Alrighty folks,

Giving season may have come and gone but I'm keeping the spirit going with an absolute monster of a post:

ALL MY REP BUYS REVIEWED, RATED, AND COLLATED IN ONE MEGA POST. W2C AND QC+THOUGHTS FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDED.

All of you on here posting lists, QCs and reviews as well as the getting started guides helped me out big time, so it's only fair I give something back. Strap in, this is a big one.

There comes a time in a young repfam's life when they realise: Supreme? ASSC? OW? Bogos? Kinda cringe bro. That's why we're keeping it low key with most of the items in this haul. Quality brands, but more subtle flexes. That's the name of the game.

Hype streetwear here isn't a huge thing, not like EU or NA anyway, so having exact 1:1 reps isn't as important. Moreso what looks & feels good. The most common hype brands you'll see here are ASSC, Moschino and then lots of Nike/Adidas sneakers and Yeezy's.

Here's how it works:
I've given every item 3 scores out of 10; one for how they look, 1:1 status etc., one for how they actually feel to wear/use/own, and one for my overall satisfaction with the product. Each item except yupoo only has a WeGoBuy direct link, taobao W2C, and QC pics. Each item will also have a some quick thoughts from after receiving and using them for a while. The size & colours listed are as selected on taobao, not necessarily TTS. Measure yourselves people, it ain't hard.

^(Note: for transparency, the WeGoBuy link to items contains a referral code. You can use it to pretty much go straight to the agent phase, but if you don't want to use a referral code, just use the taobao W2C link as normal.)

You know the drill. Let's get into it.

​

🥼 Jackets/Coats 🥼

Palace Reverso Sherpa Jacket // ¥155.00 // $25.34 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: XL // Colour: Red Wine
Looks : 8/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 8/10

Thoughts:
Has the common LA flaw on the red side, but really it's not that noticeable. Unless you're hugging a Palace employee nobody will give a shit. Doesn't matter at all if you wear it fleece side out (which I probably will a bunch considering it doesn't get that cold down here). Other than that, feels reasonably nice and fits well on me, just a tad bit oversized which is how I like it. NOTE: I used my own measurements and chose according to the listed size specs, not the height/weight chart which is incredibly wack in my opinion. I usually wear retail M, so getting an XL seemed ridiculous but I trusted the measurements and it worked. Proceed with caution.

Prada Men's Long Coat // ¥400 // $60.89 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: XL // Colour: black
Looks : 8/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 8.5/10

Thoughts:
Rare Weidian GP alert. Super hot winter/office/formal lowkey flex. I love the minimalism on this piece, just the one button clip in the center. It's not actually a clip of any kind, just has a metal button behind it if you want it done up in the middle. No actual Prada badging or anything on the inside, so you're probably more keen on this just for the aesthetics if you're buying this (does come in a Prada plastic bag at the very least). Sizes aren't particularly accommodating though, I got an XL which is perfect on me, it works as a long coat but the sleeves are the right length. Big dudes might need to pass up on this one.

Canada Goose Expedition Jacket // ¥850.00 // $128.21 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (OOS) // QC)

Size: S // Colour: Black
Looks : 7/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 8.5/10

Thoughts:
Bought this to take overseas to face the European winter (will only get use in the colder parts of winter down here unfortunately). The quality on this is really nice. Badge looks pretty decent; island is good, badge text is good, but leaves are maybe a bit on the chunky side. More experienced CG afficionado might be able to chime in on that. The text on the "EXPEDITION" patch on the back is a tad bit wonky, but not noticeably, especially while wearing (hood can even cover it). Jacket kept me toasty during 0°C weather in Germany & Amsterdam, so I'm definitely fine with the down quality. Survived rain and high winds too. Tipsy bloke on NYE in Cologne complimented me on the jacket too so imma ride that high for a month or two.

Carhartt WIP Corduroy Jacket // ¥150.00 // $22.84 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: Khaki
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 8/10

Thoughts:
TRADIE MODE ACTIVATED. This is a cool retro looking jacket. Materials are really nice, including the wool linings. Everyone down here seems to needs a denim or corduroy jacket with wool in winter, so this is an essential cop. Logo on the patch and inside has the updated logo with curvy R's, not 100% sure whether this is correct but who tf is calling out Carhartt?

