See I never got Visvim. Hilariously expensive and not even made in Japan, i’m guessing exclusivity and the aesthetic was the appeal but I just found their footwear fugly.
Yep, same here.

Also agree. To me Visvim is one of the most overrated/overpriced brands out there that isn't considered "high fashion". That said, a number of the shirts the brand carries I do like and would probably buy one if found for 50% or less of retail.
-
To clarify, much of their most expensive stuff (footwear) was made in Korea. I have seen this with my own eyes at their ridiculously pretentious shop behind the Gucci store, off the Main Street in Harajuku.

… Japanese companies that “try” to be rockabilly like Samurai...
Samurai is far from trying to be rockabilly. Are you confusing them with The Flat Head or Dry Bones?
Samurai has always been about Japanese car and motorcycle culture.

i'm not aware of past prices as the past stuff i bought were mostly off the second hand market and got a good deal on them.
out of all the visvim footwear i have, only 1 is made in japan. that would be their fbt sashiko which i got in pink. the rest i've got i'm assuming is china which he has quite a production factory there as well. the older made in korea ones are known to have the soles detach after some time with the fbt.
their current prices now are extremely ridiculous. both domestic (japan) and internationally. there's maybe 2 or 3 items that i absolutely love each season. the rest are absolute crap. there was a time where in japan, their prices are at least 1/3 the prices internationally but that's not the case anymore.
With his Indigo Camping Trailer(ICT) stuff, that's a whole different story.

I have a Visvim 20L pack & Veggie wallet. Both are nice but not worth what I paid for them. On that note, I think the pack has gone up almost $200 since I bought mine.

Other children's parents are all fuckwits…that includes you, and me in relation to my own son. I don't want to run a fascist state or anything, but please, at least control them within the bounds of relatively acceptable social parameters...and don't give then a fucking i-baby sitter in a restaurant just because otherwise they would interfere with your bullshit chat over a prosecco.

My kids get iPads at restaurants.
If that earns the scorn of others, so be it. I accept that I'm, at best, only an average parent.

This is something we should all learn to accept. However, truth be told, I know some fantastic parents and their kids are little shits. On the other side, I know some amazing kiddos who have dreadful parents…

I'm fine with gadgets that serve as a means to pacify children. My 5 yo sometimes becomes restless and finds it necessary to get out of the booth we're seated in and it becomes disruptive. I can either raise my voice and make a scene in the restaurant or try talking to him calmly and ask him to sit down. The latter seems to work…..sometimes
I also try not to judge others through the behavior of their children. Kids will be kids and I accept that some are better behaved than others. Yes, there are some little shits out there but we were all little shits at some point in our lives. Amirite? -
…bullshit chat over a prosecco.
I just spew’d my Camus wile reading this and listening to my wife order a prosecco. Contiguously.
