Especially if he runs into this guy:
Yep, Giles is right! I think I read online that 99% of Belgiums bandwidth is Eli's forum posts
P.S. ^ Got an actual chuckle. Good stuff.

un-fortunately?
You must have been drinking too much of that Belgian beer to feel that way about not encountering Seul…

Honest justification comes from economies of scale.
Take a look at how many shirts you currently own, I know that in past times I have owned 30 or 40 different shirts at any one time, I thought nothing of having 100+ tee's, 10 pairs of jeans, 30+ pairs of sneakers, 10+ pairs of shoes/ boots, and 40+ coats and jackets (my real obsession).
These days my clothing collection is MUCH smaller, I sold just about all my old gear (Supreme, Wtaps, Bathing Ape etc..) when I first got into Japanese raw denim, and used the money I made to finance myself on the way. These days I own maybe 10 shirts, 3 pairs of jeans, 8 coats/ jackets, and 25 tee's, a far smaller, more compact collection, but the difference in quality and style means that I will still be wearing these clothes in another 5 years in many cases.
You have to consider not only the quality of the item, but also the longevity of it's wear in terms of construction and style. Much of the IH catalogue is made up of timeless items, straight cut jeans, flannel shirts, denim shirts, Deck Coats, trucker jackets, riders jackets etc. These are items which have been worn by men for decades, and will continue to be worn for decades more. Fashions change but style will always be style.
In short, point out that what you buy when you buy IH is an investment in time, clothes to last through your life. I would like to think that my boy will be borrowing my Riders jacket, or Deck Coat when he's older, as I shout after him "You be careful with that coat, I've had that almost as long as you've been alive"