🧥 Hoodies/Crewnecks 🧥

Acne Studios Sweater // ¥160.00 // $24.14 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (OOS) // QC)

Size: M // Colour: White
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 8.5/10

Thoughts:
Clean and simple Acne sweater. Looks really good w/ a neat casual outfit; some black chinos and boots etc. Probably paid more for this than I would have liked, but whatever. Patch looks good, stitching is still holding up ok for the most part. Blank quality is good, but not spectacular. Would still cop again.

Champion Hoodie // ¥78.00 // $11.77 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: Yellow
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 4/10 // Overall: 5/10

Thoughts:
The sizing on this is WACK. Definitely not TTS. Bought M, it's so small it rides up on me and even exposes my chest sometimes. As much as my 6 pack is ripped af, I like my hoodies baggier so this doesn't get worn anymore really. Might buy another one since I like the quality, but if you're gonna grab this, I'd size up big time.

Palace 17FW Section Hoodie // ¥168.00 // $25.34 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: matching green
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Love this hoodie. Gets me out of wearing black and white gear. Feels good, fits well, no logo flaws. Colour scheme is fire too. Only weird thing is that the pockets are like way back on the side? Not very deep either. Don't have retail so can't really comment on this but you can't really stick your hand in your pockets for this one. Checkmate social anxiety.

Palm Angels Flannel Hooded Long Sleeve 19FW // ¥249.00 // $37.56 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: Yellow
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Hi everyone, Repthony Reviewtano here. This is a dope piece, especially for that cool but not cold type weather. It surprised me because it's actually REALLY thick and heavy. No seriously, it weighed more than 1000g in the warehouse. Feels more like a jacket than a hoodie/long sleeve "shirt" (which is what the marketing experts at PA actually call it). Good for layering, has buttons to button it up. Hood is a bit of a useless addition, but looks cool depending on your style. Definitely a good cop, just expect it to be a thicc boy.

Kenzo Tiger Crewneck // ¥180.00 // $27.15 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (OOS) // QC)

Size: M // Colour: black+blue
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 7/10 // Overall: 8.5/10

Thoughts:
Damn this is fire. Hard to put together an outfit that looks really good with it, but I'd suggest going pretty plain as it's definitely eye catching. Stitching is super nice quality, and I can't see anything on it that looks off. Blank quality is reasonable, feels a bit stiff to wear because of the stitching not being flexible (who would have guessed?). Still, definitely a dope piece.

Cav Empt Card 17 Crewneck // ¥238.00 // $35.90 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: Royal
Looks : 7/10 // Feel: 7/10 // Overall: 7/10

Thoughts:
GP'd this one from a rando seller. Reverse image search is a goldmine for Cav Empt gear on TB. Graphics are pretty on point for this one, and the rubber badge on the side is really nice. Embroidered sleeve is also very good. Unfortunately it does vary a bit from retail as the colour is kinda off and the neck band/waist band are a different blue from the torso/sleeves. Sizing is kinda strange too, sleeves are super long. You can always bunch them up tho. Sucks that they nailed the hard parts then fucked it on the final landing. For a GP, definitely a W tho.

Lacoste LIVE Rainbow Striped Crewneck // ¥210.00 // $29.87 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (DEAD) // QC)

Size: XL // Colour: white
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
DAMN this is a cool piece. Very retro, slight cream tinge. Real Kodak film vibes. Won't work for bigger guys tho, following the sizing I needed an XL and I'm not even 6 foot so basically a manlet. Check your measurements carefully before ordering. Definitely worth tho.

👕 Tees/Long Sleeves 👕

A$AP x Guess striped Tee // ¥110.00 // $16.60 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: Red (red)
Looks : STAPLE/10 // Feel: STAPLE/10 // Overall: 10/10

Thoughts:
Repfam staple. Reviewed to hell. Y'allready know and probably have this piece. Little bit big but not overly, if you're thinking of sizing up, don't.

