Why is this brand so goddamn expensive?

A simple black tee costs $150...

Literally what the fuck? What makes them so special? Are they supper-super-high-quality or what? All the white kids at my campus have one of these shirts.
>>
they're printed on gildan, which about the lowest quality you can get

its literally just hype
>>
>>12194986
This.
And ibthink they have fakes because whot the fuck pays 150$ for ugly made in china shirt. But i doesnt matter if they have fakes because fakes can even be better quality than the orginal product.

>they're printed on gildan
This myth has been debunked already.


OP, they just offer great quality shirts that'll last you a long time, still overpriced, but it's trendy.

>It's 2012+5 still asking this question

I remember back then when I was still lurking places like gamespot forums and I was reading the news paper one day and pulled out the sales. I was looking through a Bestbuy paper and they had a deal where you got a PS3, an TV and a soundbar for what they would call a 'discounted price' it was still isanely expensive. The kicker though, was then they offered geek squad services for $200 buckeroos to come set the shit up.

I scaned that Bestbuy paper, posted in on Gamespot forums and had a discussion. I was actually the one arguing on how that was a rip off when these people could watch something on the internet or just read instructions on how to set the shit up.

But one guy argued against me and changed my view on shit like this forever. He basically said if they're dumb enough to pay $200 for something they can do themselves that's not even that complex then why not make that money?

Around this tile Gamespot was facing backlash for being to censor happy and they were losing users to /v/ and other places that weren't as tight ass. Before then I thought of Gamespot users as a bunch of boy scouts but around this time they were letting up and the users started acted like some pseudo /v/ retards so people started being way more honest.

How does this fit in regards to this shirt? It some retard has enough money to buy some hype brand hyped because a popular rapper fucks with it when it's just a t-shirt probably one notch up on gildan in quality, then why not rip them off? If they'll spend $150 on that they deserve to be ripped off.

The secret any sales person, people up the top know is that just because you have money doesn't mean you're smart. There's a lot of degree carrying idiots and other morons with a lot of money who want nothing more than to put on appearances and seem cool, it's a big market and they merchant is doing nothing illegal.

Like if I was Thrasher right now I'd sell Thrasher shirts and hoodies for $100.

there's a long tradition of this shit.

except "limited edition" shoe culture that started with sb dunks and carried into supreme's business model, which made everyone who starts a streetwear brand go the limited numbers / luxury price avenue.

didn't always be this way. but whatever. streetwear is such a fucking lame treadmill of big logos brand hype. but it's easier than learning how to dress.
>>
Just because something has a name attached to it doesn't mean it's good quality. A tee is a tee, stop bitching about quality when it's a tee. I want you to find a tee where the color doesn't fade and the graphic doesn't crack.

Graphic tees will never be fashionable anyways.

To answer your question: they sell

Because it's designer/high end/whatever meme you want to call it.

No clothes are worth the retail let alone resale price.

>>12201233
appearances are a very important part of being a rapper

a lot of mid-sized rappers tend to live above their own means. theres a decent chance that carti probably spent most of his money on clothes and shoes and is otherwise broke

because of a hack named A$AP Bari and his other hack friend named Virgil Abloh, that offwhite guy as Raf would say. they claim to make clothes for the youth/the kids/ the culture but in reality they are just trend hopping hacks who are just in it for the money scamming/tricking kids into buying their clothes by getting rappers to wear their clothes.

notice Bari wearing a direct copy of Raf Simons Kollaps hoodie from 2002. and notice off white guy trend hopping with Kanye. off white guy is known to overprice his stuff like his pyrex printed of champion and then charging 300 bones.

they're both hacks and who ever falls for buying anything from offwhiteguy bari is just idiots in it for pure hype...
