Worst: Band of Outsiders
I love their pieces, and they have graet cuts and designs, but their prices are outrageous. I had a local stockist tell me he wouldn't sell their stuff because no one would take it until it was 70% off. Ridiculous. And those buttons. You pay a quarter of a grand for a shirt, you expect the buttons to stay on until you're out of the store.

Hm, does BoO really have a button problem like that? That reminds me of the only time I tried on a RLPL shirt and the second to top button flew right off into the other side of the fitting room lmao. And the shirt was a little big on me too...

Worst: H&M (nothing will last for more than a short while)Originally Posted by clarksdb
I can't say so. I have shirts, tee's and sweaters that I have washed and worn a many many times and they're still in shape and fit great. I own some blazers and jackets for more than 4 years and I wore the **** out of them and don't have any problems qualitywise. Sure they sell items which are totally crap but you can also find some great fitting stuff that last a long time.

Yes, he wasn't exaggerating by much. RL doesn't have the greatest button stitching either.

Haha yea my buddy was just handling a BoO shirt on the rack and the button popped off. He looked around nervously and shuffled away. Just look at them: small, thin and flimsy.

no brand cuts shirts like BOO does (ie, super-slim/cropped) in a simple aesthetic w/ relatively good fabric
find me one and i will concede that BOO is overpriced
