Gen or Reps?
To be honest I can say that i have NEVER seen any good reps, most of them look like shit and they cant even get the buttons correct.

If you buy it from the **Forbidden Due to Legal Notice** website right before winter's about to end, they usually mark it down up to more than 40%. I bought a shell jacket for $220 ($500 MSRP)

Check FashionReps on reddit, look past all the hype kids and shit posts, and look up a seller called topstoney. He sells a few **Forbidden Due to Legal Notice** pieces on taobao which are pretty much as close as 1:1 you can get.

He currently only sells the down jackets and crew necks but I believe he’s working on producing more pieces.

Honestly, don't bother with the reps - they're all garbage and represent NOTHING about what makes the brand special. Here in Canada, SI is essentially unknown. I found a shop 2 years ago on Ali that sold reps, and turned me onto the brand. I bought a replica windbreaker that was the biggest POS ever and threw it in the garbage. The good news is: I ended up visiting the real **Forbidden Due to Legal Notice** website and have been semi-addicted to purchasing pieces ever since.

Do yourself a favour: Don't buy any reps of SI. The brand is about technical innovation, garment dying, special processes, etc. If you can't afford the real thing I'd honestly say don't bother with the brand. What's the point in buying a sweater with the SI badge on it, that has none of the innovations or design the "gen" sweater would actually have. Yes it's expensive, but I love that I look different walking down the street than almost everyone else. There's a piece for everyone, from really subdued stuff to the wild shit (that I'd never wear).

I agree. Never had the rep but I doubt anyone can replicate that kind of technology. It’s worth every penny.

And yes. End of season stuff is 40% off on the official website. Only issue is a lot of the desirable stuff sells out right after it drops.

Fully agree. Half the stuff I have from SI no rep could reproduce the garment dye or materials they use. Wearing my Shadow Project Silon jacket as I type this.

TopStoney on Taobao is said to have some good pieces. You may find reviews on FashionReps. I've ordered a Crewneck off him and can report after arrival.

Again, I wouldn't bother. I've had reps of SI and they feel nothing close to the real thing. This isn't gen 30k watches here, it's $200 for a gen jumper.

I'm sure they just slap a badge on a regular jumper on the rep

The thing I like about SI is that I don't have to layer up that much for the harsh Canadian winters, I'm sure @ZoomBoy here shares the same sentiment as I do.
