As some of you may know USA is not longer the best at barely anything, which is one of the reason for the Tariffs... Skills what does this has to do with fashion?

Back in the days usa had the best cars (today china has the best cars)

the best cell iphone (china has the best phone)

My point is we used to be number one in everything, now not so much.... Not even in clothing for example the best jeans are Japan for selvege and Korea (if you are into baggy)... Italy suits and shoes etc..

anyways, some baggy jeans i wanted were from a company name "weekdays" so they do not ship to USA.... There are in Sweeden.... So i got all exited finding a jean that took me 3 months to find with my autism, the problem is they do not ship to usa....


So i found a company with my autism called reship that will give me a canada address..... So here we go:

$80 jeans
$30 cheapest shipping
$50 tariff fuck my life
$7 to reship
$20 to ship to usa address
$20 tailoring

= fuck this...


so the way around is company like ASos but asos is shit in my opinion.... I never had luck with asos ...... If you guys have any better ideas shoot...

all this tiktok and insta clothing they have drops, by the time you go to the website the clothes are gone....

Gen z has ruined even buying clothes tbh...

Lol fuck this sucks

Grailed has a couple filtered to US sellers. Spike mentioned the site Depop recently and a girl in a clothing store recommended it to me last week too

Yeah I guess that is fair. I am all about it and can't think of any issues ever though tbh. Mostly eBay for work clothes though, either vintage made in USA or I recently got some wool pants worth over $200 for $40 completely new unhemmed and everything.

WeekDay is owned by H&M.

Anyway, ASOS and Zalando (not sure you have Zalando in the US) used to ship WeekDay. At least Zalando did.

I do think some old brands remain gold for jeans, even to this day. Levi Strauss, GAP.

@Skills Do you have a link or photo of the jeans? Curious what style you were going for.
