J lindeberg ski clothing

lindenburg sucks, the holister of skiing. Don't throw your money at it just because they put Jon on their team. Buy a dope jacket at the flea market, I'm doing that next weekend.
 
That's so stupid, they make an excellent product, and who doesn't want designer outerwear? Just because you don't have enought money to buy nice stuff, doens't mean other people shouldn't.
 
Its actually not much more expensive than some of Oakleys stuff, but it is incredibly hard to find. Apparently Jon will be at Harrods on the 15th for the opening of JL's futuresports line, which is the first place I've heard so far that will carry the products. I dont know what the big fuss over JL is anyway, I would totally wear that stuff if I could find it.
 
im pretty sick of everyone hating on jl. hes an amazing designer who puts a lot of work into every piece they make. their streetwear stuff is great, im a big fan of theit aesthetic as a whole. the ski clothes, yeah, theyre expensive. just because jon olsson wears them, it doesnt mean that they need to make clothes at a price that 13 year old park kids can afford. if that was the goal, then theyd make it more readily available so people could buy it. its great looking, amazingly constructed, and super exclusive. look at some other designer outerwear, and youll see its a bargain compared to some of the other stuff people are putting out, ie. prada, boss, etc. youre not supposed to be able to afford it on your part time salary...designer clothing is an investment, and you get what you pay for. if thats not your thing, theres plenty more to pick from.
 
well harrods has everything thats expensive.

i think some shops in like aspen, maybe vail too, have some of it. but it is expensive, at least the stuff thats even worth consideration
 
id say your gonna have a pretty tuff time finding it in any sports store.

go to a designer district, watch for people coming out of stores getting into beamers, benz, volvo, lambo, etc, enter then stores they just exited.

let me know how that works out
 
at high north a sales rep came in and said we all could have the marked down prototype price for all of 07s stuff. the cheapest thing there was still 250 for pants. some looked pretty cool, a little to "maybelline paris" for me but still fairly neat
 
I'll explain myself. Anyone who buys lindenburg shit does not know the value of money. All it is, is a European fashion company like Diesel that is trying to make money by playing off the "this stuff is exclusive and only for money makers". fuck that. they do little if anything for skiing at all. its a novelty brand and in the end, no one gives a fuck if you spent $1000 dollars on a jacket, in fact, if I saw any newschooler with lindenburg shit I would laugh in their face for being so fucking stupid.
 
"I wear a 15 dollar XXXL jersey I bought at the Denio's flea market, along with some $1 apiece tall tees, and a $2 dollar doo rag or 5 dollar long beaner. I look more baller than any of those other muthafuckas throwing away their money on brand name gangsta shit. "

Well I'd laugh in your face for having such god-awful style. Cool XXXL jersey and doo-rag you white trash piece of shit. Maybe you have no regard for quality clothes? Not that I'm particularily defending Diesel (overpriced eurotrash), but to say that spending alot of money on clothes is rediculous is a pretty terrible conclusion. There's plenty of clothes that are really expensive that are quite worth it. Some people understand that paying extra for clothes that have a good fit and are constructed to last a long time may be a wise investment. $400 shoes may seem expensive but when they last you the rest of your life, not to mention look way better than cheap shit its all well spent money.

 
haha, for one, their stuff isn't that expensive, that was only Jon's leather jacket that was that expensive.

two, how does other people buying nice clothes involve you? Just because someone doesn't want to buy the same oakley suit that everyone has, doesn't mean they're stupid.

And it is only for "moneymakers", it's exclusive, so more people want it. Just like the Oakley Jersey's, they're more of a novelty item, then just wearing a jersey. So if you go out in your Steve And Barry's jersey and think your a baller, think again.
 
Wrong bitch. Skiing is about having fun and I have fun by throwing down in tall tees and gangsta shit. Any time I get a rail stain its no big deal, I just buy another tall tee. That sounds like better spent money than buying a brand name piece of shit that is going to get ruined.

