How can people afford Kenneth Cole?

I was shopping with one of my Israeli relatives here in Pasadena and went into a Macy's. I don't go shopping very often, and if I do it's at a walmart where I get my 4 pack of tank tops and $13 levis. And I got to see the price of these Kenneth Cole shirts! Holy crap! $80 for ONE SHIRT!? A SHIRT!? My relative wanted to buy me a shirt and I wouldn't let him until I found one that was on mondo sale and went down from $76 to $27.

And even at $27 it is the most expensive shirt I own o.O

Hey man, I've had the same complaint with lots of clothing brands for years now. But my little bro just keeps buying them.

I, for one, can't pay so much cash just to be seen in some kewl threads. I'd rather wear sack cloth.

Everything I wear is either old navy or fruit of the loom

Pffft womens clothing can be rediculasly expensive. As a guys I was blown away at how much more money they have to spend for "good"/stylish clothing. We pay what? About $15 maybe $30 US for a good or higher end pair of brand name jeans? Girls jeans of the same calibure are twice as much or more allot of times.

Old navy here.

macy's, nordstroms, sterns, all the clothing stores suck. It's ridiculous having to pay 60 bucks for 1 pair of jeans. 60-70 bucks for a shirt. That and the crap they carry now seems so hippy/flamer esque that only super anerexic males can wear em.

The clothes from old navy are cheaper, looks just as good, and wear just the same as the expensive clothes. For that 1 pair of jeans an a shirt at macy's i can buy like 12 pairs of jeans and shirts at old navy.

I'm sorry but clothing industry is a bit out of hand.

Unfortunatly I am forced to shop at the Gap because there arent any stores that carry my size. I'm tall and skinny. I can sometimes get away with a 30inch waist but not on alot of stuff...so Gap is the only place that carrys 28X32 jeans. sad sad times. expensive too. Even on sale, they are like $30.

Man maybe I should go back to water polo. That gave me a nice waist line. This competetive swimming I'm stuck on makes me HELLZA skinny.

um i usually buy stuff from the local surf/skate shops .......... MAYBE pacific sunwear if i find something i like ....... but they dont even sell skateboards or surf boards only clothing so i kinda think of them as a "poser" store
