A shakeout is afoot in the world of urban apparel, as sales of once red-hot labels begin to cool, analysts and industry executives said.The across-the-board slowdown is alarming some of the major department-store retailers that had allocated a growing amount of space to these brands on the belief that the double-digit sales growth of recent years would continue, sources said.
Federated Department Stores, which operates the Macy's and Bloomingdale's chains, for instance, is seeing recent sales of urban brands decline in the double digits, compared with year-ago levels, said one person, who added: "It has everyone worried."

Meanwhile, demand for the oversized jerseys and baggy jeans that these lines were known for dwindled, as classic looks regained popularity.

"What we had at retail," admits Ullmann, Phat Fashion's president, "was too urban."

Don't expect to come on a Conservative forum bragging about how you spend your money on products made by companies that support un-American and perverted agendas and not get called on it. If you have a problem with that or believe I have violated the rules of this forum than I suggest you contact an administrative moderator. Otherwise quit complaining about it.
I don't know who she is but she fine
Well....I reckon it's not quite as exciting as your life of washing the mortar and lime from your husband's Levi's Jeans. People magazine should put you on their cover.
Cute picture!
I be MaD T3Te wit mah pimped out Segway YO!
Nope! Can't do that cuz most of th' shovels are made in China these days! Guess I'll hafta dig it by hand.
Put on m' gloves here.....Aw geez! These gloves come from Pakistan! They're made by a buncha them there moon worshippin' moooz-limbs!!
I'll just drop it here on th' grass. Fert'lize my yard with some good ol' Amurrcan fert'lizer! Wait a minute....I think some o' that produce I got at th' store might've come from Mexico! Can't have that! I'm runnin' short on time! I better just' sneak through the hedge into my neighbor's yard.
What's with all th' sirens?
Didn't you know? He is the only true path to conservatism.
In short, he's just a follower, an enforcer. He hasn't had an original thought in years.
I wonder what Jim Robinson thinks about him throwing his name around so carelessly.
That's what I call military contractors. BTW...I noticed you put a disclaimer on your homepage about what you do in Iraq. If I hadn't called you on it months ago I doubt you'd have mentioned it.
Buddy, you're the one whining about how I spend MY money. Get over yourself. You ain't my daddy. He was a better man than you.
Yeah, it's pretty exciting to wash the lime and acid out of his jeans. It means he is working. It means he has an income. It tells me that the small businessman can get somewhere in this nation. It means that the liberals haven't won yet. Believe me, if People ever comes a callin' I will be wearing my Levi's.
I wonder if he sees black helicopters all day?
Seriously, let's ignore this guy. Just let him go back to his bunker because the the man is coming....
/sarcasm off
If you ask me he is an obnoxious jerk.
I agree. Though I wonder where his tin foil is made and what liberal causes the company that makes it supports.
Yup...they fit perfect with your "gun-control" agenda. Go ahead and deny that you are against gun-control....I'm waiting with several of your quotes.
like i said, he lives in a bunker in his own little world.
Wranglers never fit right and always wore out.
Levi's wear out eventually too, like 2 years later
And they fit perfectly over my fat @$$, not my "anti-gun agenda" or whatever...
'till I discovered Gap jeans. Man, they're great--no logo on the pocket--better demin, better dye, better sewing and a size to fit every ass.
No doubt someone will hate me for wearing Gap, But:
YOU CAN PRY MY GAP JEANS FROM BETWEEN MY COLD DEAD CHEEKS!
Rumor has it that, based on the lack of success of J. Lo's line, and the concerns about a similar situation with Carey's Kiss Kiss wear, they will be merging the lines...
...they'll call it Kiss Lo...
...and the side story is Bill Clinton might come on board as an additional endorser.
I hadn't thought of them to be honest.
LOL
let the flaming begin you gun grabbing, pro gay liberal!!! LOL
