Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)? - Page 2085

I'll probably set my max bid at $70 for that cardigan but what is "wrong" about it anyway? Please enlighten me.

 

There isn't anything wrong with how it looks in my opinion. The issue is that it's probably poorly constructed and made from inferior fabrics. From my experience, JCrew produces a lot of shitty products that won't last for even 6 months without the stitching coming apart or other malfunctions. This is especially true of their knitwear. Save up some money and go buy yourself something a little better, whether that's from Pringle of Scotland, SNS Herring, Loro Piana, etc. is up to you.

All knitwear purchased by SW&D posters must be Stephan Schneider. All exceptions must be approved in advance.

I am the knitwear arcadia gatekeeper.

if you buy that shitty dip dye instead of an sns you deserve to be banned.

for $70 that jcrew cardigan is fine, assuming it's 100% wool and will fit you properly. you'll also become conditioned to the prices of things people on sf buy. buy less, buy better concept. i bought my sns stark for $200. if you told me 3 years ago I'd be buying $200 sweaters I'd have laughed at you. but, it's so well and i wear it so much that you quickly become accustomed to the higher price. before that I used to buy 3 or 4 $50 hoodies a year, which, in retrospect, seems ridiculous.

I dunno I probably wouldn't pay $70 for that jcrew knit. I have had a few jcrew knits in my halcyon days and they all ended up being really shit

hey now, i cop when i can.

just wait until this summer...when i've got a job...

There's so many sweaters on ebay it's ridiculous. $70 should buy something really, really nice... I wouldn't pay more than $25 for that jcrew cardi if I liked it.

mikey finna shut the mall down this summer

J Crew has absolutely no resale value

was looking for shawl cardigan recommendations and came across this: http://hypebeast.com/forums/general-fashion-discussion/182113 (see the responses). so at least my taste is slightly better

Well at least you have a sense of humor. 

 

Look on eBay for some mid-level SF approved brands you like; you'd be amazed what you can get with $70 and some patience.

what the fuck hypebeast has a forum now?