Guess Jeans Vertical Striped Tee // ¥102.00 // $18.27 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: Vintage green vertical stripes
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
After copping the A$AP collab in my first haul, I had to come back for more in the second. Vintage vibes, this shirt goes so hard with some brown chinos. Good fit n' feel, stitching quality is maybe slightly worse than the A$AP tee, but not bad by any means. Unionkingdom knows their shit.

Golf Wang Multi-colour 3D Tee // ¥49.00 // $7.46 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: XL // Colour: T-348-White
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Pay attention to the size guide and you'll do fine. Measure twice, rep once. Quality is good, I got an XL which is slightly long but fits nicely otherwise. Only question is why is this store called "COCKBURST"? Standard tee, everyone should have one of these by now, great price point. Not much else to say, this is gonna be a long post anyway. Congrats on the grammy Tyler.

Givenchy Rainbow Logo Tee // ¥215.00 // $32.73 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: 190533 Black
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Staple piece. Embroidery is as on point as it gets, and printed text is flawless too. Some of the colours on the stitching are slightly off compared to retail, notably the light blue segments, but this is so minimal it's barely worth mentioning. Pricier as far as tees go, but material is a nice, stretchy/silky type material. Wearing this piece as I type, AMA.

Polo Ralph Lauren Standard Tee // ¥45.00 // $6.85 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: navy blue
Looks : 7/10 // Feel: 7/10 // Overall: 7/10

Thoughts:
Standard tee. Mainly wear this one around the house, under other pieces or if I'm just running errands. Logo isn't fantastic but is still decent. Nothing to bust a nut about, but very solid addition to any budget haul at $7.

Palace 18SS Neon Striped Tee // ¥75.00 // $11.42 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: L // Colour: black
Looks : 2/10 // Feel: 5/10 // Overall: 3/10

Thoughts:
WOW this was disappointing. Stitching quality on the logo was very obviously bad, even from the 144p QC photos. Bought after service photos hoping it was just the lighting. Nope, still garbage. Poorly aligned, LA is awful, loose threads... just generally terrible. Still wanted to ship my haul so just chucked it in anyway because life's too short to bitch about 10 bucks for a return. Material is also pretty terrible when it got here. The blue stripes are translucent (can be seen through if light is behind them) and stitching looks even worse in person. Plus I kinda hate the colour now, no idea when - if ever - I'll wear this. Might become a cat blanket.

Palace Tri-smudge Long Sleeve // ¥99.00 // $14.94 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: white
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 7/10 // Overall: 8/10

Thoughts:
Dope price for a dope piece. The neck hole is a bit wacky and tight compared to regular shirts, but pretty standard for skatewear. Not much else to say really, graphics look fine to me. Colours are maybe a tad faded, but it's been washed a bunch so that's probably natural. No complaints for 15 bucks.

Cav Empt Your Business Long Sleeve // ¥108.00 // $16.29 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: black
Looks : 8.5/10 // Feel: 6/10 // Overall: 7/10

Thoughts:
Another reverse image search GP. Y'all are just worth it. Everything looks pretty real to me, it's a super busy piece too so not easy to call out (not that anyone even knows CE here down under). Graphics are ironed on though. Haven't peeled or flaked or anything, but you do tend to stick to plastic chairs and shit if it gets warm (lol).

Cav Empt TTT Fictional Long Sleeve // ¥138.00 // $21.01 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (OOS) // QC)

Size: S // Colour: white
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Might as well put me in a cage and have me run in a tiny wheel because I can't stop GP'ing CE gear. This one is by far my favourite too. Graphics are spot on, I love the different sleeves and is quite long fitting. No real complaints here, crazy good street piece.

Off-White "CHECK SHIRT" Quote Flannel // ¥399.00 // $44.95 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: Wine Red
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 8/10

Thoughts:
OK, I lied. Even a non-hype haul is allowed a little Off-White (as a treat). But it's a way more subtle piece anyway so save it for the jury. The quality on this piece is actually really nice. The black and white striping inside the button area is really legit feeling, and all the text is properly spelt, aligned, yada yada. Fits really well too, I prefer to wear it as an outerwear piece over a tee or something else instead of as a long sleeve by itself, but it's in this category since it's technically a longsleeve. Whatever you say Virgil! Probably a little too expensive though. $50 is hefty, maybe shop around a bit but this is good as a non-budget version.

