wiegie Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 $120 for t-shirts that look like they came off the clearance rack at K-Mart? How in the hell can this crap be popular? Our collective stupidity is simply mind-boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I don't understand it either. Those T-shirts are Fugly. Even if the shirts were nice, I wouldn't drop $120 on a T-shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'll buy name brand stuff if it's quality - 90% of the "in" stuff out there is crap. I want to throttle my daugher when she drops big coin on cheap clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If you use excessive hair gel, have neon lights underneath the BMW you got from your trust fund cash, have a tribal arm band tattoo, work out at least 7 times a week, call everyone "bro" (and I mean everyone), go to tanning salons, wear jewelry (including earrings) and drink nothing but energy drinks, and date strippers, you may like Ed Hardy clothing.

Kid Cid Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 It's like wearing a big neon sign that says, "I'm the most f'ed up person in the room. Wanna dance?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Think of how many dumbass people got those stupid barbed wire tattoos around their biceps back in the 90s. Nothing says I'm a sheep more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) One of my wine reps came in with some pretty crappy juice in special Ed Hardy bottles. Stuff wasn't crazy expensive but cost about 2x more than it should considering the quality of the juice. I asked her if she was freaking crazy. BTW, my wife and I were doing some "market research" by hitting an upscale Mexican joint in downtown Raleigh. It was more clubby than our place will be, but whatever. At any rate, there was a guy a few bar seats down with one of these Ts on and Darin completely nailed the description. Too big not to be on the juice, girlfriend with a fake rack, frosted tips... Right down to the fact that he was drinking a red bull with his freaking tacos! Thing is, I get spending more on clothes. In many cases, they just fit better. But this crap, along with distressed jeans that cost like $250 is absolute insanity. My cousin in laws' husband rocks those silly assed jeans with the pockets half torn off or the knees worn out. Dude, you're 40 freaking years old. Edited June 5, 2009 by detlef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sort of amused by thinking about the people who were among the very first to get those tattoos. At the time, they sort of were on the cutting edge but now they are completely indistinguishable from all of the other tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy name brand expensive shoes and watches, because they last so much longer, but I'm not going to throw my money away just to be trendy.

Wear a Calida or Sunspel T and you'll understand. This place sells them cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchoutofwater Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Speaking of shirts that piss you off. I used to buy a lot of Polo by Ralph Lauren polo shirts. They last forever I actually have some that are 15 years old that I still wear from time to time. The thin that pisses me off, is it seems they are making them smaller and smaller. I can fit very comfortably in a XL that I bought 5 years ago, but a XXL is very tight, tighter than some of the L's I bought 5 or 6 years ago. It is particularly tight in the sleeves. Really makes me mad, because I always thought they were a great value, but I won't be buying any more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
