Listi love that shirt. Just pay retail for the AA, I don't know why everyone is upset that AA blocked wholesalers from screwing them over (aside from having to pay more, of course). If you're cheap just buy Hanes/Target/whatever and stop complaining.

Alls I'm saying is that the exact same product is available for 1/3 the price, then take it. That's what I would do. I think spending more on clothes for the sole reason is like those kidz in high school that bragged about their clothes and referred to each piece in terms of billz and not dollars.

I got that fitted for two billz, yo.

But it's not, so that's irrelevant

I'm all about sales and getting a good deal. But when you can't get it on the cheap anymore, instead of spending hours and hours trying to find something similar... it's only $20 just buy it. I always say "time is money" applies strongly to clothing. You can search sales for hours and get good deals, or you can pay the price and save hours and hours of wasted time. What's more important to you? Hours of your time? Or $20? It's different when you're trying to cop some Lanvins or something for $200 instead of $800, if you spend 3 hours to find them damn you saved $200 an hour. But if you spend 3 hours to get a $20 shirt for $8, you saved $4 an hour, woo hoo :\\ you'd have been better just to buy at full price. I need more AA underwear and am going to end up just buying like $100 worth at full price because of no blanks, it sucks but what can you do?

You're a complete moron to think A DESIGNER LABEL tee is the same as some shitty hipster store brand t-shirt. It may be a t-shirt but it can still have extreme varying differences in BOTH quality and style.

Because his idea of a cotton long sleeve tee is probably not anything what you're picturing. You find me the same thing for cheaper, and I'll be ecstatic.


(and it layers very well)

Thanks for explaining.

I mean, I don't care, cheap can be done REALLY well by people with standard body types (not me, at all), I'm not a clothing elitist. But $20 should be more or less within anyone's price range really, going to dinner at Appleby's would likely cost more.
I wear under $10 (don't remember the price) Uniqlo shirts in xs. I have 20-25 of their white tees. Cheap and nice fit. The OP should go for those, nicer than AA. Most expensive tees I got are Rick Owens double-layered longsleeves at $350-400. I honestly almost never wear the RO, in fact I think I got one left...

uniqlo tees don't work for me, i got the XS (fits more like a small) at their soho location and they don't taper at all. really awkward flare at the bottom

I have a +J tee that fit me decently well in the store, but I haven't worn it out (have been locked into biz-cas 5 days a week for the past 4 months) yet. Seems good, and was like $15 I think (long sleeves)

I personally can't stand uniqlo tees for anything other than the gym, the collar is horrible.

listi, don't you go to school in kingston (seem to recall reading that you're a queen's student)? my head would explode if i saw someone walking around campus in RO + julius steez.
