What brands or shops do you prefer with your clothes, shoes and so on?
Forgive me, i'm about to come off uppity haha.
For me, it's all about quality and where my clothing/shoes come from. I rather
pay more for a pair of boots that are hand made in the USA, sourced from
locally bred cattle and put together by an employee that is earning a decent
wage.
That is just me though.
For the record, I understand not everybody can afford this kind of stuff, so
forgive me if I you see this as show offy. Just my thing. I like clothing and I
like leather goods and prefer to get them handmade.
Makes two of us.
I dislike cheap things, and will only buy things made of real miterials.
Leather, cotton, that sort.
I love wool too, but it hates me. Makes me itch and stuff, so I have to leave it alone.
I'm not brand loyal, and buy things that are good quality on sale, but have a wide variety of brands in my closet.
At the time, I'm in to RockmountRanch Wear shirts.
These are mostly made in the USA, and the designer tries to use as much product here.
Sure, some are made other places, but not much.
The shirts are hand embroidered, pretty artwork.
Not all, some are also prints.
They are made of really quality material.
That is my thang right now.
I'm a shopper and belive most anything can be found for less if you look, so I don't necessarily spend lots of money for things dispite my wishes.
I like my clothes because they feel good and keep me from scaring the people on the street. I order my clothes from ebay. I know my sizes, I know what I like, and I don't want to spend all of my money on name brand clothes from a store when I can pay the same price for the same thing somewhere else, and have money left for other things.
I like eBay, but find is isn't always the cheapist source.
It depends on what you're looking for, and sometimes it just isn't available.
I've gotten some really good deals there though.
I hate shopping on eBay. If I want something, I want to buy it, not hope to buy it. I don't have time to sit around and hope I get it.
Ah, but you don't always have to bid.
Most times you don't actually.
Next, sometimes you can make an offer on something.
For example, I got a pair of Calf skin Noconatools boots.
The run about $250 and up at the store.
A seeler had a brannew pair in the box and was asking $150 or best offer.
I took off his shipping, and offered 100 and I figured he'd add his shipping back..
He responded back with a counter of 112, so I was sold.
Took 3 days to get them handed to me at my door.
It just depends though.
I like to save a search, so that eBay sends me new listenings on that prodects new listings.
They come directly to my email, so I don't even have to look.
Once I have the item, or get tired of trying to find it for the price I wish to pay, I remove the search.
Pretty slick.
Right now I'm wanting a Justin Mustang 8X fur felt hat, size 7 1/4 in Granite.
Store price is $220. Amazon and some other places have it at $150 roughly.
I get listings for all these hats in my email.
If one comes buy me say for $130 and free shipping, I'll grab it.
I do nothing but read my morning emails.
Sometimes you'll find what is called a pre owned item, or used. Maybe a guy got one of these hats,as a gift, and it was too small, or big.
He puts it on eBay for $75, and I get it.
My hats basicly new. No spots, dirt. eBay says whatever the seller says it is it must be or you get a refund.
Ohh! bad typing.
Was I excited?
Laughing.
Laziness. Didn't proof it.
