Firstly, my comment wasn't meant to offend anyone.
But I think it doesn't necessarily mean to show off stuff. I actually don't have any "real" persons here to share my obsession of well-done goods with. No one that I know has any idea what my jacket costs, my jeans or my belt. (And they'd probably think it's ridiculous, which it perhaps is!) I think and that is what it is to me, without having to be a show off, to wear "better" and unique stuff. And I know and see that a lot of people recognize that it's good stuff that I'm wearing without me having to show it off.
To me it's also the feeling of having something no one else here in my hometown has. I mean, I truly believe that there is no one here having Viberg Boots, not talking about a Diamond Dave leather jacket.
I don't know why I like it, because I don't really feel superior but it still does make me feel good.
However, my obsession got a bit milder. Or let's put it like this. I have been a bit disappointed by the quality of a lot of goods that I bought that I began to go back to some good ole products, that I knew are not really handmade or anything but I know will last.
I was on the hunt for the holy grail chino but I always had to lower my sights regarding design, fit and/or construction. And I didn't see the reason to purchase a pair of pants for 250$ when having to make restraints.
So, if there is anyone out there with a suggestion for a crispy, rather slim-fitting and affordable pair of chinos, I'm all ears.
