Everyone thinks I'm a fag for spending $200 on a jacket.
>>18620067That's not even a lot of money for a jacket
>>18620067spoiler: it's the dicks you suck, not the jacket
>>18620067What jacket was it?
do you go around telling people how much your jacket cost?
why do they know that? post the jacket.
how many fags do your dollars have
>>18620067call everyone poorfags
>>18620067YOU SHOULD BUY THE ARITZIA SUPER PUFF BOI
>>18620067I once explained what takes the stuff I buy to expensive and why I value it (3000 EUR for jackets, 700+ EUR for shirts) and while they still think I spend too much they at least came to respect it. You simply need to be convincing (and spend so much that there's virtually no label anywhere to be seen, much easier to make people believe you don't do it for clout).
>>18620538>700+ EUR for shirtswhat
My kingdom for a quality leather coat betwixt 800-1000 burgerbux that fits someone nearly two meters tall.
>>18620539I think he means rupees
>>18620539What what? You think thats a lot? 1500 for high quality silk shirts is absolutely normal. 800+ for proper dress shirts made from Isle of man or Giza 42 cotton are as well.
>>18620548being the norm doesn't make it sensible, you are absolutely stupid for spending 1500 euros on a fucking shirt
>>18620550How would you know? You don't even know the difference in material quality? Do how could you possibly judge? Because to you that's a lot of money? Go ahead. Explain your reasoning as to why it's stupid that goes beyond>I wouldn't do it so it isYou may not believe it, but there is actual quality out there. Simply don't buy LMVH and adjacent shit.
>>18620554thinking you need to spend 1500 on a shirt to get quality is exactly what makes you the kind of stupid these companies target when they upcharge you up the ass, enjoy wasting money I guess it's yours
>>18620554>Giza 4245 yards is like $500, a shirt is like 3 yards. Even if you have a custom-made one, which at that price you would be retarded to not be, you are severely overpaying.
>>18620557The thing is you don't know what you're talking about yet act like you know that you do. You simply assume that it's all the same. You've never worn a 1500 EUR silk shirt and compared it to a 500 EUR one. The difference on tailoring quality, material quality and drape are orders of magnitude you can't even fathom. But because you assume it's all the same, you will forever construct this retarded ass backwards arguments that anyone with actual experience is gonna scoff at. I am sorry to tell you but to get certain design philosophies paired with certain tailoring and material quality you NEED to spend they kind of money unless you get the piece in sale. If you don't value the uptick in quality cause it's diminishing returns for you, that's fine. But that doesn't make it retarded to appreciate it or see the difference in fabric quality such pieces tend to have. It's honestly quite shocking that you're on a fashion board, pretending to career about the craft.
>>186205611) you're severely underestimating tailoring cost in a non third world country, why do you kids constantly do this? You never in your life had a shit custom tailored2) you also need to add price for high quality buttons3) good luck getting the pattern or color you want, and it simply being the same material doesnt mean it's woven the same way and therefore drapes, hangs or feels the same
>>18620557that's not even close to the level where it's actually stupid. 1.5k is fucking nothing when you consider fur coats and couture dresses can cost 25k to 80k. that anon said it best just because you're poor doesn't make his financial decisions stupid. it would only be stupid if you spent that kind of money on clothes and didn't have the salary to cover it easily.
>>18620557You sound so poor right now lmao
>>18620561The prices on Egyptian Cotton are all over the board. It's like Cashmere, Uniqlo will technically sell you a Cashmere sweater for like $50. It's not the same Cashmere as in a $1,500 sweater. Giza Cotton that's $10 a yard is the stuff they're using in mid market bed sheets. It's not the good shit a shirtmaker that produces $1,500 shirts is using. That's gonna be much closer to $50 a yard.
>>18620570I would just go to hong kong at that point and not pay the frog.
>>18620585anon please don't express these thoughts out loud in public. traveling to hong kong for tailoring does not make you smart it just exposes yourself as the kind of middle class midwit that doesn't have a clue about this subject. the whole point of a tailor is you build a relationship with them and they get to know you. that's how you get great clothes out of the transaction. it's no different than a barber. imagine saying if you had the money you'd go to hong kong for a haircut. most people don't know anything about bespoke clothes but they know about haircuts. they'd think you're retarded and be like how is a chinese guy that sees you one time going to give you a better haircut than someone down the street you go to every month.same story if you went to hong kong and got suits made vs just seeing a local tailor on regular occasions.
>>18620595It's simple, just have a flat in hong kong
>>18620614Can you explain why you even chose Hong Kong? That city is essentially as expensive as most first world cities bar Zurich, New York and the likes. Why would the tailoring be any cheaper there than let's say London?
>>18620619Hong Kong is cooler than London and has fewer muslims.
