Most of those listings are so old! I have a feeling it’s a bunch of people trying to get out of a bad decision. Reminds me of a pricier trendy brand like Ed Hardy or Von Dutch. Stay off Grailed. That site should just call it as it is and drop the “G”.
Yeah I think that whole look has become very passé or cliche here in the US, and has been for nearly 20 years. Kind a like of like True religion jeans, which cost then, what a pair of IH jeans will run you today, despite the True Religions being vastly inferior in every single measurable way imaginable. But you did get to wear a chandelier across your ***…which is nice.
Just get the stuff you can get for cheap I’d say, if you really like it.Priciest ones are old but stuff sells. I mean, never forget...

I already got interest for the belt buckle, before I even bought it. I posted it to FB for authenticity check and couple of dudes DM'd me how much I paid and if I'd be interested to move it.
We'll see. Hunting and flipping is where the excitement lies. Besides, I need to do something about my summer game! Plus it's a really gorgeous belt buckle and I've been looking for one for 10 years. I'm sick and tired of the boring heritage square buckle belts & they aren't even that much cheaper, considering how ****py they all look.
Meanwhile...
Not mine, my brother is also getting into LW, i made the mistake of sending him a link to a good deal in his size last year... Now even i am envious of this one:
Me too
Lol - I had (still have maybe?) a pair of Rock & Republic jeans that say "Rock" in purple stitching across the *** pockets. Nearly new condition because even 15 years ago I kinda thought they were over the top so I never wore them. I might still have them buried in the back of a storage closet...anyone interested?
What do you think is the weight (oz) of this leather?
I don't see this as any less out of cliche than cuffed jeans, plaid shirts and motorcycle leather jackets but there exist weirdos still wearing that stuff.
.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
This^ That’s what I was trying to get at too. There’s a plethora of sellers marking stuff at beyond ridiculous prices and it just sits there as a placeholder for an eternity.Very true that these things are all just personal taste!
Mine personally has changed, so that is what impacts my buying (and selling/donating). I'm just a different type of weirdo now
But I suppose if we are discussing the market value for certain styles of clothes in relation to an asking price on Grailed or Ebay, etc., it would be relevant to discuss whether the overall demand for particular items/styles is up or down. That should factor into the true market-based assessment of value/price.
There's a fine line between fake aging and convincing distressing. Initially I went with a washed hide only (no ageing, only beeswax finish) but I changed my mind when Thedi posted a pic of a beautifully distressed green mc jacket on Instagram. I told him that's what I wanted but even more subtle. Those browns peeking through look great together with the brown zipper tape and mouton.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they're individual studs. It looks like they're welded together? I saw them on some jacket when I visited their store and I thought it looked really cool.
You’re going to have to change jackets on an hourly basis just to get through them all in a month!
