So has anyone panic buying denim with all of the tariff drama going on?

I panic bought a pair of warehouse 1001xx, that should be my last denim purchase for a while. I got them from Takeoff and they shipped incredibly quick!

Yesterday I unexpectedly came across a pair of jeans that I’d had my eye out for years on Yahoo, ended up winning the auction so we’ll see if there are any tariff impacts. 

Isn't there still the "de-minimis" rule active?

The word panic implies some degree of irrational response. 

I know someone who is generally a very rational and restrained top economist. They just bought a car they were going to wait a few years on, specifically because of current events. Generally that would be quite out of character. 

For my part my EMS parcel came last week without trouble (which was not a reaction buy), there is one other one still making it’s way through - my curiosity about the Silverstone Groundalls WW2 pair couldn’t withstand the chaos. I don’t expect any issue there either. Right now the de minimis exemption is active but is scheduled to end May 2 for good from China and Hong Kong and there aren’t concrete plans to end it from elsewhere though that is certainly on the tale. 

Good chance for those in the US our money will be worth less and the jeans price will be higher pretty soon though. The real issue is the stability of the dollar. Who knows what will happen but buckle up!

I think so, but honestly who knows if it will be by the time they ship to me at this rate.
