I hadn't appreciated the scale of destroyed stock needed to remain 'exclusive'

I can't say I'm surprised. But also, why the hell do we (willingly) pay so much for this ****?

(I already know the answer, Fok).

Lol. This is one of those discussions that we have nearly cyclically. At the birth of the forum, I believe that we were discussing it in the context of Louis Vuitton.

Margiela "shirt"
$1095

Could probably find a Dazed article by a Central St Martins student about how this is actually a deep social commentary on the overbearing demands of modern 9-5 life and London's runaway property market that leaves you with nothing, not even the shirt on your back.

Less is more, or something.

Every time a store does a mark down, they should cut an equal percentage off the garment.

25% off? Comes with just one shirt sleeve.

50% off? Only one pant leg.

90% off? You just get the placket.

PSA Engineered Garments Vans slipons re-released today at Need Supply, Bodega, Loit and probably somewhere else. Fit is TTS this year.

@ChetB true to size for vans, or others?
I’m an 11.5 in vans but 12 in most other things.

I assume true to your Brannock size. But this is just a guess. They capitalized it on their blog post

Which I assume means the fit is slightly different this year. In previous years, people were told to go half a size down.
