VALUE GENERAL

Look at this link: http://www.ssense.com/men/product/rick_owens/black_alpaca-merino_blend_knit_beanie/78189

There is no way that's worth $260 UNLESS you're paying for the name/it turns into a backpack.

Now, the question here is; have any of you /fa/gs who have spent good money on a product found it to be worthwhile? Like a pair of boots lasting twice as long as a more expensive pair, etc.

When are you paying for the quality and when for the name? Post your experiences with each.

My opinion is that tees, underwear, socks and tanks should be cheap, but that jeans, shoes, and jackets deserve more money for more quality.

>pic related, are these worth the money or are they just fuccboi at $242?

>45% acrylic, 40% baby alapaca, 15% merino wool. Dry clean.

I bought the shit in OP for something like 80-90e last year. They seem to be rather well put together, no quality issues there. They are also durable and easy to clean. 242$ is stretching it but i'd say cop.

Okay, but why does my beanie need to be made out of merino and Alpaca?

Does it have vastly superior moisture wicking or does it keep my brain the perfect temperature?

Can't touch that, I'll admit

*Wikipedia says that alpaca fur

"does not retain water, is thermal even when wet and can resist solar radiation effectively."

I guess I have my answer :<

You don't actually know that.

Just saying.
