/fa/ - Fashion

that's pretty shitty of them, it's a present

ask them about if you wanted the new xbox what purpose would that serve

how much is it? just say it's what you want, and if you wear it all the time chances are you'll get your moneys worth out of it

next time ask for the money instead.

Pfft. Some things are better bought by yourself. Know what I mean? Find a job, save some of that cash, and buy the jacket later. If your parents bitch about it later, tell them that you worked for this money, and that your jacket is well deserved.

then sell them all at school and buy your UC jacket

on the other hand, you're a spoiled little brat if you think 1k+ for a leather jacket from your mum is reasonable

>>7298794

>find a job
>in uni

part time it would take him like 6 months of saving all his dosh to afford some UC jackets

Also, I am not familiar with the quality of UC, but I am willing to shell out extra dosh for well made clothing. Low quality clothes feel weird and they only last a season. It is best to buy something that will last you many seasons.

Now, I bet your parents are going to buy you a shitty leather jacket from Kohl's.

>"B-but mooooooooom."

>>7298791
the jacket was $600 and they even offered for that

>>7298811
ask them for the new xbox then catch them out on being retarded

also what you should really do is take cash and then ebay hunt

>>7298811
wow that's not even that much

>>7298807
Maybe he can wait. If there's something that I want badly, I am willing to tighten my belt. I can cut some spending and put it towards my copping fund. Shit, I even keep a coin jar to add to the fund. It all adds up.

also the money I that I had lying around that i would kick in was 250 so it would only be 450 for them

>>7298819
I would but knowing them they will figure out

>>7298830

Ask for this.

(I'm being sarcastic.)

>>7298810
>Low quality clothes feel weird and they only last a season. It is best to buy something that will last you many seasons.
I have heard this so many times on this board and I always wonder: what do you do with your clothes?

- I have $20 jeans that last me since more than 7 years
- I have a $200 leather jacket that lasts me since 4 years without even the slightest defects
- I have $60 shoes that last me since 6 years
etc etc etc

And I wore all of those items regularly, sometimes daily, and I do a lot of hiking and stuff like that.

Don't mean to hate on high-quality clothing, but when I buy that, I buy that mostly for the design and sometimes for the superior material feel, and not for durability.

Just stop attacking your clothes with a fucking boxcutter or whatever it is you're doing wrong with your regular clothes.

>>7298845
>I have $60 shoes that last me since 6 years
hahahaha no

>>7298840
that would be happy if i showed them that

>>7298845
Well, no matter what, all clothes will degrade over time.

All things constant:
>Lower quality clothes will degrade faster. >Higher quality clothes will degrade slower.

Higher quality usually denotes better materials, better craftsmanship, etc. Also, you don't consider durability when buying clothes? What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>7298852
yes. black hi-top suede converse. I wore the shit outta them in high school. The soles still look decent, the suede is undamaged, the only thing I had to replace was the laces, which I did after about 3 years because they became all tattered at the ends and even eventually ripped apart in the middle.

I also do have steel-toed SHARKs (good doc martens replica) - those are a lot more fucked up, especially at the toecap (which I regularly used to smash beer bottles), the leather is all opened up and shit, but the boots themselves hold up fantastically and were of much use in the recent floods in Germany, making my way through 10 inches of fucking mud.

my parents have always been enthused by the choices I asked for them in the past... It's all been stuff that's more tech wear or w/e and could last a few decades.

if you're asking for some trendy artisan stuff then I could see where that comes off as seeming a bit bratty.

>>7298845
Lmao enjoy your pleb ass ugly clothes
>>7298787
Enjoy being poor fag and leather jackets are disgusting

>>7298876
seeing as how, for example, my suede Converse hold up nicely since 6 years, I wonder how many years it would take until I can't wear them anymore, and whether any more expensive article would hold up longer.
Also, I think I might die before my dirt-cheap Trapper leather jacket gives up on me.

And why do you think I don't consider durability when I buy designer clothers? Right - because I have never had durability problems with cheap clothes, ever (except some t-shirts that ripped during parties etc).

Seriously I never got this and I probably never will.

OP I can kinda see where you're coming from since it was within the budget they said. Are you sure they didn't want a list of smaller things that added up to whatever it was?

But don't get too upset over it. They're giving you free stuff for being white in December basically

Post a pic o link of the UC jacket you want

>>7298787
"Thank you for the offer. You're right. The jacket is a bit pricey. You know what? Don't worry about it. You're both loving parents and anything you could think to get me would be wonderful. I'll just let you decide this year"

stop being such a cunt

>gets at least $600 worth of presents for christmas
maybe it's my jelly talking but shit dude suck it up, you got dealt a good hand in life

Are you that faggot that got caught cheating on an exam?

>>7298905
>Lmao enjoy your pleb ass ugly clothes
lol kiddo, I wear mostly Burberry, Smith, Dior, Prada, SLP and Dolce&Gabbana. Not because I think they are of "superior quality" or "longer-lasting" or whatever bullshit you make up to justify buying stuff you can't objectively afford, but just because I have the funds to not care whether a trenchcoat costs $200 or $1050 and I just don't go shopping in H&M anymore, plus wearing labels like that is kind of a status prerequisite in the fucked up phony circles I move around nowadays business-wise.

But seriously guys, if you are still in college and you are saving up for more than a month just to buy a fucking jacket and then fool yourself into believing that you paid for "m-muh durability and qualuty" and made a totally rational buying decision, you are deluded. spend that money on friends, travel or your girlfriend and don't try to be someone you're not. Just saying, although I anticipate that many might say such a comment is inept on a fashion board directed towards adolescents.

