I really want this blazer, but it's about half of my savings. Should I do it? I am asking unironically. I can make that money back in a few weeks, but I know that once I buy this blazer, even if I decide to resell it, I probably won't even see 30% of what I spent on the jacket.

Shop for one in the women's section for 1/10th the price at most even if you have to alter it. Idk why men's don't but women's blazers offer thin, soft fabrics that flow and nicer cuts

Not sure how the women's fits and their only size guide is just the generic basic sizing (ex. IT 36, 38, 40, etc.), which doesn't help. Buying and returning is costly and I've asked a few times for measurements, but they don't reply. Brand is dead

That model looks exactly like me, but I am 5 '9. Could I make it in the industry?

HELL NO.

No piece of clothing is worth half of your savings. These clothes are for rich people. They are for people who see 2 grand how you see 20 dollars.

As other anons have mentioned, look for cheaper alternatives. Get one used, get a similar fitting blazer for cheaper. Like i get it. Theres this weird yearning for it. Like, you want to own a high end piece of clothing and have it/treasure it but once you buy the blazer and the effect wears off after a week it will just be another jacket you own and wear like once per month. You will have a 2000 dollar piece of material regret in your closet and will look back on your decision to buy it in a year as a huge retarded mistake. Also believe me, and this may not matter to you but absolutely nobody will able to tell that your 2 grand jacket isnt just some other jacket from the thrift store but you. You wont get compliments on it, you wont get people thinking you're effay, its just a loose fitting black blazer. It isnt a statement piece, you're paying for the materials and the fit. Like i said, these are rich people clothes.

I swear this place, insta and fashion yt channels rot people's brain to the point where they make decisions like this and think they can justify making absolutely retarded purchases.

There is probably something else in your life that much deserves 2 grand being spent on it, whether you know it or not. Hell, 2 grand can buy an okay used car.

Looks like a really boring, generic blazer. You could get one just like it at any thrift store.

Yes I get that but I have a slightly better face. Am I really that much inferior than him as a model for being shorter?

nigger u gotta stop think good model = attractive person body matters 100x more so the height disadvantage is huge & the face improvement is irrelevant bro sry. dw being a model is shit anyways dood

Face isn't really that important in modeling (actually most models are kinda "ugly") what really matters is the height

At that price point, I'd rather spend it on something more interesting, like a CCP Deadend blazer.

I have bad news for you anon, that is not a blazer. Even your pic says it's a jacket. You should leave this board and come back after you realize your mistake.

There’s was this video with a guy wearing same fit created with expensive/cheap clothes. I didn’t notice until people pointed it out, but expensiv one looked as such because overall tailoring seemed sharp whether cheap one looked somewhat lump. My point is that even though sometimes expensive clothes may look cheap, they might be worth it in other cases. Another thing is that even if 2k blazer is totally worth it it doesn’t mean you have to spend that much.