Throwing money at smething does not mean that it is quality. I stand by my conclusion completely, excessively expensive clothes are a fucking waste. $400 dollar pretty boy shoes? Bitch please, I'll spit on that shit.

If you were to laugh at me for wearing cheaper shit than you I would stab you on the spot.

And for the record, I'm Chilean and not white trash so before you're going to assume anything pull your head our of your ass.

 
Furthermore, any kid on this site looking for lindenburg shit has probably never worked a day in their life.
 
I'd like to know how you came to that conclusion dumbass? I worked an average of 65-70 hours a week this summer working 2 jobs and have done so for the last 3 years. I had a paper-route from the age of 8 and started working at the age of 14(the earliest you could legally hold a job in NH). I'm now in school pursuing a 6 year doctorate degree. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind I have a much, much stronger work ethic than you.
 
You should probably work a little bit on your reading comprehension. I stated pretty obviously that just because you spend alot of money on something does not make it quality. What i said was that there are expensive clothes that are well worth the money. Hence the example of a $400 pair of shoes that will last you the rest of your life. Notice I did not use the example of a pair of $200 diesel jeans. Those are absolutely a waste because they are simply glorified AE Jeans. However there are $200 jeans that are worth it because they are made to last.

APC, Dior, any japanese selvege denim really.

I never once claimed that expensive clothing equalled quality, and i also never backed up J Lindeberg quality as I am not fully educated on how their clothes are constructed or of their fit. But to make the statement that all expensive clothing is a waste of money is completely ignorant on every level...
 
I highly doubt you worked 65-70 hours a week. That would mean you worked 7 days a week at least 9-10 hours each day. You need to ease up on the work and get a life.

Secondly, people who shop at expensive clothes stores are not the sort of people that are content with the same outfit for very long.
 
let see...average week.

Sunday:10-5 (7)

Monday:9-3,3-8 (11)

Tuesday:9-3, 3-8 (11)

Wed: 2-8 (6) or 9-5 (8)

Thurs: 9-3, 3-8 (11)

Fri: 9-3, 3-8 (11)

Sat: 9-5 (8)

=65-67 hours. I had 4 days off all summer, and worked some wednesdays all day. But for the most part this was my normal schedule. It's still possible to have a life as most things one does w/ friends occurs after 8. I still ski'd 40 days last year, as well as being a full time student and enjoying the things that go along w/ that.

Perhaps your pre-concived notions about kids with nice things being spoiled is not so accurate. Quite a few people that have nice things have worked pretty damn hard to earn them, and don't appreciatte tools like yourself thinking your some sort of revolutionist for wearing $1 tall tees and knowing how to live cheaply. Maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror and realize you look like a slob, and most slobs don't do too well in the world of making a living and providing well for their families. Hope you enjoy that dead end job. At least they let you wear them tall tees and doo-rags to mcdonalds. (under the killer uniform of course)
 
sid_vicious is just mad because hes white trash and can't afford or appreciate nice clothing.
 
Perhaps you're a fool and should give up some of the "nice things" instead of working 7 days a week like a tool. In the end its time you sacrificed of your short life just to impress people with your material shit.

I am no slob and I'm also not stupid enough to sacrifice my entire summer to work.

 
not to get involved in this argument at all, did you know that working for just 2 summers, making just 4000 dollars total over those two summers, and investing just that 4k in a roth IRA makes you a millionair by the time you're 65? and you don't have to do a thing! i started when i was 12, put in 3k that year... 13 was 4k... 14, 5k... and 15, now, 5k again. your increase a grand for each you do it, but you can't put any more than 5k in once you reach that point. that statistic was based on if you put 2k in at 16 and 2k in at 17. think of the mulah. anywho, peace.
 
I don't work to afford nice things. I work to put myself through 6 years of school, so I can have a stable rest of my life once I graduate.

And just because I work alot does not mean I don't have a life. It just means I don't waste a whole lot of time sitting on my ass at home doing meaningless things. I work and I hang out and do things with friends, I just don't waste much time in the summer. Something I have an eerie feeling you do.

