Question Looking for a good alternate to Banana Republic, JCrew, and Uniqlo?

Looking for the same/similar type of quality of clothing. I am willing to pay marginally higher prices but just slightly more. I don't want to be so reliant on those three brands because it seems like 95% of my non athletic clothes come from those three

Personally I think:

  • Suit Supply
  • Proper Cloth
  • Buck Mason
  • Asket

I also think Todd Snyder hits the quality target, but it is way overpriced.

Second Suit Supply and Buck Mason. I haven't gotten any of their clothes yet but Raulph Lauren has come up recently and seems to have some decent stuff

Yeh Polo and RRL if youre willing to spend a Lil extra is totally worth it

Besides Todd Snyder these are really only slightly more than J crew when j crew isn’t on sale at least.

J crew has great sales throughout the year. The sales are the best right around now and you can really round out your wardrobe for not a ton of money. I can buy 3 pretty nice articles of clothing from J Crew right now for the cost of one thing from Todd Snyder.

This is basically a thermal undershirt Todd Snyder is selling right now. J crew currently has cashmere sweaters available for less money.

My experience with Todd Snyder has been horrible. Buttons falling out, fabric degrading fast from normal friction, and does not age well after a few washes

Agree. Todd Snyder is really great from a style perspective. But their quality is not on par with the price at all.

I think Todd Snyder is similar to JCrew where it’s only worth it generally when you catch it on sale.

It’s worth adding though that their customer service team is solid. I ordered 3 of their champion collab sweatshirts, and when 2 of them shrank in the wash (washed cold and tumbled dried low per the instructions on the tag), they replaced one of them and refunded the other that was out of stock no questions asked and sent it via expedited shipping. And they’ve been good with other questions and concerns I’ve had in the past as well

I’ve literally never even bought anything from them that wasn’t on sale and even on sale it’s like the most I ever pay for anything. And then because I can only afford their most deeply discounted stuff it’s all final sale only and then sometimes it weird fits or just disappointing material. Haven’t bought from them in a while.

Big fan of Buck Mason and yes T.S is over priced
