A thread for the JIL & RAF shopper (clothing and footwear inclusive, but please post sneaker sizing inquiries here)
Let's focus on aggregating useful / interesting information (present or historical) about the brands, e.g.
This is not at all to say that opinions don't belong in this thread - everyone is welcome to post reviews of particular products or collections, say - but when voicing a negative opinion, please, make an effort to contribute something new and interesting. Don't just proclaim 'Raf is dead' (who would be surprised to hear this?), support it with some bit of novel and factually-informed argumentation. And if you don't like a particular piece, don't just say 'that's hideous/boring' (anything will be considered hideous/boring by someone in a forum as large as this), tell us why you think so or point out inconspicuous details on the piece that might deter potential buyers.
This applies to everyone except, of course, jet.
In general though, information, not opinions, is what this thread is primarily about. It goes without saying, but if one truly has only negative things to say about the brands, one shouldn't post here at all.

Let's focus on aggregating useful / interesting information (present or historical) about the brands, e.g.
- stockists, new arrivals, sizing, good deals
- runway/magazine shots, new and old
- media coverage, designer interviews, critics' reviews
- pr0n/reviews of particular items of clothing/non-sneaker footwear that you own, that you're interested in and wonder where2kop, that you handled in person, etc.
- fit pics, of oneself or others, in RAF/JIL pieces
- random anecdotes and stories related to these brands
- etc.
