It’s hard to do that even just maintain the same revenue though

how many of us change aesthetic, or stopping buying item A/B/C/D because else we have too many overlapping stuff type of thing

I understand that, I can still dream - but I do believe that the wanton pursuit of growth is inherently destructive, which is why I hate the idea of the stock market so much as it prizes growth over all, inventing it's own upside down world of wage disparity, pollution and exploitation.

This is true as well. I think it'll be highly variable individual to individual based on taste, budget and maybe how long or how many types of fashion they've dabbled in previously. At some point, myself included, people may end up on settling on a specific brand or style cause it checks enough boxes or covers a majority of their bases that its not worth the effort of deviating to multiple brands.

Using myself as an example, with the only exception being t-shirts, my wardrobe is now probably 85-90% one brand after dabbling in a bit of everything for almost a decade.

Can you share your favourite pieces from Timeworn?

I shot them an email and they replied they have no catalogue, but can get back to me about the availability of certain products if I have photos of them that I gathered online.

Cheers!

You can see my old posts in the thread gallery going back the last few years. Everything they do is seasonal, and given that they don’t make a ton of product like other brands they tend to sell through most things each season.

Tempting! But someone might think I actually work for the USAAF 😅

Being into one brand has always been my dream but I always drift between similar brands and obviously a lot of vintage. It's hard to find a brand that hits perfectly all that I want.

Especially now in Kyoto where I spend more time on a bike than walking. I hike all the time, climb whatever. So although I probably should do gorp core, I still like repro and vintage too much to go gorp.

Also I posted this in the Kapital thread, but recently I've been thinking bout trying to proxy for people so I can buy vicariously through others. It would be a fee but if anyone is interested for things PM me!
