$395 for a hoodie?? I quite like my made-in-America hoodie from American Giant, which retails for $108. What extra value would I get if I shelled out an additional $287 for the Outlier hoodie?

Artistic thought uses nothing from the planet, the person has to eat anyway. I personally have no issue with using resources, but if someone else wants to spend it on art, cool, I still get to view it.
