Bottom line here guys is that we have offered extremely price-point product for YEARS now. Think about it - everything we've done for the newschoolers store has aimed to be cheap, cheap, cheap. And you know what? It was cheap. We got a TON of people asking us for higher quality product.
Admittedly maybe we went bananas on this one trying to go quality.... and admittedly the cost went way up when we went with a low quantity.
However - this is exactly what a lot of people have asked for. Those of you who are extremely price sensitive, we will continue to offer cheap branded items and you can buy those. However, the ones of you who want to step into a new level of quality for Newschoolers, and appreciate spending money on good stuff, then dive in on this badboy. Its a simple hoodie, but damn is it awesome.
If you can make yourself clothing for cheap then Fucking GO FOR IT! I mega respect people who can take the amount of time to sew. Now - when you do that also remember you have to factor in your hourly rate against the materials cost... and pretty soon you'll be up to a high cost.
But seriously though, if your style is buying vintage or making your own cloths... then fucking awesome. I'm stoked for you, I'm like that too.
However, once in a while I like to not wear crap, and like to step up.
If you're stoked on Newschoolers, Jiberish and quality... then this is a great product for you. If not, then take a pass and jump on the next one.
I understand you guys wanted to give high quality but looking at the amount of complaints about the price maybe you didn't evaluate correctly the proportion of members that are price sensitive... this community is largerly made of teenagers ya know...
^^Ha. Do you think they are going to have to re-price this because kids are mad? There are 150 of each color. You won't have to worry about the price because you won't be able to get one.
$100 shipped on a hoody? Sucks to be the sucker who buys this shit. I will never buy jiberish because of this price gouging. The fact that they are able to release 300 of them and make bank says a lot about how they are priced. I have lost all respect for both brands.
Way cool, i won't be getting one, but people are going to but them, so why wouldn't a company do this. Gross capitalism. on a side note the blue looks better than black but neither amazing, at least not compared to other jibberish pieces in my opinion.
not my favorite hoodie ever but still pretty sick. that said, nobody should be that surprised about the cost. you've all seen price of normal jiberish so suck it up and if you can't accept it don't buy it.
