You people are off your collective rockers if you think many, if not most of the labels you covet, regardless of country of manufacture, don't attempt to constantly lower/maintain the lowest possible costs of production.

lol burnello cucinelli?

i think a lot of the "true" luxury brands actually do use luxury materials

Uh yes we are aware they are trying to make a profit if that's what you're asking.

I just ordered a pair of these brown Alden boots from Alden of Carmel - $425.00 - made in Massachusetts.

Size 11 leather BoO x Sperry on Ebay

$10 starting bid. Not my size or I'd be going for these for sure.

The is a big difference between the cost of a goods sold (direct materials, labor and overhead) and end profit (admin, marketing and other expenses). A pair of jeans may have a goods cost of 12 dollars and a total cost of 50 dollars. You can never look at goods cost alone, or you would see these companies making 500% profits.

looks like they were only 265 at barneys once upon a time

The link on ebay that directs you to the Context website is the wrong one.

These boots are not the boiled wool or nylon ones they have at Context.
As the above post mentioned, it's cheaper leather boots.

But for $10 starting bid, I am tempted to buy them.
I just really really hate that stupid "Made in China" print that is so visible on the tongue of the shoe.

heres updated link: http://www.barneys.com/Boat%20Boot/1...efault,pd.html they still got some in stock dunno if i should get em

 

[WhoKnewI]

They're not a bad pair of boots. Its really up to you weather they're worth the money. I got them because I liked the way they look.

 

[ppllzz]

hows the comfort?

 

[WhoKnewI]

It's ok. Nothing to write home about. There is no break in period and they fit true to size.

what's the general consensus on wearing these boat boots with the jeans/pants tucked in? yes or no?

personally i think it looks good if the tuck is not overly tidy. my wife doesn't want me to tuck because she actually thinks it looks too thuggish. but then again she is clad in gucci/cavalli/prada head to toe...
