I agree with this. I highly doubt if people bought these button ups they would be trying to show them off as a big centerpiece like they just spent $250 on an Ironheart flannel. I think most out fits look good if they have a mix of brands with similar aesthetic. A basic, good-fitting flannel under a cardigan or jacket looks the same whether its 40 bucks or $250 bucks.

The name of the brand influences what peoples buy and styleforum isn't an exception.
I think the question is do you really want to support a company that has had issues over discriminatory practices against minorities, the autistic, uses disreputable manufacturing, targets ignorant kids with too much money, and is associated with pure dochebaggery from its ceo to its average customer?
Slim plaid and flannel shirts are honestly dime a dozen especially nowadays. What's more important is a company whose product you can trust. Who gives a **** how the shirts fit? Who gives a **** if quality is not absolute mud?

Now we need a Pac Sun, American Eagle, Sears, Steve & Barry's, and maybe an Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier thread.
Pac Sun is horrible. AE is decent. Sears is decent. Never went to SB. Ed Hardy is unacceptable.

Can we have a budget subforum? I think it's fine that people want to know how to look passable on the cheap but it'd be cool if it didn't intrude on more interesting threads. This abercrombie thread got to 5 pages in 12 hours and I bet the junya thread is buried on forum page 12. I'm on no high horse I work on sub-shoestring budget (literally been putting off spending what little money i do have for new laces for my ebayed redwings lol) but man I don't see what's interesting about it to talk about this **** as much as people do. The people on the budget style level would do much better to look at runway shows and make shabby edits out of what they see using the mall budget as opposed to actually reading the mall brand threads.

I'd wear their oxford shirts if I could find a way to get the logo off them. I have long arms and like slimmer cuts so they fit really well.

Those oxfords do have a pleasing taper. I have to laugh at the presentation of their shirts, though; unbuttoned collar, two buttons undone on the top. And all the damn sleeves are rolled up. Every last one! How am I supposed to know if it's a french cuff or not?
edit: Knits do look cool as well. They're cotton, right?
