Yes, it's a promo for an antiques dealer but it's still interesting.

They're priceless. Plus 50% because of Trumpstein tariffs. See, the Presidophile's tariffs have already made half of infinite dollars!

What I wouldn't give for a Holocaust Cloak.

I don't mind an ad or site at the end of a video if they've actually created content. Before this post I had no idea how Japanese fireman's coats were constructed or decorated, and now I know they're more than $2,000 to buy one.
ChorizoPig
That's the notion that led me to decide to share this. It's technically an ad but it's a very interesting and informative ad.

that's probably quite a bit cheaper than it would cost to reconstruct one by hand

As one might suspect from the fact that he specifically notes how those were for commoners, there was also firefighting attire for people of higher status. Here's a set made for a daimyo.

I honestly can't imagine any kind of noble or "higher status" person fighting a fire... but I guess Japan is a different culture and this was a different time.
The nobles of today just horde their billions and fuck the rest of us perpetually.

What anime is this from?
BreakablePotato
I would have expected the daimyo to be wearing a commoner.

Imagine how much _work_ went into those. Each stitch might've been made with a prayer that whoever wore that coat would be safe.

People are beautiful in that way

Yeah. Sometimes, people are okay.

great for firemen: they can't get burned because the drip is so hard.

But at the same time, that fit is fire though….

Amazing. Japanese craftsmanship in many areas surpasses anything I've ever seen.

"But because it's Japanese, of course, there's a lot of other things."

Japanese history can be summed up as “the history of weaponized autism, with lots of cruelty sprinkled in.”
AyatollahBahloni
Huh. That's a strange take, and uncannily accurate.

Imagine what their country could accomplish if they stopped banning adhd medication.

Since their culture values the appearance of productivity a lot more than actually being productive, probably not a whole lot.
