    I actually haven't heard that story before haha, but it's quite popular in Australia from what I've heard. I put this in the same category as Fabrixquare but less worse

      AllSaints territory perhaps? Fabrixquare is in the same realm as ioffer. Allsaints is like Zara but better.

            Designs look better sometimes? I think they tend to last longer/use better materials (even if barely). I have friends that like their AS stuff (denim jacket, sneakers... I guess the sole is pretty good, heard nothing about the leathers though). Zara stuff feels lower in quality, especially the footwear. Stuff also shrinks like crazy in the wash. I had a Zara viscose tee that shrank at least an entire size in the dryer. I don't own any AS though so I can't directly compare (I've only felt a few items).

              http://instagram.com/claudemaus judge for yourself, there are plenty of people that think Claude Maus is ''original'' and that Claude Maus comes up with these ideas/designs.

                I think you are comparing one rotten apple to another, one might look slightly better from some angle but they are both garbage.

                  A good start would maybe be, if you stopped putting your viscose tees in the dryer. In there, Viscose will always shrink. It's always good also, to simply follow the garments care instructions, often to be found on care-tags inside the garment.

                    As a college student I don't have time or space to lay out my viscose tees. Anyhow, I noticed minimal shrinkage from my American Apparel ones, so there's something to say from that. I do hang dry my pants and outerwear though.

                    Honestly if I get a Rick tee though, I can never see myself going to the dry cleaners for that. I'd probably figure out how to hang dry it somehow though.

                    Both are overpriced sure, and both steal designs, but I still say AS is better. That might purely be because of the higher price point though. I think AS uses Raf/CP soles (one or the other, can't remember).

                      I've machine washed every one of my rick tees without any problem, but thats kind beside the point..

                      I'm not talking about price or quality of some details. Both make soulless, cheaply made, unoriginal highstreet crap. Allsaints is like an "edgy" Abercrombie and Fitch.

                        All these guys do is rip off SZ WAYWTs - they've been doing it for years, a well known fact.

                              Isn't this the best place to talk about such brands though? After all, this is the WTF thread.

                              Anyhow, I've derailed this thread enough. I'm going to stop with that.

                                I hope these reviews were fake-produced, otherwise... ugh.
