What's the big deal with those Superdry jackets

ongarboy

I notice every second guy seems to be wearing a Superdry jacket (at least all those who work in the IFSC in Dublin!:)). It's not the hipster or fashionista types who are wearing them but your more blokey average joe types who don't generally look like slave to fashion or brand types.

Just curious as to what the appeal is as there is just something very samey and non descript about the jackets imo. Is it the branding on the back or something else that is making them so popular?

What is a superdry jacket? I havent noticed any.

Birneybau

Sheep-erdry. Campus wear.

The Pheasant2

I've noticed people wearing them since 2010! You only noticed now?

jimgoose

Maybe they're light, reasonably-priced and yet protective and reasonably waterproof? In other words, just about ideal for living and working in an Irish city! :pac:

Overpriced shíte. I was bought two of their tshirts as a present and I'm ashamed to say I have worn them.
However each one cost 50 quid, seriously, I have t shirts from Penneys I weare more and they cost a fiver.

Wossack

they're uniformly in fashion, yet allow a degree of personality in the colour of the stitching. Thus allowing the less confident dresser fit in, yet still have the feeling of standing out

I don't know what a superdry jacket is but most clothing is fairly non-descript and boring. There are 7 billion people in the world. It's not easy to be different.

The more zips that your jacket has the better you are at drifting!

Its fairly easy to be different if you really want to be in Dublin and by extension the rest of the country. We're a very sheepish people when it comes to clothes.

The more collars you have on your jacket the better you are at drifting

A friend bought one for the sole reason that they were waterproof. I had to tell her, that was just the name.

Aye. Sometimes I run around with my mickey out, 'cos I'm a horse of a man, I am. :cool:

They are the North Face of the Teenies.

Mint Sauce

Just a new style and brand thats growing in popularity. Nearly everyone was wearing North Face at one point, and they too have the branding on the back as well.

Have a number of tees, hoodies, and jackets by both my self.

They're usually followed by a beard, a Hitler haircut and a smug punchable face.

Not really. Average blokes usually wear them.

hatrickpatrick

They're surprisingly warm in cold weather, yet won't have you sweating when it's hot outside.

Am I the only one that always imagines SUPAH DRIY being said in a comic Bruce Lee voice?

eviltimeban

I had one of those jackets, I got mine in 2008 (and sorry for the hipster-ism inherent in the next part of the sentence) before they took off (they were never "cool").

As soon as every average bloke with bootcut jeans bought one that was the end of that. Every where I looked guys were wearing them, it was like something out of a nightmare (cue a close up face laughing manically and the "Superdry" logo filling the screen).

I had to stop wearing it.

I never wore it again.

I was free.

They're nice, but I wouldn't wear their clothing on a night out.

Interesting. I always think of SuperFly..the movie.

They're just functional jackets and as such, at least they're being honest about their abdication from caring.

Unlike, it must be said, the overwhelming majority of people that labour under the unfortunate conceit that they look somehow different to the multitude of other 'individuals'.

eviltimeban

Their check shirts are alright, I don't own any but they look OK. The t shirts though aren't good, the logo is just too big. And its not Japanese, so why pretend it is?

whisky_galore

A clothing brand featuring gibberish in Japanese.

Ye pretty much this, they're just a brand that got kinda popular. I think because they're asian inspired makes them quite popular as well.
