A video explaining what brands you use yourself and why or which brands you would buy at different price points for the best quality to price would be an interesting video to me
Watching your channel has made me realize that there's so much more to designing a garment than I had initially perceived. Thanks for all the quality content!
I think you correctly nailed Vuori's appeal. Fabrics normally used in workout gear made into more "formal" clothes. The pants have pockets and zippers and look like nice stylish regular pants.
I love Vuori, specifically the joggers, which come in long and short lengths even. Worn them for years, long before they showed up on social media. I can attest to the fabric holding shape and not pilling even after multiple years and many, many wears. 😅 My only hope is that they continue to produce the same level of quality. Because they were made so well, I haven’t had to repurchase over and over, so it’s possible that will slowly degrade over time, because of, ya know, greed. Fingers crossed!
I have about 7 vuori pieces (not these pants) and I think they really are an investment. They still look brand new after more than 2 years, I wear the 3 pants every wash cycle and dry on low. I haven’t had any pilling or misshaping or fading. And the ends of the ties are still perfect. They are way more than I usually spend but some were a gift and the rest were on clearance. I highly recommend. Excited to hear your take 😀
I don’t care for leggings but I’m glad that the very first brand I advocated for review is already coming up! I love Vuori! I hope your review doesn’t crush my opinion lol
@@oxoelfoxo I don’t wear leggings of course haha but and it’s a simple piece so I’d say yeah, it fit around where I gauged. I’m glad it scored higher than Gym Shark and certainly higher than alo.
Please review Muji and Vince! I work at Vince (LA quiet luxury brand) and recommend our Pima cotton shirts, silk blouses and plush funnel neck cashmere sweaters 🙂
Def do vuori's strato tech tee for men. They are their best sellers for tees. I never knew that clothing could be this comfortable. This discovery led me to learn more about textiles and your channel was recommended to me! I would love it if you had videos to discuss fabrics - specifically elastane. I may be a noob, but I'm noticing a pattern with this material being so damn comfy.
I really love the knowledge passed on in this channel ! It does shade lights on so many things difficult otherwise to access if you’re not part of the trade. Thanks a lot 😀 If you could do James Perse Tees it would be great, I’d love to see your analysis on these.
As someone who started seriously working out earlier this year I appreciate you reviewing this brand! My shoulders are now too broad for any other T-shirt that fits *except* vuori. My wardrobe now consists mostly of their shirts 😅
Maybe if this question was asked 3 years ago... They grew to manufacturing in four countries and several factors and have highly variable quality. They got VC'd.
Vuori Strato tech tee or a product from one of their signature "Dreamknit" lines. Vuori also gained a lot of attention for their Sunday Performance joggers. Joe, would love to see you break down other Vuori products such as the ones mentioned above. Thanks for the informative and interesting channel to help us be more informed with our purchase decisions!
Interesting. I actually love Vuori more than lululemon aligns. I find that the material of the vuori leggings gets less linty than lululemon. No issues with the waistband yet and I've worn mine quite a lot during pilates.
I bought a pair of vuori joggers 3 years ago and wore them almost everyday for my two pregnancies. Best purchase ever made. I’m short 5’1” and their cuff length is just right for me. I don’t own any Lu Lu lemon cus I’m poor.
I’d like to see some wear tests with how the garment stands up to a wash before cutting them up. I’ve watched quite a few of these video’s and it’s getting a little repetitive. I think because as a regular consumer I don’t care how many pieces it takes to make the garment. I want to know if it shrinks, twists, pills when washed. Also if worn during exercise, do they hold up? Just a few suggestions from me.
I thank the algorithm gods for bringing me across your channel. We're all so lucky that you're willing to share your insight with us. Please consider reviewing a Buck Mason t-shirt, such as their Toughknit line.
So far, in my opinion: I’ve been liking Vuori’s clothes so much better than Lululemon. I haven’t tried their(Vuori’s) leggings, yet. But, that is the next thing to try. However, I’ve been loving Vuori’s sports bras a long with their joggers. I feel that lululemon is literally going down their drain as far as quality and I haven’t been all that impressed with them lately and the associates in my nearest location have been rude. Therefore, Vuori is my new “go to” place.
I wonder if you could talk more about the manufacturing cost vs sale price? I don’t really know anything about pricing, and I’m guessing if it was egregiously disproportionate you’d mention it, but hearing it costs $7 to manufacture something so expensive makes me a little annoyed at the company haha. I imagine there are lots of other people along the way that have to be paid and it’s probably a more reasonable price than it seems, but I don’t know a lot about those steps.
I’d be interested to know if Varley Doublesoft pieces are well-constructed and likely to keep their shape & if Doublesoft is a unique fabric that is worthy of the price tag
