Periodically, I receive questions from readers whose answers could help more people. I'm going to post them as I get them every other Thursday. If you have any clothes curiosities, send them to Larry@LarryinBurberry.com, or text me.
My cousin turns 16 next week and I want to get him a great birthday gift. He loves the finer things – gold bracelets, Supreme, Gucci, luxurious jogger pants… any idea for what I should get him? I'd like to spend under $150. Thanks for your help!
Supreme and Commes des Garcons are collaborating on a collection that includes t-shirts, a sweatshirt, etc. coming out 9/13. I'm not sure how much all of that will cost, but anything Commes Des Garcons might be a cool connection.
Beyond that, it's going to be hard to out knowledge him in the hype beast street wear department, but you might be able to show him some wiser, older person brands that are also making moves.
John Elliott is an L.A.-based designer who just partnered with Lebron. If he likes Lebron/is excited he's coming to L.A., it might be cool to get him something from him. Most the Nike collab stuff is sold out, but there are some cool basics or a gift card option. There are also some amazing corduroy bball shorts that are $168. Lebron, Bieber and other celebs were at his NYFW show this week, so he's hot in the streets.
I think I'd lean toward the socks, but hope this helps!
