I think the last time I stepped into a jcrew was 8 mos ago for about 2 minutes while this chick was looking around. I can't remember the time before that however. Mass produced generic conveyor belt fashion (jcrew, br) does nothing for me.

Seriously, I like all my clothes to have some interesting detail to them.

J Crew, along with BR, Gap, and especially Brooks Brothers just seem like things people buy so they have clothes. Completely mediocre, for people who don't really care about style.

Also, UO, along with H&M/Century 21 etc. rip off designers

I have a few things from them, their stuff is pretty slimfitting.


Why do people always talk about Urban Outfitters as if it's a brand?

I'm waiting for team fanboi to start the call outs again.

My minor annoyance for today - royal mail is terrible. It's the second time I have had a package taking ages from them.

I don't understand how I get packages from europe in 2 days and it takes 4-5 days to get something from chicago to california.

What pisses me off is that I can get a shirt from Japan in two days via EMS for $15, but if I want to ship a shirt to Australia, anything faster than First Class (no insurance or tracking), it's at least $55 and upwards of $110!

Meh, I dunno. The stuff I have from them is their house brand though (BDG?) One of the better mall stores IMO. Just have to know what to look for. Oh yeah, I got jeans from Cultizm in 2 days (germany-> florida) Bought a sweater from a certain (former?) US SF affiliate that took two weeks.

I used to ship stuff to aus and japan years ago and they were the two most expensive places to ship with aus being the most ridiculous.

UPS Ground blows. Seriously, I don't get the love for couriers / hate for USPS. Priority Mail is cheaper than UPS/FedEx/whatever and twice as fast. Sure, you don't get as extensive tracking, but I'd rather get my stuff than track it.

I agree. For domestic, you really can't beat Priority, especially if you use their free boxes.
