already mainstream.

just because something is "mainstream" doesn't mean that it is any less tacky.

We fully intend for it to be dumb / tacky, but does it really matter? I refuse to buy jeans that are more than $30 and I can't name more than three brands of clothes. We do not care.

Any recommends for sites?

(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/farm4.static.flickr.com/3619/3298615338_7420f51103.jpeg)

Interestingly enough, the two places I typically get stuff from are both independent companies based in San Francisco. Which I live in now, but never shop in. Main point here is that going to stores is a waste of time.

also, it might be less effeminate to wear some of the women's clothes on yesstyle than the "men's".

edit: that imagination site is crazy awesome. I'm definitely gonna get a shirt from there, although it's hard to pick which one. The simpler designs are without question the way to go. I'm diggin the einstein one or the one with the dude exhaling a universe.

you don't have to spend a lot to look decent.  I don't see why you would choose or be okay with something that clearly doesn't look good?
Title: ordering clothes from internet!?!?
Post by: Vellfire on May 06, 2010, 06:18:36 pm
yeah man i've gotten tons of good clothes dirt cheap from places like marshalls or tjmaxx or whatever other bullshit discount stores, you can definitely buy nice clothes cheap you just have to shop at the right places

i have no problem with goofy shirts or w/e but i don't see what price has to do with it, fuck you'd probably be spending more on custom shirts than you would on a nice shirt at a discount store

Okay, it's not like I'm going to throw out everything I own to just wear custom clothes as some sort of statement. It's intended to be goofy and dumb. I have no idea what looks good, tbh, and I never have. I don't really care. It doesn't really affect you in any way.

I don't know what Marshalls or Tjmaxx are, but that's not really the point anyway.

These be the stores. And yeah, I live in SF. Not technically, but I work there, and thus basically live there. I chill about a 15 minute drive from the city tho.

I agree that it has a ballin' atmosphere. Very social, and accepting. Tons of stuff to do too.

I actually moved there from Madison, WI back in November for work.

they are stores that sell clothing for decently priced.  Also thrifting if you know what you are doing is a fantastic way of getting really good stuff for dirt cheap.  If you don't know what you're doing though, then you're just going to end up looking awful though, which chances are you already do if you don't care.

I usually buy things in stores, but I've considered ordering a few clothes on-line from overseas.  And yes, we have Value Village/Savers here- didn't know it was a thrift store until I looked it up. I usually go to my own,  neighborhood thrift store quite often, though I haven't bought much clothing there lately.

Farmrush, honestly, the best thing would be to get some iron-on transfer paper and print your designs on it- remember to print them out backwards, as the design will be pressed to the cloth- and then simply transfer them to a couple of t-shirts from the craft store. It's simple, fairly inexpensive, and you're guaranteed to be the only ones with the designs because you make them yourself!

Man, don't do this, this looks TERRIBLE.  I know you're expecting something tacky but at least get something tacky that's professionally done.  Even half of those free shirt websites can't do this right, but iron-on transfers are about as bad as it gets.

iron transfers tend to last about 5 runs through the wash too.  And they look terrible the whole time.
