Anyone have experience with buying more expensive clothes on Ali? I really love the print on this shirt but am wary of dropping $60 on something that could potentially be trash. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32864667828.html

My mind wants to believe a goonette wants the shirt and looks like the model wearing it. Sadly I’m almost assuredly wrong.

I bought some moderate priced items (i.e. not cheap but not expensive), trousers and a jacket. It was a bit of a mixed experience: inevitably nothing looks as good as it does in the picture, fabric was thinner than you'd expect. Oddly, I thought I'd worked out sizing with the cheaper clothes (order two sizes up) but some of the more expensive items gave specific sizes (32 inch waist, 40 inch chest) which sometimes was accurate ... and sometimes not.

Aliexpress is a perfect example of a lemon market, especially for clothes. The pictures are all stock images, the sizing is dodgy, and there's a metric fuckton of idiots lining up to give good reviews to any hideous polyester abomination.

Take this shoe store. They know all the right words for quality (goodyear welt, calfskin etc etc.), and for all I know they're just as good as any high end American or European maker. Problem is, they're also in the same price range and there's no good reason to trust some rando Chinese brand over a well known British or American one I can go down to the high street to prod with my greasy fingers. Hell, they could on par with the real fancy poo poo that comes in at twice the price, there's just no way of knowing.



Probably not though.

That's going to leave the weirdest tan lines.

I wonder if the model always shaves his legs, or if it was just for the photoshoot? Looks fresh. Did they hire a white model only to discover he had Robin Williams levels of hairiness?

They seem very similar to ones I've used in an art class in the past. My partner says they are knockoffs of a famous brand but may have been made in the same factory or something. I'm not familiar enough with watercolor markers to know what brands are famous.

Yeah, the STA "brand" in the Staetdler font is a giveaway.

Those look really good! I might snag a set myself. I have such a weak spot for pens and pencils and stuff. Not the expensive kind, but point me toward a well-stocked stationery store and I am gone.

Yeah, I love them. There were other vendors where you pick your own colours but that seemed annoying so I got the 24 pack and am very happy.

They’re genuinely not even close to Copic quality and overall they’re unreliable and mix poorly.

That brand of them? Shame. I tested them all and did mixing to test as well. I was impressed but wasn't sure if they'd hold up. Unreliable makes sense, though. :smith:

Edit: I also use them to map out neuropharmacology diagrams, not to do illustration or real drawing, so I'm probably not the best tester or use case.

Went to get a pandora charm for mothers day. There was a line to get into the store. 15 minute wait, said if i wanted to wait ill buy it online.....




SO. for a tiny fraction of the price i ordered the same charm from aliexpress (And a few others and still had change). Choose a store thats been open for 4 years and good reviews, but when they arrive whats the best test to make sure it is real silver?

After being forced to watch watching the 1st 50 shades movie, my wife challenged me to buy a riding crop after a conversation related to the movie. None of the adult shops were open, and indeed the challenge was made. A week or 2 later, a riding crop turned up in the mail and as I'm told the postman had a very sardonic smile on his face, and gave her a wink when it was delivered. I regret not being able to see the look on her face.

Someone bought me a pandora bracelet a couple of years back, but I didn’t want to waste loads of money on their overpriced charms. Bought a whole bag of them off AE and they are pretty good quality. Pandora stuff is mostly cheap crap anyway, it’s worth pennies, they just stick it in loads of packaging to make it look exciting.
