I’ve been watching a lot of fashion videos on YouTube. They’re entertaining and informational, very nice. I love this guy that runs the Iron Snail channel.

I think fabrics, designs, and the history of garments is actually really interesting.

Still, the more I watch these videos, the more I realize how ridiculous the whole Japanese denim thing is. I just don’t see it. Being Japanese makes no difference! The prices are ridiculous, I just can’t get behind it. I’m not a Japanese denim hater, by any means—I don’t know enough about Japanese denim or denim in general to have a strong opinion about this—but this whole shebang stinks of bogus.

I don’t know.

Still, the more I watch and the more I research, the more fascinated I become with natural fabrics. Wool, cotton, leather. You really could make every piece of clothing you may need with those 3, it’s crazy. Metal and wood are probably also good to have.

They’re not even that expensive, which I find pretty crazy. You can get 100% cotton clothes for less than €60 pretty easily, a variety of designs and styles and use-cases. It’s really cool, it’s really really cool. The more I look into this stuff the more I want to look.

I’ll keep looking at this stuff.
