motorcross, im not gay. and hardly douchey in person. but this is the internet, ya know, colloquialism and hyperbole rule here. and bing, longchamp is a pretty revered brand. in europe its on par with coach. its pretty good craftsmanship, for decent value when compared to LV, gucci, fendi, yves, etc. they have flagships in every major shopping district. ---

Burberry rebranded drastically a couple years ago. Their main concern was distancing themselves from the Chav community of lower middle class Brits who were buying bootlegged Burberry pattern hats and scarves and wearing it with their shady unlimited track suits or football jackets. Burberry thought this was murdering their brand for their intended demographic and scaled back the patterns on their collection or using it less recognizably by changing it to a gray or navy colourway. They also publicly told ja rule to stop wearing their stuff in his videos since it was making their brand desirable to an audience that simply couldn’t afford to wear the brand, thus more bootlegging. I thought that was a little racist at the time but if you consider burberrys cultural relevance and connections with British military, I guess there’s a heritage worth protecting. I net that rap lyric posted was a reaction to the ja rule fiasco. Jay z kinda did the same thing with cristal champagne a couple years ago because a spokesman for Louis roderer was quoted as saying he wasn’t pleased with the demand that rappers have inflated for their product because it was never their target market. So now jay z puts Dom perrignon in every video he can. ---

i’m a pretty big fan of burberry to be honest. they do have some of their gear made in China, which is gay, but by and large they use nice trim cuts and very nice materials on subtle pieces. I have a burberry cashmere sweater that i bought a few years back and i just had it tailored to fit a bit better 3 weeks ago. shortened the sleeves and raised the wasteline an inch. It’s a fantastic piece even though it’s chinese made. i tried on a suit at the burberry outlet the other day on black friday. Great cut, made in italy and felt real nice… if they have it on boxing week i’ll grab it, i just wasnt in the mood to buy a suit last week. usually can’t justify buying burberry even at outlet prices unless it’s boxing week or black friday pricing… but still worth it in many cases for a couple nice go-to pieces. ---

Although he supplies his lounges with Krug and Dom after the Cristal ordeal. Anyway back on topic. ---
