Of course; however, if one views clothing as a status symbol, then logos tend denote the mid-range. Therefore, a polo pony on your breast is rather underwhealming.

I know this is off-topic. But is Hugo Boss bad quality or just not great? And does that go for all labels? Regarding the discussion point, I really regard a company's history as irrelevant when it's that long ago. What they're doing today matters far more.

I have to say, I find someone asking how much an item of clothing cost to be incredibly embarrassing and awkward. For that reason alone I'd avoid logos (even then, it doesn't stop some people). I don't think that's so much of an issue for many on here, who are older and therefore around more mature people... unfortunately, I'm not.
