Opinions on this Kapital Damask fleece? Is it played out?

For context, I'm in Japan right now so would be able to grab it for retail. Although I like it, just worried it's become too much of a meme

Speaking from experience, you're gonna have a hard time pulling that off in your home country unless your home country is in Asia or you're an homosex

I will never understand why hype/archive-beasts decided to start liking Kapital. Probably because a black rapper wore it, and we all have to do what black rappers say for some reason. To be clear, I think Kapital is a great brand, but it's not the sort of thing I would wear myself.

>>17642499
There's nothing wrong with the fleece but it is a bit of a 'meme' item, even so far as there being fakes of it, and it's not going to be interesting if you're just wearing it with plain jeans and a plain shirt or whatever. If the rest of your wardrobe is JUNYA, Kapital and other elevated heritage-workwear-outdoorsy stuff then sure, go for it.

but it surprises me how the ugly manlet asians who did nothing but browse the internet like cancer survivors on drip feed for a decade still come out as ugly, uneducated, souless, and their taste is just as bad as year 1 of being undercover yohji addicts. fa really is dead when all we had to show for it was an indian who hired vietnamese to dress blacks paid for by new york jews.

I had one back in 2019 (yes i am better than everyone here) and it was pretty nice even though its just polyester. pretty soft stuff and the pattern is nicer in person. If you can get for retail its worth it but dont get rid of it-- i regretted it

they had bought it up for pennies on the dollar on yahoo, and then made north americans think it was cool to increase their profit margins. Pretty straightforward pump n dump scheme, except that kapital has stayed popular and went on to become of graileds best sellers lol
