I'd just buy a ton of ervell knits to be honest, and some SNS Herning chunky things. Loro Piana is in that range though.

>>6112230
what a waste of money

i second acne for chinos and oxford shirts as well (acne oxfords fit weird for example their 44s fit 46). jil sander makes nice tees for 120 ish. $700 sweaters?? lol a lot of designers just check thru retail sites

>>6112243
depends who u ask

Why would you ever spend 100 bones on a t shirt unless your make like 50k a year after taxes and living expenses?

i could buy shirts that price all day long.

t shirts like that are priced for people who think "if it costs a lot, that means it is very fashionable"

>>6112298

It might mean, "If it costs a lot, no one else is using this particular dye on this particular grade of jersey in this twisted seam construction."

acne is such garbage

>>6112298
>t shirts like that are priced for people who think "if it costs a lot, that means it is very fashionable"

or people who think it's hi quality. When it came out of the exact same chinese factory as the lower priced clothing with the only difference being a logo on the tag.

>>6112298
okay, so??

if people can afford to buy $300 tees i doubt it really matters to them whether or not it's "worth it" in the first place, designer clothes are a luxury and are not intended to be afforded by everyone. price is also superficial and seeing as that tee is buy ysl, it is fashionable lol, nice tee, nice cut, if you can't personally afford it then don't bother with it.

>>6112332
>chinese factory
>made in italy

go away

>>6112303
i was talking about shirts like >>6112230

>>6112230
That's a lot more money, and I don't even like it.

>>6112342
>that shirt
>luxurious

no

>>6112240
Ervell, of course! How is Loro Piana?

P.S. wouldn't buy Thom Browne has those labels on it doesn't it?

>>6112362
designer clothes are a luxury, yes. you don't know what you're talking about

>>6112314
why

>>6112369
tell me exactly what is so luxurious about THAT specific shirt, besides the fact it has a tag that says saint Laurent.

>>6112364
Don't have personal experience with Loro Piana, but I imagine it's pretty baller, amazing reputation. I'll probably invest in some in the future, but right now I'm all Ervell all the time. Ervell-wise, grab a couple lighter cotton pocket sweaters and wait till next season as well. The cotton is nice but the alpaca he uses in the winter is super soft and nice. The ones I grabbed last season are great.

And yeah, TB does have labels, my bad there if you're not down.

>>6112332
>When it came out of the exact same chinese factory as the lower priced clothing with the only difference being a logo on the tag.
seeing as that tee is made in Italy and 100% rayon i'm going to have to disagree. do you apply that same concept to all clothes? because if that was the case you should just shop at walmart if you already don't.

>>6112296

I wouldn't feel comfortable spending that much on those items until I had discretionary income of $300k+.

$700 for a sweater? $100 for a T-shirt? That shi better be woven by Tony Blair out of unicorn pubes.

>>6112314
This, I mean why would you even tell people you're wearing "acne", they either gonna think it's that Looney Toons shit or that you're clothes are so cheap they are named after a skin disease.

>>6112342
It sucks, even things NOT made in China are still made in chinese sweatshops. I want my quality back.

>>6112383
Oh nice, might check them out then. I always thought it was dadcoreish things.

>>6112290
elder statesman and loro piana sweaters for under $700?!?!?!?!?!

where?

i'd shoot for them

>>6112402
yes because the title of a brand really correlates to whether or not it's "garbage"

>>6112386
>it's made in italy, therefore it is great quality
>rayon is godly fabric

>>6112416
i didn't say that tho. it's clearly not the same tee that comes out of a chinese factory if you can't tell that based on a photo then you shouldn't be engaging in fashion discussion to begin with

>>6112230
basic tees are for basic bitches

you rick owens swaggots best get to steppin unlessyou want me to be steppin on the back of your niglet heads

>claim its made in china

>>6112432
seig tell us about your magic deck u fucken nerd

People on this board are either really wealthy or terrible with money.

They claim that they can "afford" ludicrously-priced shit that usually doesn't even look good, but what does "afford" even mean?

I make $150k and still budget pretty conservatively. I buy quality items, but there are dramatic diminishing marginal returns after a certain point. And $1400 sneakers and $700 sweaters pass that point.

Yes, I wouldn't have to sell my house and car to buy $700 sweaters. But I might not be able to retire as early as I'd like. I might not be able to afford to send three kids to private school, but only two.

The future value of a dollar today is far greater than $1. Your money should never be sitting in a checking account.

Even if you receive the risk-free rate and no more, which is unlikely, your money more than triples over 40 years.

I don't know how you guys can justify that at such a young age. I'm genuinely curious and would love a logical response.

>>6112452
because they want it and are capable of buying it
and they have different priorities than you
how is this hard to understand

>>6112450
one drops with 3 rancor you fuckin bitch

tap more lands than you tap bitches FGT

>>6112452
well first, most posters here are 18 in college with 0 living expenses, that includes not having 3 kids.

and some people may simply value fashion as a hobby or whatever it may be to them- more than you. a lot of posters here have expensive tastes, and invest into single pieces as to quality>quantity (well i can't say a lot of posters here actually make that investment, but take a look at sf and sufu, and even posters on sz don't seem to have an actual huge income). my wardrobe is extremely limited for example but i have no limit as to how much i would spend on something, if i liked it enough.

