Aime Leon Dore - What the Hell is Going On? - Topic of the day 2/19/25

One point I will make, and I don't think this is necessarily connected to the rise or fall of their popularity, is it well a lot of people compare their clothes to Ralph lauren, the quality of all the pieces I have touched is significantly lower than that. A lot of their stuff feels a bit cheap to the touch.

Appropriation vs Appreciation - Topic of the day 2/10/25

This is an aside but one cultural appropriation issue that is in my proximately is Japanese culture. It's interesting because the very vast majority of people born/raised in Japan are absolutely thrilled at the prospect of foreigners getting involved in any aspect of their culture. Getting into music or anime, studying martial arts or tea or ikebana, trying on clothes...even the cringiest examples they tend to approve of. However there is another aspect, and that is the Japanese diaspora. And what I've come to understand is that to them, it does affect their cultural identity and it is seen as cultural appropriation. And I've had people from that background express very strong feelings about the matter before. I don't have a pony in the race and wouldn't know how to parse the nuances (although a white guy dressed up as a samurai will always look dumb as hell). I just find the contrast to be very interesting.

Selling clothes - Topic of the day 2/1/25

Japanese market, but I sell tons of stuff on Mercari. Pretty much anything will move there, as long as you research market price and ask a realistic value.

Cold Weather Clothing - Topic of the day 1/29/25

Down is insanely warm and efficient, and is 100% necessary once you hit a certain temperature. "Puffers" are a lightweight option to employ that warmth, often with a boxy hem.

Please note that I really only go to techno music festivals, so I realize that the all black colors came might not work for others.

For a bag, I use this Lululemon bag I,got from my wife. It is not large, so that might not work for people. But I can get my wallet and my phone in there, and when I tighten it against my body, I can dance without it bouncing around.

I tend to match them with a black T-shirt and a black baseball cap to protect my face from the sun. Then, for shoes, I wear the brooks Cascadia 16, which are actually my trail runners.
