My architectural blueprint for a Fear of God Essentials Spring '26 haul that won't collapse under Singaporean prices

Why I am obsessed with the Fear of God Essentials Spring '26 collection

I woke up early this February to catch the drop of the Fear of God Essentials Spring '26 Core Collection. If you are like me and live in Singapore, you know the struggle of trying to find the latest Jerry Lorenzo drops without paying a 50% markup at local luxury boutiques. This season, the color palette is particularly striking, featuring earthy tones that I haven't seen in previous years. I noticed that these specific Spring '26 colorways are currently exclusive to US retailers like PacSun, making them a high-commodity item for my wardrobe.

See more about shipping to Singapore

I spent some time browsing us trends and realized that the stock availability in the United States is significantly better than anything we have here. While local shops might carry a few sizes, the US stores have the full architectural range of the Core Collection, from the oversized hoodies to the perfectly tapered sweatpants. I decided I wouldn't let distance stop me from getting my hands on these pieces.

My blueprint for sourcing these threads from US retailers

My plan was simple but required the right foundation. I knew that buying directly and shipping to Singapore would be a headache if I didn't use a reliable freight forwarder. I set up my account to get a tax-free us address in Oregon, which is a crucial step in my blueprint. This allowed me to avoid US sales tax, which can add up quickly when you are buying multiple heavy fleece items.

I followed the step-by-step guide provided on the site to ensure my package would be handled correctly. It’s a straightforward process: I shop, I ship to my US address, and then I wait for the notification to send it home to Singapore. I’ve found this to be the most efficient way to shop us store sites that don't offer direct international delivery.

The PacSun advantage and why I avoid local markups

I prefer shopping at PacSun because their pricing for Essentials is much closer to the retail MSRP. In Singapore, I’ve seen the same hoodies priced at nearly double what they cost in the US. By using an international shipping service, I can bypass those inflated local prices. Even after factoring in the cost to shop us ship international, I still end up saving a significant amount of money.

My secret weapon for stubborn US checkouts

I have encountered a major structural flaw in my shopping plans before: many US stores, including some that carry Fear of God, have a habit of blocking international credit cards. I have had orders cancelled simply because my billing address was in Singapore. This is where I use the "BuyForMe" service. It acts as a professional proxy for my purchases.

The problem is frustrating; you find the perfect Spring '26 hoodie in your size, but the store declines your payment or refuses to ship to a known forwarder. The solution I found is comGateway’s BuyForMe service. They use a US domestic card to buy the items on my behalf. The biggest benefit is the peace of mind. I no longer worry about my order being flagged or cancelled. It is the safest way I have found to guarantee that my Spring '26 gear actually makes it to the warehouse. If you’re ever unsure about a store's policy, you can always check their FAQ for more details on how they handle these assisted purchases.

My shipping estimates for the Core Collection

I wanted to make sure I wasn't surprised by the costs, so I used a shipping calculator before I hit the checkout button. Here is the data I gathered for my specific haul to help you estimate shipping cost for your own order.

Volumetric Warning: I should mention that while these clothes aren't particularly heavy, they are quite bulky. If you are ordering five hoodies at once, the box size might trigger a volumetric weight charge. I always suggest consolidating your items to keep the box as compact as possible. Also, regarding the Battery Check: This collection consists entirely of high-quality fabrics, so there are no lithium batteries to worry about, making the shipping process much simpler.

Getting the goods to my doorstep in Singapore

Once my Fear of God items reached the warehouse, I had to consider the final leg of the journey. I kept an eye on the current rules for GST/VAT in Singapore. Since 2026, the thresholds and rates are something I always double-check to avoid surprises at customs.

I’ve found that by being my own architect and planning the shipment carefully, I can enjoy the Spring '26 Core Collection weeks before it hits the secondary market here. My blueprint is tried and tested, and it hasn't let me down yet. If you have questions about the process, the support team is usually very helpful with specific shipping queries.
