Homme Plisse Issey Miyake Alternatives: Zara Jogger Pants & Shorts

[@CH-vm6cq]

Do you have a link to them?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

www.zara.com/us/en/ottoman-knit-pants-p04087311.html?v1=124502116&v2=1886372 The ones I specifically have were called jogger pants/shorts so I believe this may be a wider fit. They might not the exact ones anymore because they are transitioning to FW21 BUT i have a feeling they’ll bring back the pants during SS22, not guaranteed though. I don’t see why not since a lot of these fast fashion brands tend to make cheaper alternatives of designer brands and Homme plisse’s are the only wearable pants during spring/summer cause it’s sooo light.

Had the Zara pants for awhile and decided to pick up Homme Plisse yesterday. The quality is insane on homme plisse and i dont regret purchasing it

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Just wore mine recently! Definitely huge difference

[@AAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKK]

@@MarkReyesCayabyab for sure! I'm wearing mine out tonight, I can't wait

[@deaddada]

I completely feel you wanting to save the money, but you gotta mention, my guy, the fact that Issey Miyake himself designed the specific polyester Homme Plisse uses, FROM THE MOLECULAR LEVEL NO LESS, to retain the pleats and resist wrinkles FOREVER. The man was everything from a fashion desogner to a molecular chemist! That's what you're paying for with Homme Plisse- proprietary textiles designed to withstand the abuses of wear and time, all while feeling as comfortable and natural on your skin as a organix fabric, as well as perfect drape(with the right size/fit) and cut to meet the specifications of a true master. Me, personally, fpr those who might be into the Zaras, I'd say wait, save up, it's worth it. I have a pair from the 80's and they are indistinguishable from the pair i bought last year. Permanent luxury.

[@ratnadeepsaha7047]

sounds like someone finnesed u so u wanna finnese others 🤡

[@gfs5843]

I understand you but you gotta remember, as much as you want a pair of pants if you really want to rock them and you dont win enough money, you are not going to pay 300 for ones

[@MrNightpwner]

Did he? As an American I done trust that story one bit. Everyone lies to make a buck.

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

@@gfs5843 To each their own and i think it's a valid point to make! I say if you really are into quality get the homme plisse's! If you're on a budget and want to get a cheaper alternative, get the zara's! As long as if the individual is happy then that's all that matters!

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

​@@MrNightpwner To some extent but also keep in mind that in order for a company to scale and keep catering to their customers they always have to profit.

[@khmerkrew]

thank you so much for this video, it was exactly what I was looking for in terms of information!

[@jovansanchez3740]

Ive been debating these for a fat minute, especially cause im on the shorter side and i tried them on and they run kinda long, but i think im gonna cop and take em to the tailor. Was literally looking in zara yesterday! Good video bro!

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Always down to help fam! Yes, I would rather tailor the Zara pants than the homme plisse’s lol. Lemme know how it works out for you!

[@dezanto]

I really obsessed with this pleated style. I even got the tshirt to matched it with pants

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

I love the t shirt style as well. What color did you get it in?

[@spindext]

How are the pockets on the Zara one? I heard they are kind of shallow. Also, have you tried the river island or other brands with plisse pants?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Pockets are definitely shallow! I would always have to put my phone in one pocket and keys in the other. Even with my Homme Plisse's i try not to put anything in my pockets cause it's very noticeable especially with the texture of the pants so i try to always bring a bag to carry my stuff!

[@jacksonkwong8171]

great video and very informative! I just ordered the zara alternatives! I might have missed it, but may I know what size you wearing in the issey miyakes?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Size 1 for the JF150!

[@ohexchaned6644]

@@MarkReyesCayabyab what is size 1 mean in Europe

[@Alexdeguzman_]

Are these zara alternatives still available in the US?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

@@ohexchaned6644 That i unfortunately don't know. I think it would be considered "small" or a size 28-30? Japanese sizing is different and should be converted to European sizing!

Heyy, im 5’11 and weigh 164 lbs what size do you recommend getting the issey miyake pants in ?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

i think i talked to you on instagram? But if anyone is in the same boat, it depends on your style, cropped maybe 2, baggy would be 3. I would measure your length of your ideal pants and the ideal leg opening to see what you prefer!

[@tekweteke213]

Does anyone know what it will be called on the Zara website

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

They usually come out with different names: So far i see it named as "Pleated pants" www.zara.com/us/en/pleated-pants-p08288680.html?v1=159733353 Best of luck!

[@ohexchaned6644]

Which size do u wear by theese plisee pantns From zara

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

I got a size small!

Okay but where did you get that Shania Twain shirt? 😭

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Thrifted! The thrift gods decided to bless me with the find 😅

[@dreamie9868]

@@MarkReyesCayabyab That is such a great find! I came across your video because I picked up some of the zara pants during the sale but I'm wondering if these pants will hold up in the wash? How have they held up for you over the months?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

​@@dreamie9868 Washed it and it did shrink by a little bit. Still feels the same for me. I wouldn't be surprised if these did fall apart but i think if you really see yourself wearing these for years, i say get the real homme plisse's!

[@DannEsc11]

Do you have the item code or link?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Unfortunately, i don't think Zara is selling the pants anymore. Uniqlo made some for women that fit pretty cool for men but the problem is the material is too light to the point where it's kind of visible

[@bboyodd3]

What size do you wear in the Zara pants?

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Small due to length!

[@brianpark9950]

Did u cut the length of the pant? i bought a pair but its too long

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

Nope! The size I got was perfect. Sometimes when I want it to sit up more, I lift the pants up past my waist

[@princeosars3298]

So the pants back in stock again. Great

What do you guys think of the Zara alternatives?? 🤔🤔🤔

@@MarkReyesCayabyab someone told me that the quality is not even close. To be honest I just saw the Zara pleats a few days ago in Zara and was quite shocked at how nice they look. I'm sure the quality is not the same though.

[@MarkReyesCayabyab]

@@chrismitsos6817 it’s definitely not the same. The homme plisse’s are lighter and feel more delicate as opposed to the Zara option. I’ll do a video soon especially with summer here, it’s definitely a better choice of pants compared to chinos
