also related thought: lol at the "its made in china so it must be ****" line of thought. Yes, everything made in China must be ****. Theres no way there could be a factory in a country of a billion plus people that's capable of producing a quality product...

I mean, they look ugly to me. Pattern looks ugly, colors look ugly (although they don't clash, which is a plus I guess), why wear something ugly when there's a bunch of stuff out there that isn't? I guess they have prep cachet, but in that case you might want something even preppier.

This isn't my line of thought at all actually. It just irks me that a label like Rag & Bone advertises the hell out of "made in the U.S.A," and even claims it's at the core of their philosophy, then turns around to produce overseas while simultaneously increasing their prices. This shirt retailed for $250, which is outrageous. I completely understand that when it comes to making a solid product, the most important aspect is quality control. China in particular has invested an incredible amount of money into garment manufacturing, and has many factories that are more more than capable of producing quality products.

yeah, I know it wasn't what you were saying... but it made me think about the sort of comments that I referenced (which pop up here quite often). And yeah, the retail for alot of R&B's stuff is getting ridiculous, especially since a lot of it isn't that nice.

Yes on the NBÂ´s, clean.

The bracelets were horrible, the madras shorts (while not my preferred pattern) were nice!

yo bwahaha, i went thru the exact same thing with the mallory boots. i bought them from forward and they even advertised it as being made in new york. got them and they said made in china. i sort of felt betrayed

(if thats the right word)

i ended up selling them because i just didnt like the connotation it reminded me of every time i wore them.

up to you..
