WTF

Yes, peasant, we've discussed it here some pages back.

I'm a bit surprised at the negative reactions Bergfabel is getting on here. The accusation of being a Harnden knockoff is ridiculous, anyone who has ever been to Südtirol will recognize where the shapes of the garments (and even the fabrics to some extent) come from. Even the brand's name implies that it's romanticising the traditional clothes of that region. A brand can't claim intellectual ownership of a historical thing just because they're the first to make an expensive version of it for rich people overseas. And that aside, the two are not even THAT similar when you get a chance to see Bergfabel's product in person.

It's funny that people are calling Klaus a copycat, yet don't hesitate to praise any and all Carpe Diem knockoffs.

When I saw Bergfabel at Hotoveli, I thought they got Harnden and I was five feet away from the garments. A bit of wishful thinking on your part there, buddy.

Haven't seen such a copycat for a long time .Even 10 Sei 0 Otto has some unique pieces among replicas ,but this...You must be kidding

Right, that's what I'm confused about. My house is a mix between hardwood floors and carpet in other areas, so it doesn't make sense to wear shoes around the house. Especially in the winter, if your shoes/boots are muddy as hell. One could argue that you could take your boots off in the winter, but then you wear your shoes around the house for the rest of the year so going bare feet or wearing slippers would just result in walking in all that dirt trekked in from your shoes.

1) You wash the floors
2) You wash your shoes

i've ran into the stuff in two different countries, and im going to have to agree it's fundamentally more utilitarian than paul's jackets, the shape is a little boxier, the sleeves a little wider, it's certainly a different animal.

Michael brought that label in? Why am I not surprised?

shoes at home? get civilized you fucking animals. why would you bring the filth from outside which you're trying to avoid by putting on some foot condoms in the first place?

it's cultural, mental, depends on the type of building etc, but your own home is a sanctuary; a protection from the filth outside. i'm not talking microscopic since it's pretty much unavoidable, but visible crap (unfortunately sometimes literally). freaking mutts.

Seriously? I get distressing and all but this is way over the top...

might as well skip wearing pants completely. you could do something "alright" (layering) with them but most would just do it wrong so it ends up an insult to eyes everywhere either way.

edit; scratch that, way too distressed and tacky.

[eat me]

completely agree with volta re shoes inside.

But then again, some people throw away things on the street instead of waiting to see a rubbish bin .

[galia]

I think most people should chill. if you wipe your shoes before coming in, don't live in a particularly dirtifying environment, and clean your house semi-regularly, then I don't see the problem honestly.

and anyway, a little grime isn't going to kill you + if you have a pet that renders the whole point moot to begin with. unless you make your pet wear shoes outside or you clean its paws whenever it comes in, but then I pity your pet even more than I pity you...

Some people here would freak out if they came to any house in Argentina. I take off my shoes at times when I´m at home but it´s not a daily thing, and most people probably never do it, maybe for comfort but I don´t think they´re thinking about all the germs they´re bringing from outside. At times this is pretty bad because people even go to someone else´s house if it´s raining outside and they´ve got mud all over their shoes, so it´d be nice if the "no shoes inside" were to translate here. Wishful thinking, though, since society is a few steps behind on a bunch of issues.
