I remember when every kid on campus wore A&F. It was like a uniform

You must be young.

I remember when A&F and Eddie Bauer sold real things for real men. I still own two Bauer down bags with deerskin liners rated to -30, made in USA.

How times have changed...

I have tried to explain to my kids what a simple Gap sweatshirt used to be like. It was a life long sweat shirt. You had it forever. Indestructible.

Or a pair of Levis. A new pair of Levis now is like a heavy weight paper.

I sell vintage clothes and I come across stuff that is light years better, 20 years old, than anything today. I recently sold a sweater from the 80s (Camp Beverly Hills--ha!) that joker weighed in at just over 4 pounds. Many of the newer "sweaters" I can ship First Class, meaning under 13 ounces.
