spend thousands of dollars to travel to a chrome hearts store in hopes that they have something you like in your size < go to a reputable source and pay a few hundred bucks over retail to get the exact piece I want
you can buy from them directly via email lol
@@euko7469they’re only doing silver rn
I love when people know what they're talking about when mentioning Chrome Hearts, it has become trendy in such a short time that it's hard to see someone that's interested about the designs and details and not just the flex
Great video! I mainly buy all my pieces online, going to the local chrome hearts store here in nyc was an amazing experience thanks for the recommendation. you just got a new subscriber
Nice, the West Village store is definitely one of my favorites!
Thanks for all the love on this video! Be sure to subscribe and check out the rest of the CH & fashion content on my channel ✨
Great video! (Might want to get a corona virus test)
Haha, thanks for the concern. I've actually had this annoying cough since way before covid.
@@dbaoTV no such thing as "just an annoying cough" there's always an underlying problem that causes these things, these are signs of a disease or just nervousness maybee a habit you have developed over the years when talking.

Great video Fam. I cannot agree with you more on how people should try to purchase directly from the stores. I was able to order my wedding band (floral cross ring with diamond in the center) via phone order from the NY store back in 2004. There are so many fakes out there and CH doesn't really authenticate their jewelry even if you take it to the stores to confirm. I also noticed that prices in Korea were a lot more expensive than in the US. I would say at least 15 20% more expensive.
I bought my first CH product in Las Vegas Cesar Palace it was a fluer de lis the consumer service was amazing not too pushy but was there when needed allowed me to compare with multiple products and allowed me to try on. The craftsmen ship of the store was amazing loved the atmosphere.
Thinking of going next month. Did the Vegas location have a good selection of stuff? Don't wanna buy anything from a third party but worried they'll barely have anything in store
Great informative video 👍🏽
Great Content bro 🔥 keep it up 🙌🏻
thanks for the advice!
Bought my first Chromes today at the LA location! So sick! 🔥 Great info bro 👍🏾
Nice, what did you get?
They still got hoodies?
@@boyishdog123 always
@@boyishdog123 Very limited make like 2 out and like 3 zip ups not worth going tho.
Maybe**
whats retail for chrome hearts puffer jackets and jeans
I wanna get a card holder I'm looking at one on Grailed but I'm scared they won't have it in store do you have any advice on purchasing leather goods like that ?
If you're close to one of the stores, just stop in. Even if they don't have the specific card holder you have in mind, they might have other designs that you might like better!
You can always call the stores and ask before going
How about buying second hand for silver ring ? Buy new or second ?
Will a long sleeve shirt fit true to size ?
So I know you said no questions about pricing, but do people normally sell items higher online than the purchase price in store? I saw a cool pair of eyeglasses online but I might go to the LA store to buy them instead.
As with anything online, it'll depend on the seller, but I've definitely seen some marked up.. not to mention a whole lot of fakes. If you're local to LA, I'd definitely check out the store to see the rest of the eyewear collection as well - you might end up liking a different pair instead!
don't buy online, buy only in store. literally online is 50% fake
@@DanielZar Yeah I know. I ended up buying a great pair at the LA store and they looked nothing like what was online. I also got to see Rich the Kid get clowned when he walked out of the store lol
@@alexward1428 wait why did he get clowned on? lmao. I was there like 3 weeks ago gunna was there. And you bought denim jeans ? Lowkey, how much did you pay? I didn't even ask if they had denim I only bought a bunch of tees
@@DanielZar The line clowned him because he makes Chrome Hearts corny i guess lol. Also, I uh dropped 2k on the glasses
Very Informative video man.. I love the matty boy collection I’m still trying to get a hoodie before winter is over lol.. Do I have to make a appointment with them or can I just stop in & purchase ?? I’m in NYC btw
Thanks! The West Village store looks like it's only open for appointments right now - the phone number is on their website, give them a call!
Ok cool & I hear the staff & overall experience can be a bit standoff-ish but it’s definitely worth a try. You gained a new sub thanks for replying back bro
FWIW the NY folks have always been super nice and helpful to me. Just don't walk in and be like "ayo you got them levis" and walk out if they say no lol. The little room in the back is where the shirts and hoodies are, but make sure you at least look around at everything else!
@@dbaoTV lmaoo I won’t I hate when ppl walk into stores & act obnoxious.. thanks for the info bro I appreciate it. I swear I
Just got the text from ups saying my package has been delivered (matty boy long sleeve) *cough cough* lol great start of the week for me 🔥🔥
If I show you a jacket can you tell me which jacket it is ?
Please help me I need found CH Drag king 1 this model worn for Bono u2,anyone know where?
I know you made this months ago but would you recommend stockx?
I 100% would NOT recommend StockX, or anywhere else that's trying to sell items for over retail. Especially for the tshirts, hoodies, and jewelry, they're all fairly well stocked in the stores these days.
