    Their check shirts are alright, I don't own any but they look OK. The t shirts though aren't good, the logo is just too big. And its not Japanese, so why pretend it is?

    I believe the Japanese find them hilarious on tourists.

    The ironic thing with paying more for clothes is that you are paying more to be a walking advertising hoarding. Alot to be said for Penneys

    That is hugely dependant on what you term good to be. Look good? Perhaps? Look well? Totally different matter.

    Judge not from the shiftiness of his demeanour but from the logo on the back of his jacket.

    How did they react to you wandering in and just dumping a pile of stuff? Could you not have just cut off the brand names and kept them?

    I think we are a very sheepish people in general to be honest.

    Historically those who didn't conform were cast out of society and many of them felt compelled to emigrate to truly be themselves, fashion or otherwise

    The real question is is what should I be wearing right now! I need guidance! I forthwith declare that I will be nude until I am properly counselled on what to wear. Godammit, someone tell me what brands I should buy!

    I own a super dry jacket and to be fair, as already stated, they are a very good jacket
    The only reason I have it is because an uncle got it from little woods, didn't fit right, and sold it to me for a score
    If I had a few pound to spend and was looking for a good quality jacket, it would be a super dry
    Not a slave to fashion either.
    I find most male fashion trends very, ehhh, noncy..

    I was in primary school when they were the craze. I think the phrase was 'Knackers Asking For Food'
