Primark for cheap clothes? pffffft
2 years ago I bought a dozen heavyweight cotton Fruit of the Loom t-shirts from www.polo-shirts.co.uk for around £2 each.
They're all still wearable and in decent condition.
😀
Bet a Primark t-shirt wouldn't be £2, and certainly wouldn't last 2 years.
As you can probably guess, I couldn't give a monkeys about clothes. Provided I'm not cold and naked in public then that's all that's required.
My t-shirts and hoodies tend to be branded stuff (snowboard brands etc), i have some that are years old and are still in good condition.
You can tell the difference between cheap t-shirts or hoodies and good quality ones...thicker material, heavier, and retain shape. Cheaper or poor quality t-shirts tend to lose their shape and billow out at the back ([s]probably due to my incredibly muscular back[/s] poor posture).
I exclude SuperDry though - IMHO their t-shirts and hoodies are cheaply made and over priced.
Skateboarding puts an end to most of my clothes pretty quick... Ripping off back pockets and ripping the crotch seem to have been the most common issues, t shirts go around the hem, I go through expensive socks at a rate that I cannot explain. Hoodies last a while but get shredded eventually after about a year. I also kill about 6 pairs of skate shoes/ trainers and at least 1 waterproof coat a year. Half is clumsiness I reckon.
Couldn't agree more Hamish Superdry stuff is shit.
some of my tshirts i've owned for over half my life. 8)
Yeh so the socks thing...I SMASH expensive socks. I really like them...and buy them thinking they'll last an age and within a few months they are holed.
Maybe because I walk round the house/office with them.
I think my thighs are too big. But more Chris Hoy than chubbsy.
