Everyone love each other.
Hey, I love my wife and kids, and we get to argue now and then too.
Did you happen to notice the name of the album: "Torturing my friends for a fit." 'Nuff said.
The decision to stop at $1,500 vs. $2,200, or $160,000 vs. $300,000, is a personal and subjective decision that largely defies logic. The notion that it is “rational” to spend $1,400 on an Aero Vicenza or $1,700 on a Good Wear, but it is irrational to spend $2,000 on a Himel, is comical. All of these expenditures are irrational. The only issue is the limits of one's irrationality. For me, personally, there is no meaningful difference between these figures – in other words, the additional few hundred dollars has no impact on my life. Therefore, as between these options, I buy what I like, and I do not attempt to justify or rationalize it. Rather, I accept that I am being irrational and enjoy the fruits of my irrationality. I work hard for the money and I damn well deserve to enjoy it.
Is this jacket a new design or one that existed before? I've tried to read and comprehend this last batch of posts, but really, I don't.
And for me, the guys making the jackets can battle it out - I'm not going to come in here and fight for someone I don't know pretending to know who started first and who is copying who. I can't imagine anyone even buying that jacket, but maybe it's a popular style in other cultures? Anyhow, defending anyone here when we don't know all the facts seems crazy. And unless this is an original and new design, I just don't care.
Boy, this has really transcended into the absurd. To call Himel's pricing "exorbitant and totally unjustifiable", when others in the market are in the same neighborhood, and those in the fashion market sell at 2X to 5x these prices, at best seems only to be a cheap shot. Accusing him of theft without the slightest proof is unbecoming of this board. How long did you think it took David to design this jacket? He just threw it together in the last two weeks because the 5 or 6 new jackets he was going to unveil weren't enough? At the same time finishing up his other new models?
it might be a lost in translation thing, but over this part of the world 'upstart' is a perjorative term. I think Simon would see SJC more as a 'start up'. Every company is a start-up at some time, but not all are upstarts.
IT seems two different companies have taken inspiration from the same vintage jacket. No harm, no foul in my book.
It's a vintage design, from way back when - the original photo appears a page or two ago.
I genuinely had no idea. Rather, I equate “upstart” with “start-up” and did not intend anything pejorative.
Click on someone's name. Choose "ignore". Done.I hate lawyering and arguing when I have spare time. I do enough of that for living. Is there a way to put people on "ignore" here? Nice jackets, I like the SJC version better, small details. My price point would be about 100 dollars
