I don't give a shit...i buy it because I like it - for some of the reasons fuuma lists, for the same reason i like a rolex instead of a casio, but mostly because it makes me feel good..
shoot me
I echo this statement - although it's nice to know how a particular piece was made, and the ethos behind it.
I talk as someone who has an opinion and has given it some thought, you don't need to subscribe to it but would you really be interested in a designer if the core of his discourse was about elitism and rejection of it? Sounds fucking boring.
Just so everyone knows that I'm not a boring guy, I don't have any contention that the utmost core and seed of Poell is elitism and rejection of it of course it's richer than this, it's only one aspect I've observed.
you gotta hand it to fark. those are really great photos. as a man that can't photograph sh*t i really appreciate it. i also wish i had purchased those ma+ pants. that ripstop material is great. super stiff but breaks in nicely...
dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective
And honestly, to jump from F**k-bashing to Ace-bashing makes me wonder what the recent bloodlust/witchhunt is all about?
S.A.D., maybe?
After rolling through the past few pages, I'd say this sums up everything that's wrong with WAYWT currently.
Bummer, are you really so sensitive that you feel like critiquing a fit or jacket equates to fucking bashing, equating it with bloodlust?
People are discussing the jacket. Part of the jacket entails how it's worn, how it fits, etc. Snaf had serious praise for it and a few others disagreed. There is some intelligent discourse going on during pieces of the debate and although I'm not a mod, I don't see anything wrong with that. In fact, as long as it's done well, that's part of the value of the WAWYT...it promotes intelligent discussion (at times.)
But for fuck's sake...people have the right to disagree or agree without starting an all-out war and without justifying a comparison to the situation that went on early about Fark.
I think CCP debates are by far the funniest. It sparks passion and hatred and love all at the same time. Very few remain unbiased in regard to them. But intelligent discussions shouldn't leave anyone with a black eye or a bruised ego. I like it when the heat goes up a bit around here as long as the flames don't start lapping at the ceiling.

Wow. Calm down a bit now.
Are you sure i'm the one being sensitive?
It was meant as a lighthearted joke, a bit of humor to point out what I saw as people getting nit-picky in a way that I thought was a bit beside the point. (At least for me..)
I think if you read the whole post, this is pretty clear.

Hey Lowrey, so you're not having the issue seenmy did with his black dipped. Where the paint peels off to reveal a Chuck Taylor?
Nice jacket and bag. What bag is it?
Fark.. those are great ma+ pants. But that fabric ain't werkin with those stripes.
^just a joke. But they do have a similar look when the black paint is removed. Apparently white latex is used then they're dyed black again. Or something like that.

Breaking up a bit of this tension with this hilarious sock tan . That's what I get for wearing the same length socks with shorts to the gym for the passed 6 years lol.
