I wasn't prepared for $200-$400 jeans.

    Holy fuck I almost had a heart attack. Why would anyone ever pay that much for non-specialized (i.e. winter jackets) clothing?

    Arguably, you could wear jeans regularly for a decade plus, assuming you don't change size. I have carhartt jeans that are about 20 years old, and still going strong. I would wear them more often if they were quite that heavy.

    A specialized winter coat often cost significantly more per wear.

    Yeh, they're expensive.
    But lifetime of free repairs. And ethically made.

    I've come to realise that if I want to see everyone get a living wage (not just a minimum wage), then I have to be prepared to spend more for that.
    So I do my best to buy ethical products made as close to home as I can.

    And fuck Nestlรฉ
