For 85 I'd want a whole suit. Who can sketch that up?

I find it ironic that you guys are offended by someone spending that much on something to wear yet are happy to shell out the same or more on print's that will just end up getting stored in a flat file. to each their own though.
Yea but was that hoodie hand numbered? That's what I thought...

That said, yea, spend your hard earned money however you see fit. Still... is that hoodie made out of Mithril or what? Good lord.

It's cotton, hand made in spain, but the designer uses a thick double layer cotton, the cut and design is unlike anything out there, zippers are big fat riri, a lot of his items are treated in weird ways, leather jackets dipped in acid, etc. and each season the designer only produces about 20-30 pieces of most of his items. most of his stuff can be found at about the same price even in the secondhand market so you are buying something sort of collectible. Aitor Throup is another designer that some of you may appreciate whose prices go far beyond wtf, but are considered art / collectibles. I don't agree with the prices either, but i'm sure its no different from someone pulling the trigger on a $3.5k Kaws Screenprint.

I baby the paper though. My hoodies get thrashed. But that's probably because I buy them for $30-50 on clearance :lol: I'd be afraid to wear that thing out and damage it... if it's even susceptible to damage.

That model looks really sad for someone wearing a $1500 sweater.
