It's easy to make fun of people under 25 for making thrifting and gardening/farming and foraging into pop trends, but to paraphrase my niece:

"older clothes fit better, feel nicer, look cooler, are cheaper, and cost less.

"You can alter them, you can decorate them, you can get clout for finding extremely cool shit

"My friends and I don't understand why anyone would buy new clothes. Fast fashion is destroying the world, and everything it makes sucks."

So there. The kids are alright.

@johnzajac @jaredwhite my son goes to different designer clothing stores to look at the clothes (he’s paying attention to the patterns) and then he tailors his own. It’s really amazing to watch (and some of his clothes are really amazing 🤩)
@ecomba @johnzajac Wow, that's so cool!
@jaredwhite @johnzajac it really is (I wanted to reply “thank you”, but I’m doing nothing there, the credit is all his 😄). He even tailored his own leather jacket!
