So you think it's ok for a 16 year old to get a $700 suit for a minimum wage job and funerals
That's not frivolous to you?
The funny thing is that jacket will last longer than the suit and they would get more use out of it.

depends on the situation imo
anything can last long if you take care of it and if the kid gets an office job then a suit can get more use

Kids grow b
At 16 it's not lasting long. You get fitted suits. Coats are oversized.

and tastes change so there's no reason to assume he'll want the coat one or two years from now
i've seen ppl be the same size since hs, though

Thanks for your reply to the question. We'll see how the case goes and what the final verdict ends up being for Corey Dunton. If he's found guilty, I say do away with him as quickly as possible.

cosigned. but this doesn't really argue against the point that these kids are def grabbin expensive *** **** for stuntin purposes.
it is status and possibly/allegedly for stashin da toast/bluemagic/w.e they don't want to get caught by police with. why else would they be willing to kill for it? why do kids kill each other over sneakers?
ninjahood made a case for the jacket's technical features. he proved its a coat that will do its job well. and that is keep you warm. regardless of how it looks aesthetically.
you think these kids know that ****? or care? id bet money that it is not the case. hood or not, there is an irrational mentality that motivates these kids into purchasing or killing for a hurt locker suit. im betting its not because they think Marmot is a proven brand that makes quality winter gear...

The logic is flawed because there's too many things that are expensive so why pick a coat?It has to be another reason besides "it shows I got money" .. It's more "I got money and my *** is warm"

What job interview @ 15-17 do you need a $700 suit for?
You can walk into McDonald's wearing jean shorts chewing bubble gum and get a job.

Did you guys miss the first half f my post? Money is better off saved then spent. I don't condone any kid of that age spending 600-700 on a piece of clothing. The suit comment was meant somewhat sarcastically. That said if youre gonna spend that type of money on a status symbol piece of clothing spend it on a suit not a goretex jacket (assuming you live in an urban environment like NY)

Who cares what they spend it on, it's their money.
People buy $50,000 cars, when they could buy a $5,000 used one.
People buy $5,000 watches, when they could buy one for $20.
People up here buy $200 sneakers.
Adults do it too.
Who cares. It's the American way.
It's THEIR money.
I'm sure you've spent your money on something you wanted or bought something expensive, even though you have this holier than thou attitude.

da trick is ALWAYS buy things that withstand da test of time, i still got my North Face bubble they tried me for in 1997 right now, and its
STILL a capable jacket that i can wear in 2013, my steep tech i dropped almost 500 for almost 10 years ago is still very contemporary, and my
first edition north face snorkel i got in 2001 is still more than respectable.

I have my 600 and the snorkel but ive havent bought a real winter coat in a couple years now.
not since HS really cause i hated the way my snorkel would touch the floor when i put it on the back of my seat.
Varsity jacket and hoody is good enough for me to go from the car to the house or work

its da truth, i got da blue and black 2 tone, with da upper arm pocket, only reason i even looked at da marmot is because i needed a black
heavy duty coat, i was tired of matching blue outfits everytime i wanted to stay real warm with da snorkel

i mean yea maybe. other reason like i said was the alleged concealment features the coat offers. otherwise, why not throw on a champion hoody and a flight jacket or some ******** like
