It's just another brand, that happens to sell, inter alia, some bespoke goods.

Actually, mud huts are more properly wattle and daub, a latticework of branches sealed with clay . This is one ofthe oldest forms of construction that allowed people to create holding pens for the first domesticated livestock.
These animals gave rise to woven animal fabric along with plant fibers we wear today.

The majority of our usefull medicines, and those yet to be discovered all came from native medicinal specialists, often sitting in wattle and daub huts.

If you want to understand change, real change, not mere refinement of wattle and daub into lathe and skyscraper framing try not to be so arrogant. You might, just might see why and how men's clothing, not bluejean rags adapts.

Defending or justifying the value for the money of luxury goods is SO INANE!
That said, I do feel sorry for someone spending 6k on a suit and getting a downright mediocre fit.

I don't think so. we make value judgements all the time. All of us measure value differently as well.To me a $6000.00 suit, regardless of who makes it is no value.
