Personally, I predominately wear either A.P.C, or Acne jeans. Both fit better and last longer than brands like Nudie, in terms of dry denim or washed denim.


I don't spend a lot of money on sneakers, but I do on leather boots and shoes. I limit myself to very few pairs-- but the few that I have are quite pricey
 
I don't really wear diesel that much anymore, but they are considerably better than brands like Buffalo, Guess, etc in terms of cuts, denim quality, and dies/washes. These brands charge like $120 per-- probably the biggest ripoffs in the denim business


Now, I agree: $250 for Diesels is a lot, and I personally wouldn't spend that much because I'm not a huge fan of the brand anymore. But, in all honesty, I can only think of Levi's as a popular jean brand that is good quality, fits fashionably, AND is cheaper-- of course, the sophistication of washes you're getting with Levi's isn't comparable.

Yeah I agree with a lot of things. cuts and washes are the design trademarks, which make then unique, and they are good at it. But its not the denim. A friend of mine who was working for a company operating from Syria and Lebanon back when I had more contact to him told me once: They get the denim with the cuts from India and Bangladesh. They are worth less than $20 at that point. Then they take care of the washes(Back then it was done via sandblasting, nowadays it's via laser I think due to health circumstances) and the wash added less than $10 in value and cost. Then they sew on the trademark icons and they sell the pieces $100 upwards. Replay is one brand if I remember correctly. Don't know though if it's still popular in Germany or the US. But it's the same denim. All you pay for is the commercial costs, and brands. Maybe in cases they have a more stable design in seams, but I can't confirm that from my personal experience with both $50 brands and $200 brands. And I don't think the technique of how you apply seams is rocket science. Seems easy to copy.
You just have to ask yourself. Do I enjoy the commercials that much and wanna represent myself with a brand thats pricy. Just a thing of payroll and priorities.
I have heard and seen great results of tailors in South East Asia. When I go there I'll definately get a couple custom made suits. That would be my "luxury clothing" experience.
 
Still can't believe we actually got him.

Also, this shirt is BAWSE. I need to find me one.

Yep agreed. I've been looking through all the Press Conferences for the draftees, and I can safely say that the Jazz Press Conference for Burke, Gobert & Neto was by FAR the best.

Why?

Because it was the only one where the ownership, the GM, and the Coach were all there, and the importance of "Family" was emphasized.

- If you look at Detroit - only Joe Dumars was there, lecturing us on how he kept picking up KCP a secret. Great, but who cares?

- The Kings - Vivek lectured on about how the number #7 was his lucky numbers, and how Barnes was picked #7, Curry was picked #7, etc (Vivek used to work with GSW).

- The Wolves - the owner wasn't there, just the GM.

- The Cats - wow, talk about the saddest Press Conference in the history, ...

.. and so on, and so forth.

I wouldn't be surprised the Burke actually was "touched" by how involved the ownership is to this team and the family atmosphere. Trey is a good Christian and he often emphasized the fact that his parents have a loving & supportive relationship. Heck he brought a bus load of 60 friends and family to NY for the draft day celebration!!

He is a keeper folks. I think he recognized a great Organization when he sees one. Here's hoping he's a Jazz man for life!! For Realz!!!

And as sappy as it may have been, did anyone else interview the draftee's father, like Locke did? He would have even talked with Burke's mom had she wanted.
