I have recently gotten into great shape due to having some things holding me back for a time - so I am only now starting to wear the clothes that I bought on sale on french connection in 2023 and they looks great.

Like for example I wear the long line t-shirt on with some nice jeans and shoes and I get so many positive looks from people.

You can't even find clothes that look like that anymore tbh and everything that i bought off of there really fits well and suits me.

Unison isn't quite the same as FC, not even close IMO. Boring colours.

    Ok I will play the game.

    What brand are the nice jeans you are referring to?

    You can't even find clothes that look like that anymore

    Like what? Clothes out of 2023?

    I had some fcuk jeans during the height of asos’ market domination in Australia and honestly they were average at best and never went back.

    Also, which Seiko Coutura to round out the ‘fit?

      The jeans that I wore are actually a brand that's popular in europe, not fcuk

      Nah you need is a Tag Heuer se/l to round out that look.

      Bonus points if you Paired it with some Jordache Jeans and draped in Coolwater

        Wearing expensive watches, is anyone concerned about getting rolled?

        • coffeeinmyveins on 28/04/2025 - 10:03

          that tag and the cortura are not expensive watches.

      I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a Coutura that isn't a total wank tank.

    Feel this way about G-Star

    • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 26/04/2025 - 21:35

      G-Star is still available to buy though - especially online

      • Trying2SaveABuck on 27/04/2025 - 08:11

    • Cheaplikethebird on 27/04/2025 - 14:42

    Mate you are probably tall and nice looking

    You'd be getting the same looks in Levis and a uniqlo t-shirt lol

      I am fit, tall and nice looking, but the t-shirt actually looks really nice and is different to whats on the market now

    I genuinely thought the only reason people cared about this brand was because FCUK.

      I do not miss my teen era of thinking I was edgy for having 'fcuk' on my t-shirt

  • dtc on 26/04/2025 - 20:12

    I have an FC t shirt that is probably about 20 years old, still holding its shape and still being worn. Nice thick fabric.

    It's probably your Seiko Coutura watch.

      I never ended up buying one - i might purchase a more classy looking watch instead to complement my FC t-shirt

  • Lastchancetosee on 27/04/2025 - 07:45

    My daughter ran the David Jones concession for FCUK for a number of years and there were a few excellent products, mainly for men, especially the chinos, t-shirts, and many shirts made from quality natural materials. Since changing ownership, the standards have dropped. Sportscraft is still a good quality option, but dearer.

    Umm no, didn't know they went under/pulled out here….. But explains the lack of seeing the FCUK branding.

  • tenpercent on 27/04/2025 - 10:53

    I only just found out that The French Connection brand is no more.
    So that's a "No" from me.

  • tenpercent on 27/04/2025 - 11:08

    Still Wearing FCUK

    Coming out of my shell
    And I've been looking just fine
    Gotta gotta be stylish
    Because I want it all
    It started out with nice jeans
    How did it end up like this?
    It was only a brand, it was only a brand
    Now I'm being so vain
    And the brand is calling a cab
    While the trend is having a smoke
    And the style is taking a drag
    Now it's going to bed
    And my wardrobe is sick
    And it's all in my head
    But I'm touching my shirt now
    It's still got the logo now
    Let me go
    And I just can't look, it's killing me
    To say good bye

    Fashion tees, making me more appealing
    Swimming through positive looks
    Choking on the label oh my
    But it's just the price I pay
    Vanity is calling me
    Open up your eager eyes
    'Cause I'm still wearing FCUK
