this is just out of curiousitiy....(which killed the cat :haha:)

just curious how people determine a brand is over played?

[muteki]

When you see everyone wearing it I suppose. o_O

[nosleepboy87]

well..u dont c everyone in affliction or g-star.....
but some people claim they r overplayed
or even rock&republic or christian audiger....right?

[CRS]

When you see it at boysco.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

When you see it at boysco.

werd:haha::haha:

[unit]

when you find a brand at a mainstream store, its played.

[RacePace]

rock&republic

I really don't think you can overplay jeans

[hal0g0dv2]

nothing is overplayed

[3xta]

When you see it at boysco.

the truth...

[Iceman_2K]

when you see a high school kid wear it.

[nosleepboy87]

When you see it at boysco.

very well said.....all i see in that store is a hugo boss tee with a big hugo boss logo on it.....how sad?:cry:

[nabs]

who cares, whatever you feel looks good on you. i could hardly care about changing trends.

[[ jay ]]

when you see a high school kid wear it.

I think it's actually the opposite, it's when you see OLD people wear it.

[RacePace]

^little bit of both

[3xta]

I think something is played, when you see someone that doesn't really have a sense of fashion, but suddenly start wearing it just to fit in.

[ShanghaiKid]

when you see a obese little kid(middle school age) who begged their mother to buy them a 200$ CA shirt and rocking it along with his fakeass DG sunglasses out in public (true story)

[mos_skeeto]

I think something is played, when you see someone that doesn't really have a sense of fashion, but suddenly start wearing it just to fit in.

hey thats pretty damn good

[ZhangFei]

I would say a brand is overplayed when you're bored of seeing it. It lost its effect. But its a personal thing. But fashion comes and goes all the time like the mufukin wind. What was cool today is not cool yesterday. Then what was cool yesterday ends up being cool again.

[winson604]

well..u dont c everyone in affliction or g-star.....
but some people claim they r overplayed
or even rock&republic or christian audiger....right?

oh nono. Keep you eyes open and you will surely notice that affliction, CA, Rocks and shiet are everywhere. Not as much anymore cause some people have smartened up and moved on but I still see them everywhere I go.

[jurson]

When you see it at boysco.

LOL +1 for Chris

[BlackZRoadster]

So by your guys definition "levi's is overplayed?

[unit]

levis has withstood the test of time... if CA, or RR is around for 100 years then you dont call it overplayed, you call it a classic

[ajei]

probably when you have to come on the internet and ask about it being played out

[nosleepboy87]

i fink levis will be around when we r grandpas

[boipinoi604]

so what's cool 2days ago will be cool today

they are always the classic denim for all ages..it fits everyone!

i dont understand this whole boysco over played thing, i bought a pair of nudie jeans there yesterday and i have not seen anyone wear them so far ( they are great jeans and also good price not like 400 for rock republic) where are u going to get stuff that boysco has, everyone on this site is a fuking poser because i am sure they have shopped at boysco for there ed hardy or rr jeans or there tr jeans. and let say they did not shop at boysco they got it from a diff store then that means that store is overplayed. people here are just pissed off that everyone has the same eh or ch shirt or tr jeans, who gives a fuck, if your like it rock it.

there pretty goos jeans eh, weird about the washing process, when i got my evisu jeans they did not have that on the jeans about the washing and do not wash stuff

[3xta]

i washed mine, and they shrunk like a bitch, and then i dried them in the dryer (stupid me, i shouldn't have) but i hate the smell if i dont dry them and now thier all wierd and stuff. I had to wash them to bring them to holts to hem.

[0ne-mofo]

Do you guys know what you're suppose to do with nudie jeans? you're suppose to like wear them out for like 6 months and then wash them.

[POPTRUNK]

thats a tough one. Cold wash no dry boys. cold wash no dry...

[hal0g0dv2]

Do you guys know what you're suppose to do with nudie jeans? you're suppose to like wear them out for like 6 months and then wash them.
dont wash them for 6 months and you will get sweet lines and they like fit to you. if u find they smell which they might, put them in the fridge or freezer for an hour and they will be fine, try not to wash them tho

[Meowjin]

when people wearing said item talk about how much money they have.

at the end of the day, you buy nice clothes because you care about what certain people think, so what ppl say does kinda matter. if you were the only one left on the planet would you still care to look good? probably not..