>>6112452
>can "afford" ludicrously-priced
sales
also the definition of afford is subject where
>afford = obtain
instead of considering whats in your means

>150k
1/10

>>6112452
>I might not be able to afford to send three kids to private school, but only two.

ppl like u should not be parens

do ur kids a favor and blow all ur money on rick

>>6112484
1v1 me bro ill fuck u up

u think u can handle t2 burning tree emissary into burning tree emissary into goblin guide into rancor?

>>6112485
I don't have any kids either. I'm only 23. I just realize that the chances of someone my age living for a very long time are pretty high. And I'd like to live an increasingly-comfortable and luxurious life as time goes on.

As opposed to having to save-up for items and still being broke at 30.

Some here just seem unable to budget from what I can tell. Or don't realize that there is a middle-ground. For example, I'd love to buy a 2013 G-Wagon and I could come up with the cash if I liquidated some assets. But my 2007 Range Rover will do just fine for a few more years.

I could buy $700 sweaters, but a $100-$200 sweater will do just fine. It will fit fine, the fabric and construction will be good, and I don't see myself wearing holes through the elbows any time soon.

>>6112503
....but ...but arbor elf with 4 rancor iz gud? IZ signed?

>>6112489
>>6112490
Can you elaborate? Perhaps using spelling and grammar that makes your writing slightly easier to interpret and doesn't make you lose all credibility in the eyes of anybody who finished high school?

I stated my logic without insulting anybody, asked for input, and you come out swinging. Is your dick that small that you have to insult strangers and buy ugly caddyninja clothing to compensate?

>>6112518
>expecting to make $150k
lolol
>you cant balance a budget between high end clothes and necessities
you have to know that most people here are below 30 and unmarried, what just because you saw two threads about "im a brokeass and not the countless rick cops means most of /fa/ is fiscally unstable?

>>6112533
So logical you cant comprehend how fucked up it is to send two out of three kids to private school.

>>6112533
lol i only tried to defined what
>afford
means to other people

and obv you dont make 150k because you were being hypothetical
stop being insecure dipshit

>>6112547
I'd rather send all three is my point. Would you rather your children receive a sub-par education, but you got to wear trendy shit in your early 20s?

>>6112543
I'm below 30 and unmarried as well. And I've been here for a long time and see people talking about "saving-up" for items all the time. If you have to save up for it, you can't afford it in my book.

I'm just trying to understand your perspective.

>>6112550
$150k isn't even that much here in Chicago. That's borderline poverty in NY.

The fact that you guys think that making $150k a year is unrealistic sort of solidifies my point.

>>6112524
lol ok

>>6112575
>>Not having your walls covered in priceless artwork and stuff you bought at Oddities for too much money.

>>6112560
>If you have to save up for it, you can't afford it in my book
i toss out all financial ideology on 4chan since age demographic tend to trend towards college kids
relax
>>6112572
>chicago
>that land value
yeah im in SF so
if youre 23 and still questioning how a 4chan board works i question how you would obtain a $150k before 40

>>6112590
Land in Chicago is relatively inexpensive. It really depends on the area though.

But I overall have no idea what you're saying. And I work as a chemical engineer for Pfizer. It's a pretty standard third-year salary.

>>6112560
>If you have to save up for it, you can't afford it in my book.

Saving up for something is better budgeting than maxing out credit cards.

Also, considering grown-adult sapeurs wear outfits worth thousands of dollars and live in poverty, I don't think it should be this difficult to understand why a care-free teen/early 20s person would spend their discretionary income on relatively inexpensive ($1200 moonboots are cheaper than $3900 crocodile leathers) rather than save up for retirement 40+ years from now.

>>6112647
You could really benefit from a course in personal finance and another in logic.

Anyway, looks like I got my answer. Toodles,

>>6112606
>inexpensive
thats my point - you can make a shitload of money living around a shitty area

its the internet, the demographic is huge and you should always take nonfiction with a grain of salt. maybe babies first troll?
>I don't know how you guys can justify that at such a young age.
some people dont have to worry about mortgages or bills, so they can buy patrik ervell sweaters every month or something

>>6112560
if that's your definition of afford then why did you bother making that statement to begin with while realizing that a lot of posters here save for their clothes? regardless if i can or cannot "afford" (by your definition) the clothes i'm wearing, i do buy and wear the clothes. i also don't have financial issues - i save for my clothes and am also a college student as many other /fa/ posters.

mile a way man you feel for it

you guys just got trolled pretty hard and don't even realize it...

>>6112678
he actually said he doesn't make 150k i guess that was just something to draw in responses

who would want kids anyway what a waste of money

>>6112658
I don't know what you're implying, I actually have taken personal finance and I'm an accounting major. In fact, considering my post only describes the actions of other people, and never once mentions my own purchasing habits, I don't know why you'd even bring that up. I just wanted to point out the fact that, while you say saving up for something is a sign of bad budgeting skills, you don't recognize the reality, where a lot of people don't even go that far. Then again, you're probably just another "hurr spending money on clothes is dumb" troll.

>>6112690
>trolled

>>6112668
I'm not that dude but salaries are usually bigger for people living in expensive areas. Or do you mean you take home more after living expenses?
