What would you buy if you won the lottery? Would your style change completely or would you add to your existing style? Would you still be moderately reasonable or would you buy the incredibly expensive?
In the immediate, short term:I would purchase more/new of what I currently need/want. It would be a small amount (I do not need/want very much, right now).Later, in the long-term:I would research the highest quality products of all of my current needs/wants/favorites.Once I've established what is the highest quality product of my interests, I will replace all of my goods. I would only keep what has nostalgic value.I would also probably purchase multiples of that "high quality" product I decided on as a back-up replacement for if/when my choice lost performance or needed repair.My variety is unlikely to change, though I would be more willing to "stock" some other gears/fashions as a mild "just-in-case" precaution/option.
>>18629951>I would also probably purchase multiples of that "high quality" product I decided on as a back-up replacement for if/when my choice lost performance or needed repair.Not to mention they keep discontinuing shit and/or making it shittier later.
>>18629949Depends what kind of lotteryIf it was absolute fuckyou money, I would hit up a bunch of bespoke tailors and just go nuts. >Heavy wool greatcoat that I can only wear two weeks a year>Wool gabardine trench coat>Wool field jacket>Winter and summer leather jackets>Safari Jackets>Wool and linen trousers>Wool and linen button up shirts>Different heights of leather bootsAll things that I don't have the money for right now or will never have the money to justify (not even non-bespoke). So the style would change considerably. Bespoke shouldn't be *too* costly, so no more than a few thousand bucks per piece. Think you run into diminuishing returns at that point.I'd also buy tons of 100% non-superwash merino underwear and wear that exclusively. So what if it breaks after a few months.
>>18629963Let's say it was that 1.4B Powerball. Even after the government steals half the money you would still have ~700 million and could comfortably get 7-28 Million a year just living on the basic 1-4% interest from it.
>>18629949Oh these little bitches who post here would blow in all their winnings in months. They're terrible with money as they all talk shit in their posts but never post photos of cool shit they own. $185 apron? lol, retarded.
>>18629978You wouldn't get ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSbmmEqiA3w
High end plastic surgery to look like a TikTok thirst trap and pass as a 20 year-old eboy old at 37.
>>18629949New pants I guess.
>>18629949Rating the sanity in getting those clothes 1-10>Boots6 - good boots can cost that much. Ostrich and those decorations cost extra. Not too much for a statement piece.>Jeans2 - way too much, can probably be found in comparable quality for less>Jacket4 - seems you pay xtra for the print in the lining that noone will ever see anyway>Boots10 - Less than 200 bucks for decent leather boots is a steal>Shirt1 - Way too much for a shirt>Buckle10, perfectly reasonable price for a buckle you like>T-Shirt10, ok price for a quality henley>Belt6, again the price is ok for a quality decorated belt>BackpacksCan't say, not much experience wit hbackpacks.>Mesh shirts9, prices are ok and mesh is great for the outdoors. If you want it for the outdoors. 4 if you want it to go to fetish clubs, there are better options for that (I would guess. No personal experience. Cough.)>Apron1, yo what the fuck who wears aprons to look good>Sweater7, Price is ok for a quality sweater.>Watch10, perfectly ok price for a watch>Shirt2, way too much, also who combines organic cotton with lycra>Blanket8, price is ok for a new wool blanket.>Leatherman10>Belt bag8, but only because that's legitimately how much it would cost. Actually wearing that atrocity gets a 2 from me, but hey, you do you.>Hoodie10>Shirt10>Gun9, rather get a true 9mm but 380 isn't so bad
>>18630206
>>18630206I already have a cz75 p09. I want a cc gun. You can get the jeans, apron, shirt for ~40% less in japan. A british distributor controls the western market and puts a huge markup on them. It's a workshop apron not a kitchen apron. The shirt I am just curious about the brand that is known for hemp. I want to buy primarily hemp clothes. It's made in the usa while the other hemp clothes are made in sweatshops. The watch itself is difficult to find and goes for $500-700 in the standard colorway while that run would likely go for ~$2000. The $100 is just for the bracelet. You can get mass produced "tooled" western belts that are stamped on rollers from boot barn for like $80 but hand tooling takes hours and hours to do.
>>18630258Also that jacket is sheepskin and made in usa so $730 is a ridiculously low price.
