Okay, so, like everyone else, I was hyped about the Supreme x Burberry collab. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Two iconic brands coming together? Gotta have it. Specifically, I had my eyes on that jacket. You know the one, right? Classic Burberry check, but with that Supreme edge.
The Hunt Begins
First things first, I tried to get it on the Supreme website when it dropped. Yeah, right. That was a joke. Sold out in, like, milliseconds. Bots ate that stuff up. I knew it was gonna be tough, but, damn.
Resale Reality Check
So, Plan B: the resale market. I headed over to some of the usual spots – you know, the apps and sites where people flip this stuff. And wow. Prices were… insane. Like, seriously, eye-watering. I wasn’t prepared to drop a month’s rent on a jacket, no matter how cool it was.
Digging Deeper
But I wasn’t giving up. I started lurking on forums and groups. I spent hours scrolling, reading comments, looking for leads. People were talking about different sellers, comparing prices, discussing authenticity. It was a whole world.
Finding a (Potential) Gem
After a while, I found someone who seemed legit. They had good feedback, detailed photos of the jacket, and the price, while still high, wasn’t completely outrageous. I messaged them, asked a bunch of questions – about the condition, the sizing, everything. They were pretty responsive and seemed to know their stuff.
Taking the Plunge
I was still nervous, to be honest. It’s a lot of money to spend on something online, especially from someone you don’t know. But I did my research, I checked their references as best as I could, and eventually, I decided to go for it. I sent the payment, and then… the waiting game.
Fingers Crossed
Those few days were agonizing. I kept refreshing the tracking information, praying it wouldn’t get lost or stolen. Then, finally, the package arrived.
The Unboxing
- I grabbed the box, ripped it open (carefully, of course!), and there it was.
- The jacket.
- It looked even better in person than in the pictures.
- The material felt amazing, the details were on point, and it fit perfectly.
Victory! (Maybe?)
I was stoked. Seriously. All that effort, all that searching, and it paid off. Or, at least, I think it did. There’s always that little voice in the back of your head, you know? The “what if it’s fake?” voice. But honestly, it looks and feels so good, I’m choosing to believe it’s the real deal.
So yeah, that’s my Supreme Burberry jacket story. It was a mission, a roller coaster of emotions, but in the end I feel like it was worth it. Is a piece of clothing truly worth it? That’s the real question I am having now.