Its played when you look like shit in it. You could spend a thousand dollars on jeans that are so fresh they actually came from the future and have built in lead lining because in the future Canada is a radio-active wasteland but people still buy Armani, but if it looks bad on you, then its played like hammer pants.

However, if you've got style and swerve and are popping fresh all the time, you could wear five-year-old GAP khakis and the only shit people could talk about it is that they are covered in stains from all the pussy that rubs up on them.

then every brand is played out?
becuz i fink i have seen a fake of everything u can possibly name in CHINA
EVEN LEVIS

nudies are by no means considered GOOD raw denim... great as starter jeans... and in defense of brands like R&R, etc... there are those who rock it just because they think it's cool... and those who really appreciate R&R (aka collectors)

[hotjoint]

When you see it at boysco.


100% agree

[shawn79]

when you see 7/10 teenagers highschooler wearing something simliar it = automatically played out (mullets 90's, XL baggy clothes 1998-01, kappa 2002-03, puma 2004-06, 2007/2008 CA Ed hardy soon to be dom rebel)

Nudie makes great raw denim. I dunno wtf you're talking about. Not everyone cares about the Japan repro train. I personally think that the fit of most Skull, Samurai, Flathead, etc is horrid.

I owned a pair of Nudie SJ's and didn't really mind em. I'm thinking about purchasing some APC raws soon.

dom rebel wont be that played casue it has a limited amount of stock. only about 100 of each shirt in each province

[3xta]

dom rebel wont be that played casue it has a limited amount of stock. only about 100 of each shirt in each province

thATS quite a lot, if you think about it. There are like over 30 designs, that's already 3000 shirts in BC. The only stores that carry it are the 4 different boys cos, and maybe a couple in holt renfrew.

[hal0g0dv2]

hopefully someone buys there whole stock so no one will have the same shirt

[BlackZRoadster]

Boss is overplayed too i guess since boy's co carries it

[nosleepboy87]

depends which line of hugo boss...their t-shirts and jackets with a big hugo boss logo on it is just way overplayed
but they still make one of the best suits

[BlackZRoadster]

its impossible to say a brand is overplayed by one of their lines and say their other stuff is not overplayed. Keep in mind boys'co did carry boss suits, im not sure now.

harry rosen carries juicy and JL stuff that can be found in boys'co, so i guess lot of the stuff at harry rosen is overplayed too

ppl say CA is overplayed, so they tie in smet and hardy as overplayed. You cant say CA tshirts are overplayed and say their board shorts arent overplayed and so on...

[b.vu]

thATS quite a lot, if you think about it. There are like over 30 designs, that's already 3000 shirts in BC. The only stores that carry it are the 4 different boys cos, and maybe a couple in holt renfrew.

but have you ever worn a dom rebel shirt, walk on the streets and see someone with the exact same shirt at the same time?
plus the hoodies are comming in soon. and with like what, 100 in bc? :D

[nosleepboy87]

wello.....at lot of once so called "high end luxury retail stores" such as harry rosen and holt renfrew are starting to carry more mainstream brands now. they moved away from just carrying designer label.

i startd wearing dom rebel back in 2005, before of all the craziness.

[beanzzz]

when the new dom rebel collection was released i raided every boys co and bought almost every shirt they had in a size small. ;p i think the only reason why its become so popular these past few months is because their current collection somewhat resembles Christian Audigier and Ed Hardy (skulls, busy design, etc.). it might become overplayed but i don`t see it becoming a brand that is going to die anytime soon, considering their designs change quite a bit from collection to collection and as b.vu stated, it is sold in limited quantities and is only available a few times a year.

i startd wearing dom rebel back in 2005, before of all the craziness.

i just found out about the brand about a year ago, since then i`ve been spending my time searching eBay, forums and facebook for shirts from their older collections.

dusault is starting to look good too.

[6insomnia9]

Who cares what is over played or what not, wear whatever you think looks good on you.

[btran]

clothes that are considered played out is just clothes that are expensive and people buy to show off their wealth

[Marco911]

Brands that gain widespread acceptance by the lower to middle-class and where the clothes are sourced from third world countries.