>>18630258>>18630259>jeans, apron, shirt for ~40%Ok, that seems a lot more reasonable.>It's made in the usaAsians sweatshops make decent quality shirts, or south americans for that. You can make a political statement, but frankly - how much of your clothing can you afford to have made in the US? The effect is limited. Maybe you want to support the manufacturer specifically for what they do, that makes a bit more sense.>$2000 watchNo. Just no. Noone will look at that watch closely enough to tell the difference from a $200 watch. That watch is for when you want to feel good about being able to spend money pointlessly. You don't seem to be that guy. Spend it on things that actually make a difference.>sheepskin made in usa $730Yeah, actually acceptable then.My dad likes to wear long leather jackets, so I MUST get one of those eventually. Seems to be a less popular style though, sadly. I am a bit obsessed with this company that imports south american production at ~500€, I can justify that, but pic is their only longer model. Aero leather makes even better shit, but they also cost twice as much so that's not happening. Probably. There are many other leather jacket companies but I find it hard to get a good overview.
>>18629949This collage is so, so, so bad.
>>18630220>$2,200+ for hat that makes you look like Fievellmao
>>18630318Dude. The $2k are for the greatcoat.
>>18630321$2K or $200, the hat is gay.
>>18630323Duly noted.
>>18630323It's literally a derivative of the german WW2 field cap lol.
>>18630286I mean I just ordered a $300 san martin. All my watches are ali express. I have an nh35, a vk63, and a st19. But these are all clones, a speedmaster, a top time, and a khaki field. This new one will be an nh34 and an original design. That said I could order a new normal alpinist for $530 right now. I will be buying the iron heart when my wife and I go to japan and I'll look in tokyo in watch shops to try to snag that white/gold alpinist at a good price. Or I might just get this kuoe which I also love, this is still a 4hz movement but has a typical ~40hr power reserve compared to the alpinists ~70 hours.My dad also had a very similar sheepskin with an interior map lining when I was a kid. He wore it until it wore out. It's funny you want a leather jacket like your fathers as well. Cockpit usa has good prices here and then you can get pendleton or ll bean cheaply in the states as well. I have a pendleton wool cardigan I got for $130 that is normally $265. I've seen that in yuroland you can get good deals with small trips around and can get good wool cheaply in ireland and scottland
>>18630361Forgot pic, this is close to $1000 though and I have no idea if it is cheaper in japan
>>18630220I really don't love anything here except the deerskin pants. The only thing I hate tjough are both the boots
>>18630381Yeah, people have critiqued my taste in boots on here before. I do want to buy me some good boots though.
>>18630397I'm pretty sure red wings are significantly cheaper here but I just have 875s and black cherry beckmans, fairly standard. I would like those ostirich cowboy boots and then maybe a good pair of blucher mocs. But I already have a pair of suede mocs with a crepe sole that would need to wear out first. You seem to like wwi/ii type things generally. You should check out cockpit usa. They have several items that may be of interest to you including a wool naval greatcoat
>>18630411
>>18630411Red wings are being imported at acceptable prices, might be an option. Blacksmith rather than iron ranger.I'm not *actually* interested in a greatcoat, there's like one week every year that it's cold enough to wear. Or rather, it's at the end of a very long list.
>>18630424I have beckmans but I think they're discontinued. You have to be careful because instead of raising prices red wing has made their boots cheaper and now often don't even have a shank. The 875s never did because they have a wedge sole and don't need one without a heel but from what I had seen the newer heeled boots have no shanks anymore.
>>18629949I'd hire a stylist as well as a designer to further develop my look and help me to either find rare pieces I wouldn't have known about or design them specifically for myself.
>>18630336It's a gay cap, yes.
I'd buy everyone on here a liberal arts education so they might have something interesting to say...
>>18629949I'd wear alot of buck mason and custom suits
>>18631118I already have one and then I got another one in technology because the first one was worthless
>>18631129Why tf can't buck mason make their short sleeve tees in henley varieties
>>18631200So now you have two worthless degrees and no intellectual swag. Well done
>>18631220The second one gets me past hr roasties but it isn't worth as much as something like a ccnp or cissp for sure.
>>18631241Anything else you'd like me to know?
>>18631254What is intellectual swag?
>>18629949I would drop stupid money on boots and wool clothes. I would try not to look like a guy who just won the lottery so I don't get ransomed as I work in a pretty rough city. I'd also not quit my because I would go insane with nothing droll to do.
