ok so this thread is basically about jiberish hoodies... i dont understand why people are willing to pay upwards of 140 dollars for a used hoodie with nothing special about it. i bought one hoodie and its not upstanding, it takes wear and tear like every other hoodie i have. is it just the name brand people want? or are people just willing to pay top dollar just cuz you see chug and wallisch wearing this shit... like yea its a nice hoodie and good people wear it but is it really worth 90 dollars? please bring the hate if you love jiberish and enlighten me on how its worth the money. and also why arent we alowd to have jiberish stickers? is jiberish too good to let people who arent exceptionally good at skiing advertise for you?... sorry i just realized all of this and im just wondering whats up.

I think its cause jiberish fits a niche that nobody else has, so they can charge prices like they do. Im just waiting for the new level 1 jiberish to drop so I can get my hands on a sweatshirt and call it a day.


heh maybe Ill keep a few in the bags and sell once they are all sold out, im a terrible person.

One thing I do have to say as well is that jiberish is the definition of hit or miss. They have so many sick designs, and a few that are just rubbish. The sleeper, creeper, the level 1 crew, and some others are awesome, but like the summer sounds shirt just looks, in the kindest way, bad.

Sponsoring riders that all the kids love definitely helps as well.

99.9% of people who own a piece of Jiberish clothing did not pay $140 for it.  However, I think that ~$80 ish is plenty fair of a price for a hoody that you won't see very often in the average crowd and that is large enough to serve as a jacket most days.  It is expensive, but it is also a small company making handmade clothing.

Where i live you barely ever see any ski clothing, or anyone that even knows what jiberish is, but you see companies like volcom, and quicksilver everywhere, so to me if i found a jiberish hoodie in store id probably  go for it for the average price of a hoodie, and maby even more, but not $140..
also are they hoodies or jackets cause some of them are pretty sick.

Well look skiing isn't the cheapest sport out there and Jiberish knows that. Their target market is skiers which usually means that the buyers have a decent amount of money. Plus to add to that they are a small company that is different from everyone. And all their clothing is cut and sew which means it costs more to make and they usually use a higher end material from what I've seen. And most likely when some pays $140 for a hoodie its usually a teenagers parents that are forking over the money.

Their designs are sick and they are fitted nicely (the longer back is nice to ski with cause it doesn't ride up as much).

sorry for the double post, I hit reply by accident. Only people who in no way can find the one they want pay $140. Mostly they're like $80-$90, but when a normal hoody is like $50 on average it's not that much more for a hoody that's meant to be skied in.

Voleurz hoodies are like 100, but I think they're worth it. They look amazing.

I don't know.  They look way sicker than other hoodies.  There is way more hype over them.  Also they seem more comfortable, like they are heavier and just nice.  I love my jiberish.

I don't know whos paying $140 for one but the $80 or $90 is pretty worth it when you consider a DC or LRG hoodie or something would be like $50 or $60 anyway, and a Jiberish one is more unique, more steeze, and made out of nicer material.

I really like mine but I think I'm done with their hoodies because after you wear it for a while the elastic band around the bottom gets annoying and rides up a lot.  I'll still buy their shirts though they are so sick, and nice material too.