Also, I dont know too many people who wear xxxl tall tees, cheap basketball jerseys and doo-rags that aren't slobs. You pretty much defined a slob right there.

If I'm not mistaken you also claimed you looked "more baller than any of those mother fuckers", showing you have just as much of a desire to impress people with your "look". It just happens to be different.

Why don't you read one of your statements: "Wrong bitch. Skiing is about having fun and I have fun by throwing down in tall tees and gangsta shit." You have fun wearing tall tees and what not, and that is perfectly fine. The problem arises when you don't respect the fact that other people have fun wearing nice clothes and having nice things. That doesnt make them "stupid".

Oya, the outfit I wore skiing last year cost me $130 and I will be wearing it every day this year as well.
 
probably the new best thread on newschoolers just because of the complete ignorance of vicious and his inability to accurately dispute any points made against him. responding to "id laugh in your face" with "id fucking stab you" is the kind of thing a seven year old says who cant handle the fact that not everyone is going to like you...especially if you look like a fool.

people who arent familiar with the many facets of the clothing industry really need to leave well enough alone. i consider clothing to be a legitimate interest of mine, and i spend a while looking into it, finding out about who makes quality worthy of my hard earned money, etc. the aesthetic that i choose to portray happens to be a more refined, mature look, as opposed to the 'baller as fuck' attitude that many of the people in this sport tend to choose to reflect in their clothing. and to be honest, i can respect that, to a point. but what you cant seem to wrap your head around is the fact that just as easy as it is to spend a lot of money on high-fashion/couture clothing, you can spend quite a bit more just as easily on high-end streetwear, which, incidentally, is of nowhere near the quality of designer pieces simply because the price is usually reflective upon exclusivity, rather than attention to detail.

buy a legit japan exclusive bape hoody on ebay for $1200, some selvage red monkey/evisu jeans for $800, etc...you can see where im going with this. the result is an absurdly expensive outfit that blows away anything you can put together from lindeberg's line. and once you get past the 'one of fifty produced' appeal that these clothes are based upon, youre left with a mediocre-at-best outfit that does nothing beyond screaming 'i look like a clown'. ive been to the lindeberg store in new york and can tell you, the quality is second to few. youre getting what you pay for.

i could go on and on with this argument, but the bottom line is that newschoolers.com is not the place to go to find people with legitimate knowledge about clothing. you dont like lindeberg, dont buy it. keep wearing your basketball jerseys and oversized tshirts, thats fine. youll eventually look back once youve matured and realize that it was an immature style to portray in the first place, i can guarantee it. for now though, if thats what youre into, then by all means, wear it. but youre just making complete fools out of yourself trash talking people with different (and often much more sophisticated) styles than your own.
 
dude, you can stop now. you've owned him so bad that his head most likely started to bleed from even begining to think of a comeback.
 
Last time I checked, skiing was an expensive sport. A base setup alone can cost you well over a thousand including a season pass. Some people pay more money for skis, bindings, boots, clothing and probably most astonishing, even poles. Does something being pricey have an effect on its quality? No! I can crap on a plate and ask $400 for it and its still shit. But price is related to quality. Thats why we buy skis that cost $700 instead of some old homemade twin tips your neighbor made. Thus, there is a relationship between price and quality that is usually relative; if you spend $20 on ski pants, you're most likely going to have cold wet legs all season. If you want to spend $$$$ and buy an Aerxy suit, it'll probably be the best outerwear you'll ever own.

But the fact remains. None of you guys own this shit, let alone have seen it up close, let alone have even seen it for sale! Tell me the exact price of the suit Jon was wearing at the last JOI! The only thing you guys are probably making your claims off of was the leather ski suit featured in Freeskiers buyers guide, which was fucking outrageously halarious. Until a time comes when JL stuff is in shops and availible to people other than Mr Olsson, I'm just basing my opinion of the gear on the only thing I'm sure of: How it looks. I personally love it. I would wear a pink ski suit any day, and bring on the fur. I honestly like how its different from the baggy-ass XXXL gear thats dominating the market. You cant find Oakley gear that actually fits you anymore, they just make it huge so your body is lost in it. Half the reason I like the JL stuff so much is because its refreshing and injecting new ideas into the clothing we wear. Honestly, i know its not everyones style, and hell, I probably couldnt afford it. But I like the idea, the style and what its bringing into the world of skiing (and also its posterboy, go Jon!), and thus I'll stand behind it.

