Welcome to /fa/, where the more you spend the better you look.

Got a well made pair of shoes for $50? Fuck you, something must be wrong with them, my shoes cost $1500!

/fa/ falls victim to believing exactly what retail companies want them to believe. That more money = better quality.

Sure, if you buy extremely cheap, it will probably show in the look and the wear. But past a certain point, you're just paying for the label/designer's new house.

Yes, I do.
As an enthusiast, I care about these things. Why wouldn't another man with the same hobby?
People who aren't starving and are making a living wage tend to put more of themselves into their work.
There are also many grades of leather, and most of the more 'affordable' leather jackets are not made with quality leather. What this means is that a lesser garment will not improve with age. Rather, it will either delaminate, distend or discolor. A surprising number of leathers nowadays are made with 'bi-cast' leather, which is the leather equivalent of particle board.

So it's like anything else. You can live in a particle board house lined with off-gassing chinese drywall and PVC pipes, or you can shell out a whole lot more and live in something healthy and beautiful that won't be falling apart in five years.

Why is this such a sticking point for you? I'm actually not that concerned by your derision for how this man spends his money. What bothers me is your stubborn unwillingness to accept the validity of any viewpoint but your own.

You're better than that. Open your mind a bit, and don't be so quick to judge.

Pair of decent looking jeans for a middle to lower-middle class person - $50

You pieces of shit buy $250+ pair of jeans that look slightly better.

The fact you people so highly value that SLIGHT difference in the $250+ pair makes you a fucking embarrassment to humanity.

Now if the name brand and the prices were to swap, you idiots would STILL buy whichever one costs $250.

Answer me with more thought and care. At least show me that courtesy. It's obvious you don't care where your clothes come from. It's also obvious you're incapable of entertaining viewpoints that are not your own, and that is sad.

That 'shit about leather' was intended to illustrate the range of quality that is available in many incarnations of a single garment at multiple price points.
Whether or not you think people should avoid leather is also irrelevant, because it is what YOU think, and it is not what HE thinks. The exercise here is to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Seeing the difficulty you appear to be having with that, I offered you the analogy of a cheap home built with shoddy materials.

Let your ego go. There is no prize here. There is nothing to gain by remain stubborn and close minded. There is nothing to win.
In fact, if you insist on going through your life unable to entertain foreign points of view? There's quite a bit to lose.
You aren't going to 'win' this argument. You're preaching a point of view that essentially invalidates our favorite things in the world were we to accept it. Why would we accept such a thing? We gain joy from fashion, from apparel. That's a net gain. Why would we agree with you, ever?
Just calm down, man. Slow your roll a bit and put yourself in the shoes of an enthusiast. The exercise will prove beneficial for you, I promise.

We buy clothes because fashion is our hobby (btw when I saw we I'm talking about the guys here that really like fashion and have taste, not the guys that are looking for tips on what to wear to a date) We don't necessarily buy the most expensive thing available, but I will certainly not discredit a 1500$ jacket simply because walmart sells jackets for 50$, just like a /g/ dude won't buy an acer laptop for 500$ even though it's available.

Personally I don't give a shit about which magic card is the best or which computer is the best, because that simply isn't an interest of mine, and if /g/ and gaming guys want to spend 1000000000$ on something who the fuck cares it's there money and that's what they want to do with it. live and let live bro

yes I agree it doesn't promote good values


but when you're talking about fashion you can't ignore the media giant and LVMH/PPR it's just impossible. The video explains the "trickle-down" mechanic present in fashion in an entertaining way though

It's a horrible way to try to legitimize your point of view.
It actually frames him, the bargain bin shopper, as philosophically superior.

Absolutely not, anne hathaway came off as a classless and unknowledgeable pleb, meryl streep was extremely knowledgeable and skilled in her profession.
