Overpriced Scarf Round Up

Two scarves, as awesome as they are overpriced, are now available after a seasonal hiatus.  First up is Drakes' incomparable black watch wool silk reversible number.  Featured on Mister Mort a while back, this has to be the coolest scarf on the market.  For your money you not only get the ultimate tartan, but to make matters that much more stylish, there is a silk navy and white pin dot pattern on the opposite side.  Part scarf and part ascot, is this really worth $212?  Drakes enthusiasts will tell you you're getting two $106 scarves (not that outlandish of a pricepoint) and how the quality is unmatched by anyone.  I'll leave any reasoning up to you.  Up next we have a scarf some of you might recognize from its cameo on a hit teen drama featuring sex, drugs and good looking people.  J. Press' silk patchwork scarf is a one of a kind item being sold at a one of a kind price.  This is probably as bold as a scarf gets before your less stylish friends start making fun of you.  Actually, your friends will probably make fun of your for wearing a scarf in the first place.  I'll spare you the talk of putting your funds into investment pieces.  We're all adults here, for the most part, and can manage our own money.  At the very least you now have a postscript for that letter you're writing to Santa.

  1. Man, you fucking love Drizzy. You bitch that he whines too much, but we all know your bumpin' n' grindin' to "Sooner Than Later" on your way home from work.

  2. Paul- Not sure what Drake, the artist, has to do with scarves, but I do like his music.

    I joke about him whining all the time because he whines all the time.

    "Fireworks" is my jam. Alicia and Jay killed it.

  3. The Drake's scarf is actually a little bit less after the VAT deduction.

    And I remember not too long ago (before Gossip Girl) that those JPress patchwork scarves went for a lot less as well.

  7. Thank you for not indulging the style blogosphere's delusion that it's OK to buy a $500 bespoke unicorn-hair pocket square or whatever because "it's an investment."

  8. Anyone see the $890 Cucinelli scarf in the new Mens Health? makes Drakes seem like thrifting...
