Stylefarmers indignantly (re)discovering the relationship between clothes and capitalism is one of my favourite genres, along with voters being shocked when the Leopards Will Eat Your Face party they voted into power starts eating their faces.

You always seem to post some sort of communist i told you so for some reason. Don't you live in China, too?

There are many things I've posted about over the years: trains, running, communism, tailored trousers, Japanese workwear, communism, hats, eco-architecture, communism, parenting, dandyism, communism.... I just can't see what the common thread is. 🧐

So ... despite living in the area the past 10+ years, I made my way over to Self Edge in Austin for the first time this past week. I was looking forward to seeing the various Iron Heart jean and jacket options and compare some FCL jackets after my experience owning a few of them years ago.

I gotta say, I am not feeling that store at all. Is there a lot of stuff? Sure, one of everything is out on display, but taking a step back it's basically raw denim (duh), flannel shirts, t-shirts and jackets. I looked through every piece and it took maybe 5-8 minutes total in and out. The workers there seemed a bit dismissive of me and, yeah, they asked if I needed help with anything (from a seated distance, not even bothering to get up to greet me) a few times while I walked around and browsed. But I didn't feel comfortable, nor "believable" as a customer. I felt judged.

Store-wise, the shop feels empty and souless. It's small-ish. Square. White walls and hanging racks. Whoop-dee-do. Feels temporary or unfinished.

Clothes-wise, I didn't buy anything because I didn't want to even be there after a few minutes and frankly, the clothes became redundant. It's like, "ooh, they have a flannel check shirt in orange, or blue, or black, or white..." and "oooh, another by-all-appearances pair of raw denim in a slightly darker hue and slub." I get it, it's an aesthetic, this whole work-wear cosplay thing, but unless you're specifically seeking that out there's not many options there.

I don't see myself ever stepping foot in that place again. And this is coming from a guy who likes Stag Provisions and spent $1k there the same day.

Sounds like it just isn’t the store for you. Good thing you found another one nearby that is! I guess that kind of variety makes thing interesting.

Edit: sorry just saw that people had a lot of things to say about this apparently
