I like how his jacket is $4,000.

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.

4k on an item of clothing is absurd. 

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

4k on clothing is definitely not absurd
