I look at the clothes in my 25yr old sons Maxim and men's clothes catalogs and we laugh at that style, looks so gay (fruity).

You can by worn out red jeans for only 55 bucks.

And the cords with the embroidered roosters all over them.

Then the wrinkled shirt under the vintage sweater covered by the worn looking plaid jacket.

Garnet Hill also is another one shrunken worn clothing that a poor farm girl in another country is shown wearing in the ad.
Looks like hippie lefty style gone poor farm organic girl. For very hefty prices.

I saw a vintage t shirt for 40 bucks and I could of sworn it's skiing graphic was an old worn out shirt my son owned when he was 12(now 25).

I was like look Hon, the shirt you wore all the time pre teen that I tossed in the garbedge has made it's way onto the trendy vintage over priced catalog.

I started saving his clothes a few years ago to have a quilt made if he passes on before me. Now I am thinking of resale value the hell with sentiment.

And all his clothes are in perfect condition, no foods stains, due to being g tube fed and sitting in his wheechair. The wash is the only wear they have.
They do have cool sheets for the bed in guy styles though.

Jeans and T's with local area logo's such as colledge football teams and tourist sites in our area or state always in fashion.

And living in fisherman/hunter coastal country and owning three Yellow Labs he is going to love the Columbia Sportswear shirt with hunting bird dogs (Labs) all over it is going to be a hit for Christmas.

It's thrift store chic, I suppose.

The Salvation Army actually has some nice threads, if-like me-you're a bargain hunter.

Unfortunately, they are located in Williamsburg, which is one of the few places in Brooklyn which I try studiously to avoid at all costs.

At least, if I want to avoid being arrested for "Spontaneous homicide of mind-numbed, socialist drones."

I think that's a felony in New York state.

Yup. That seems to be the choice for the fashion-conscious under thirtys. The "wigger" look or the "metrosexual" look.

Let me tell ya this...vintage sells! I can't get my kids into "new" clothing. It has to be deconstructed jeans and vintage tee shirts. While my older son ( the one with a job) will go to Goodwill and other thrift shops and find some "incredible deals", my younger ones (the ones for whom mommy is still responsible for buying clothes for) all like the A & F stuff. What gets me is that the more the garment is faded, ripped and otherwise vintage in appearance the more expensive it is. Bling bling is out and old and worn is in.
