If you buy Saintwoods for logo hoodies, collegiate crewnecks and varsity outerwear made by a crew that came up through nightlife and events, this list is for you. The closest matches are fellow Montreal label JJJJound, Amsterdam's The New Originals and New York's Aimé Leon Dore — all creator-run brands doing logo-led basics with a cultural project attached. Most sit in the same mid price band; Kith, Aimé Leon Dore and John Elliott are the step up.
