$25 Chambray from Target

Found this on Sartorially Inclined.

"Tipped off by GQ, I headed over to Target's website to investigate arguably the cheapest chambray shirt of all time. Converse One Star's chambray shirt does in fact exist (in blue and grey) and it costs roughly less that 26 cups of noodles. That's not bad considering it has a tab collar and asymmetrical breast pockets, which are hallmarks of chambrays about 8 times as expensive. Big ups to Converse and Target for banding together and hooking up all the stylish, poor kids like myself. I think I'm going to buy 50, rip the labels off, sew on some J. Crew ones and sell 'em out of the trunk of my station wagon for 75 bones. Kidding, kinda..."



Available for $25, in blue, or grey.

Oh yeah and visit my blog consumeit.blogspot.com.

different brands target for me, is what j crew is to Robert the first one was converse one star the second was mossimo supply company thats why the first has the collar strap,and the second does not but really both shirts posted so far pale in comparisson to the wanna be j crew chambray that is MERONA MERONA is the poor mans,poor mans RRL. also, you're a sucker if you pay more than 6.98 for something at Target. If you have 19.99 shop at J Crew, if you have more than that do better, if you have more than that support affiliates,if you have more than that pull a socal and share the wealth.

why do stores always photograph their shirts with the sides tucked underneath so they look slim? why not just cut them slim in the first place?

i've seen pictures from GAP, and i think j crew doing this before, makes the shirts look like they might actually fit me

Not sure why one has tabs and one does not I am just reporting this from another blog. I'll buy one and see how they are. Who knows they may be awesome, or they may become a change the oil in my car shirt. Oh yeah and visit my blog consumeit.blogspot.com.

If you've got Martin+Osa near you, their chambray shirt is marked down to 39.50 + 30% off right now. Comes to around $27. It's pretty much all gone online except for XXL.

the idea is that people see slim-looking shirts in a picture/on a mannequin, try them on, notice they fit, feel sexy, and buy them.