[Moratorium]

Marco's description is more or less accurate. I'd say there are a couple brands that have stood the test of time and are generally respected despite who wears them. Nike, Adidas, Levis come to mind. Another thing with a brand like nike is that it has its hands in a lot of different sub cultures: Shox, SB dunks, Trainers, Basketball shoes etc.

I guess a sure fire way of telling when something is overplayed is when imitations start popping up everywhere.

EG: The fake ed hardy hats at night market, and I saw an old chinese man wearing a bathing fape tee.

[n1smo]

smet and ca is overplayed you see all these fucking white boys rocking that and lb's thinking their all thug

[CorneringArtist]

Saw it on the first page and it's STILL true: fat kids in high school wearing that CA shit. My school has a few of those kids.

Also, overplayed when ghetto fake versions of CA, etc. come out from places like Stitches or other stores where teens shop.

[ToveriII]

when old men wear premium denim or even branded apparel such as CA, SMET, rock&republic

[hawkman]

LOL I saw some guy in his 50's and he was sporting True Religions, I felt so embarassed cause I was wearing true religions at the same time haha

[achiam]

I think you can tell a brand is overplayed, especially in Vancouver, when you see it being sported by kids at Metrotown.

To my credit, I once rocked Club Monaco and collected their sweaters in at least 6 colors. I suppose the word Monaco evoked feelings of luxury and grandeur.

[ajei]

companies like lacoste, polo, adidas, nike will never be overplayed...they've established their brand image. In the case of lacoste...polo etc...you'll see younger people wearing it to follow a trend...like a rapper wearing a polo, or the whole pink polo, flipped collar thing...but they'll never be played out...they've been around too long. Nike and adidas ... they're first function is for sports, not fashion...even if pieces are modified and worn as a trend and overplayed...it will always come back to being a reliable sports brand.

[Splmash]

Anything by Christian Audigier. That Dussault, TapOut and Affliction crap too.

[j1mmyi3]

ed hardy....and CA

[[ jay ]]

Basically any type of clothing that is "flashy" or gets attention gets played out real fast.

[gnu5]

its played out when u see a group of kids wear the same shit walking around in the mall together.....

[ilvtofu]

anything that is cheap and not worn by fobs isn't overplayed... ie. urban outfitters, american apparel, but honestly none of their stuff at least for mens is very impressive...

[vbshawn]

some time people overpay

[staysupreme]

When brown people wear it

[canuckfan72]

You know a brand is played out when you see an entire asian family at a park or any public space wearing the same brand. American Eagle, Hollister, Abercrombie, Aeropostale (really popular cause its cheap) you know its true!!!

[ilvtofu]

When brown people wear it

...he's got a point, more like brown younger people, or the ones that just haven't grown up

[SuperSlowSS]

when vancouver people wear it

[iEatClams]

Here's some stuff that will NEVER be played out:

Hugo Boss - - - the hugo boss stuff you find at Harry Rosen or the Hugo Boss store, and not boys sco, although there many be some similar items.
Versace, Gucci, Chanel, etc etc - - the nice elegant stuff. not the stuff that the kids wear.



Georgio Armani - -- not armani exchange

GAP, old, navy, BR - -this shiet will be around for ages
Levi's
Nike, Addidas, umbro, reebok - sports stuff cause we all need it.
A&E, Abercrombie - when it's in every US mall, it's gonna be around forever.


i think it comes down to the individual. some people can pull it off. . . many cant!
example: white surfer dude can wear Hollister, quicksilver, and look totally normal. But same dude tries to wear ed hardy and he might look weird.

another ex: Rich looking dude in lambo wears hugo boss suit, can pull it off.
cant pull it off: poor asian with toyota corolla rice rocket with Dolce & Gabanna white-t's trying to look hardcore - -- -

like iphone (if you consider it a fashion statement),, my grandma has one, my aunt has one, my aunt's daughter has one , heck even my neighbor's son has one. And their dog probably has one too.

[spccard]

its overplayed when like you see one person heres wearing two religion then the next person is also wear true religion and if u see the next person wearing true religion then u no its over played brands that are like that are gstar for girls coach bags and somewhat dussault be4 in my opinion dussault will faed away in a couple of years and no1 will wear it kinda like kappa

[j2oxstar]

define your own style and don't worry too much on brands, having style is making an outfit from sears look good

start getting inspiration from magazines like inventory

shop at roden gray.
