Walked into L'Eclaireur today and the next season's jackets are 500 euro more expensive than the last season's. So, here is an open letter from Faust to Paul Harnden.

Paul,

You are an asshole. You have capitalized on the exposure StyleZeitgeist have given you by consistently jacking up prices by 20-30% each season for the past few years, pricing out the very people who not only appreciate your work but make it look good, so others can buy into it. I know you won't read this, but someone who knows you will. So, fuck you.

Faust

Agreed

[Chinorlz]

500 euro MORE? So... they're at 2100 euro apiece now or more?

That is out of control.

[TriggerDiscipline]

How do we know there's not a reason?
New vintage fabric or something like manufacturing has become more expensive for whatever reason etc.

had to lol. PH is not raising for the first time.

I think the very first PH jacket that I've got was around 1200Pounds, that was a few years back. This is getting out of hand (or it already has)

[unwashed]

If it was Bespoke, made by hand using handmade materials maybe then prices would be more justified. 2500+ for a wool, cotton jacket......

[yay]

PH blazer was always out of my price range, now it's definitely out of my interest range

[cjbreed]

Yeah I think he may have fucked himself on this deal. Over capitalizing on the hype train will quickly derail said hype train. A business can't be sustained by a handful of ballers on instagram and obvious dick moves like this seasonal price jacking will lead his less wasteful fans to start looking elsewhere

[Chinorlz]

crazy... I bought my first PH at full retail from IF 4 years ago and it was $1200 for the New Blazer in Black 1.

Elena here we come....

have a look at Comme Homme SS16.
Harnden does find great prints but CDGH really hit a chord that's along the same vein.

PH is a one trick pony. There is only so many times he can sell the same shit to his client base. Makes perfect sense to exploit it while it lasts.

Raggle taggle, Nein Danke.

carol's still going strong though

carol's prices have remained fairly consistent, and at this point they are a relative bargain.