Hi, I have watched many of your breakdown videos, really educative and cool at the same time. On another note, can you make the breakdown of the clothes (may be 1 legging and 1 man pants?)from the brand “Fabletics”. They had many big celebrities as their brand ambassador such as Kevin Hart. Hopefully will see you break those down soon. Peace✌️
Bingo words I was not expecting on UA-cam today. Camel toe. 😆 Fascinating details about design. I will never look at garments the same way ever again. Also when it comes to cost, I have a better idea of why something costs more now and why.
I feel like my issue with Vuori is one of the things people like about it: the fabric is so soft that it feels like I'm wearing pj's out of the house. Add to that, I don't have air conditioning, and I can't imagine wearing their ultra-cozy clothes in the middle of July.
Can you please please review oner active, specifically the effortless seamless and unified leggings. I bought leggings from them and they fit so well but I heard they use bad materials
Would you be able to expand on whether it would cost the brand more to have a wider range of sizes? i.e. Whether it's justified to have the XL-XXXL sizes pay more than the XS-L?
Would you guys do a video going through the design, manufacturing decisions that go into making womenswear vs menswear? Conversely, what makes for something to be “unisex”? If a brand puts out an item that’s available for both their men and women department/lines, what tends to be the adjustments if any that they make? Seems more common for Asian brands (E.g. Uniqlo) to show both a male and female model modelling the same item on the item’s e-commerce page. Also, would you guys take a look at Muji? There seems to be a narrative that it’s just a branded markup (I know, the irony) on generic manufactured goods without any real input from Muji to justify the markup. That one could buy the same item from the factory source at a fraction of the price Muji charges. Curious if there is something that Muji does add. Thirdly, maybe a video looking at garments manufactured in the past via something made today with perhaps the current typical standards and materials? Are the old stuff really made better? Has tech and manufacturing made that much of a progress in terms of making better clothes? Or just more cheaper, throwaway clothes? 12:47 Lastly any chance you guys may be able to get hold of a macro camera lens (or even just a cellphone macro) for segments like this to more closely show what’s being pointed out? Or perhaps even a microscopic view if that’s relevant to the point. Thank you for the videos! Fascinating stuff!
What are some good sources for fabrics?? Looking to make my own one off pieces/samples but not sure where to find good quality fabrics. Hard to tell with websites.
Next product suggestion, not a mainstream brand but has a cult following. Would love to see analysis on Outlier products, any of their pants or shirts. My top companies for performance textile selection is arcteryx, lululemon, and outlier.
Do you mind reviewing a South African clothing brand “MaXhosa” or “GalXboy”?(please). The owner of MaXhosa claims they use different techniques for their clothing that’s why it’s so expensive
I tried vouri leggings but found them too sheer, could see panty lines. To me this makes both the product and person look cheap and trashy. Plus knowing the waist band can start to break down after 10 washes (so like two-ish months for me if I use them weekly), that's very poor return on investment. I've been using lululemon for 18 years (!) and never had either issue. I still have the first shirt I ever bought when I was 16 years old, and still use it frequently. I wish the quality from those days would come back.
By subcompany, do you mean that you think Vuori is owned by Lululemon or that they make an inferior product to Lululemon? If it’s the former you can “think” what ever you want, but facts are facts and Vuori is not owned in any way, shape or form by Lululemon. If you mean the latter, well that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to think that.
Myanmar is not popular anymore because of the political situation. Cambodia has limited capacity so Vietnam, Indonesia, or increasingly Bangladesh or more popular for new investment.
I’ve been wearing my lululemon leggings for years. Just the other day, I had to throw out my 1-year old vuori leggings after the stitches started to come out 💀 They are poorly made
Why do you take the trouble to go into so much detail and then always fail to include the volumes necessary to achieve the production cost you estimate… your estimate is almost worthless without giving a volume number. Please do an episode on what impacts MOQs and how they vary depending on manufacturer and item.
A video explaining what brands you use yourself and why or which brands you would buy at different price points for the best quality to price would be an interesting video to me
I think Joe said on Shift's IG that this is a planned series!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ponto and Coronado line. I also have the Seaside Hoodie and its a beast.
Hey, I think you would benefit from macro lens or a super close up. When you talked about bar tacks I wanted to look up close. Cheers 🎉
Interested in the Buck Mason T shirt breakdown as well
yes
I don’t care for leggings but I’m glad that the very first brand I advocated for review is already coming up! I love Vuori! I hope your review doesn’t crush my opinion lol
did it? not sure what your expectation was

