Has BR gone crazy?

[norcaltransplant]

This has to qualify as one of the dumbest product marketing moves in the past 6 months... http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse....=701401

This, you mean?

"(Please note: This cuff link style does not fit Banana Republic French-cuffed shirts.)"

 

[moosy]

Pink has been selling them for years

My night went from ****** to not that bad. Thanks, Norcal. I'm in tears laughing right now.

 

[cloud9eleet]

Arent these free at most places?

 

[zjpj83]

hahaha

but these... then buy someone else's shirt to go with them

 

[johnnynorman3]

No, they aren't free at any places I know of. But at least most places sell knots that actually fit in the shirts that they sell.

 

[alchimiste]

How can they not fit?

 

[RJman]

Twenty bucks. #Q)_#@$)_Q. Even overpriced Charvet silk knots are about $12.

 

[johnnynorman3]

They are $20 for three (still highly priced). They are too thick for the buttonholes.

 

[johnnynorman3]

BTW, I think Banana Republic Premium shirts are an even dumber marketing move. It started out so promising, and has now simply become a haven for American Jackass style.

Somebody should send this to Jay Leno for the headlines segment. This is pretty damn funny.

 

[Mike C.]

Charvet are actually $14, however they are real silk. Most others are just elastic.

Though the Charvet are real silk, they fall apart pretty easy.

Man, this is funny... LMAO

I work at BR and yes i'm not proud of it, and now even but its money. Anyhow we got those in and sold about 5-6 pairs and then all of a sudden we started getting them back cause they didn't fit. This was from their first batch about 3 months ago. I guess they aren't smart enough to fix the problem. They are free usually with shirts from BB.
