Depends on your definition of 'just as good', I guess.

[i]"Why does everyone ask "why is this so expensive" instead of asking "why is this so cheap?"[/i]
PeterPoddy - MemberI thought nobody over the age of 30 was as allowed to wear jeans...?
Only if you listen to STW's very own Gok Wan.

struggle to understand why that many people are commited to buying british above something usually just as good and cheaper from abroad.Sure I get the whole 'support british workers' angle, but I like to think I'm supporting the country by paying VAT, and my Taxes etc etc...
And is the guy making those 240 quid jeans really getting paid that much more than the guy in the high street shop who in turn gets laid off due to the direct to customer model..
Well there's clearly a high level of **** tax applied to the £240 jeans, so that's not a fair comparison - I'm sure you can pay just as much for poncy foreign jeans.
Probably even more now, thanks to Brexit (ding!).
Tangent: Aldi jeans promo was shot on the west shore at Llandudno, are they copying Howies' outdoorsy marketing schtick?