>>18620564Good Lord, it's embarrassing to read this shit.You speak like new money.One business trip to Beijing I commented on all the new money there and the senior politician I was having dinner with told me there's a new Chinese proverb about all of them who have come to the city and have wealth:Loosely translated:"Cow in Beijing still cow"That's you. Fucking cringe.
<- the jacket
I'm a blue-collar worker so I shouldn't even be here, but I worked with a guy who wore a $5000 jacket. He got really pissy when it got stained with oil. We all called him a fag, then he got fired after 5 months.
>>18620722Was it at least buffalo fur or something? That would be dope on a frozen oil field in canada
>>18620726Nope, it looked like a regular-ass jacket that I would pay $300 for.
>>18620630Solid nothing post. Why did you bother typing this out instead of actually attacking the statement in a meaningful manner? Oh right, be cause you can't.
>>18620727Huh, I don't understand why people pay for things unless the material would dictate that price. Like $5000 for a full buffalo fur coat would make sense and be badass.
>>18620764Like this is $6k and made to measure
>>18620689porkwear build
>>18620538look at this nerd ass effort effortpost Holy fuck dude nobody 'respects' that you spend 700 on shirts you fucking mong
>>18620554>ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A QUALITY SHIRT FOR ANYWHERE LESS THAN $800 Not gonna lie this take is dangerously based
>>18620815>Effortpost????????
>>18620821You won im convinced >>18620067Curious the jacket remains unposted
>>18620828Inb4 express vegan leather jacket
>>18620764Because I want expensive and nice things but I don't want anyone to know what they're worth. It's really not that complicated or difficult to understand.
>>18620386My wife does this and it drives me fucking mad. I hate it so much and she doesn't see anything wrong with it I'll be wearing new shoes and someone will notice and she'll be like "they cost 500 dollars" as if anyone needs to know how much they cost. I even told her to fuck off with that and she didn't understand why I was annoyed
>>18620868I do this but when I get things for a really good deal. Especially things that have gone up due to inflation
>>18620868When you inevitably divorce, be sure to mention how much the whole marriage cost.
>>18620868she sounds like a bitch.
>>18620881>>18620876She's actually great, we've been married almost a decade. She is just the classic normie that buys everything at a mall or Amazon and to her, "good" shoes are whatever she found at a mall store that cost 50 bucks. She has no concept of nice clothing or shoes or accessories. Materials to her are irrelevant, so it's a lot of plastic garbage To her, 500 dollars for some Goodyear welted leather shoes made in the UK is an insane and unnecessary price when she gets her loafers from Ross She's just the classic normie. That's how they all are
>>18620922>She's just the classic normie. That's how they all areNo, no they're not
Tell them to fuck off. It's your money.
>>18620922Ohhhhh ao she's mocking you for buying nice shit. No that's normal. You suggested she was bragging about money spent and not how cool the goods are. Like if somebody says how much a car costs but doesn't know how many cylinders it has or if its a v or boxer or anything else like that
>>18620067200 bux is cheap for a jacket
>>18620815I didn't say they respect that I spend the amount. They respect the reasoning behind it (attention to detail, appreciation for quality, seeing value in supporting local manufacturing instead of made in Bangladesh, purchasing items and having them tailor adjusted so they last you decades etc.). That's a more respectable mindset than saying you spend that amount for clout, for the brand, because it's trendy right now. I even said they still think it's way too much.
>>18620922Being married to that sounds like a nightmare, anon. You may be grateful when the divorce comes.
>>18620868You should never have told her what they cost
>>18620922there are worse problems to have than a cheap-ass wife lol. just don't stunt around her in public
>>18620067I spent $300 on a wool coat.
flyover retards think anything you didn’t get for $20 on sale at kohl’s is too expensive
>>18621216Not him but my wife can't have nice things because she doesn't take care of her shit. Like I would buy her something nice if she didn't break everything she owns. She put her laptop onto the caster wheel well of a rolling bag with no cushioning and has literally worn a hole in the plastic of it from bouncing it around. She also spilled coffee with milk all over the keyboard. Phone screen is cracked, clothes overdried, computer monitors scratched up, sunglasses broken, etc. I buy her decent things but never actually nice things, because of this.
>>18620953Most people can't understand why somebody would pay more than Walmart clearance prices for clothing.
>>18620922>to her, "good" shoes are whatever she found at a mall store that cost 50 buckspost her feet
>>18620067$200 is literally Walmart price for a jacket.
>>18621372quite the bargain
>>18620067lmao faggot
>>18620067Haha funny christmas frog
>>18623210It creeps me out how the frog clearly has mental disabilities and 4channers identify with it. It makes me feel like I'm sharing a board with people who have literal Down syndrome.
>>18623237That makes him even more cute
POST THE JACKET YOU RUDE FAGGOT
>>18621395she needs a spanking.
