[Мишка] – 2012 Official Discussion Thread

Honestly you guys are all complaining too much, which is part of the reason why Mishka stopped doing Grab Bags for a while. Yes the grab bags aren't nearly as dope as they were in the past, but that was before sites like Plundr and Jackthreads existed which is a more profitable way of liquidation.

Point being, grab bags are cool. In the end you're always going to come out a winner dollar per dollar, although you're taking a gamble and might now like what you get.

As for the denim issue above, I agree having a slim fit in 36 or above is pretty dumb... But as far as the length most smaller companies stick to a scale where the inseem gradually gets longer in relation to the waist size. Some selvedge denim manufacturers only make one standard inseem size that requires it to be tailored to fit the owner.

I understand your point, but I gotta disagree. I got a Black Scale $50 black box on their last sale and got 4 tees. The Diamond $100 mystery boxes were either 4 fleece items + a bonus or 7 tees + a bonus. Throwing things like pencil cases, wallets, keychains and stuff like that in there in order to make up the price is just kinda wack to me. And I love Mishka...

Got a pair of Boris Denim Jeans, but they sent me the wrong size...I specified 36/30...ended up with 36/34...and these are SKINNY jeans...I'm not a skinny dude or else I wouldn't have ordered XL grab bag...

Thanks Мишка!

Love my bag! Totally worth it in my book, I got way more than I paid for. Thanks Mishka for the hook up, I will def be grabbing another one next time.

But there was no need to diss Diamond shit as Pac Sun throwaways. You may not like their brand, but if I get something in a Diamond box I don't like, at least I can resell it. I can't resell Mishka.

If you like everything that Mishka makes or if you can fit into their pants, or if you don't have a lot of stuff, then the grab bag is a great deal. But for me, it wasn't.

The comparison just doesn't stand though. There's 400 pages of chatter for both Diamond and Black Scale, only 16 here. I wasn't so much dissing them as pointing to the fact that Diamond unload their unsold merch the same way Mishka do, and considering how many more points of sale and appeal they have in the first place, it seems unfair to condemn Mishka but not Diamond.

Sure. My point was that you kind of knew that in the first place, didn't you? You probably perceived my message more harshly because I responded to every one in one foul swoop, but you have to acknowledge that you get a lot more than your money's worth. And you get Mishka gear - that means both classic tees and weird leopard print cardis (which I own by the way @thefauxbot, and it's not as hard to rock as you might think it is). I don't feel like there was any false advertising - maybe just bad luck, but that's what happens with grab bags.

Hey man, no flame intended. Never said there was false advertising. You definitely get more than your money's worth. But no more so than grab bags/boxes by Diamond or Black Scale or Flying Coffin or Bloodbath, etc. Point being, I didn't intend to condemn Mishka, just stating a comparison. Mishka is available on PLNDR and Jack Threads. They also have 50% off sales. There are cheaper ways to get Mishka product. The same can't be said for Diamond, for example. So those 7 tees you get are worth $210+ retail. Those 4 pieces of fleece are $250+. Just as much, or more, than the Mishka box. And for me personally, I mostly want tops, so a $100 grab bag with a pair of pants that I can't wear or probably can't resell just doesn't appeal to me. I can wear the Diamond product or sell what I don't like. If I can't wear the Mishka product I'm probably stuck with it.

I'm not trying to defame Mishka in any way. They are one of the brands I rep hard. I'm wearing a Death Adder shirt right now, actually. Just stating why the box didn't really appeal to me.
