that graphic is bad. Looks like American Eagle.
I find that graphic awful and inapropriate for EG as well.
It is a production of Inada Studio, which previously deed some supporting production for Nepenthes (video, merchandasing, stuff like that). Really surprised that Daiki chose this output as a theme for seasons collection. To me it looks like amateur level designs (especially typography).
Maybe we know more when a press release for that season will be awailable. Maybe mass market brands is seasonal inspiration this time))

Y’all trippin. They’re on hoodies and t-shirts. Like... EG has always put out these types of goofy prints on tees. I don’t like them so I don’t buy them but it’s not like EG is slapping this **** on the back of a Bedford or highland parka.

And the designs are good for what they are—vintage outdoors inspired 1 colors (which is very common). I don’t see how it’s amateurish.

I'm confused, If you don't like these and don't buy them, aren't you agreeing with us? I won't pretend to have a design background but these just look bad. We're just discussing a new collection, are we not allowed to express likes & dislikes?

I’m excited for the SS green ground pants, one of the floral BDs and the olive 4oz Bedford.

Nope, I dont like them because I think pricing for designer graphic tees are stupid. I don’t agree with you that the designs are bad—I think they’re good designs. If EG priced the tees at $25 would I buy ‘em? Yup.

The graphics remind you of American Eagle because they’re both inspired by vintage outdoorsy advertising. AE has been doing it for much longer than EG, i mean, AE was one of the original leisure outdoor outfitter brands mass marketed.

And that’s why it’s good design—the EG graphics are taken from inspiration of older design trends, just like the rest of the EG line. Befitting of what EG does.

It’s leisure wear with graphics designed by Daiki’s friend ( they go surfing together ). It’s not a huge part of the EG line, considering the images are coming from Inada’s instagram, so they’re gonna show off their work.

There wasn’t at any point tht I said you shouldn’t express your dislikes—I was addressing why these types of graphic prints are in the EG line and why they aren’t “bad”

I can confirm the Barbour x EG collection is made in England.

Also, Angelo said he can't sell it (in the appt), as it's being sold from Barbour.

Pricing is pretty expensive.
