they used to be really good and their stuff was kinda expensive but worth it -- now every little 15yo wannabe-prep loser wears it and they have gotten complacent.

I don't understand why people buy from any namebrand store.
I can get the same stuff at TJmaxx for a fraction of the price.
Clothes wear out too damn fast to pay that kind of money for them.
But then, I'm not a fashion plate metro.

I'm sorry, Amused, but you almost always get what you pay for when it comes to clothing. Yes, stuff from A&F isn't any better than the stuff you buy at TJmaxx, but to expect all name-brand clothing to be of the same quality is ridiculous.

No, you do NOT get what you pay for in many cases.
NEVER, unless you buy on clearance, do you get what you pay for at a mall store. And I mean NEVER. The markup at name brand mall stores is ludicrous.
And with you fashion plate metro types, the clothes go out of style LONG before you wear them out anyhow. So the argument that those overpriced, mall store trendy clothes are made to last is rather silly, isn't it?

If a buddy came up to me and told me that he just spent $80 bucks on a shirt I feel it is my duty to back hand him and ask him what the hell are you smoking! Labels mean absolutely nothing to me. If the price is right and it fits that all that matters.

Such is the case w/ 99% of all clothing nowadays. That is why I never splurge on them.

Oh yeah. 37 years old, own my own successful business... oh yeah, I'm clueless. :roll:
I have a clue, folks. And that clue is this: Namebrand Mall stores are a huge ripoff.
And once you pass your mid to late 20s, you'll realize that those trendy, overpriced clothes mean exactly squat.

well some stuff is good -- jcrew is expensive but all of the clothes i have from there are really good quality and have lasted.
i just find it difficult to spent $70 on a pair of jeans and have holes in them within a year, especially when the staff there are rude and unfriendly and get annoyed when you interrupt their penis game to ask for help.
