Nice Guys Finish Last…Sometimes

Edited by Corey Moran

Now I don’t agree with the not wearing leather thing because it is my favorite thing to wear, but I will say I have to support these new boots from YMC and April 77, mostly because they are two of my favorite brands. These great looking new boots are 100% synthetic suede, and have a leather substitute for a sole as well. Who would have thought a faux leather boot could look so good? Don’t quote me on that PETA!

Comme On!

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Thanks to the non-existent Mike & Chris sample sale yesterday (can you tell I’m still bitter about that?), I didn’t stand a chance trying to snag the Comme des Garcons for H&M leftovers. This morning, I decided to check out eBay to see exactly how much people were reselling the limited edition collection for. Take a look at the prices…these people are crazy. With the economy the way it is, do people honestly think someone is going to cough up $600 for a typical black pea coat? For that price you could buy TWO of the awesome YMC belted coats from Oak!  Nearly $115 for a simple black wallet? Give it a month or so and the zipper on that wallet will be broken. Personally, I’d rather save that money and splurge on a Marc by Marc zip around wallet that will actually last me several years! And sorry Corey, I know you love your polka-dot tee, but buying something so simple for $100 on eBay is ridiculous! 

I would really like to know how much these pieces actually cost to make, how many 4-year-olds were forced to sew them in sweat shops and why on earth some people would re-buy these items for such absurd prices.
