Well well well, this is quite an interesting thread.
Your comment threads are quite hilarious in some parts dude that I struggle to start in a coherent manner.
Firstly, your post on the 17th of May saying you'll give Jack London a month, well i walked pass there today and they seemed to be running. Today is the 18th if you didn't know.
Secondly, the questionable pink jacket, how many seasons and how many designers and labels have created a pink jacket blazer? To vilify Jack London as a biter per sei the only one aroud is a bit ridiculous considering that every brand/fashion house/label are just stealing everyone else's designs. Even your prized and glorified Dior Homme have seen the days of copying. In particular, i believe it was an autumn/winter 04 pea coat that Dior Homme released that was the exact style and stitching which Zegna released 2 seasons prior. Face the facts, everyone bites
ps. Do you honestly think they removed the pink jacket from their display because of this thread? Dont think too highly of yourself, you're not writing for The Age or anything. Have you ever thought that a constantly fresh and new display fronts keep things entertaining for the passer bys? Even if by your faux pas standards, you still manage to stop and look, which is what Jack London probably wants you to do. Does it feel good to know that their marketing strategies can lure even your royally confused standards?
Thirdly, and just to get it out there, enough with your horizontal folk dancing Dior Homme love affair, its sickening to see someone so obsessed with something artificial. Its not like youre getting married to it, although I wont be surprised if you do try. Anyway, thirdly, please dont consider Swanston St so special as to be humbled by your footsteps. Its the busiest street in the CBD for a number of reasons. Jack London made a good decision to set up where there are as there is low competition to match their style and audience and they ascertain maximum exposure from the public, which unfortunately for some, even includes you! (Shock and awe)
Fourthly, their website is www.jacklondon.com.au ; what country in Google are you searching for? Ghana? Ecuador? It might help to change your Google settings to Australia when youre looking for a store in Melbourne and obviously know that Jack London is more than just a store outside Australia. Its also the first search result that comes up. Enough said
Fifthly, price range is affordable for the average Melbourne man. 99% of guys dont need to bother so fastidiously on the latest Lanvin shoes or Louis bag. 99% of Melbournians wont even distinguish between a Burberry coat and a Dangerfield one. I do agree that there should always be a quality vs price matter involved with, daresay I phrase the term lightly, designer fashion. Youre generalizing when you say their quality is inferior and their jackets too thin. I myself was given a pea coat from Jack London and its double layered and quite insulating. For you to give prejudice on their entire range is well, in your own words; HOW DARE YOU!
Meh I cant be bothered writing more, but Im sure Ill be ready to suffer your wraith and retribution. Bring it on baby
Ps. Nice personal profile. I personally enjoy reading such farce haha.
