Hopefully people will start to realize why trades in general are so expensive. You’re paying for someone’s experience to make a good finished product that takes skill and years of practice.
However there is also a giant gap that needs to be filled in trades. As people are aging out of jobs like tailors, carpenters, bookbinders, leatherworkers, etc, there aren’t enough young people going INTO the trades to repopulate the jobs.
My favourite thing about this post is that someone saw those photos of that cat and went “ah yes, I know exactly which 15th century Baroque painting this reminds me of”
as an archaeologist-in-training, i am BEGGING you to stop
Someone griped at me once for placing a character 80 years in our future in jeans and a t-shirt and I’m like… this has literally been a thing for longer than I’ve been alive, longer than my parents have been alive, longer than my grandparents lived. Why would I assume they would be in anything else?
yeah i will admit, it’s crazy to look at those jeans, because they look like someone could’ve literally just bought them. The basic design hasn’t changed, nothing, it’s just jeans.
Basically we have every reason to believe jeans and t-shirts will still exist and probably be average everyday wear in 80 years because at this point EVERY EVIDENCE POINTS TO YES.
The only evidence of them being comparatively old is the presence of suspender knobs on the waistband. That’s the only thing that’s really changed
It appears to have buttons instead of a zipper, which while not common, is something you can still find today. I have a pair of shorts that have buttons.
Maybe tshirts won’t be the popular shirt of the future, but I have every confidence that jeans will still be the go to pants long after I die.
