With my only contribution to this thread being that I buy my jeans at winners, but have read a lot of the "this thread is so gay" responses, I just want to add that for me a lot of the WTF kind of thinking is just that some of the posts in this thread remind me of being 16 again.
"OMG you wear $40 jeans? What a loser" kind of stuff. It is just really weird to hear guys talk about their "style" and how much they love name brand stuff.
Of course I have my own bias built into that, as do many other people. And I have noticed that a lot of the posts have been genuine and about quality more than about bragging about name brands, but nevertheless it does remind me of watching kids get ridiculed for not wearing top designer fashion when really 99% of the time that is all BS and a $50 pair of jeans is of at least as good of quality as $200 pairs. I know the intentions of the posters isn't to come off as some 16 year old choch who thinks being seen with brand names is all that matters but I can see how others get that impression.
For full disclosure I don't think there is anything wrong with a guy who is concerned about his fashion, I just find it strange that it has to be associated with a name brand. I never buy clothes because the maker, I buy them because of look, quality, feel etc. And I do own a few G-Star Raw jakcets so I'm no stranger to spending ridiculous sums of money to look good.
