I don't understand why people pay top dollar for otherwise normal T-Shirts or Hoodies emblazoned with a logo of a particular brand. Is it a form of conspicuous consumption relevant only to a particular subculture?

So, ok, you like Carhartt; but what is the point of buying a sweatshirt that says, "Carhartt"? The entire point of Carhartt is the clothes are durable and utilitarian; yet, somehow, this seems to have been transformed into a prestige brand of such magnitude people will pay top dollar for a sweatshirt simply because it says... "Carhartt".
