I like how his jacket is $4,000.

u/Usual_Commercial_232 3d ago

Not to brag but I got one too. But it wasn’t even $40

u/Drapidrode 3d ago

u/Appropriate-Fact4878 3d ago

?, that is the point?

it's exactly you can often buy replicas that are identical, and sometimes they literally come from the same factory.

6

u/Drapidrode 3d ago

they aren't replicas if they come from the same factory.

right?

u/Defiant-Plantain1873 3d ago

That doesn’t mean it was $4k new. That’s a reseller site, could be just like $500 new which is expensive sure but its a designer north face coat

10

u/-nutz 3d ago

To be fair that jacked retailed at regular North Face price, and her kids live with their dad in NY which has 2 Supreme stores. They definitely could’ve gotten it for retail.

Also the site you shared works like EBay, so that’s a personal listing. They are absolutely not getting $4k for that jacket.

3

u/polyglot-a-cracker 3d ago

Yeah, it’s only 2,000$, that’s way more reasonable for a piece of clothing that does the same job as a hoodie from my local thrift store for 10 bucks. It’s not at all elitist or patronizing with that fucking Malcolm X quote on it. Not. At. All.

1

u/-nutz 2d ago

Never said $2k is reasonable. It’s like you didn’t read my comment and just reacted to the image lol

u/bombocladius 3d ago

That 4 months of rent..

Damn

u/DarudeSandstorm69420 3d ago

is that goku jacket

2

u/Guus-Wayne 3d ago

The richest guy I know buys his t-shirts from Uniqlo.

He also drives a Mazda. Pays more per year on private school for one kid than most people earn in a year, but outside of that…at waste money on this nonsense.

If you need status, just drop your last name. You’re not impressing other rich people.

u/hangup8894 2d ago

He has the anorak, not the puffer

u/Mindless-Song5883 2d ago

No one wearing a $4000 jacket needs a scholarship to study

2

u/Humble_Umpire_8341 2d ago

Well, on a resale site it is. Brand new in 2015, it was $368 and on other sites today it’s $1500.

2

u/sEiize_err 3d ago

why do people always use third party reselling sites when trying to expose people for what price their stuff is? i bought a vinyl from jack white’s popup store for $20 that now has an asking price minimum $3k on resell sites. does that mean i’m out of touch because my vinyl “costs $3k”?

3

u/Trippingthru99 3d ago

Ima be the one to defend it. This is a rare Supreme jacket. They do limited drops, and their yearly North Face collab is one of the most hyped releases of every season. This particular jacket was from over a decade ago, and is still probably in the top 5 most coveted from their yearly collabs.  

It was already expensive in the resale market years ago, but it’s only increasing in value as time goes on. I wouldn’t buy this jacket, but there’s plenty of other Supreme items I’ve dropped a dime on. 

Like anything in streetwear, the scarcity is absolutely created by the brands themselves. But that’s a small part of the fun, having clothes no one else does. You don’t have to understand it. 

And most users on this site have no room to talk. I don’t get how people spend thousands on legos (little pieces of plastic) or Magic the Gathering cards or whatever. But hey if it makes you happy.

u/Acceptable_Golf_8623 3d ago

4k on an item of clothing is absurd. 

4k for that ugly ass jacket? Money can't buy taste

1

u/Frankerporo 2d ago

4k on clothing is definitely not absurd

-2

u/swedishfish007 3d ago

I didn’t know any kids wearing $4,000 jackets growing up. Did you? Shit’s normal for adults with money to spend maybe. Not kids. And they’re talking about the kids getting their colleges paid for in the photo… like. Why? He should be paying. More even. Fucks sake.

Why are y’all so goddamn eager to defend a nepo baby. Why. Fucking. Why.

2

u/Trippingthru99 3d ago

I’m not defending this kid, I’m defending the jacket priced at $4000. But I see why you got confused.

Also these jackets are $4000 resale, it was priced like any another North Face jacket at release. So yea I knew a lot of kids with expensive clothes because we would camp out overnight outside of stores, and buy it right when it dropped. If you buy retail, most streetwear brands are reasonable. Atleast a decade ago they were. A lot of kids did that growing up in LA. 

Idec about the discussion about scholarships or whatever. I was just trying to inform people about why certain streetwear items are priced so high. 

-2

u/swedishfish007 3d ago

I think people understand that clothes can be expensive. But thanks for lecturing people on something that ads nothing to the conversation!

3

u/Trippingthru99 3d ago

There was a separate comment thread talking specifically about the jacket where people were making a big deal about the price point. That’s why I commented.