What if I am 5,3 weigh like 130 should I get a small in the zip ups?
i was looking at chromehearts hoodie but it had a white ch on the bottom left instead of a black, is it a fake or does it depend on what hoodie
It depends on the item
One of my friends went to the store in Malibu and he said the customer service was garage, he said the employees were rude and weren’t really helpful when he asked them questions. How was your experience?
I've always had good experiences at the different locations, but part of it is how you approach going into one of the stores, or really any high end/luxury/etc shop (making a video on this soon!). FWIW I remember the Malibu location to be really small with limited selection, so part of it may just be that they didn't have much to offer anyway?
I’ve had both good and bad experiences. Some employees are rude, not sure why but they seem to act like they’re better than the customer. Most people I’ve interacted with have been nice and helpful tho
Same things in Paris
Even over 2 years later theyve still got shitty customer service at this loaction
hi, I have a couple of chrome heart shirts that my friend gave me before, but I don't know much about the chrome heart, asking if you can help me to check this out?
Not sure how much I'll be able to help, but feel free to message me on IG @dbao.style
why is the tiny e bracelet so expensive?
I live in Australia so I am no where near a CH store, what do you recommend I should do in order to purchase a legit CH product? I.e jewellery
Unfortunately it's a bit of a mess online right now, with fakes all over Grailed and whatnot. Your best bet may be to try finding physical stores that sell secondhand (eg Rinkan in Japan), although the prices are going to be pretty high that way.
@@dbaoTV what about stock x ? Dont they authenticate?
@@100SWAGS Even with their authentication process, the prices for the sorts of items that are on StockX (mostly shirts and hats) are not worth it at all IMO
there's a site called crownforeverla. it seems legit to me but im not 100% sure too
@@SCCON yes, crown forever is 100% legit
Is there a certain amount you need to spend before you get access to custom orders?
No there's no dollar threshold or anything. That said, I've been told that they aren't accepting any special orders right now.
You know what kind of retail prices are set for the earrings?
Unfortunately I don't; it's best to contact CH directly for pricing. Keep in mind that they usually price their earrings individually, not as a pair.
$230 ea earring for studs
I am 5ft8 and 156pounds and wondering what size to get for a T shirt? Small or medium?
They're a fairly slim fit, and do shrink, so depending on what you're going for either go with your usual size or size up
What is the price range for normal silver rings without anything special? Where are they starting?
I want to say that the absolute smallest/simplest ones start around $250, but don’t quote me on that!
What kind of hat is that?
Has anybody ever had any experience resizing a Chrome Hearts ring? Can it be done?
Really great videos one price. As can not find any info who much is a hoodie And jeans plz help me out thank you
If you're in the UK, I'd suggest going to Selfridge's in London or Manchester and getting pricing details from them
Jeans are £2000+,hoodies are usually £500+
Bro I’m 5’10 and I’m tryna get a chrome heart shirt. I usually wear a small but I want it to kinda look oversized just a little. Should I go small or medium? Will the medium be too big or will the small fit the oversized look I’m lookin for?
I would go for a medium - they're relatively slim cut
@@dbaoTV thx bro
Do the pieces go up in value or just hold?
Depends on the item - I'd say most jewelery and regular clothes dont because they're readily available in the stores, but certain things like the Levi's and collabs like the Drake CLB collection resell for higher
I was able get Horseshoe Sweater for 500$ off of Grailed. Think it’s a good deal for first cop ???
Assuming it's legit, that doesn't sound bad given the current market. That said, I personally don't think any CH hoodies are worth paying over retail for.
@@dbaoTV Yea it’s 100% Legit ! Thank you thought it was good price aswell he had work with cause it was little Higher.
What’s the retail for like a regular shirt?
Here for the answer
@@raetorrence6898 around 250, maybe around 220
I was planning on buying the zip up soon, does it run big? And by any chance do you know how much it is? Thanks! :)
450$
@@jullianleonard4413 it ended up being $606 for anyone else who needed that, thanks tho!
Interesting, seems like they've been constantly increasing the hoodie prices...
Does it run big ?
@@user-pr7gi1qo7u yes!!! i purchased a XL zip up and fits close to a 2X.
Do you need a appointment to get inside chrome hearts LA ? Because im going to LA in a month and if I don’t Is it better to make a appointment to not wait in a line ?
The website says that CHLA is open by appointment only right now, so definitely call to get one set up.
@@dbaoTV so they give you a private tour of the store ?
Not a private tour, they're just limiting the number of people inside at a time
@@dbaoTV I see i see
In the uk
Are the t shirts tru to size?
IMO the tshirts are on the slim side of TTS. I recently went up from L to XL to get a baggier fit.
How do the shirts fit are they TTS or oversized or run small
The newer shirts fit as a slim TTS. I personally now size up to XL in my short sleeves for a looser fit even after a wash, but stick to my TTS L in long sleeves.
