This is not a racist question. I am just so curious and I have talked to so many people about this and no one knows.

In high school you will always, and I mean always see mostly Vietnamese kids wearing name brands. I see grade
8, 9 , 10 , 11 wearing trues, R&R all the new brands that are expensive. When I mean expensive $400 jeans, $200 jackets etc.

Also you will see there parents rocking it as well. Usually its the moms with bebe. AND when you go to river rock casino
you see chinese and vietnamese throwing $100s on the table.

How are they able to wear this. Maybe some of there parents are doctors or have a great business but not all are rich.
Maybe some of them work but my buddys back in high school never worked and were always rocking $200 shoxs,
G star jackets, north face bombers $300, you guys know what I mean.

AGAIN I DONT HATE or am racist, Just much respect to the baller status of these familys.

Can someone finally help me with this question lol.

[s300ae]

Good chance they could be fake jeans. Meanwhile, You can pick up R&R and trues at nordstrom rack for $100 if not cheaper. That could explain the influx of horrid fake jeans all over this province.
It still doesnt make sense to me why ppl wear those brands! They were huge 5 years ago. If you're paying over 200 for those jeans you're getting ripped off. Sometimes underground at metrotown has pretty good deals on expensive authentic jeans as well.

I'll stick to my diesels (italian) and hudsons (USA). Awesome fit, washes, and great quality. None of that fugly huge pocket and stitching all over them.

[Hondaracer]

A group of viet guys our company used to contract to do stucco came to do dirty stucco work decked out in rhinestoned audiger shirts, true jeans, etc etc

All of it was fake, but that was their work clothes and at one time was probably daily wear lol

[Greenstoner]

why dont u ask them? i was curious and i asked and they told me,

- grow-op (sometimes it could be family business)
- line of credit or loan
- legit business
- legit business plus money laundry on the side
- hard worker with hard earn money, spend money on nice car and clothes because they care about the look
- loan sharking

* with that being said... although they wear nice clothes but normally they dont have too much in terms of quantity.. usually alternate by 3-5 jeans and couple of shirts..

[RCubed]

The kids save up and sell are their toys to buy one pair of jeans and one shirt then wear the same thing every day.

This and I bet a lot of them save up to buy these clothing/shoes and skimp on everything else.

A lot of asians will care about status and appearance more than actual worth. So in turn for looking good, they get crap food, housing and bank accounts (if any).

Personally, I'd rather save the hundred dollars on jeans and shoes and put up a good savings account and put good food on the table but that's just me.

[MG1]

Like CRS mentioned, it's all about how you look in public.

There are a lot of rich families out there, too. Anyway, people have different priorities. As long as it doesn't involve illegal activity or degredation of our way of life as we know it.

I'm good.......... everything I have, I earned without hurting others or having to pretend to be something I am not.

Somehow, "You are what you eat," comes to mind. Perhaps you are what you wear? Fake stuff = fake person.

Self esteem issues.................

Anyway, jelly ain't gonna get you anywhere, I suppose.

hahah Yes I did ask that. But I can never wear fakes. I feel that I am trying to prove something I am not.

But the Viets I know dont wear fakes. I sometimes go to Boys co with them to purchase there shit.

Didn't Boys Co get caught selling fakes?
I know it was one store in metro that was selling fakes, but I can't remember.

And a lot of asian families are all show and no go.
They live in an old house or rent a house or live in a basement, but spend their money on a nice car; bmw, benzo, etc. and buy nice purses, clothes, get a $60 haircut. That's honestly their mentality. I know a few people/families that are like this.

Though, some of them are just rich. They own a bbt place or restaurant etc.
One of my buddies own's Sun Sui Wah and I know the girl (kind of) who owns Pho Hoang, Golden Swan and I know a few others that own really popular restaurants, so they do very well for themselves. Oddly enough, the children aren't that flashy at all, they have nice things, but don't walk around like they're better than anyone. They aren't cocky or arrogant or anything. They are genuinely nice and caring people.

[drunkrussian]

Op, if you think having a wardrobe worth a few thousand dollars is baller, you're in highschool or stuck in a highschool mentality. Any broke idiot can buy thousands of dollars of clothing and most people with decent paying office jobs invest in a $XXX suit or a $XXXX jacket, and it's not really an issue.

Show me the same nammer kids and their parents who you described having a paid off house, a lease-free car and no debt, and then we'll at least approaching the topic of "pretty well off", let alone baller.

[AzNightmare]

Buying designer clothes is a horrible investment.
These companies are lucky there are enough morons in this planet to make them rich.

I'm expecting my belt to be able to do at least 1/4 of what Batman's belt can do if it costs $500.

[s300ae]

Back in soviet Russia, my dad didn't get his first pair of Levis until he was 18. And even then, they costed 2 months worth of pay.
Talk about saving up.

It's not hard for high school kids to get into drug dealing and you have no idea how many kids these days drug deal. Be it marijuana or crack, you can make a boatload of money in one day.

Majority of Vietnamese parents are in the drug business.

Ehh its just their parents are rich or they starve themselves for a few weeks to afford those. In any case, let them wear their designer clothes it just makes them look even more silly.

This. Not an exact science but works well enough in general:

True rich people are usually frugal as fuck and usually can be sometimes difficult to deal with. The pretend-rich people are usually the people who can't shut up about their wealth and looks for every excuse to bring it up in a convo.

having nice clothes means sweet fu*k all...

i know guys who go to clubs wearing expensive as shit clothes...meanwhile im at the same club wearing a pair of guess jeans and an average dress shirt/nice tee....who do you think is going home with a girl that night?

the guy whos actually capable of holding a conversation and able to create attraction...

clothes mean nothing..rock whatever clothes you feel comfortable in, in the end its who you are that gets you where you are.

Do you have an older and a younger bother? Or a brother of 3?

Alot of Viets actually buy shit with friends, then return them after. Sometimes you wont see them with the clothes they bought at all.

Or they just own grow ops and claim EI and Welfare to pay for thier bills, while doing more shit on the side.


But in my experience, my friends Dad actually owned a legit business from what I remember. Thier money makes sense. But with Viet people, you can usually tell the difference between the DD families from the Legit ones.

[Nicotine]

they do what they need to do to make their money.
like most of us, there not satisfied with average living
and they do what they can to make that next buck
being ballsy as fuck helps to.

[soowu]

no need for scams, tax / jump?

its not cool to tax/jump defencless kids . thats hurting lmfao it just shows that ur a cheap fuck who can buy your own clothings or accecories .

Anyways vietnamese people are always sterotyped , if u are seen wearing brand names you are than called a " nammer " .. its quiet sad i must say . I actually see chinese people wearing more brand names than vietnamese people .

[True.True]

yes oldest of 3 bros