>>18631402I would immediately move to a low population rural state like new mexico, idaho, wyoming, and build an underground dome house then spend all my time taking music lessons and collecting degrees, lifting weights, and going on destination hunts. Fuck living in a city the only point is work and all it does is make life into a series of people getting in your way. Everywhere you go there's just people in your way.
>>18631408Oh and definately build a full shop with a cnc router, 3d printers, and full wood, metal, leather, and textiles tools and work areas.
>>18631408I've NEETed for years and it has done me no good, I think I'd go insane if I "finished life" at my age. At the very least I don't live in the city, I just commute to it, it is a shithole though.
>>r18631413I'm already married and want to homeschool when we have kids anyway. Preferably a co-op with other like minded parents for socialization.
>only one comment about getting taylor/custom made clothesgrimm. Then again it's the board where peoples think that good looking clothes can make ugly peoples good looking, why am I surprised
>>18631434Custom tailored what though what are you going to be a suit guy for no reason while you're retired?
>>18631416Oh yeah that would be much nicer than my situation.
>>18631451honestly ? regular pants + shirts that actually fit you (+ ozempics and hair implant if you need them) will get you farther than 95% of the shit currently in the catalog
>>18631464Just lift weights, do cardio, and don't eat goyslop. It's that simple. You should buy clothes you really like. I guess you could do custom made if they can source the same materials and make it as well as there may not be patterns for what you want. Most of them tend to just focus on suiting not things like technical or heritage clothing.
full knights armor made out of solid gold
>>18631893Finally a real answer
>>18631893Would probably get dents all the time. Or be super heavy.
>>18629949I would move to Miami, buy a beautiful beachfront villa, and dress like Wes Watson or Jake Paul, like nouveau rich nigga IDGAF
i fucking hate winter so much its unreal, and i was born in siberia on the first day of winterfucking HATE WINTER
move to florida or texas or israeli fucking hate winter
hello god
>>18629949Have my favorite pair of jeans copied by the right tailor for the job fifty times, fifty heather grey tshirts once I find the right one, fifty navy sweaters, twenty wool peacoats, twenty pairs of penny loafers, twenty pairs of plimsols, twenty pairs of timbs and never think about clothing again.
would buy a condo on fisher island or eilat
>>18629949A dietician, a well-equipped home gym, and a personal trainer who'd come regularly. Beyond that basically just the same shit I already own but in smaller sizes. >>18630258I have a Shield Plus and like it, pretty similar to the BG but with 9mm. The ridiculously tiny size of the BG is appealing though.
>>18632767Home gym minimals are;Squat rack + oly bar + platesBench with inclineDumbell set from 15lb-120lbDual cable machineAssault runnerDip + pull up/chin up stationAnother thing tou definately want is a full shop with wood/metal/leather/fabric/plastic tools and machineryComputer controlled:Cnc tablePlasma cutterLaser engraver/cutter3d printerEmbroidery machineNormal stationary power tools:Drill pressTable sawTable routerBand sawTable grindersTable sanderTable skiverPlanerTile sawLatheHeavyweight and lightweight sewing machinesFume hood and soldering stationThen a variety of hand and hand power tools from heat guns to impact drivers to leather punches and needles to dye brushes to long wrenches. It's honestly endless.
i'm very happy with what i own and wear on a regular basis, i think i'd mainly just throw money at the wall to get a few grail pieces that i've wanted since i was younger but couldn't afford then, that have now become unobtainable/less obtainable due to not being produced/sold anymore. pretty much dressed by superfuture/didn't grow out of 2014-16 core but who gives a shit. most of these can be bought with a little bit of patience and knowing where to look, but with unlimited money i'd just try and pay unreasonable prices to get them as fast as possible in the best condition possible.
>>18633168lmaooo at that acronym bag is that real? hahah i wanna see a fit with itabsolute cringe list my man
Made to order or bespoke everything, so it fits just how I want from good materials, not poly slop.
>>18633171thanks my man, let's see yours
>>18633175>dude trying to flex taobao China made techwear junk sold by a bald grifter gets butthurt when called outYikes. Didn't think there were any of you sad rejects left anymore. 2015 was 11 years ago, unc.