@@dbaoTV Thanks & how do the sweaters fit
The hoodies and sweaters vary a lot more, unfortunately
Whats retail for the forever 6mm spacer ring?
I honestly don't know since I never bought one - you can try reaching out to CH directly for current pricing.
355
What’s the retail price for just an average CH trucker hat
I've heard that they've increased the price since I bought mine years ago, so it might be best to reach out to CH directly to see what the current price is
Do the hoodies fit true to size
It really depends on the hoodie, but lately they've been about TTS, or if anything slightly larger
@@dbaoTV ty appreciate it 🙏
is chrome hearts on stockx legit or a no go?
They do their own authentication, but honestly I don't think any of the items listed on StockX right now are worth the resale prices
How much are the rings tho cause I wanna know before I book the appointment
It really depends on the ring - they can range from about 200 to well over 1000 for silver, and then the prices skyrocket for gold and diamonds. If you have certain ones in mind then it's best to reach out to CH directly to ask the current price!
I just stopped by a chrome hearts today and picked up a ring for 300 after taxes, the ring prices change massively depending on the material, a ring that looked normal to me was 13000 dollars lol
@@youngmerc7717 damn 13000? Aye but what piece you cop tho?
Do you know where I can get their rings if I live in the UK?
Their only stockist or store is Selfridges who only sell their perfumes.
Are you sure they only sell their perfumes? Laurie Lynn Stark posted a picture recently of the London location and it looks pretty fully built out.
The CH website also lists the Manchester Selfridges store, which I figure must also carry more than just the perfumes
@@dbaoTV I've only seen online as the London location is shut down because of covid at the moment, I'll check in-store in case there anything once it reopens. Also, what would you expect a sterling ring to cost?
Yeah they only have the perfumes on Selfridge's site. As far as the rings go, I'd try contacting them directly for pricing.. you can find contact info on the CH website
Do the hoodies run big or small ??
See 06:44 - sizing has been all over the place over the years.. but lately they've been about TTS, if not slightly larger.
@@dbaoTV how tall r u?
5'10"
Huge I’m 5,10 for reference. I got an xl and it’s really long from the arms!
did u have covid here?
HA! My fiance started collecting Chrome hearts in the 90's!
Any idea on the retail on hats? In the us
It's best to contact CH directly for pricing, but I've seen them range from about $150 to over $2k. It really depends on which hat, what materials it has, etc
$240 for truckers
Is crown forever or feuile legit????
I've never bought from either, but I personally wouldn't pay their inflated prices
step 1: don't
like why would you ever need a 50 thousand dollar beanbag
I live in india,so will the authorised dealer will do world wide ship?? Or any dealer you can recommend
I'm not sure - it wouldn't hurt to reach out to the CH stores in Asia to see what they say though
Bro stfu u not buying no damn chrome hearts if u from India 😂
What’s retail price for just an average tee
About $165 for a short sleeve, and I think long sleeves are a little over $200.. you can always contact CH directly for more details
@@dbaoTV wow.... Prices have gone up a lot. I bought my black t shirt with cross on the chest at the LA store for 80 dollars back in 2008 or so. I did pay approximately 140 for CH Seoul t shirt in 2014.
I really wish I had gotten more of the sub-$100 shirts; they changed the blanks to be thinner when they raised prices some years ago, but I really prefer the older ones.
@@dbaoTV yeah I saw in your other video just now. I have to check out the newer style tees. Both of mine feel like Tees from Carhartt lol super thick and boxy.
Is the fit oversize ?
It depends on the item
@@dbaoTV does the zip ups fit oversized?
@@sickovicious_ zip up was pretty oversized on me (5’10 for reference) the West Hollywood location only had XL and it’s really long from the sleeves.
It’s all appointment only tho 😒it’s annoying
Fr I had to lie to get In 😫😫
👍🏻👍🏻
The video would have been A LOT better if you didn't make the video while you are sick.
They are both garbage in pricing, i can get minimal designs handmade for 1/4 of their prices... but too each their own. I dont hate them. Just not about to drop 5k for a necklace; but on the other hand if they make a design like they originally did "custom made" like a design i want or always envision than i would pay 5k gladly. If its not my design i dont want it really. They are sterling silver at the end of the day. I can buy one from like John Hardy than or James Avery lol
Coronaaaaaa
Bruh drink some water, why you coughing so much 😩
Don’t wear it it’s a stupid trend the end of video lol
It’s okay if you don’t understand the value. It’s a brand witch has been a round of decent amount of time with high quality products and marketing only reason we have a lowkey trend is cause of rappers.
@@zacharynotbroccoli9255 Ight bruh
its been around before your parents were born
@@kelvins111 does not justify wearing a t shirt with chrome hearts embroidered into it lmao it’s not fashion
@@TheGreg991 if you broke just say that 💀
Too much pretentious lip smacking.
chrome hearts the ugliest brand, looks like some emo kid's plastic crap