Yessssss! Now please do Men's Vuori Meta pant vs Lululemon ABC pant please and thank you!
abc video has been done. tldr it's an excellent pant.
Please review Muji and Vince! I work at Vince (LA quiet luxury brand) and recommend our Pima cotton shirts, silk blouses and plush funnel neck cashmere sweaters 🙂

Agreed. Especially since James Perse is like THE tee to end them all. The pinnacle of t-shirts, if you will.

🤯🤯🤯 the reason for the gusset. Learning so much from your videos. Thank you.
would love to see a discount brand vs a high end brand product comparison
Please do Lady White Co. Rugby T-shirt! Heaviest shirt I've ever owned. I think they're made in the US too
Maybe if this question was asked 3 years ago... They grew to manufacturing in four countries and several factors and have highly variable quality. They got VC'd.
Ooof. That is so frustrating
WIP Carhartt vs Carhartt hoodie! Let's see difference between them!
Can you do a review on the Robert Barakeett Tee!? I’d love to know your thoughts on them.
Vuori Strato tech tee or a product from one of their signature "Dreamknit" lines. Vuori also gained a lot of attention for their Sunday Performance joggers.
Joe, would love to see you break down other Vuori products such as the ones mentioned above. Thanks for the informative and interesting channel to help us be more informed with our purchase decisions!
Great video, can't wait to begin working with you guys once I start my brand .

What are the comparable brands that feel like Vouri at a different price point! I must know lol
There at the same price point as Lululemon. You can get Lululemon at “we made too much “ section for good discount price.
Hey, what brand t-shirt are you wearing? It looks high quality

My new bag from cicishops feels luxurious without being flashy. A perfect addition!
I would love to know if the Spanx Air Essentials wide leg pants and quarter zip are as good as people say they are.
Great content, could you review Casablanca ?
Can you review the new State and Liberty joggers?

Which are the brands you think are better for activewear/comfortable loungewear?
Id like to know what you think of the men’s brand ASRV.

Uniqlo wide fit chinos or wide fit pleated plants sometime!
Love the videos
Simple answer: NO, because Lululemon offers WAY more sizes than Vuori. Would love if Vuori made my size.
The way lululemon fits is dreamy and always forgiving - Vuori not so much
Arcteryx Atom LT
Or the Patagonia Nano Air. Maybe even together so we can see the differences

Plastic. Go for more natural fiber. Why? Plastic breaks down to microfiber
Another over priced crap.
Pronounced "vee-aw-ree"
i think pill test would have been good to see
Yes it would have been. Vuori leggings are known to pill in some styles.
Why do you take the trouble to go into so much detail and then always fail to include the volumes necessary to achieve the production cost you estimate… your estimate is almost worthless without giving a volume number.