>>7298969
>Burberry, Smith, Dior, Prada, SLP and Dolce&Gabbana
lol

>>7298969
Lol you wear those brands but said you rock $20 jeans and $60 shoes? Please keep lying you poor fuck

>>7298978
yeah I know not exactly the target brands of today's /fa/, but I don't care, just illustrating my point.

>>7298986
where did I say I "rock" those?
I said I still have 'em. I wear them when I do sports alone or something else where clothes don't matter. I only wear "fancy" brands during work or when I do at least work-related stuff (like christmas parties or trips with colleagues or bullshit like that)

>>7298969
>bragging about wearing shit brands and wasting your money on them.
How butthurt are you pleb?

>>7298787
just ask for a gift card

>>7298986
high low is a trend with people that wear high end clothes......did you want to question my brands or did you want to shut the fuck up? cause ill tell you for damn sure that im not wearing some high street apc, acne shit

the cheapest thing im wearing is rag&bone, which is a basic street wear line shown on a real runway

not some bs like apc/acne not part of offical roster poofag shit

enjoy watching your brands shown in a warehouse off off off the main street next to express' runway show lol hoping to trick poorfags

>>7298969

This

>>7299010
You sound like you've got some serious superiority complex maybe losing weight can help?

>>7298787
Tell them to stick that money up their ass and fuck themselves. They gave you a budget, and now they say they won't do it anyway because 'it's irresponsible' or whatever it is. The fact that you were on the phone with them for an hour and a half proves you're a bitch.
>get an email from my mom (at uni)
I think you're lying. You must be a freshman at high school or something.

Youre probably old fat and ugly wearing shit brands to feel better about your tiny dick

>>7299043
I really did break your heart now with that comment, did I not?
don't project, boy. think about why you're angry at me. and if it's because I am more successful than you are, think a little about how you could change that fact. you still got time to turn everything around, you know.

>>7299057
Sieg, you're my favorite trip. Don't stop posting. Ever.

>>7299062
>HEADY SLIMANE
(but you're right)
Burberry had some really nice things around 09-10

>>7299067
burberry and the other brands the guy mentioned are mostly trash, dior and saint laurent simply do not belong on that list

>>7299062
there's nothing wrong with prada, either, as long as you stick with thei leather goods.

and there's certainly nothing wrong with dolce&gabbana. that brand is getting a huge-ass load of hate because many people instantly associate them with shit-tier brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, but as a matter of fact those guys are extremely talented designers with very interesting (yet wearable) designs. Seriously, check out their fashion week shows, their stuff is awesome.

Smith is also pretty cool.

The only of that brands I named that is really shitty is Burberry (sans their trenchcoats, those are cool) - but as a well-known German businessman once said: "it's the fish who must like the worm, not the fisherman". People here just instantly associate Burberry with wealth more than any other brand.

>>7299088
idk i saw one dolce&gabbana show and they have like vests with mickey mouse and shit and lol

>>7299088
Can I fart into your mouth?

>>7299088
>People here just instantly associate Burberry with wealth more than any other brand.
wow, really?

>>7298883
That's disgusting..

>>7299088
> extremely talented designers with very interesting (yet wearable) designs
>their stuff is awesome
yeah, saw a few shows, doubt that they are talented
>People HERE just instantly associate Burberry with wealth more than any other brand
not really, no...

>>7299093
I was mostly referring to their classic menswear stuff from the mainline, because that's what I (have to) wear. Mickey Mouse sounds a lot like D&G or something.

>>7299095
no. also I suppose you'd have to travel a long way to do that and it probably wouldn't be worth the effort, but anyway: no.

>>7299100
yeah - Germany.
You know we got Joop and Lagerfeld but still, noveau riches here go all batshit insane about a brand like Burberry. I remember when I was still at Uni, about half of all the people wore those ugly-ass scarves (not even the nice ones, but that nova-check shit).
It's probably because it's visibly branded without being overly offensive and people think "why spend money on that when other people don't realize what brand it is". Same goes for Polo Ralph Lauren.

christopher bailey is quite good, in some instances

you guys are talking about burberry ondon and D&G diffusion

you guys honestly don't belive me when i say that we californians and those who reside in new york have accsess to runway brands at B&M stores not diffusion crap

>>7298969
>Burberry
>U$1050 trenchcoat

>>7299045
dude you actually have to post your uc stuff i love uc so much

Then maybe that's whats wrong with it. And it's from kohls, so its shit quality

>>7299223
>tfw I say "nothing" when my parents ask me what I want for christmas because that's the only day of the year when I see my parents and my brothers all at once and that's the best present I could ever get.

i don't know, is it?
why don't you get it?

>>7298797
Damn. Some people have so much street smarts. It makes me feel like shit for not being able to think of stuff like that. Not OP btw

>>7298830
600 minus 250 is not 450. It's 350. Jesus Christ, /fa/.

>>7298787
Because you *are* an idiot for wanting it, and you really *don't* know the value of things. You're just like all the other spoiled kids on here spending your parents money. Grow the fuck up.

>>7299245

>>7299237
The leather is shit, the reason leather jackets have a bad name is people think you can get them for cheap but, really can't. The cheapest you can go with a leather jacket is a schott.

>>7299286
allsaints

>>7299245
I do the same thing. My brother won't come home for christmas this year though, because he'll be with his fat disgusting gf (290 lbs, 5'8). Can't even imagine being alone with my parents on christmas eve.

goddamn. if my brother didn't come home for christmas (at least the feast at my grandma's the day after christmas eve) I'd kick his ass. even more so if he did it for some girl.
make the best of it, try to have some fun with your parents.

my mum gave us men a Wii as a christmas present 3 years ago. Since then, it's a christmas tradition to play golf and sword duel on christmas eve. I love that.
