NightRider Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Ok....so my dad likes to buy a bunch of health, and men magazines. Usually, he doesn't even read them....and just passes them on to me. I like reading them, most of the mags have interesting articles....or something to teach me. I like learning things, and always open to new stuff. Bored, i start looking through an April 2009 issue of Men's Journal. They ran an article called the fundamentals for work, relax and play. Here are a few of the items they listed. Look at these prices! Wtf could afford this shit?WORK:John Varvatos pinstripe suit. 1,795$. johnvarvatos.comBanana Republic money clip. 190$. bananarepublic.comTse Men Trench (coat/jacket) 795$.Louis Vuitton silk tie. 250$. louisvuitton.comSalvatore Ferragamo calfskin shoes. 595$Paul Stuart cashmere socks. 119$. paulstuart.comBally Silino leather briefcase. 1,350$. bally.comLinks of London silver cufflinks. 195$. linksoflondon.comRELAX:Ralph Lauren weekend bag. 1,095$. ralphlauren.comGucci sunglasses 325$. solsticestores.comPrada Corduroys. 295$. Wtf wear corduroys anymore??Rolex Oyster perpetual explorer II. (watch) 5,295$. rolex.comPolo by Ralph Lauren cashmere hoodie. 425$. For a hoodie!? Ok....Coach Harrison leather jacket. 898$. coach.comSo...again i ask wtf can afford this shit? Not the normal, everyday working guy. Just a little rediculous. Anyone with me?I find Men's Journal to be a joke, and to be catered towards the rich folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 i don't think they really meant you should go out and buy those exact things. it's fashion advice for guys who don't have women to tell them not to wear their favorite flannel shirt and jean shorts to the annual performance review.and obviously, if the lifestyle they portray in that section doesn't match your life, then don't follow the advice. you'll look like a classic douche showing up with a $2500 suit to your construction job.

I know this man. I was just astonished at some of the prices. 425$ for a hoodie though? Who's gonna pay that much? 5900$ for a watch? 898$ for a jacket?

That is the only reason to look nice for your business partners but I don't like dressing that way soooooooo I would never buy any of that.

Dustinkz1000 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Your telling me you would spend 5900$ on a watch? Thats a fucking bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anderson Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Your telling me you would spend 5900$ on a watch? Thats a fucking bike!I don't wear them. I would never buy a watch that exspensive. Maybe if I made a million a year after taxes. Even then I would go buy a fake 15 dollar watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Only in very small circles would anyone even know what you were wearing. I get Stereo Review and think the same thing - "This is for people with tons of disposable income. People with obscene amounts of money. Musbe nice.
