      Further expansion….

      I conclude that most folks are either far richer than me, or genuinely just want to make their $3k outfit look like clothes they borrowed from a homeless, former 18th Century coal miner.

      A lot of the brands we're into make really nice stuff, which will look amazing over time of you have the patience. If you don't you will literally have thousands of $'s worth of rags, and boots that look like your dog has chewed them.

        I'm with you Mega, I like to rotate my stuff to make it last… I don't care if it takes a lifetime to fade a pair of jeans!

          I'd rather see some naturally aged denim or boots with less obvious wear, than items which look like they were used to climb the north face of the Eiger any day…...unless the person did actually climb the north face of the Eiger, in which case kudos to them.

            Agree i do not baby my stuff but also at the same point do not smash it on purpose, just wear like you do Gav. Also do not care much about fadings, this is one of the reasons i am not participating in any comp.
            however i need good reliable strong boots as i am out a lot with the doggie dog as my feet are "sensitive" lol. I leave the outcome to my daily lifestyle and not thinking too much about it. Everybody at his / her own discretion and gusto.

            🙂

            Cheers,
            David

              I'm certainly not "anti fading", as that is to some regard the point of the HWDC. I would just rather see what happens to the garments naturally through daily wear, and normal washing.

              I can't be the only person who sometimes looks at a pair of jeans posted on any forum with unbelievable sharp contrast fades and thinks "Come on, really? No-one does that to jeans, it looks so fake".

              I know that it is virtually never the case that people fake their fades, but some of the wear patterns just look artificial and cheapen the look of a classic item in my opinion.

              David, as always I like you attitude and style dude.

                I don't like American chain restaurants. This must be an unpopular opinion because these businesses seem to thrive all over the country (and the world) but their food is mediocre at best. These places seem to be busy constantly which leads me to believe that they're very popular and people patronize them often. Who's eating that corporate garbage slop? This life is too short to waste my time eating shite food.

                Applebee's
                TGI Fridays
                Chilis
                Outback
                Olive Garden
                Cheesecake Factory
                All fast-food joints (McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Carl's Jr., KFC, etc.)

                And while we're at it, I don't like Starbucks. I don't like their corporate jargin that they try to make you speak when you go in there. "I would like a medium coffee please" "Oh, do you mean grande?" "Is that the medium size?" WTF! Fuck off!

                edited: I remembered more crappy restaurants to add to my list.

                    I must be. I'm also an American and I don't like Budweiser, Coors, Miller, or other piss beers. This country has far too many craft-brewers that produce amazing beer to waste my time or money on that watery flavorless shite.

                      Don't put your Vibergs through a wood chipper so you can feel like you look like a 19th century hobo.
