  • Over 30 years in the same job and I still make less than €12.50 an hour

    You're doing it wrong 🙂

    I don't mind paying a higher price for a well made item of clothing that'll (hopefully) last.

    ..yea I wouldn't mind either - alas the point I was trying to make is that their stuff became even more expensive, yet the quality went down.
    Like: a lot of times instead of the (very sturdy / worth-the-money) G1000 fabric you now only get G1000 lite which doesn't last nearly as long.

    I don't mean to bash on them for the sake of bashing, but to give you a really good example - their Kånken rucksack, a thin little thing that lasts about a year before developing holes and looking like shit, omnipresent on the back of hipsters all over Europe, is fucking £85.00 now.

    And it's not made by well paid fairies in Finland but in Vietnam, by the way.

  • I've never understood the Kånken rucksack either. Seems really flimsy and cheaply made to me - I'm not sure I'd pay half that.
