You pay a quarter of a grand for a shirt, you expect the buttons to stay on until you're out of the store.

Love me some BoO, but it s freaking rip.

Yeah, I think with Zara, it's all about the cut. They're able to mimic what's fashunable and spit out affordable copies within weeks... I bought a couple of slim-fit trousers/polos from Zara Man; not sure if that was a higher-quality line, but they all look great an have held up well.

You're just favoring wings & horns because it has more hype, nonnative's better in fit, construction, zippers, and uniqueness.

I would wear non-native, but the reason I won't/can't is tied into the need for this thread. Terrible bang for the buck. Non-native is getting a ton of hype right now while W+H is getting increasing backlash. Funny, since no one seems to actually wear Non-native.

Although your argument is completely subjective and silly (kinda like this thread), I found a lot of lol in the better zipper part.