And honestly, if you want to complain about the cost of skiing... its not cheap, but we all make sacrifices for what we like.
 
quick fyi...ive actually been priveleged enough to see their outerwear (and yes, if you get the chance to see it in person, youll agree that priveleged is the right word). cuts are amazing, construction is unlike anything that anyone else is doing, and the prices really arent too bad. i'd assume what i saw wasnt the exact suit jon was wearing for joi, but a similar suit that i did see was around $400 for the jacket and about $275 for the pants.

and that goat leather outfit is unbelievable, and a steal at that price for geniuine leather.
 
'Does something being pricey have an effect on its quality? No! I can crap on a plate and ask $400 for it and its still shit. But price is related to quality. '

Does anyone understand his first argument? I didn't think so...

'if you spend $20 on ski pants, you're most likely going to have cold wet legs all season. If you want to spend $$$$ and buy an Aerxy suit, it'll probably be the best outerwear you'll ever own.

'

And why choose Aeryx? first year company, it's not the best outerwear you can find.
 
i found a sessions suit at a ski swap real dope, 15k waterproofing for 100 total. hmmm....pretty cheap....so im assuming the quality sucks balls? naahhh...
 
what was the original price killer? I'm pretty sure it didnt retail for $100.

Also, the argument that's been made multiple times is that price does not necessarily reflect quality but it certainly can! Plenty of things are overpriced, sure, but they'res also plenty of things that price reflects quality.

once again. Price does not reflect quality, but expensive things can be well worth the $$. Got it?
 
prolly like 250 for jacket 200 for pants, they were just way marked down cuz they were a cuple years old, stilla sick suit tho.
 
No, the only person bleeding out the head is parker. No sane person can work 7 days a week and still support any kind of decent standard of living. I feel bad for the guy.

I stand by my point completely, buying j lindenburg sucks. This is not so say that all clothing that is expensive is a waste but a significant portion is. Clothing that has pricing based on exclusivity, rather than quality, is a complete waste i.e. Bape sweatshirts, Se7en Jeans, ect. Lindenburg is just another European company like Diesel that makes ski gear. Perhaps you consider it good quality but I would put my life on that you can find much better quality gear for a cheaper price from a company that actually supports the industry and does not just pretend to. Lindenburg is nothing more than a fucking fashion company.
 
Augh, fuck me for writing that when it was really late and when I was so tired. Ok, let me be a little more clear:

'Does something being pricey have an effect on its quality? No! I can crap on a plate and ask $400 for it and its still shit. However, I would have to be mentally unstable to go and put my very highly regaurded name brand on that and market it alongside my other very sucessful products. I'll bet if people went ahead and bought the poop, they would be highly dissapointed and my brand would lose its respectability and mark of quality. So, asking a lot of money for a shitty (ahaha) product is generally not a good idea for your company, agreed? Thus, companies try and uphold the quality of thier brand by marketing good quality products.

If you go and line up 30 ski jackets by price, the majority of the better constructed and durable ones will wind up near the higher end of the scale, right? Sure, there will be a few in the middle that have amazing quality, but for the most part, the more expensive your jacket, the better it will hold up, fit, etc. When you pay out the ass, you're likely to get a pretty good jacket. I have no idea if JL makes the best jackets however, so I cant comment on this specific situation thus. But price is usually related to the quality of a product.

And I chose Aerxy because it was just a brand that came to mind, you can pretty much just replace it with another outerwear company if you want to I guess, it was just to illustrate a point.

 
Standard of living: "The degree of wealth or material comfort available to a person or community."

