Why sleep with skinny women when fat chicks are easier?

I learned the appeal of expensive clothing when I bought a black shirt from the mall and was like "hey this fits well, cool, it's a black shirt" and then wore it twice because it felt like a sweaty witch groping my skin when I wore it. Also weird white streaks on the cuffs that looked like someone drew on it w/ chalk or something.

I think Uncontrol nailed it when it comes to basics.

And no I don't LIKE supreme OR Rap. I do however like Metal/Trance/Skramz/Alt & Indie and Dior ( I tried a friend's suit once, let me just say...I felt like a TRILLION bucks)


what backwood town in PA are you from?

you wonder why people pay more money for clothes, yet feel like a trillion dollars in a dior suit?

Dior IS KNOWN for quality...BoO is an obscure brand that people are willing to shell out 275 for a shirt.

To be perfectly honest, I don't see what's so wrong with this idea--I get the sides taken in on my uniqlo shirts for $16 all the time and it works out pretty well--I haven't had any of my OCBDs unravel or rip at the side seams. Boo's overall slimness might be the factor (armholes, etc.) but I don't see why body fit has to be such a selling point when alterations are so inexpensive. Is there some fundamental flaw that I'm missing to this "buy well made shirts and get them tailored to the fit you like?" idea
