Well said Tom. I hate it when people apply their values to your own. In this case, his are fine for him (maybe), and yours are fine for you. Advice and judgement not required….

Yep, some people like nice clothing, some people like their wine and spirits, some like to snort it and inject it into their veins…we just like to take numerous fade pictures of our crotches and post them online for everyone to look at

@T4920 this is pretty much the identical situation to what I described earlier. Its funny cuz i've never really thought of myself as a 'clothes person' either. This is just the path that my dissatisfaction with disposable shit led me down haha. Living in a pretty humble house, and having already invested in the collection of toys I'm content with, allows me to enjoy quality threads at my income level. My priority is basically to ensure the kids and wife are more than taken care of, and if I have some left over, get a shirt maybe lol

If one of us had worn a pair of IH jeans to the level of those Balenciagas we would probably want them hung on a wall. Couture is as much about ideas as form, and Balenciaga is about rebelling against luxury as something clean and pure. Just like Haraki has a vision to make something in a specific way, and it costs money to do that, same with Balenciaga. As an appreciator of well-designed clothing, stretching my limits of understanding of what well-designed means is an enjoyable aspect of the interest. I like the learning aspect of seeing something that is confusing and figuring out how it works on its own terms. Whether I want to wear it or not is a different question from whether the thing has merit in itself.

@T4920 I used to collect witty replies to be used in such situations. For example, "why do you care so much about my clothes when you obviously don't care about your own".

[T4920]

@Nik I appreciate the sentiment, but I feel like the distain in this thread for that particular pair came from the unnatural nature of the wear, rips, and fades, rather than the fact they were pre-distressed, and/or from a 'high fashion' brand.

@Yoprst Looking amazing! Can I ask what shirts you're wearing in these pics? The denim looks stunning.

Yes it white weft on MMT.
IH 18oz vintage denim is something that stays apart in the best sense of the word.

I'm afraid this thread is not the best for shirt discussions

[T4920]

@Yoprst yes! Here is much more appropriate for shirt chatter

@goosehd are you proud of us?

[WhiskeySandwich]
