So the basic plaid overshirt - cotton / polyester blend costs the same as the 100% cotton japanese flannel with complex leather quilting on back? Ok. :facepalm:

Exactly. This is what happens when you let companies know you're willing to pay ridiculously high and unjustified prices.

This is what I've been saying. People should start being happy for those who were able to get what they wanted instead of feeling bad for themselves that they didn't get it. We go overboard with our clothing sometimes. We're willing to shell out $475 for a jacket that is much thinner than one that is thicker and comprised of on-par, if not better, quality. That leads me to wonder: Are we paying for quality or are we paying for the high price? It seems like we often see price as quality, and that does nothing but convince brands to hike up prices that would have been otherwise much lower if we hadn't been willing to fall for unjustified prices in the first place.

I love JE + Co, but let's be unbiased here.


Enough with the preaching

Well. That was stupid. Tried adding midnight rue medium since 11:01. And keeps saying sold out. Lame. Now I'm
Not just gonna
Order a dune tee by itself. So that excitement died real quick.

You know this is not a limited release, right? You should have just waited for the Rue hoodie to be restocked so you can avoid paying for shipping by buying all of the items you want at the same time. Don't be so impatient. You still have tons of clothes in your wardrobe. If you don't, it doesn't take hundreds of dollars to wear clothes.

Shipping is $5. Stop acting like it's a big deal.

People buying $230 sweatshirts and $70 t shirts complaining about $5. Unless you are international, it's a joke.

Money is money. Money shouldn't be important, but what should or shouldn't be is often what is or what isn't. It's the reason why many people aren't living in pleasant conditions. It's the reason for grief. With that five dollars, you could pay for a meal for a person in need or you could pay for small snacks for five different people.

I love that JE has $5 shipping, way better than a lot of sites that have it for 8-10$. But $5 will buy me breakfast. Free shipping ftw. Getting rich for dummies, every penny adds up.

Back to relevant JE material. New stuff is solid. Coming out with different deliveries is an awesome idea for both JE and customers. Makes it easier to buy in portions rather than bulk all at once.
Looking forward to restocks and delivery 2

Are we looking at one drop per month? Or more frequent?
