I have to say, I've been skating for about 20 years and the first time I'd ever heard about people wearing shoelaces as belts was around the Dior Homme Hedi / Indie band era, and I was a sponsored skater in the 90's into the early aughts, with parts in tons of skating videos including Toy Machine's Welcome To Hell and World Industries Trilogy. I only mention that last part because I've encountered lots and lots of skaters over the years on a fan, amateur and a pro level. Anyway, just my own personal viewpoint. Maybe it's an east coast or european skater thing.

I see no legal nor ethical copyright issues with recreating high quality clothing.

British serfs, or whatever. He sort of took a period of time and mashed a bunch of European peasant/not upper class styles together. Otherwise Harnden would be doing little more than creating $2000 cosplay.

I must say though, if the quality (materials? Construction? ) is better than Harnden, perhaps it warrants a look. Not exactly a "Fabrixquare copies Rick Owens" cut and dry model.