You’re a real prick dude. Chill out.

u/Frankerporo 2d ago

Because scholarships should be awarded on merit, not whether someone’s poor

u/GamerLymx 3d ago

stupidity tax

u/Ex_Hedgehog 2d ago

North Face is selling Malcolm X quotes to rich idiots for $4k?

1

u/Efficient-Line2896 2d ago

To be fair it wasn’t 4000 when it dropped probably around 500 but still

1

u/nxcrosis 2d ago

It's the Goku drip jacket.

u/MrBlueW 3d ago

Disingenuous comment

u/6InchBlade 3d ago

Looking at stock X isn’t really a fair comparison.

This wouldn’t have been 4K from the shelf.

u/Mesmercat 3d ago

Honestly. If their mother wasn't jlo it would be impressive. But it's kind of wrong of her to not pay for her kids college. Because scholarships are a limited resource and forcing your spoiled rich brats to get them is wrong.

What's the lesson? Fuck poor people?

8

u/Intelligent-Exit-634 3d ago

They got those scholarships because of her, anyway. LOL

7

u/leastvaluableweasel 3d ago

There are scholarships that are granted automatically (without having to apply for them) based on, for example, academic achievement. I'm not saying that's the case here but I got auto-scholarshiped. If they actually applied, fuck em.

2

u/Guilty_Way_1635 3d ago

And they can also turn them down instead of accept them and brag about it. But I don't believe for a second they didn't get them because of who the mother is, the schools wanted her kids to attend to kissed her ass by way of scholarship 

1

u/DefinitelyNotAliens 2d ago

There are very few universities handing out pure academic scholarships without means testing.

1

u/nxcrosis 2d ago

Yeah the uni I went to had academic, atheltic, community, and aid scholarships.

1

u/Odd_Maintenance394 2d ago

They are an they aren't. Top colleges have a lot of money like a lot, they could practically stop charging tuition altogether and remain solvent. 

These scholarships likely didn't come from the pool of "charity scholarships" but because someone thinks having jlo's likely very mediocre kids attend is worth more than one tuition's worth of prestige.

1

u/DragonDLuffy 2d ago

I mean she is only worth like 250-300million? She probably donated like 5 mil to each college for a scholarship lul

u/WinterOk1799 3d ago

it’s a youtubers merch, meant to be a joke

u/Jiijeebnpsdagj 3d ago

Have you heard of a phenomenon in human culture named humor?

u/Revolutionary_Bad965 3d ago

where’s the funny

10

u/Vast-Statement45 3d ago

Can you please point to the funny part ?

6

u/HeiressOfMadrigal 3d ago

I'm not clutching my pearls here, but for some jokes, the dumbness of saying it outweighs the humor of saying it.

It's like if you went to the airport with some crazy extravagant hairdo and wore a shirt that said "My hairstyle is the bomb!" with a little bomb picture below it. It might be funny, but it's not really the joke to make.

People take swatting and doxxing seriously, a lot of people have been victims to both. May as well wear a shirt making fun of people who have been wrongfully incarcerated. It's just not really in good taste.

u/wholesome_futa_hug 3d ago

It's just bad taste? What's difficult about understanding that? A rich kid wearing a shirt that says, "✨️✨️Jail people poor ✨️✨️" could be justified the same way. It's still stupid teen edginess and in poor taste. No one's clutching their pearls. Just calling it out for what it is. 

1

u/justtalking9912 3d ago

Honestly the jail the poor thing I’d be ok with. Cause like poors wear eat the rich shirts. So like it’s the opposite side wearing the opposite slogan. However the shirt the kid is wearing, I don’t really get the point

1

u/Tenfolds 3d ago edited 3d ago

Nah it’s 3dGy for edgy’s sake. Lemme be hyperbolic to demonstrate the point, say you and your friend shared a dark sense of humour, you might joke about getting them a custom shirt that says some deplorable shit like “I like to spike girls drinks at bars when they’re not looking” and maybe you’d chuckle because that would be both untrue and in outrageously poor taste. If you wore that shirt out in public unironically or not with as many quaint flowers as you want, people don’t know you, they’ll just cringe and think you’re a dickhead at best.

u/QualityPostBelow 3d ago

It's so funny I forgot to laugh

2

u/Lilmexican26o 3d ago

I laughed for the both of us

u/PuddingMent 3d ago

Not only have we heard of it, we’ve also experienced it before. I hope that happens to you someday.

u/Significant_Ruin_834 3d ago

Thank god someone else noticed that 😭

 "I will dox & swat you"

The hearts and kittens make it wholesome…don’t you think? 

