MysticalOrca I bet you smell interesting

Dr Manhattan Only two weeks? I'm not surte that's enough time

Yeah, crafting a jacket to perfection in 2 weeks is a dream, you could craft one maybe in two weeks but it probably takes a lot of time and your only one wouldn't be perfect

I see this as proof that punk is dead.

it a fucking way of life

Best comment ever.

Genius comment

Well, you see, punk is a state of mind. While punk has a subculture, fashion, music, etc. You don't necessarily have to be apart of the subculture, wear the fashion, or even listen to the music to be punk. I don't know if I've explained this well, but I hope I did.

I genuinely think that the individual has a point though. The guy wears the fashion and goes to gigs and if he and his friends do not identify themselves as part of a subculture but admits that punk is the way he lives his life, then he is a part of that subculture by default premise. It's as if you'd say that you eat everything with the exception of all types of meat but you're not a vegetarian. Given your statement, quite literally *anything* can be a state of mind in that case.

Mykola Yefimenko ya punk ass biyach

+TheMasterMI6 blah,blah,blah.

MasterMI6. Nah don't try to explain it away. They contradicted themselves. I'll use Japan as an example since we're here. Wathching NHK World one time, they had a special where they visited various businesses in Tokyo. One was a men's barbershop: barbers decked out in suits, tweed, beards, fucking straight razors etc. Basically everything that's happened in men's style the past 10 years. It was in this shop. The NHK narrator explains: "This barber follows the old ways, but yet refuses to follow the trends..." Get the fuck outta here. They contracted themselves.

MC5 Limited Skills vintage Fender fsho

That vest was definitely customized by him/for him. Go buy yourself a nice fitting denim jacket, cut the sleeves off, and customize it to your liking! Make it something of your own. (:

> ridiculously expensive. For handmade, unique leather jackets of top quality / fabrics? You'd be surprised. There's "high fashion" junk made in factories by Armani and co. that sells for $2000 or even $5000.

> Well they are selling "brand" not the product it self, the brand alone cost more than the leather jacket. They are a small shop, and nobody really knows/recognized that brand in the wild. The people that buy it, buy it because they appreciate the work. If they just wanted to show off they can buy some expensive famous designer shit. > Expensive brands to make pathetic people feel better than others. Spoken like someone who has never met/worked as/or understood craftmanship.

Buzz off poor ass

Kinda worth the price they are asking. Its like a collectors item, as already mentioned a small shop produces them and does so in the way they do. Some things in life you pay for craftsmanship and get a sturdy and reliable product.

Id spend if I had it. One day.. Sooooonnn

Schottt nyc? Wilson leathers ? Aero ?

What exactly don't you get? They also have a story / personal angle.

bartolocasanova That's hiw animes are made ....smh

Hugo Foulquier either Minecraft or a song from oneohtrix point never's rifts

Not everyone is inspired by Hedi

But yea the aesthetic is somewhat similar but also really diff

Punk started in the UK and they only believed in "Anarchy ". The Punk scene is the music and the fashion. Vivienne Westwood literally created the punk look

its called a preference and style the aged punk aesthetic is actually quit under appreciated

@@Chrisjbennett89 Aged or distressed!

Carlos Castillo I know right it looks like someone with depression going to buy a jacket

the jacket is the better investment, youll dump your car in 5 years, the jacket will outlive you

@@ourcollectiveinsanity but a car is something i can enjoy everyday and i use it to go to work to make money. if you have the expendable income to buy a 1000 dollar jacket would you even want to keep wearing the same jacket? i honestly can't remember the last time I threw away a jacket. i still wear t-shirts that I wore in high school.

@@MouseCIickDid you end up buying the exhaust at the end?

@@ahshitherewegoagain6361 yup. Tomei, single exit full titanium. I bought it used lol. And I got super sticky tires. Car handles and sounds like a dream. Gapping civics all day lol. Honestly 1000 dollar not that bad for a leather jacket after seeing the cost of designer clothes.

Ysl

So "punks" buying jackets made by modern slaves in sweatshops is a better look?

thejasonbischoff lol, it's other way around, you fool

surprise sherlock, leather jackets have never been inexpensive, and if you're paying for a cheap one, you're probably paying for it unethically.

AURIBUS TENEO LUPUM "punk is the way I live my life"

Any top notch leather jacket is going to cost an arm and a leg, though. You don't have to be rich to afford one, per say. It just depends on where you place your priorities.

Good point Nik Murphy. But tony tookie is also on to something. Japan is weird...it's a VERY superficial country, yet when you are out and about, no one really gives a crap what you're wearing. What I've noticed there is that they love to draw themselves into subcultures; and within these subculture, they emphasize STYLE. It's all about the s clothes, accessories etc that supposedly relate to whatever sub culture they want to be a part of...they love the word "Style". Just an example: more space is dedicated to clothes in a magazine for say...Surfers, than in the US. So what i think happens there, they are trying to find a way to be unique by subscribing to a subculture. They try and look the part, but then no one else really cares out in public. So in a way Japan is superficial as hell...yet no fucks given.

I think the populace of countries the world over are quite superficial. It just comes out in different ways. Finding your identity is a big thing in a country where individualism is suppressed. I get it.

Are you suggesting that people ranch cow for the hide?
