This thread should be bronzed and placed on the SF mantle.

i don't see the point of naf's argument. jet already pointed out he doesn't talk about the merits of banana republic anymore (in case you can't follow logic this would imply he doesn't think br has merits worth discussing).
maybe he thought br was the shit back then. is he not allowed to learn and discover that there are better shit and that in comparison br is pretty much crap design and construction wise relative to its price? isn't that what this forum is for? |

This is hilarious.
Some people would rather splurge on clothes, electronics, automobiles, etc. Does it honestly matter? I've seen people who show of their Patek Philippe watches and wear Brioni suits, but they don't look any good. They look like people who don't have anything except the clothes on their back to make any good impression. Anyways, the more pathetic side in this argument are the people exhibiting elitism because they sport RLPL items and can't imagine themselves wearing anything that could be bought in their local mall. Neiman Marcus for me only! EDIT: Oh, a good comparison is how elitist audiophiles can only listen to their music when they use their Stax headphones attached to a pre-amp and an amplifier. No one needs a 5k set up to listen to FLACs to enjoy their music. They act disgusted when they cannot listen to their freestyle jazz going through equipment that takes up a whole cabinet. I'm sorry that I didn't spend thousands on Red Wine Audio products to hear songs. I must be a horrible person. |

Why are people coming to SF to discuss Banana Republic? There is nothing interesting about it. I am sure they produce acceptable blue shirts and khakis that I could wear without feeling humiliated. So what? If you need that for work, you can pick up stacks of it when they blow it out for almost free.
Dress head to toe in BR if you like. You will probably look like a corporate extrusion of bland, safe, ubiquitous "style." For most of us the point of SF is to try to do better than that -- to find things that are more interesting, offer better value and will be all around more satisfying. We are tired of buying mediocre shit and then replacing it before long with some other mediocre shit when we realize that it really didn't deliver. That is expensive and stupid. SF can help break you out of that loop by letting you know what is out there beyond the mall. When people say BR is not that bad, I say who cares? 7th grade wasn't that bad, but I am not going back. BR will probably produce one or two decent things now and then. Good for them. I don't care. FWIW, BR produces good loafer socks that SF routinely recommends. BR gets credit where it is due. Full disclosure: not long ago I wore horrible shit that fit me badly. I had no idea at the time. I try not to do that anymore. |

Naf is just being his usual dildo self and his pussy ass is still mad my Lakers won the championship.
Last time I bought anything from BR was maybe around 2001 ish when I switched from abercrombie (gasp!) Uh oh now my nut swinging friend is going spending his lonely nights digging up some posts about I used to wear abercrombie at UCLA lulz. I had it all because I got shit for dirt cheap through my brother, cashmeres, coats, pants, shoes you name it as shocking as that sounds. Ever since I started buying it in 97 I always wondered why it fit like garbage and sweaters pilled, shirts fit like dresses, etc. but I didn't really understand the problem I thought that's just how clothes fit. I moved on from there to my gucci/dolce/armani phase from there around 02 which was for going out and my day uniform consisted of 3 pairs of banana khakis, white tees, and af1s that I wore into the ground. I even had a monarchy shirt when they first came out that my girl bought me. First margiela purchase came in 06 after seeing and reading about him before but not getting it until then. So in other words, I have first hand experience when I say it is pure garbage. I do, however, still have a br chunky cashmere ecru scarf that I like (fuck jet serious?!). /your lives | ||
