    Recently I was looking to get some new jeans, a new hoodie, and a new shirt. While I don't wear it exclusively, in this case I was specifically looking for everything in black (I'm replacing existing garments which are sadly no longer in wearable condition). I wanted bootcut or flared jeans, and a logo-less non-zip hoodie. The shirt I'm a bit more flexible on, so long as it looks good. And each item for less than €50 euro, if possible.

    In the end, I got 1 pair of grey bootcut jeans and 1 pair of just-about black flared jeans from Penneys (for about €15 each) and a black Blend zipless hoodie from Quills for €36 (still had a logo, but it was black-on-black and nearly invisible). I didn't get a shirt at all - the closest I found were the collarless navy shirts from Andean Times for about €30, but I already have one and am looking for something a bit different. Everything else available looked awful, mostly pretty tacky & skangery (like those short-sleeve black ones with "celtic" or flame designs on one sleeve).

    None of the above were exactly what I wanted, but much to my surprise nowhere did have exactlywhat I wanted - I'd expected it to be more of a price issue, but looking at the jeans in Quills for example, I didn't see any jeans that were properly black - they only had those faded, trying-to-look-vintage-style jeans, which I definitely wasn't looking for.

    Where do other people in Cork shop for these sort of things (particularly shirts)? And what sort of prices do you pay? Bear in mind I hate clothes with big logos or brandnames, with the exception of graffiti- or cartoon-style pictures. I might consider paying more than €50 for the right item, but I need to find it first.
