Looking to buy a new winter jacket.
The last couple of down coats I've bought have been when I've been in china. You get a lot of bang for your buck.So the little down coat I have is a brand called BOSIDENG, so been checking out their shop on AliExpress.
Chinese clothing brands really annoy me with their crap english words that spoil their clothing. e.g theres a nice jacket with "DEMOCRACY - Free & Open" in large print on the back (kind of ironic seeing as it's china) anyway ....
I'd LOVE for them to use really nice tDR style thick fat chinese characters on their clothing. Even if it did say "DEMOCRACY - Free & Open", people in the UK would be non the wiser and would just think it looked cool.On my first trip to china I expected to come home with some really cool chinese typography on tshirts etc but sadly no.
Japan is different though, they embrace their own language a bit more and can appreaciate the cool as fuck tdr style typography.
- Some well-priced military parkas, M-51 and M-65 jackets out there, well under $100 bucks...robotron3k
- They had a store near Bond Street Station. Closed it due to Brexit, but opening up again.shapesalad
- shapesalad, the Bosideng stuff is well pricey over here though. Crazy prices! Over in china its just an average brand.microkorg
- Completely by coincidence the wife had been checking out the BOSIDENG (chinese) website and is on about getting her mum to buy a haul ....microkorg
- ... of stuff and bring it over when she comes in January. Means I have to wait a month or two for a nice coat but worth it.microkorg
- "Closed it due to Brexit, but opening up again." so, actually nothing to do with Brexit at all then?Nairn
