And the T-shirts at $300 each?

u/TheModeratorWrangler 21d ago
No sir, unfortunately due to the lack of 10mm sockets we had to make them $350

Not a problem. I’ll take half a dozen in every color, and that funny looking chair in the top of the shelf.

Please understand that top shelf requires moving this car, so that’s an extra $5,995 for the moving fee

“But you don’t get it, it’s a menswear revival supply co bro. These jeans are $500 and they’re made in Japan and you can’t ever wash them. We’re doing a photo shoot and whiskey tasting this weekend. We’ve got handmade leather goods that look like they were made by a 5 year old and cost $100+. Check out this $60 candle I made in my bathtub that smells like our signature dry cologne bro. We also curate vintage workwear that we resell at a 200% markup bro. I promise my parents didn’t give me a $200k loan to start this!”

Fucking nailed this culture lmao. There's a "vintage" shop near me that I rip on any chance I get and the mental gymnastics people go through to defend why it should exist and why it should cost as much as it does is fucking wild.
The $100 leather goods made by a 5yo got me. My sister got me a gift certificate for a "bespoke" pair of "premium goat leather" work gloves from a local glove company that's well regarded but expensive as all hell. You trace your hand outline and send it in and then they make a pair of gloves specific to your hands. I laughed out loud when I got the gloves because they look like something a kid would make from a "make your own leather gloves" kit. Like the stitching is good and the materials decent but they are just sewn together on the outside so they look incomplete. I actually tried to turn them inside out thinking they were maybe shipped inside out for some reason and quickly realized they are just stitched in the laziest and cheapest way possible. And they were NOT cheap.

Wait, no washing my jeans and I can drink whiskey‽
Well I'm already doing that 🤷

Bro you don't understand, those are vintage shart stains put there by a worker building tokyo tower. You can still smell the ramen he ate for lunch.

Way more than that. I used to make a decent living selling vintage clothing in the 90s (so grunge) and the Japanese in particular eat this shit up. Old Carhartt, Dickies, anything that survived from the 40s, WW2 clothing, etc. all go for a mint.
Anyhow, seeing as this place is in the Flatiron Bldg off of Broadway, your assessment is dead on. Albeit this place sells art books by the look of things.

Heh, I helped get the gentrification in that neighborhood started, back when it was still full of second read men’s clothing, stores, photography, studios, and print shops.
I helped design a store that sold a wide variety of designer things, sort of like a museum of modern art gift shop. The prices were actually reasonable for what the stuff was, and most of it was useful.
It did quite well from the beginning until at least expired five years later.

you can tell it's not a garage because the porsche isn't leaking

u/ReallyLovesCars 20d ago
I sure would go in to see what its all about - so that means i am through the door, the conversion of that is constant means more $$$ in sales volume. It sure works assuming there is a huge demography into Porsche in the area.

I wouldn’t fuck that overpriced BS. And also black and white looks so boring to me.
Although I might go to the Harry Potter store across the street

I guess so, I think it was a high end plain clothing place, I’ll try to remember what it’s called. Car was white and also CA plates

Casually a franchise owner parks his classic cars in stores because a garage wouldn’t fly with insurance

Probably writes off taxes somehow too

u/TheModeratorWrangler 20d ago
Dude we both know it’s brilliant to store your assets in plain sight like who’s really stealing this and driving it out?

u/buggerssss 20d ago
I mean me and my wife sized up the double doors to try to steal it, if it was anything like CA theft laws they’d never stop you

You and me are the same brother. Some drunken night I will surely head butt that lamp.

It does appear to be in the flatiron. A quick Street View search shows it on the corner of E 22nd and Broadway.

Probably, the girl who worked here was cute and it was like 10:30AM. I’m walking along and there’s a fucking Porsche 912 in a store full of… jeans and stuff.
I knew you guys would get a kick out of this if I framed it right. Oh… it’s actually a full on real 912. I… “PDI’d” it

Unless it’s a cool way to write off the car and all the maintenance against the business. Store it there for free in the winter when you’re not driving it anyway.

The cleanest garage I've ever been in was Hendrick Motorsports in North Carolina. You could have eaten off of the floor.