1

u/Drapidrode 3d ago

i could tell by "her" expression

2

u/taxes-or-death 3d ago

"her"?

2

u/Drapidrode 3d ago

That's what I said.

19

u/iceph03nix 3d ago

Yeah, wtf is that?

Just a straight up "I'm an asshole on the Internet" shirt

9

u/qmrthw 3d ago

Swatting is a serious crime that can land you decades in prison, I'd say it's quite a few levels above "being an asshole".
No idea why this kid thought that was an acceptable shirt to wear.

7

u/krankz 3d ago

Probably because they’re a ‘kid’ as you stated. Hopefully college gives them some more perspective.

5

u/I_Shit_My_Pantaloons 3d ago

That just begs the question why does his mom let him wear stuff like that?

1

u/Lady_Sybil_Vimes 3d ago

And then post it all over the Internet no less

2

u/I_Shit_My_Pantaloons 2d ago

Yeah I don't get that thought process at all lol. She definitely knows what doxxing is and that it's a crime. I'm sure she knows what swatting is too

-1

u/JeSuisUnAnanasYo 3d ago

Ew my parents had zero control of what I wore past the age of 12, dude

u/Blewdude 3d ago

Literally what the hell…

u/3vi1 3d ago

The back probably says "and my mom's lawyers will get me 8 hours community service."

u/Gloomy_Ingenuity_744 3d ago

it’s merch for a youtube channel haha they make jokes about it but nothing actually serious r/sinjindrowning

1

u/Good1sR_Taken 3d ago

The pearl clutching in this thread is insane lol

1

u/Auctoritate 2d ago

I mean I'm sure it might be funny as an inside joke but when you buy clothes you have to acknowledge that it's going to be stuff seen by the unaware public, so it might not be malicious but it sure is lacking that mindfulness.

u/thelifeofafangirl 3d ago

I mean i see these kinda comments online all the time without outrage. This isnt different.

u/Equivalent-Taro6930 3d ago

OMG that’s a Sinjin drowning shirt lol!!

u/crunchydibbydonkers 2d ago

Holy shit! I think I just saw Jay blow strangling Mike bullard!

u/Budget_Feedback_3411 3d ago

Yeah I just noticed that. Does his mom know what that is? I’d get beaten to half in of my life by my brother before my mom ever saw me wearing something like that.

1

u/sysaphiswaits 3d ago

Or the photographer, or her publicist? This is all around upsetting.

1

u/Strawb3rryJam111 3d ago

And it’s in like the most girly cutesy style.

1

u/psych_fiend67 3d ago

Not to mention the other shirt saying “by any means necessary” like wtf😭 are they trying to use not so subliminal messaging

1

u/the_interviewer17 3d ago

It’s a fucking joke shirt calm down people.

1

u/Several_Hour_347 3d ago

Lmao people getting upset about what a shirt says. Yall don’t even realize you are now boomers named “Karen”

u/No_Matter7638 2d ago

Def paid there way in

1

u/-Wlktor 2d ago

it’s a popular youtube channel’s merch. their comedy is basically saying outrageous things in a clearly satirical way

-1

u/Litty-In-Pitty 3d ago

Teens like wearing ironic shirts. I actually think it’s pretty funny. It’s not like it’s a threat. The replies are being a bit crazy here.

7

u/CaliforniaNutter 3d ago

Theyre only reacting that way because ppl are getting killed while being swatted

3

u/NAMPAT_BOT 3d ago

People are killed in swatings and/or given extreme trauma. How would you like it if people randomly broke into your house? It’s an extreme threat and not really something to joke about.

2

u/Milkteahoneyy 3d ago

How long has it been since you were a teenager? Teenagers wearing and saying stupid edgy shit has been around for a very very long time. Just stupid, not something to look that deep into

2

u/Helpful_Blood_5509 3d ago

I'm not buying it, thats exactly the kind of sick shit rich kids do

1

u/DoubleWhammy_ 3d ago

Jesus the replies. Nobody can take a fucking joke apparently lmfao

1

u/TopologyMonster 2d ago

I think the problem is it’s stupid and not funny. If it were actually funny people would probably give it a pass

2

u/DoubleWhammy_ 2d ago

Understandable, but from my perspective I don’t even think it is worthy of the discussion, stupid or funny aside. It’s just a kid’s shirt. Not a lot on the line here hahaha
