Ysl Chelseas are sold grails.
I've got several items on my list, like high-end Cordovan dress shoes for profession, slim cargos by some map brand for leisure, higher end outerwear for the cold months etc., lots stuff far beyond my spending capacity

God damn all of you suck so fucking much things that came out last year shouldn't be fucking grails. SLP puts out fucking Chelsea every season, Damir makes hightops every season, Y3 puts out qasas every season. Come back when you have actual interesting taste

everyone puts out chelseas every season, that doesn't mean that a specific season chelsea by a specific brand isn't a solid grail. things like construction, materials, design details, versatility, etc. can make an item a grail.

You obviously have no Idea what you're talking about. Which is completely fine but when you act like you know shit then you're wrong. If everyone puts out Chelseas then why are SLP's the best? They are known to have shit quality footwear that is overpriced.
>edgelord
Says the kid who wants fucking chelsea boots.

>>8850429
lmao i have chelseas and they're not slp and i'm not the one who posted slps. but even if i were, the point is this: a grail is a grail because it's specifically and exactly what someone wants. it meets all of their requirements, it's perfect to them probably to the point of fetishization.

now, if a joy division towel is perfect to you, that's fine and cool, but don't act like it's edgier than someone's chelsea boots. because it's not.

>>8850467
Mother fucker do you know what the Holy grail is? It's a cup that has been sought after by almost all of humanity but had eluded everyone for millennium. A grail is something you have searched and searched for but still cannot find. It is rare and sought after by many. Not something that you can find from many different designers. You can go onto eBay/grailed/supermarket/sz right now and find tons of pairs of qasas or Chelseas. This "towel" is one of the most sought after and rare pieces from all of Jun Takahashi's career. It's rare like the actual grail, it's beautiful like the holy grail. If honestly think that just because you want to cop an item really bad or even if it's the perfect item for you, if it is readily fucking available it isn't a grail.

>>8850532
Euro usually only ever has hyped shit. He does sometimes get some really cool archival pieces but hes shit just like pigfuck. They both just charge crazy prices which just leads to the downward spiral of sellers charging higher and higher prices for archive pieces. I'm never going to buy a piece that may even be my grail if it's ridiculously marked up that's just fucking stupid. But not hate to Euro or Piggy they're making money doing it because they know silly little new money asain kids will buy their shit because the Internet told them to.

>>8850539
>all of humanity
do you even history? or do you just eurocentric history u lernt in american high school?

grail, definitions:
1. the holy grail of jesus based christ
2. a thing being sought after

so if i seek a thing, that makes it a grail. it doesn't matter how many other people seek it or how rare it is. it doesn't matter if it's readily available. it just matters that i am seeking it. or that another person is.

>>8851278

What do you mean? By a $1000 a year do you mean that is your leisure money and the rest of your checks go to bills, or you actually make less then a hundred dollars every month? How are you even affording?

>>8851485

*even affording internet

>>8850936

Honestly the price point was really high when it started out. There's not as much name recall and hype as an incentive to break the bank on an upstart Canadian brand (we don't really have that much history when it comes to upscale street/menswear) compared to say, an obscure Jap brand. But seeing the jacket in person and trying it on made me a believer.

any informed anons know of anything similar, and not $$$$?

There's nothing. There are two noragis in straight denim on Rakuten for under $500, but as far as the one pictured, good luck, you'll never find anything remotely close.

I wouldn't even suggest finding a tailor to attempt something like this - most likely they'd fuck it up and you'd waste your money

Been wanting these for a long time now, I originally passed them up whenever all the rafdidas were going on sale for like sub $200 because I told myself that I only wanted them because they were cheap and memeshoes or w/e. I've regretted it ever since, and finding the colorway I wanted and in my size was really, really hard.

I just bought a BNWT pair off Rakuten in pic related colorway and I'm the happiest man alive, maybe

That's the Holy Grail. "Grail" is just an antiquated term for a chalice-style cup.

The Holy Grail has endured as an object of desire for centuries, so the term "grail" is used as a common slang term for something one greatly desires. Here at /fa/, we use it like >>8850120 said; to describe an item we desperately want but can't find/afford
