It pisses me off SO MUCH that men’s “fashion” is “shirt, t-shirt, jumper, jeans, sneakers, fuck off”.
I spent years trying to get myself some cool, tall boots. Finally found them at a second hand. About a year later managed to identify the company that made them, another year later found the exact model… in their women’s boots category*. Because such boots just do not exist for men.
I had to get a tailor to make my coat, because what I wanted, again, does not exist in the men’s “fashion” world. Or, well, it does - on Temu, and in “goth fashion” stores, where it’s all cheap, crap, plastic, made with slave labour, and extremely tacky.
* I’m still rocking them whenever I can, because fuck that noise.
Anything not made by your local tailor is slave labor. Rule one of fashion supply lines.
Also the fabric your tailor uses is made by slaves. There isn’t another kind, except maybe some dupont-ass bullshit that makes three gallons of forever-waste per sqft and costs 1000$/meter (but it is hydrophobic, stain proof, knife proof, bullet resistant)
