Do I Need Gucci $2,500 Leather Jacket To Help Me Look Good & Be Stylish or Does Gucci Need Me? Comparing My Black Leather Gear To Gucci Gear. Dressing Room Photo Shoot.
I have been in quite a few airports of late and if you know me then you know I don't buy things almost ever, especially in airports!
However if you know me then you also know style/fashion is a passion for me. I have a great respect for the aesthetics of many companies/brands such as Gucci yet cannot support them because they are grossly unsustainable and literally raping the people and land of this earth.
This is why I started my own clothing line, jewelry line, hand made knifes accessories etc. So that I could have nice, fashionable, high quality and more importantly, sustainable/honorable/ethical gear!
Also because I love Steem/Steemit so much I make the most sustainable SteemGear in the world and have designed over 100 unique hand made SteemGear items! You can see this hand made custom white leather Steem Suit I made for SteemFest 2 in Lisboa!
However just for fun I figured as I was in an airport for over 12 hours I may as well play around in the Gucci store/dressing room and see what this world class high fashion was all about! The dressing room was very sleek, clean and luxurious.
So first off here I am in the dressing room in my black leather outfit that I put together for SteemFest of which much of the clothing and jewlery/accessories are part of my line of which I designed and made my self or had made in high sustainable fashion!
Here is a better photo taken the same day.
As you can see I am wearing a custom made black leather SteemCap. One of at least 25 different SteemCaps I have made over the year.
So thats my outfit of which is obviously far more sustainable but does it pass the style test?
Now here is me in the $2,500 leather jacket. Which is a bit expensive but I have sold my custom leather jackets and pants for almost that much before as well. So its not really about the price.
Well its pretty cool for sure, very well made, high quality materials and a good cut. Though maybe its just cause of my crazy look/style, but I think my sustainble hand made leather jacket looks at least as good as this one does.
Either way there is no chance that I would contribute $2,500 to an unethical and unsustainable corp as Gucci though I bless them and do respect their high end fashion.
Tell me what you think!
I am now doing 50/50 payout posts simply because the SBD is so insanely high at the moment, but I will be converting it all to $teem and powering up of course!
I appreciate your support and am grateful to be here on Steemit. I welcome any feedback you have to offer as well as an upvote!
SteemOn!
Not only does Gucci need you, the world needs you!!! Thanks for setting the example of sustainable living--a life that actually helps the earth and its people, rather than raping, ignoring the devastating impact and often times intentionally damaging it for selfish gain. Blessed to witness and be a part of your vortex in raising awareness.
Thank god!
Thank god indeed!!!!
Repeat times infinity!!!
Looking uniquely dapper once again!
ahaha thanks Dawg!
Always nice to see ya around. Saw you had a nice time with @onceuponatime always love seeing Steeminas getting together and having a great time!
Gucci needs me 😂😂😂
Hopefully they realize it!
GUCCI is Just a designer. It flourish in seasons. A time would come nothing would be hear nor seen about GUCCI. Its globally common-
Common things looses its value.
This really make you unique and outstanding. The Universe really need you
Thank you very much. I am committed to being an example and helping this earth and the universe.
Blessings~*~
Go on and prosper
Goodluck

You rock them both!! But sustainable adds the edge of course. Might give you even more inspiration to add to the gigantic pool of inspiration you already have!!
hahahaha OHHHH SO MUCH INSPIRATION!!!! What to DOO with it ALL!!!
hahahaha yes to me Sustainability is of paramount importance, wish some big world renowned corp like this would bring me on or at least integrate some sustainability into the business plan.
They realy should. When such profits are made consideration should be given to such things. But they never do, the bassas!
Yea, I mean in some ways it would cut into profits because these huge mega corps cut so many corners for the bottom line of profit but I believe they could actually make more because they would be doing something people would respect and honor and thus gain more popularity and a higher valued product.
Hopefully its not to much longer before this change in consciousness happens, if not we won't have much of a world left haha
Yours looks like genuine leather. Their's looks like plastic.
I almost never shop either. I bought a $100 leather jacket on sale in the summer of 1998 and it's starting to split along the collar. Can something like that be patched?
Or maybe I should save my SBD up to buy something from you!
Oh Yes its genuine leather all right!
Yes a high quality jacket will last a long time ut your on 20 years now and with every day wear its going to wear out. Of course it can be patched but most likely the entire thing is getting thin and worn so just depends on if you have the materials, skill and time and if your looking for just basic function or looks. If your going for any kind of looks or style then ur better off getting a new one.
I make a lot of custom leather work though its a bit expensive generally $500 and up. I do however have nice leather jackets that are not custom for $100 ish.
Sure is nice that SBD is so high right now 8 SBD is like $100!!!!!!
If your interested in let me know and we can explore practical potential!
SteemON!
Haha that is a crazy post! Such a huge ego! You are a really funny guy and I am sure that Gucci has something to learn from you, mister. :)
Hey Im glad you found this post entertaining. Yes they have much to learn, the question is do they care.
Anyways I am very fulfilled with my life and choices. Grateful for your comment and hope to see you around =)>
Gucci needs you @quinneaker :-P
hahaha I would agree ;-)>
As according to me one doesn't need a costly thing. What one needs is a good health, healthy life and respect.
Of course!
