  • I reccomend etsy. You have to watch out for drop shippers, but by being concious you can normally find high quality hand made clothing.

    Signs it’s a real person making what youre buying:

    • Custom fit options (can send your measurements)
    • Similar materials used in the different designs
    • Photos use mannequins or the same model or have the same background
    • The designs cannot be purchased elsewhere
    • The blurb gives real information about a real person & their story

    Also: once you’ve found a clothing maker you like, you can often buy directly from them, bypassing etsy taking a cut of the profits.

    Heres one I found: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1069069106/dark-red-anorakvintage-trench

    In general tho, there are some really unique and cool clothing makers on etsy and I’ve gotten some of my favorite things from creators who sell using that platform.

    Good luck finding the jacket of your dreams :)

  • Actually yes, depression acceptace (and mental health acceptance in general) is part of the process to helping people be happy and healthy. As someone with depression (who is also fat) accepting myself and finding communities where i am accepted as i am and encouraged to be my own personal form of healthy is good for me.

    Shaming someone for being depressed isnt going to suddenly make their depression go away. Shaming someone for being fat isnt going to suddenly make them thin. Judinging someone as a person for medical conditions that are often a complex result of genetics, environment, and culture is not helpful.

    Accepting, loving, and supporting people is what helps.
