Supreme vs. Essentials: which one to grab first if you're new to streetwear?

Essentials Fear of God is the easier entry: clean seasonal colours, forgiving relaxed fits, and a price point that makes the first purchase feel low-risk. Supreme rewards the deeper collector: box logo pieces and collab drops carry cultural weight but sizing is often US-centric and runs slim. Start with Essentials for versatility, move to Supreme when you know which drop you want specifically.

How does streetwear sizing run for Indian body types?

Most US streetwear labels (Supreme, Essentials, Travis Scott merch) size large relative to Indian sizing conventions. Indian buyers with a 40-inch chest who wear an Indian L typically land in a US M or S in oversized-fit pieces, or a US XS in slim-cut pieces. For the intentional oversized silhouette most streetwear is designed around, size up one from your fitted T-shirt size. Check the per-product fit note on each card.

Screen-printed graphics vs. embroidered logos: which holds up better over time?

Screen prints hold colour well for 50 to 100 washes if washed inside-out in cold water; high-coverage prints on dark bases are most vulnerable to cracking. Embroidered logos (CDG Play heart, BAPE ape head) are structurally more durable but can distort if ironed directly on the embroidery. For archive pieces you want to preserve, cold wash, hang dry, and store flat.
