Wait still you stop growing. I've stopped growing, I'm about to be 20, so I can just get things I know I'm gonna wear as long as they last. Maybe it's a large upfront cost but believe me, it does pay off.
I can vouch for Kin. Had some of their stuffs for a while now, and they're really great. Don't really count on them if you're looking for water resistance material though.

I got the Kin Supplies Ares jacket in grey second hand a while back. It comes with cool features like a double zipper and a jacket sling too. I really like the look of it and for the price I paid, the quality is pretty good too!
I've literally been watching your videos over the past like two/three years man. Thank you for posting more brands that no one has heard of because I'm running through all the link right now trying to see if there is something I want to buy or something that I can recommend to other people. I want to see you in some GoopiMADE stuff though, you're like tall and skinny so it would be interesting to see the fit on you. I've noticed that even some of the cropped pants I get are still down to my bloody ankles or like touching my shoe. It's been a journey for sure - so much so that I was thinking of starting my own channel and grabbing some of the stuff that I know you haven't talked about yet and reviewing them on my own. I would obviously still point people in your direction like I do now just for the sake of having someone deep in the scene educate folks far better than I could.

It's funny, because these brands like Acronym and Nike are literally doing exactly what you described the drop-shippers as. They make cheap-to-produce clothing, market it as ground-breaking tech, slap their logo on it, and mark it up. The cost to make AND SHIP INTERNATIONALLY a pair of Nike sneakers is $28.50, and they retail anywhere from $50 to $120, resold in the hundreds to thousands of dollars secondhand for some sneakers. But everyone's just chill with it because "Nike". Similarly, the average down coat costs $40 per-unit. They are literally pre-made, shipped to brand factories like Patagonia, where they are then branded and sold. That $1k Acronym jacket everyone wants? Probably costs about $100-$150 max, and that's being generous. People need to be more open minded. No matter where you go, you're overpaying for cheap products. These businesses are often less egregious than the big corporations everyone simps for.
I mean, the "holy grail" of techwear, the ACG Alpine, says "All Condition Gear" on it which is just as much cringe to someone that's not a part of the techwear bubble.
I still definitely want to see your reaction to some of the high end techwear reps on taobao. Because some of them are scary good and I'd love to see your input there.
I'd like to recommend you Nosucism. This brand has by far the best quality I can find on Taobao, and I've been buying techwear on Taobao for two years.
The drop-shippers were definitely a good start but now that i am balls deep in i threw all that stuff out, these are defintely better alternatives Was wondering if you'd do some content on Rosen X, discovered that brand recently through some redditers on the techwear sub and have some pieces on the way.

What is your experience with the fits on the big sizes. I'll typically where xl-XXL us sized stuff and everytime I try and order from these Asian retailers their XXL is like a M in US sizing lol.
if they don't go bigger, you are typically shit out of luck. Like you mentioned, they follow a more asian body guide. You'll have to venture with brands like Rosen and Enfin Leve that have more asian inspired pieces but also offer custom alterations.

But even if it's cheaper than dropshipping, it's still garbage clothes according to your older video. Other than this point, appreciate the list.
I did mention this in the video - you do have to be careful shopping on Taobao/AliExpress because of the risk of exactly what happened in that September video and what you receive not matching the images. There are loads of individual sellers on those platforms and not all of them will be selling the 'real' versions of things. This is also true of drop-shippers though - there were some comments from that video saying that they purchased from a drop-shipper and received what I did, but paid a far higher price
