A 'gym outfit'?

yeah. It's so cute. A beige and black hooded jumper that zips up and matching reebok trousers that come down to about my mid calf. Plus gym shoes. Very 8-Mile when I wear it with the hood up.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

totally missed this, but sorry - that's a bit of parroting if anything at allOriginally posted by Provost Harrison
It's so materialistic isn't it, you pay for a name sewed/embroidered somewhere on the thing. The fact remains the same - I think there is rarely a quality issue now as they all seem to be made in sweatshops in China.
When you start comparisons with your higher end group actually in the high end - quality definitely becomes a concrete factor. We're not talking about the same fabrics, or fabrication. We're not either talking about the same functional design or quality control
Furthermore, the more costly fashion brands generally have nothing to do with sweatshops or cheap Chinese labour. If you're thinking something more general like GAP, fine - but the actual upper brands and creams of quality are of Italian make, of German, of Dutch. In between - the labour starts to sink somewhat to your example - ie.) Turkish, Morrocan, etc; but all still in comparably superior quality. Hey, even a lot of Gap products are intrinsically superior to bare pricing, same design product
Granted - additional price paid is usually nearer to exponential the additional quality received, and there are plenty of market 'reputable' lines playing nothing more than niche rip off artist. In the end, it's pretty simple. Do you want a bombshell closet full of deteriorating products at 50$ - a manageable and simple closet half full of lasting, fully functional and date worthy products at $500 - or a lean rack of the latest, impeccably produced Eurotwat trend at $5000?
Some of us go for an average combination of the three

Hasn't he posted pictures of his girl before? I recall her being hot, though obviously missing the necessary bits and pieces."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I spent 18 years pretending to be straight, grew up in a society with heterosexual ideals, and I have eyes...I know what an attractive woman looks like.
I'm sure 99% of men know what an attractive man looks like, too. Most won't admit it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

you know... just admitting a man is attractive doesn't necessarily make you a homosexual...I'm sure 99% of men know what an attractive man looks like, too. Most won't admit it.
yeah but it doesn't help