Polo Ralph Lauren Dress Shirt // ¥89.00 // $13.43 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: Navy
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 6/10 // Overall: 7.5/10

Thoughts:
Everyone's gotta have some formal flexes. This is a little thicker material than your standard dress shirt, so definitely not made from Oxford Fabric or anything like that I'm fairly certain. Still a niece piece, very wearable, and embroidered logo/tags are on point. Solid cop for business repfam.

Palace 18SS Maxo Relaxo Shirt // ¥78.00 // $11.88 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: L // Colour: Picture Colour 2 (Blue/pink/light blue)
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9.5/10

Thoughts:
Damn I'm riding this retro wave like a surfer. This is a super cool summer piece, catch me in this one sippin pints down at the local RSL. Material is lightweight and silky, graphics are flawless and the cursive stitching looks A-OK. Not much to fault on this one, even the buttons have "PALACE" engraved into them properly. Probably go TTS though, size up one if you want it long for whatever reason.

Moncler Polo Shirt // ¥73.00 // $11.12 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: 180/92A XL // Colour: white
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Guaranteed to get you in bed with that horse girl down at the country club. Looks like a polo shirt, feels like a polo shirt. Moncler patch logo is good as far as I can tell, but I'm sure someone is gonna ask for in hands just to tell me the M is 2.3 degrees misaligned. $250 bucks saved is worth it any day of the week.

Stone Island Stretch Pique Tipped Polo // ¥125.00 // $19.03 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: L // Colour: white
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9/10

Thoughts:
Material is thin and stretchy as the name suggests (the bit where it says "stretch"). Haven't tried on a retail, so can't vouch for accuracy but feels nice to me. Don't normally fw a lot of the plain Stone Island stuff, but damn it looks good on a polo. Logo quality is perfect too, very solid cop. White variant goes harder than black, don't @ me.

Fred Perry Twin Tipped Polo Shirt // ¥128.00 // $19.49 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: L // Colour: black double yellow wheat ears
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9.5/10

Thoughts:
POLO SZN IN FULL SWING. Wanted the black one with gold highlights, so originally bought "golden" like a moron going off WeGoBuy colour guides not taobao. Ended up with a bright yellow shirt. Seller was chill though, and facilitated an exchange for the black/double yellow one I actually wanted. Lots of colour variants, so use taobao pictures to get the right colour. Very nice quality, thicker polo material and all logos and tags look flawless. Literally wouldn't be able to tell this from retail. Except for the fact it smelt funny when it got here. Wash it.

Lacoste x Golf le Fleur Long Sleeve Polo // ¥145.00 // $22.38 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (DEAD) // QC)

Size: L // Colour: pink
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 8.5/10

Thoughts:
We rock pink now on Wednesdays. Bought this with the matching shorts from the same seller. Not sure why this link is dead but the other isn't but c'est la vie. Pretty sure I bought L because M was OOS at the time, and it worked out for the better because fits great (slightly baggy/oversized). Can be worn solo or over the top of another tee. GolfCroc is also not garbage looking so big ups on that one. Pastel aesthetic tumblr blogs are quaking rn.

👖 Pants 👖

Fear of God Essentials Sweatpants (Tracksuit Pants) // ¥98.00 // $14.79 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: XL // Colour: Jujube Red Apricot
Looks : 7/10 // Feel: 6/10 // Overall: 6.5/10

Thoughts:
Partially gotta blame myself for this one, but these are too long. Tried to follow my own measurements but clearly I stuffed it somewhere. They're a little too baggy because of the length, so don't get worn super often. Too bad because they match great with the Palace Reverso red colour. Material wise it's fine, few loose threads to cut off. It's beaten by the other trackies down below, however. Stay tuned...

