The Stories Behind 15 Of The Rarest Men’s Fashion Grails On Earth (And How You Can Buy Them)

For true men’s fashion obsessives, the kind who use the word “jawnz” and can rattle off their favorite Raf Simons collections (“Riot Riot Riot,” duh), the best sale of the year doesn’t happen on a huge e-commerce platform at clearance time. It happens on resale platform Grailed, which for the third-year running is holding the Grailed 100, a fire sale of the most covetable and significant pieces of menswear in the world. Though some of the 100 items for sale are available elsewhere on the peer-to-peer site, the Grailed 100 is a rare opportunity to cop them at a fair price—an infamous Supreme “Patagonia” crewneck will be available for $1,000 less than the current going price on the site, for example.
