[@josephjankowski1153]

I went through a similar transition, but the reason I started buying all of the technical clothing in the first place was because I got really into hiking. Once I got a few pieces, I quickly realized that it's just far superior to all of the junk I had been wearing, for most of the reasons you describe. That revelation was totally unexpected.

[@chriswheeler6092]

I look for items that perform well. It's more about value for me. A Columbia coat costs a little more than people usually want to spend,but it lasts for years and will get them through all weather conditions. I like being able to unzip the fleece and wear the outer as a light rain jacket. North face is good,but I think that their prices are a little bit higher than people are willing to spend.

[@groberti]

​@@chriswheeler6092100% mate! Columbia is just a very good value brand and quality is much better than regular fast fashion brands and only a bit more expensive. Patagonia, TNF tend to be super overpriced

[@cybersurfer3d837]

This is very insightful. I’ve always loved these brands and have a lot of northface, Patagonia, and marmot gear. Here in Oregon, these brands are very popular, it’s almost the main style for people who live in the Pacific Northwest. We’re all on the same page and now it makes sense

[@aldiooril1577]

I like how he's advising us to be ourselves and don't copy others while wearing an outfit that he also copied from other people

[@Alexandra-rv3ug]

As you said we associate different styles to different ideas. So what we wear is an expression of ourselves. Said that you can wear anything you want, as long as you like it. Not with the principal aim of projecting something to others, but just to express yourself to your self (and secondarily others too). It's okay to like something (as a result of what we've been exposed to) and want it for us too. And if we are enough conscious of ourselves is different from trying to associate ourselves with a style and so idea. I personally like having my own clothes made for me. And sometimes i make myself my own accessories (like bags, in a way i find more useful to me), in this way i can fully express my style (and we all have one). So my advice is being creative. And thank you for speaking your mind, the upfront style is the best.😊🌻

[@David7pm]

i agree on so many points, as always nice video! thank you

[@user-rb8oz4ex4w]

When I became a backpacker many years ago, I changed all my clothings to patagonia, it was just so well made. layering is the way to go to keep yourself warm in all terrains. I no longer backpacking but still wear outdoor clothes, they are the most comfy and last like forever.

I totally agree with you. People who wear hiking clothes are concerned with efficiency, durability but the clothes can be worn for a long time as it never goes out of style. It never looks snobby but it projects and image of success tempered with moderation. I would say poorer people can save money with this type of clothing because it lasts longer. It is like an all terrain vehicle. It looks right in any setting and is functional in any setting. It is also minimalistic. Even millionaires who are independent don't like to waste their money. Some of the Columbia camp shirts believe it or not look good with the right color tie and makes you look some sort trend setter. I hate trendy clothes. It is for the dumb down masses who are duped into mass consumerism. All their clothes have to be thrown and soon as the trend is over.

I’ve always loved North Face as a brand mainly because I do a lot of outdoor activities, running, mountain hiking, travelling etc. What I always loved about TNF is it reminded me of things I love and obviously because it’s functional for what I use it for. I’ve noticed though that in some products their quality is less than it used to be and they’re too focused on profit. At the end of the day I buy the best quality I can afford for the price and will never be religiously loyal to any brand. It all depends on value for money. A few weeks ago I bought a Patagonia Goretex Pro jacket because it was hands down the best value for money, and nothing from TNF seemed to be Goretex pro…at least not for that price. It was on sale and in australia I paid $531 for it. I’ve never spent that much on a jacket before but as I do outdoor activities in bad weather for me it’s a good investment. Absolutely love it and the quality is first class. I’ve always worn what I wanted because it’s what I like, I don’t care if anyone else does. I bought a $100 shirt because I loved it for myself, I don’t care if anyone else does. It may be the one and only time I spend that much on a shirt so if I love it it’s worth it. Basically it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing Gucci or K Mart so long as you’re happy. It should never about impressing anyone else.
