These guys are real nutters. Why the f*** won't they allow more stockists to take on their range? I'm finding it a hard time looking for Imperial stuff in Australia, W T F.

They know they're not good in marketing and building up the brand. But they're very picky over which retailers carry their range. It just doesn't make any business sense.

One possibility is they're not in the business for the sake of profiteering. Maybe this is just a side pet project they do, and want to keep this brand pretty elite and exclusive. That's real shitty for users like us though, we got no physical stores to go and have a "look and feel" of the 300-dollar jeans we're getting, or the 250-quid pair of shoes we'll be buying.

All I know is, one day I plan to open up a boutique - not sure in Malaysia or Australia, but I'll carry all these hard-to-find brands. Bloody Jil Sander, Paul Smith, Raf Simons, Iron Hearts, Blue in Green, Imperial, APCs, Wings+Horns, Quoddy, some Yuketen shit, etc, etc.

There's a f***in' void in the industry, where we can't get all this shit over here. They're all over stores in North America, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, Korean, and even bloody China, but we... can only buy online - which is such a miserable shame.

If anyone here is smart enough, has good business sense, knows how to make connections and have some capital, they'd be smart enough to copy my idea and make it a reality quick - or I'm going to do it in 5 - 7 years time. And when I do, it'll be huge!!
