wtf does "quality" mean when it comes to clothes?

 

anyone really know that?

 

depends on the context of someone's "quality" question... often, it's a very vague and ambiguous question asked... what are they referring to?

fit? fabric? finish? country of manufacture? outdoor performance? production labor hours?  perceived value vs. price markup?  

 

"aye wats the quality like on da new supreme pullover"

"it sucks, it's made in china, wish it was made in the usa"

 

"what's the quality like for the new saint laurent denim?"

"doesn't seem like the quality is there, hedi's using thin denim now.  old dh denim was higher quality..."

 

"what's the quality like on kirkland tees?"

"they're thick and great.  sturdy collars, and not too short"

 

"any word on quality of the new uniqlo ultra stretch denim?"

"really comfy and i got them on sale!"

 

 

quality is the new luxury

Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster is a pretty solid book and i highly recommend it  

 

i wish there were more things like kite patch on kickstarter / indiegogo and less #menswear startups, apps, games and kony 2012 style documentaries
 

the "consumer-fication" of the tech startup world is truly nauseating.

 

i thought this was a well-written article:

"Silicon Valley’s Youth Problem"

Last month I bought a pair of acne jeans online. When I got them and wore them for the first time I realized there was a hole so I sent acne an email regarding it. They gave me return instructions and immediately shipped me a new pair before I even got to ship out the return. Just got an email today saying they received my return package and refunded the cash amount to my paypal. So I guess free jeans? â”(´∀`)┌

Man, there's a great-looking Helmut Lang perfecto on eBay at a pretty decent price right now, but the whole "eBay giving" thing means like 10% of the proceeds are going towards Autism Speaks, and I really don't want to support a charity that fucking awful in any way. Guess I'll just start saving for SLP or something  :(

sitting in one of my majors the other day; put on super mentholated eye drops which make me all teary-eyed for a few seconds.
right after applying the professor interrupts his discussion to look at me and ask in a raised voice:

"WHAT IS THAT, IS THAT A MARIJUANA OR SOMETHING?!!!????!!!!"

then he proceeds to laugh in his hoarse old man voice at his quip >_>

am i the only one that thinks it's weird when both sides of the family hang out together?  :ph34r:

 

in my opinion they should only meet on 2 occassions: weddings and funerals

 

is it not an unspoken rule that for things like christmas or a neice's birthday you do 2 events?
