What Is Actually Worth Four Figures

The top of the catalog, and an honest read on which of it earns the ask.

Above eight hundred dollars you have stopped buying performance and started buying one of three things: a fabric that genuinely cannot be made cheaper, labour that genuinely cannot be automated, or a name. All three are legitimate purchases. Only the first two get better with time.

The list below is ordered by price, descending, which is also roughly the order in which you should be skeptical. Where a piece appears in one of the issue’s looks, the thesis on its page explains what specifically is being paid for.

How to choose

  • Ask what would have to be true for this to be worth it, then check whether it is. Hand-embroidery is checkable. “Luxury” is not.
  • Resale is the honest verdict on a name. A piece trading well under retail is telling you something the retail page will not.
  • At this price, buy the thing that is hard to make. Anyone can make a good plain coat; almost nobody can make what is at the top of this list.
