Hip Hop Urban Clothes Online: Where to Buy Fresh Gear?

Most of us looking for fresh urban apparel at bargain basement prices, usually search around Ebay.com for the latest pair of Jordans or Bape shirt or whatever is hot at the moment. Although, I have got some good and cheap things of Ebay, there is always the chance, especially with hip hop gear that you are going to buy a fake.

If you’ve searched for any clothing brands on Ebay than you already know that there is a ton of knock-offs from China being sold on the site and that nothing is really being done to stop this. So what is the savvy consumer to do? Buy direct.

In preparation for this article, I found almost every popular brand with the ability to buy online. The benefit of buying direct is three fold:

• You get the real product and not some cheap quality knock-off that is going to fall apart after one wash (that’s provided you wash your clothes).
• Many companies offer huge online discounts as much as 50% off. Since, they save money not having to pay for a retail store’s overhead, they pass the savings on to you.
• You buy from a reputable company that is not going to rip you off and that will usually have customer friendly return policies. Although, Ebay does have good policies in place to protect buyers, it’s really hard sometimes to get a refund from a guy selling fake Rocawear shirts in Hong Kong.

Before buying keep in mind shipping & handling costs as they do differ for each site and/or item. However, I have found that S&H on clothing has become more cheaper in recent years and overall you’ll get a better price online than at the store. Also, always pay with a credit card or your Paypal account.

Here are a few of the top websites to get hip hop related fashions from.

Rocawear.com
In my humble opinion, Rocawear has gotten way better than it used to be. I remember when it first came out the designs were very basic, usually just the Rocwear logo stitched into a t-shirt. Today the line has not only expanded its Men’s division, but has developed its Women’s line, Children’s line, accessories and watches’ lines tremendously.

The Rocwear website is easy to use, and the prices are very competitive with retail stores. The men’s section boast of 20% of new arrivals, which is pretty damn good, considering the new stuff usually goes on sale at the end of the season. They are also selling Jay-Z’s custom tee’s as well.