>>18633168Hoooooly cringe lmao
>>18633179that's fine, let's see your list
>>18633168Why not just get the best actual version of these items of clothing instead of whatever this temu stuff is, vidda pros for cargo pants, trakke for a fold down ~20L backpack, norrona trollveggen shell, etc. Hoodies and sweatpants are wear and tear so they don't really matter. I don't even want to comment on how useless the snow jacket is when your body loses the most heat through the head, ancles, WRISTS, and belly. It is completely nonfunctional. Slides are whatever since you only wear them from the locker room to the pool and sauna and back to shower.
>>18633120I already have a basic home shop, no bench/machine tools yet though other than a shitty jobsite table saw. 3D printer and a MIG welder coming next. I'd definitely have a full machine/fab shop given the budget, actually I'm going back to school for machining right now and the long-term hope is having my own shop as a business someday.
>>18633189The guy is clearly Asian. He only buys, and significantly overpays for what he gets, from Asian grifter brands like Visvim and Acronym because they represent his racial identity. Sad but true. No one overcompensates as hard as a short Asian guy in the West.
>>18632119just have a new one made every day
>>18633400I have a good amount of basic tools, car jack and stands, long wrenches, torque wrench, breaker bar, multiple rachets, enough to do basic wheel/suspension/brake work and then angle grinder, hand tools, power drill, oscilating tool, then I have a cheap leatherworking kit and a hand sewing kit. Also I have a little anvil, a vise, and a propane torch. What I would like first would be a juki or babylock sewing machine, better punch tools for leather, a better skiver, a table saw, a decent 3d printer, and for sure some power sanders and a table belt/disc sander. I have too many wants in general though because I also want a nas set-up in raid 5 with jellyfin and online accessible file storage. I already know solid works very well.
>>18633168Don't listen to the newfags, they don't get it>>18633400That bike looks familiar, dbt?
Op here my name is kekke im a trooned out wog bottom from australia
>>18633575>first would be a juki or babylock sewing machine,Both really nice. I have a little Husqvarna and it's not bad, not really a pro grade machine or anything that can handle leather though. >>18634186>dbtyeah, haven't been around much lately since riding season's over for me though.
>>18634233Leather depending on weight you can just saddle stitch by hand. I'm not trying to make jackets or anything. I bought it to resole some boots and did so successfully otherwise I've just made a few wallets but I would like better pricking irons and a punch because honestly all you need to do basic leather work is pricking irons, an xacto with a bunch of blades, a cutting board, a divider, some contact cement, and thick needles and thread. You could get into basic leatherworking with decent shit for$30 - Pricking Iron Set$5 - Hole punches (for use with mallet)$10 - Divider$5 - Heavy duty needles$7 - weldwood contact cementxacto and a utility knife you already haveOtherwise you just need to buy some leather and thread. You could make some wallets or a holster or sheathe with just these easily. Or add toggles to some drawstrings.
>>18634303Oh but if you want a bunch of card holders you will need a skiving knife, $8 for a cheap one. All these tools are on tandy, rocky mountain leather supply, weaver leather supply in varying levels of quality. Leather obviously can be ordered there or elsewhere as well. I wish I had known this before buying amazon shit.
>>18629949To be honest, if I was Uber rich, I would follow Japanese trends
even if i was ultra rich i still would not spend $400 on jeans
>>18634303Yeah I know that's how it's done for heavier leather. You'd use a sewing machine more for upholstery or making clothing or whatever. I actually probably have a leather project coming up, speaking of that, I've got access to a 40 watt laser cutter/engraver and want to make some kind of sheath/holster for my calipers since I'm sick of cutting myself on the pointy-ass tips when they're in my pocket lol.
>>18634801I've laser engraved leather before, just brace yourself for the smell. It also burns dark past the top layer so the color is weird to judge. I'm sure you would do test swatches, but it's weird to guess whether to invert the negative space on. Honestly you would have more fun buying some basic basket weaving stamps and bevelers on tandy
>>18634865Actually, just cut some thin wood templates with the laser cutter and cut along the edge of them with a utility knife. It's not really good to engrave or cut because of the smell and texture you get.
>>18633168>$2000 down jacketDesigner cucks are insane in the head
>>18634865>>18634868Our machine supposedly works really well for it, instructor has done a bunch. That said I probably won't really do any decorative engraving anyway, just cutting a plain pattern out and maybe doing the holes if the machine can manage it accurately.
>>18633168based hate these fucking retard aoomers who have turned this board into ck
