    • I think it’s probably the later. Seems like it anyways. 
    • I had a couple of Fuct tees in the early to mid 90s.. the Goodfellas one (not sure what happened to that) and the Subway one with the guy holding a gun and the cowering dude with the big fro.. i wore the latter to such an extent (being a sweaty skateboarder) the underarms were akin to the texture of a wax jacket.. when it came out of the wash, they were so stiff and cardboardy they hurt my pits! He's^^ done well to maintain a living off the brand without selling out (if that was his objection).. but who's wearing Fuct these days? .. it's easy enough to create a cutting edge label for teens and 20somethings when you're a cool af 20 something yourself.. your customer base likes the things you like.. not so easy dressing 20 somethings when you're 50+.. i'd look even more tragic wearing a 90s era Fuct tee than i currently do wearing 'superdenim approved middle-aged dad uniform' Supreme was cool af in the mid-90s before it blew up, it was underground, high quality, MiA.. apart from Slam, i only knew one store who stocked it so if you wanted a box logo hoodie in the 90s you would have to get the train or drive to a different city.. whereas nowadays, anyone with enough cash can have anything they like. The trajectory (or lack of) regarding some brands is crazy, It wasn't that long ago that North Face who would share retail space with Rab, Lowe Alpine and Mountain Equipment.. making the transition from outdoor gear (with forays into mountaineering kit) into streetwear collabs .. but what followed was a swift decline into what can only be described as a standard part of school uniform for the normcore kids.. those parents of yore who would have bought their kid a school jacket from C&A are now buying their kids a North Face jacket!? $$$s aside.. I bet he's glad Fuct didn't become affiliated with Hypebeast culture.. i often wonder what happened to all the hype-kids..? if they were 20 at it's peak in 2005-8, they will be pushing 40 now with kids and families of their own.. i'm sure they're not sat around the breakfast table in faux-fur leopard print supreme cap and purple camo bapehead hoodie.. have they just migrated onto mature hype brands like Rick Owens, Balenciaga and Palm Angels or have they reverted back to the highstreet..? You forget how lame mainstream fashions was in the 90s.. if you look at audience members in old episodes of Jerry Springer or Oprah the clothing and hairstyles were beyond conservative.. or over here, Bullseye is a perfect example of what the normies were wearing back them.. what the polyester fuck! As ubiquitous as the hoodie has been for the last 30yrs.. before the mid-90s, here in the UK.. folks didn't often wear hooded sweatshirts, the older generation still don't.. (i haven't owned one for 15 years) yet under 50, the hoodie can probably be found in 90% of peoples wardrobes.. anywho that's my incoherent musings for today.. I'd better get some work done!
