For $145, McQ Alexander McQueen -- a diffusion line -- makes a 100% cotton graphic tee whose image is primarily on the front panel, yet it flows perfectly over the shoulder seams forming a contiguous whole:



For $680, Givenchy (mainline) makes a 100% cotton graphic tee whose design is exclusively on the shoulders, and it still doesn't come anywhere close to matching along the shoulder seams. :facepalm:



Guess which one is sold out in two sizes?

Humanity continues to disappoint me.

Some guy named Dallas Green


And I hear some guy named Barrack is your president.

That McQ tee looks like some Affliction knockoff. like a crappy knockoff you would find only on a clearance rack at a TJ Maxx that was in a ****** town.

Plus the Givenchy one would look better if none of them lined up. like as is it looks half-assed, which I think is what your concern is. I think it's just the way the tee shirt is cut though. you'll see that there are no seams above the shoulder so they like cut along the armpit area and stitched it back together in the right place. which makes it cool again.

I had to double-check on google to make sure his name wasn't "Dalas" Green since I thought that was the joke you were making :embar:

Although, working for a company based out of Montreal I've quickly learned that Canada takes their music exports very seriously. Sorry for not knowing who he was haha

edit: it's also possible (likely) that ssense bought less of the Givenchy tee, so if a few sold it's already out of stock, when they might have a bunch of the McQ ones. It's also XS and XL that are sold out, and they probably bought the least of those anyway.

The birds of paridise tees look really great but no chance in hell would I pay those prices.

^ Please, if it were only that simple. You'll never be satisfied/get bored.

On a side note, 21 Jump Street was alright haha

lollll. I need some kind of benchmark to compare instances of "curated" against on different style / design / fashion sites and blogs.

Didn't know wtf was going on until the last 30min of the movie. Drinks definitely made it tolerable.
