But he might have a line on some shirts that could come back in style.

The multitrillion-dollar business of fashion, with its complex and long supply chain, is worryingly vexed with problems contributing to climate change.
The fashion industry emits more greenhouse gas than all international flights and maritime shipping journeys combined, and it's estimated that a garbage truck's worth of clothing is either burned or sent to a landfill every second. On top of that, thanks to our powerful washing machines, our clothes pollute the ocean with microfibers equating to approximately 50 million plastic bottles each year.
Conversation and action around sustainability and climate change has been quiet and slow to come within the sector, but Monday marks another move toward collective change. A fashion industry charter for climate action was formally launched at this year's United Nations climate change conference, COP24, in Katowice, Poland.
Aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, the new charter includes 16 principles and targets. The companies involved have committed to reducing their aggregate greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 and they've agreed to prioritize low-carbon transportation suppliers and favor climate-friendly materials.

“$1,760.27 “
for that price, i assume that includes a date with the fag wearing it ...
All the fashionistas produce their products using low carbon footprint slave labor in turd world countries.
I have a London Fog that I ‘inherited’ from Hubbys aunt many years ago. Great trench coat. Still looks brand new.
That fashion statement could make Tehran, Iran the fashion capital of the world. Not good for the CO2 because it uses way too much CO2 intensive cotton production to supply the increased demand. LOL!!
City folk duds...
I didn't know the cold weather gear was Burberry.
The documentary I saw said that the crew did sell the gear before they left, and when they got stuck, they were SOL.
Key to fashion is having it fit your frame well.....and knowing what suites your particular frame. Far too many woman haven’t a clue. A gal can look outstanding in less expensive clothing if she knows these facts.
A seamstress is worth their weight in gold.
Just don’t take wardrobe advice from Stacey and Clinton. ;)
But he might have a line on some shirts that could come back in style.
Morty, yes.
I can’t afford a seamstress, but since I live in a rural area and do construction work, jeans, a shirt and boots are my “uniform” most of the time. I’m tall and a readily available anywhere size 5 fits fine-but I’m always mindful of the way even my jeans look-I like to be neat and tailored-not going to wear fussy stuff that is intended for a shorter woman with a curvy frame, or stuff without a defined waist and hips-I’d look ridiculous, no matter how expensive the designer garment was...
If you’re a size 5 likely you look pretty good when you do deck out. .....BTW seam-stresses are less expensive than you think, especially in rural areas.
Oh gosh no! Never!
I hope I do-I work hard, work out and eat all organic for health and fitness.
There is a seamstress out here-I don’t know her, but one of my neighbors has had her make a satin kimono and a couple of skirts-she says the lady is good and reasonable-this Spring when work picks up again, I want to see if she can make a couple of cotton lounge/sleep shifts and a denim pencil dress for me-I have the originals-both the shift-which my guy likes-and the dress-both are threadbare and falling apart but I haven’t been able to find a duplicate for either even at that Alibaba market out of Hong Kong online, where I’ve bought silk shifts, satin kimonos, etc-I’ve seen some stuff that is close, but not exactly the same-I want exact duplicates.
The reason fashion is such a prodigious producer of emissions and garbage is because it is planned obsolescence. The insecure, status-seeking folk willingly purchase new clothes each year (or maybe more often) in order to keep up and retain their shallow friends.
If some folks weren’t so sartorially insecure, the emissions and garbage would go way down as people held on to their old clothes longer.
I do expensive shoes for running. I’m a runner, and I don’t want to brutalize my feet.
Everything else is middle-of-the-road expense or cheap.
Please tell me somebody ‘shopped computer-generated yellow Moslems into that picture.
Oh well, my dogs are barking today but at least I don't need to worry about sitting down unexpectedly!
