fashion is one of the most annoying thing about today's society. at the start of the year it was those head scarves, then it was quifs and stomach belts.. now its those crappy plastic headbands!! theyre everywhere!! conformatism to the max...... when will they have the innititive to realise that theyre not the latest fashion, they have been around forever AND the fact that THEY ARE NOT COOL!

also.. shoot the people at supre.. they look like walking errotic (and extremely thin) trendie dolls

yes lozinabox, its called an example or an illustration... i wasn't intending to prove that all white tees from target are not made in china. but you didnt exactly pull out one from edge to say it wasnt made in australia did u? on top of that the reason i mention edge is because its ...just one of those brands that markup highly... its merely an example. ive actually never shopped there in my life, mainly because it caters to females more than males. and your incident with the jeans is all well and good, as is mine... but that does not suggest entirely that all cheap jeans are of good quality and that all expensive jeans are not. its just so happens that the expensive pair i own lasted longer than the cheaper pairs... i was merely using that as an example to refute the constant argument that all expensive items of clothing are no better, or even worse than cheaper items.

and im really still struggling with how you didnt pick that that post was a hypothetical situation with the the white tees. i dont even own one...
all im doing is challenging the ridiculous accusations that all expensive clothes are rip offs, when all the factors are not being considered. if you're still too blind to see it, im communicating to brick walls.

oh and one more thing
i remember reading something about getting a hugo boss suit from an Op Shop for $20. that cannot be used as an argument for suggesting huge boss rip you off. op shops are donated to. there are minimal costs associated with having stock on the shelves. they don't pay for the manufacturing, shipping, wages...all those overheads that hugo boss had to. the only thing op shops have to worry about is paying wages, assuming they do, as many are run by volunteers. so theres a good chance that $20 was a 95% profit.
