sellout
you are going to cause a disruption of the knit supply and demand curve throwing it out of equilibrium
and besides, you'll be back...they always come back when they need to be wrapped in alpaca womblike warmth
ps. I have 2x as many as you

That is over the top even for McQueen. Most dramatic epicurean knit evar?Originally Posted by AR_Six
PS Don't kop jack me if that's what you were thinking.
Just bought presents for everybody for christmas =P I couldn't afford to if I wanted lol.
You guys really think its that ugly? I personally like it, Idk if or how id wear it, but its pretty sweet.
And im not real great on the timelines of this stuff but I think McQueen died before that sweater was released on runway, before it was designed idk.

While I agree that it is expensive and I wouldn't buy it at that price. I don't think the price of many garments we buy is directly correlated to the labor + materials that go into them. That and I don't know if there is a special technique to do it, but I can't imagine knitting a skull pattern is easy lol.
Its like those Tom Ford jeans arguement. No they aren't directly worth $990 dollars, but people will buy them at that price

Regarding the pattern - you'd be surprised. Knitting is very systematic. I understand what you're saying about the price not being directly correlated, but we're talking 10 times the price of some of the stuff we like here. 5-600 dollars for a sweater is not crazy at all. You can buy excellent merino wool at a yarn shop for about 150 dollars and spend a good 15-20 hours knitting the sweater (that's on the medium weight side). If I were to buy a hand made sweater for this price (5-600), and if the yarn were to be superior, I wouldn't feel ripped off at all.

No Man Walks Alone - Informale Jungle Jacket - $655 A classic military piece revised to slot seamlessly into a sharp wardrobe. It's surprising how many details feel directly lifted from the Vietnam War-era design, like those iconic pockets and shorter button placket, yet the jacket reads more like a sport coat with how Informale tweaked things. -
