Reply to comment by copperwatt in Hand me down name tag trail on this child’s jacket by Mofomania

Look, I own some real high quality hand made stuff and I like supporting more ethical businesses

But that doesn't mean it isn't super expensive

I can't believe that "LL Bean shoes are really expensive" is a hot take, like it's literally just a fact

Sorry, I just misunderstood you. I wasn't familiar with the phrase "dummy expensive", so I took it as a variation on "stupid expensive", which usually implies the speaker thinks the thing is expensive for no good reason.

Also, they.... aren't particularly expensive? $149 about normal for good winter boots.

$149 is not expensive at all for good boots. Especially made in USA ones.

Our sense of appropriate price for clothing and footwear has been massively and perversely warped by our collective tacit acceptance of child and slave labor.
