GQ's $1000 Jeans Jacket — Oops, I Mean, "Denim Coat."

GQ - Gentlemen’s Quarterly Magazine - has always been its advertisers' whore, but these days it even more brazenly features such thrifty buys as $1500+ designer sweaters, thousand-dollar jeans jackets, and a $172 beach towel (!!). 

GQ doesn't even pretend to inform, educate or help the average guy dress better, but instead focuses on bending over for serving its advertisers. Recently Amazon.com offered a year's subscription to GQ for $5, so desperate is Conde Nast to get the magazine's circulation numbers up in order to justify its stratospheric advertising rates.

If the jerks at GQ had any brains they would see they can actually accomplish both ends by featuring as many affordable choices as the obscenely overpriced, but brains are in as short supply at GQ as is a viable business plan. Oops again — my mistake! GQ does feature awesome affordable clothes — such as this $59 A-Truck-Just-Ran-Over-My-Chest T shirt:

I can clearly recall the last time I spent $59 on a T shirt because that was way back in never.

Lately GQ editors have lectured the reader a whole lot about how not to dress, all the while heavily featuring airport and street photos of David Beckham, who when not in designer suits, dresses exactly the way GQ claims one should not — yet somehow he still looks amazing breaking GQ's "rules." 

The Boys Of GQ in March 2016 ejaculated all over themselves touting a new “line” (if you can call 40 pairs a line) of preposterously expensive Levi’s jeans designed in collaboration with Josh Peskowitz, sold in his trendy Culver City CA store that are basically ripped to shreds (see photos below). Immediately GQ followed up with an editorial feature condemning overly-destroyed jeans as unacceptable to their unerring good taste — using as an illustration of what not to wear a style almost indistinguishable from those of Peskowitz’ very same Levi’s collaboration. The two are reproduced below side-by-side for your examination.

I’m sure they must be different from each other somehow, right? Oh yeah — the jeans GQ loves are even more destroyed than the jeans GQ hates.
