Topic: buying clothes etc online?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone here bought clothes and accessories online from places other than ebay? I'm looking for a store that would be the equivalent of Universal or General Pants online.

I buy a lot of shirts from threadless.com but they don't have belts, bags, etc.

fashionjeans.com.au - just denim though

ebay is good but you need to know your stuff to distinguish amongst the knock-offs.

Goddamn $300+ for 1 pair of faggy "fake worn" look jeans!

Do some of you guys really pay that much for 1 item of clothing?

Jesus f***, I once paid $75 for a pair of jeans, and I thought that was a lot.

I just paid $125 for kevlar reinforced, triple stitched motorcycle jeans... paying anywhere near that for regular jeans is a complete rip.

You guys be crazy!

Every now and then I get a little crazy and buy a shirt worth $50, or jeans worth ~100, but 3/4 pairs of my jeans were dirt cheap, as were most of my shirts.

no really, $75 for a pair of jeans is not expensive at all
if you want your clothes to last you can't be buying them at big-w

I refuse to buy industrie stuff anymore. s*** falls apart so f***in quickly. Their manufacturing standards are the lowest of the low these days.

I got my jeans for $20 from Kmart.

It's been like 3 or 4 years and they're still in perfect condition.

Of course they do, they're still a regular pair of jeans.

$300? Talk about getting ripped the f*** off, what the hell are you people paying so much for, the materials are absolutely dirt cheap.

No amount of design or brand name can justify that much money for denim.

alright i'll rephrase that

i bet they are boring as bat s***

i couldn't personally justify spending $300 on a pair of jeans not sure why but i don't think jeans really attract that much attention $140 is around my zone for jans, but i totally understand how people do because i spend alot on other bits of clothing and stuff that i'm sure you can buy for $20 from kmart too

some $20 jeans can look good, most are ass. the reverse is true for expensive jeans, most of them are good but obviously there are some that are a rip off. and ppl saying you can't tell the difference between a $20 pair and a $150+ pair are retarded.

You have the word straight confused with the word retarded.

no, it's definately retarded.

my fave is probably: http://www.karmaloop.com/

some others: http://www.digitalgravel.com/ http://www.freshin.com/ http://www.thegiantpeach.com/ http://www.threadless.com/

for the (mostly) fluro f***ing homo s*** that's all over general pants and universal these days check places like http://www.pitbullmansion.com/ http://www.purestcut.com.au/ http://www.mintshop.com.au/

For the record, my $75 jeans still look and feel fine, after 2 years of use. I'd pay $150 for jeans if they were REALLY good, but even that is f***ing pushing it.

I am a straight boot cut single colour wash jeans guy.

Cannot stand the fake worn/pre faded bulls***.

Tight jeans are just horrendous and any guys wearing them can just hand in their balls there and then.


Makes it hard to find jeans I like, but when I do they don't cost much which rocks :D
