, meanwhile I only buy the hats because they low profile style with grey underbrim. Since new era refuse to do that combo themselves 
. Once this brand stop offering this option, I’m gone 
.
Damn all this talk about this brand, on who should rock and not
i agree. definitely buy what you like. But, i don't think that's what this has been about. I think everyone here "likes" ALD. Just some people either can't afford it or can afford it but aren't willing to pay the prices. i think price is important. its a barrier. sometimes a necessary barrier. Not everyone should be able to buy ALD. That's not why they exist. It's not ALD's job to be affordable. They never promised us affordability. They promised a certain degree of authenticity, quality, and aesthetic. And they deliver on that promise from what i can see. Back to your original point, it's up to me to determine if the promise is worth the payment. but, yeah, short story long, blah blah blah buy what you like

I don't know. October was pretty crazy. I'm also getting tired of waiting for packages to arrive. The Package Posse (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) got me shook.

But like you said, if you want it enough/like it enough it doesnt matter what it cost (to an extent). And no its not their job to be affordable, its to be a quality stylish product. Doesnt mean I cant say damn when I see sweats for $185-$230. Then again, im looking at a Bottega bomber thats 2 racks and change so I mean, depends really what you want and how much youre willing to drop for said product.Wanna talk about pricing i don't understand....bubble tea is gross. My niece loves anime and drinks bubble tea like she'll wake up looking like Sailor Moon if she drinks enough of itCorrect, was only complaining about prices. We can complain about gas prices, designer clothes prices, hell I got this trash bubbletea for $8 earlier. In all seriousness it wasnt even a serious complaint though damn.
. value is subjective so Bottegas for you, ALD for them, rare vinyl records for me.

In an ALD shipping update.....ALD greys are supposed to touch down today. It's been a long time coming.....although not really. I checked my email and saw my receipt for the green/yellow ALD 550s and the timing for those are about the same as these.
at the niece
Yeah, just keep being patient. That's all we can do lol. UPS just dropped mine off minutes ago. Will probably rock them to the record store this weekend ironically. Could spend a whole day in that place if i could.
Stil unfulfilled for my gray pair but trying to be patient. My ex was into the vinyl thing too, had me in a store in Montauk for like an hour while she was combing through everything. But yeah, different strokes, and its not like im not gonna complain about the Bottega jacket price either cause no way that nylon *** bomber should cost that much but I think ive done enough complaining in this topic.
I got a Woolrich flannel for $55 in 2016. Same shirt is $145 now. I’m stocking up on LL Bean before the collab hype hits them too.
ShhhhhhhhhhWell… the Todd Snyder collab they have right now is flames.