Nike Tech Fleece Sweatpants (Tracksuit Pants) // ¥90.00 // $13.58 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: Dark Grey
Looks : 10/10 // Feel: 9/10 // Overall: 9.5/10

Thoughts:
Damn these are so good for the price. Literal must-have repfam staple. Not too thick, inner lining materially literally feels like wearing pyjama pants. To the point where I feel weird wearing them in public sometimes. No flaws as far as I can tell, decently big pockets, well worth the price and then some. Only beaten by the Fendi trackies imo.

Fendi Bug Eyes Sweatpants (Tracksuit Pants) // ¥185.00 // $26.85 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (DEAD) // QC)

Size: M // Colour: Navy
Looks : 9/10 // Feel: 1000/10 // Overall: 9.99/10

Thoughts:
Goddamn I am so disappointed that that this link is dead. These are far and away the comfiest track pants I reckon I've ever worn. The inside is lined with a soft, smooth material that just feels so damn nice. The kinda stuff they make dressing gowns out of, but not furry. The longer I've had them, I've started to become less enthused by the actual eye prints, but this might just be because I love the quality so much. The drawstrings are super nice too, woven properly with metal tips. If this was still up I would be recommending this to every dude and their dog.

KITH Monroe Destroyed Denim Jeans // ¥240.00 // $36.20 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: 30 (S) // Colour: Blue (Gold Button)
Looks : 8/10 // Feel: 6/10 // Overall: 7/10

Thoughts:
These are a little long for me, and the waist is kinda loose. Skinny boy problems. I cuff the bottoms and wear with a belt (more on this later), which helps a lot. Looks are good, just lowkey wish they fit better. Won't be a problem with bigger fellas (big boy szn when?). All I gotta do is stop sticking my damn foot through the holes when putting them on, you idiot.

Fear of God Distressed Selvedge Denim Jeans // ¥240.00 // $36.20 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C (OOS) // QC)

Size: 32 // Colour: gray
Looks : 6/10 // Feel: 3/10 // Overall: 5/10

Thoughts:
This was a little disappointing. Was tossing up whether or not to keep these in the haul, and now kinda wish I didn't. WAY too long and a bit loose around the waist, even cuffed they still are too damn long. And I still haven't figured out a way to get the denim belt to work in a fit, it just seems awkward in person. The quality of the denim is actually ok, but some of the holes seem a bit different to retail. Unless you're super keen on this piece, probably skip. If you are, measure carefully. They nailed the lenticular tag though which is cool.

Golf Wang Bee Shorts // ¥49.00 // $7.46 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: S // Colour: blue
Looks : 6/10 // Feel: 7/10 // Overall: 7/10

Thoughts:
Can't help but feel like I got a little unlucky with this one. Bee pattern (randomised on retail, dw) for me is cut off across the middle seam on both front and back. Only got a couple of proper, full bees on it. Doesn't make it non-legit looking, but just kinda disappointing. Didn't realise until actually receiving it so didn't RL. Still, fits well with an elastic waistband, and material is fine enough. Good price at least.

Fear of God Fifth Collection Floral Shorts // ¥69.00 (nice) // $10.51 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: Apricot apricot flower
Looks : 6/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 7/10

Thoughts:
Northern folk might be freezing, but down under summer is in so floral is on. These are pretty dope shorts, especially if you go plain on top and cop some sneakers. Slightly flawed, pretty sure waistband is meant to be black on this variant, but that's covered by shirts usually anyway. You might care more about this if you're that one dude who tucks their shirt into shorts (wth man?). No tags or branding on the inside either, so not 1:1 in any regard. They're pretty heavy feeling too (400g), but they have metal zippers on the side like retail. Long long FOG drawstrings.

Lacoste x Golf le Fleur Jersey Shorts // ¥138.00 // $20.86 USD

(WeGoBuy // W2C // QC)

Size: M // Colour: pink
Looks : 8/10 // Feel: 8/10 // Overall: 8/10

Thoughts:
Matching shorts to the shirt. Came from the same seller. The material is quite thick compared to normal shorts, so probably best not to wear in the 40 degree whether. That's 104 in freedom units btw. Croc isn't horrible either, very small either way.