It seems as though you may possibly be the dumbest person on this website. You have a complete inability to structure logical arguments in the fact that you have an elementary level of vocabulary skills. (at best) I don't know that I can waste any more time attempting to hold a logical argument with such a fucking idiot, but I probably will because it has been quite entertaining.

 
Dude, so is Oakley, or almost any other ski company. Do you really think those sunglasses cost $150 to make? That your Seths cost $600 to produce per pair? You are always paying for the brand, its how buisness works. If you dont like it go and wear paper bags.

And go find me a picture of where your or anyone elses JL gear has failed in quality. Please.
 
also please define supporting the industry to me? I was under the impression that involves sponsoring riders, sponsoring events, and paying for advertisements in magazines. Which oddly enough are all done by JL. I can pretty much gurantee you that they put more cash into the freeskiing industry than Line did last year, simply by paying Jon Olsson's contract.
 
Perhaps that was the wrong term to use. Quality of life would have been a better one. Don't get too excited you moron there are other definitions as well. Working 7 days a week does not display a high level of comfort in everyday life. I would say someone who lives in a small house near a Costa Rican beach who owns little to nothing but manages to get by and surf almost everyday has a higher standard of living than someone working their ass off everyday for expensive material shit such as a new Mercedes.

Here's another definition.

"a grade or level of subsistence and comfort in everyday life enjoyed by a community, class, or individual"

I could care less if you think I'm dumb because in the end I'm the one enjoying life. You're the one pissing time you'll never get back working every day of your life for someone who just gets richer off you. You are the one who is a fucking idiot, while you spent your entire summer working I was surfing out in Santa Cruz, working part time for a little extra, and living within my means.

Also, I do not understand how you can support people who buy extravagant shit when you supposively can barely afford to live.

 
Yea...I dont care JL is fine....You just made one of the most ignorant statement I have ever heard. "JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY IT" It makes you sound like a rich little prick who doesnt know the value of money or respect anyone around them man. Its just an ignorant statement. Now im done E fighting. Pce
 
Nobody gave a fuck about JL until Jon Olson became sponsored by them, putting him on the payrole was just a marketing ploy. These people don't give a fuck about newschool skiing they're just trying to sell their overpriced shit by putting it on a newschool ski icon like Olson. Saying JL supports skiing is the same as saying Abercrombie and Fitch supports snowboarding or that Hollister supports surfing. It's fucking fake, Jl is a fashion company for rich fuckers in Sweden, nothing more.
 
hahahaha..your such a fucking idiot.

Of course no one gave a fuck about JL before Jon was sponsored by them seeing as JL DID NOT MAKE SKI GEAR until they brought on Jon to design the gear and be the front man of the company. Sponspring Jon: A marketing ploy? All pro teams are a marketing ploy. That's just the name of the game, and if you don't think so you are completely blind. If a company could make the same amount of money by not having a team they would. But in order to be competetive in the industry one must sponsor a team.

And saying that JL and Abercrombie/Holister are on the same level of industry involvement is actually quite humorous. Please tell me how many surfers abercrombie sponsors? I'm sorry but if you weren't aware supporting an industry simply funnels down to putting money back into the industry. If you are unable to grasp this concept than please stop trying to form an argument about it. You can't.

And just so you're a touch more informed, JL is not for rich fuckers in Sweden. JL fell of the high end train in Sweden long ago. It's actually quite an average brand there.
 
Ok, to date, JL has:

-Sponsored Jon Olsson

-Put on JOI in 2004/5, producing some of the sickest skiing I have ever seen

-Put on JOI in 2005/6, moving a record amount of snow and constructing one of the largest jumps ever that also held the debut of Jons Kangaroo Flip

And of course it was a marketing ploy, and heres another bombshell: all sponsorships are! JL actually does shit for our sport, and the clothing they make, which I realize not everyone likes the style of, looks sick to me. Dislike it, go right ahead, but JL has already contributed a lot to our sport, and I think its nice to have a different kind of company interested in the ski world.
