i love dana lee, probably on par with OL. i have that cotton / cashmere sweat and it's proper nice, but i still think OL have a better fit. comparable quality.

If you like the 50s Great Sweat depends on your body and personal liking. I like the fit, short and somehow boxy. But not everyone is a fan of that.

I also really like the Great Sweats because there is a big variety of colours instead of plain and boring black, grey and navy.
The collar lays on my shirts, whoever brought that arguement in has the wrong size. However there are of course great sweatshirts from other brands as well. I think Reigning Champ has pretty good quality.

OL brings much needed boring basic pieces? Every brand should have good basics. And if you dont want them to be basic buy the exclusive stuff like this year's splash collection.

And for NP in sweatshirts...the Sigfred Knit is excellent and has a clasic sweatshirt fit but is a knit. Other than that this seasons sweatshirts were awkward. Tried them physically Eye-wink

OL to me seems like uniqlo for people who want to spend more money.

Really? Can’t see that. OL is all about the fabrics and typically scandinavian minimal to me with a few outlandish prints thrown in.

@rural, wasn't an insult man. I'm just saying they're good quality basics, but basics are basics.

not true, OL quality can be really shit at times. own a few shirts and had buttons falling off. the stitching work isnt great for the price too.

however i think they do make some nice minimalistic stuff

Buying plain white/blue etc OL shirts and sweats is foolish unless on sale. The patterned/embroidered shirts and tailoring are worth it in my experience.

As above. Gucci loafers look nice though. Don't know if I can put my feet in already worn shoes though.
