If you consider San Francisco and New York "sort of close to each other".... learn to read.

You shouldnt have to go through that to wash a pair of shorts espeacially when you pay $80 for them.
That sucks, though those shorts looked pretty awful to me anyway. Yeah there is definitely stuff in there that looks like it will disintegrate under your gaze, but you can find **** anywhere, seriously, any-*******-where. All Saints is a fast-fashion brand so the expectation shouldn't be superb construction, it's about getting your fix for cool looking fun **** at prices that compare well with similarly styled designs from luxury labels. However, your original post that made me

felt to me like a perpetuation of the "quality as abstract indicator of supreme value" myth. No need to rehash that very old convo here, but essentially it's a little silly to say "no one who cares about quality would go into X store". At the same time, I am one of those people that likes my designer **** but has no qualms about buying mass-market stuff to fill in my wardrobe if it works for me. re Pinhas: I don't like to talk about "quality" just as is, the word has taken on a different definition on this forum, it is essentially a buzzword and has little objective value. Construction quality is something like UO to J Crew range, varies greatly. there are some knits that you see and you think, yeah that's not gonna make it through the washing machine, and others feel decent and substantial, same with shirts. It's a brand I would not take a gamble on without seeing in person. Though I'm not sure I'd take a gamble on any brand I hadn't seen in person these days.

They absolutely have some interestingly styled pieces and one of my favorite things they have are the sueded leather overshirts with metal wiring in the collar, placket, and hem which allows you to kinda rumple and style your shirt as you please, collar actually stays exactly as you leave it, pretty cool I thought.

I'm in love with this brand because their shirts fit me perfectly in small. Plus, I love the style of their clothes. Also, they are definitely on the grungy side with their "distressed" collections of clothing.
