Fashion

Ziggy my wife is telling me to say Thank you for what you have said.

On to some more detailed specifics. High price tag can == or != Quality. I will agree with blahdeblah about designer label being quality work. Like I said in my initial post, I own three tailored Armani suits(thus the reason my entire wardrobe is possibly more expensive than the average Fakku user's car(if they have one) The price tag is high, I think the cheapest of the three is around 1600 but that's besides the point. Looking at me you see a man in a well tailored suit, you don't see the branding, you see a finely made and tailored suit. This is the time when Price Tag == Quality.

It's when you get to thing's like Abercrombie American Eagle Aropostile Holistier ect. That you get price tag for Wal-Mart Quality. Companies that use Buff bodied male models and skinny little bimbos to model their products so people will buy them. I have maybe three t-shirt's from Abercrombie, these were gift's I refuse to step foot in that store, so it's let them rot in the closet or put them through torture that they fall apart. I've chosen the latter and wear them when I go to the gym.

It's not so much that I have a problem with the brand itself, they are comfortable shirt's when they have been beaten and worn to the point that I have used them and washed them. one of which I use as a dust rag now because the seams have finally gave way. It is the people who buy the clothing. This is where I will expanded on the "You can paint a lump of shit gold but it's still a lump of shit" remark in my first post.

There are two types of people IMHO those who don't give a fuck and those who are gold plated shit. The first are basically as C13R-66Y summed it up. People who wear what they want because they like it, or have no means to afford the department store's latest seasons. These people are decent people, and for the most part are not brainless idiot's. Then you have Gold Plated shit, the scene people, fashion plates, the "I wear this because XYZ Wears this, and XYZ is cool." These are the people I would like to throttle, the people who own an iPhone because it's the cool thing to do.(I own an iPhone but that is because of functionality, and the mobility it lets me have for the best price at the time of buying(right after the 3GS came out and dropped the price to $99.99))

make the dission for yourself and not because of someone else. think long and hard before you drop 100 for a pair of jeans. am I spending this 100 on these jeans because I like them or am I doing it because I want to be cool? if you answered the later then you need to smack yourself put them back and walk away, saving yourself the money.

I used to have 10 suits all custom fitted same with shirts and shoes I claimed I needed them for business
