SirhcI worked at a boutique and it was a pretty bad experience. The owners were so controlling and always wanted things done their way. They did not give a f*** about staff feedback. The main buyer was horrible and would bend over for the owners, despite staff and assistant buyers advocating for different brands, diff size runs, stocking more from brands other than tees, etc. Some sketchy stuff, bad business practices, playing favorites, all of that bullshit. A couple of times we had brand reps come in heated about not receiving payments or missing returned inventory. One time I even had a brand rep come in and literally grab their products off the shelves lmao. I got some cool experience though, I learned some stuff about buying, manufacturers for good basics, e-commerce, and visual merchandising.
You gona share the things you learnt from your experiences (about buying, manufacturers etc)?

Dipset ForeverOh. My bad. Um yeah basically to be 100% honest with you there isn't a lot of difference.
Given HN's location and its competition/brands it sells they expect you to be a bit more formal depending on the customer (especially high spenders) and if you work on a clientele basis you end up talking to people for hours and giving them water and s***, all while providing normal customer service. You just adapt to it really.
That being said our commission targets are usually unrealistic as can be so we barely get high spenders. I work in Men's denim and there's loads of casual customers so it's a lot more laid back - quite similar to how things are at GH.
You work in mens denim?
How's that shifted your perspective on things now that you do that for a living? And what makes a good pair in your opinion? - Jun 13, 2020·editedjayzcoolie

Craftsmanship and independence makes a good pair. Too many brands outsource production and focus too much on making everything stretchy and skinny. Especially with the brands we buy

It appears Stan Ray OG Painters now come in 30 and 32 leg lengths on Flatspot.
Most of the stock is sale and therefore out of stock but good to know for future seasons.

Dam you’re gonna make me spend money on a jacket, when I live in Houston tx and won’t be able to wear it for another 4 months. but f*** it I didn’t get the rayon shirt y’all were talking about in the stussy thread because of the sizing issue so I’ll get this instead. Did you get this jacket on this site or the site I showed you?

It's worth it
On the site you showed me but that's a legit site and a price that's too good to pass up
