Aritzia girls spend $5-10K, but if you do that for 2-3 years, don't you have enough for a decade. I guess they buy trendy pieces that go out of style

That's out of my tax bracket sorry dai lo.



I worked in fashion apparel for a bit now and accumulated a nice collection of free high quality pieces. If I had the money, I would pay $500-1,250 for jackets / bottoms.

The quality is insane compared to mall stuff. Plus most of them are no-logo so you're incognito

While not always worth it in a lot of cases definitely worth it to spend the money. Let's not even talk high end stuff even when I shifted to buying Lulu Lemon vs your regular sports apparel brands my Lulu stuff for the same type of item would last 3-5 times longer. Of course there are some items I don't and won't like $300 or more on a blank no logo tshirt I'm happy buying 6 x $50 ones instead which to some people $50 is already expensive.

Badhobz 01-06-2025 02:26 PM
rightfully so, anyone spending money on ready to wear pieces from these fashion houses is utterly insane! 7k-10k for a thin little polyester dress? how about 1.2k for a T white t shirt

ill stick to my Costco shit thank you!

GLOW 01-06-2025 02:26 PM
i'm ok with cheap mall stuff, if i accidently get mustard on my shit while eating a hot dog, or splash spaghetti sauce while eating, no harm no foul.
ruin a pair of $20 old navy jeans, no problem i'll go get another :lol

plus i won't feel bad when i get fat an no longer fit it :lol

:okay:

I’d say 95% of my wardrobe is Lulu and it’s just all unmarked long sleeves, T’s and pants. Some people think it’s crazy to spend $65-$80 on a t shirt but when it lasts 4 years and looks pretty much new the entire time plus feels better than the cheaper alternative, I’ll never switch back

The annoying part is when you get something new/newish and inadvertently damage it. During new years I was stoking a fire at a friends place right before we were about to leave and caught my 2-3 year old arteryx jacket on the edge of the door, melted a nice hole in it. While I got 2-3 years out of it it was still in perfect condition moving forward but now I just put a stupid hole in an $800 jacket will try to get it sewn back together but is just like this ugggggg moment that I wouldn’t have in some cheap hoodie etc. FailFish

I did the same with a virtually brand new ski jacket was lit af and roasting marshmallows and in my attempt to put the fire out on the marshmallow flung the flaming ball of goo right onto the shoulder of my jacket… that was an expensive marshmallow.

I’m of the mind though that if you can’t afford to go out and instantly replace said garment without a second thought, then it’s quite a risk to be wearing something so expensive

It's crazy because I have met close to 0 people in my social circles that has spent $1.2K for a t-shirt. It's crazy how far away our tax brackets are!

But also why I drive old Honda and y'all got new Lexus + mcmansion combo

They raked my 10,000 too, just part of the game

Badhobz 01-06-2025 04:21 PM
Not my circle, which consists of prostitutes, pimps, and thugs… but my wife’s circle who are some snobby ass HK bitches. They spend money just to waste it and the more lavish and stupid the item the bigger the clout.

I'm trying to converge the image Hondaracer has put in our minds of water touching hangage in the seated position, overweight beer drinking/eating and Lulu lemon clinging clothes and it's not going well.

Hondaracer 01-06-2025 06:57 PM
They are all pretty regular clothes :lol

Man tha accidently damage hurts!

The bonus with some more expensive brands too is their warranty. Lulu has or had (i heard they changed it a bit) a warranty where it's lifetime essentially. I've brought back 2 pairs of shorts and 1 pair of pants because some wear and tear and some seems started breaking slightly. They took all 3 back and gave me the same credit to get whatever I wanted.

Holy... That must have hurt. Sorry for your loss.

I was just at Arcteryx today looking at Parkas. I would die if that happened to me.

Go buy your Dino skeleton jackets from the outlet in Seattle. I got a beta jacket for 300 usd a few years ago. The same dumb ass jacket in canadurrr was over 1000.

I got a zeta shell down there with goretex pro for 150usd too.

I went down my mom last month (she calls it the Fish bone brand lol), and the prices at the outlet here are better by quite a bit after currency conversion.

I couldn't stomach the prices, but my mom went on a mini shopping spree FeelsBadMan

I lucked out on a sale for my Beta AR at the NY outlet a few years ago. $200 US.

Arcteryx also has a good "functional" warranty. My Atom jacket cuffs had started to wear out, and after bringing it into Arcteryx to inquire about getting it fixed, they ended up giving me a full retail value credit. I replaced it with the hooded Atom jacket.

I still have a bunch of $10 shirts from Threadless that I bought a dozen years ago or so that are juuuust starting to get worn out. I wear them a lot too.

not sure in Van since HQ is there, but in major malls in GTA, they will repair.. If you're willing to drop off, they will WASH your arcteryx for you... i cant wait for this season to be over and give him all my collection to wash.
