I can't speak for others but in my case it's really just that I can't actually afford new things or to waste anything. Agreed with Lady, clothing is expensive as **** so I only shop at thrift stores but have an incredibly hard time finding men's clothes that fit me and that I actually like. You'd think what with all the horrifying sweatshop labor over seas new clothes would be more affordable.

Idk where you all are seeing these expensive clothes but I can easily find affordable clothes without going to a thrift shop.

Good clothes are expensive. Plnty of places, especially Supermarkets, sell jeans for a tenner here (that's 'bout 16 bucks) but they don't last. And they're made in sweatshops.

It's not necessarily that they're expensive I guess more just that I don't have a lot of disposable income, about 100$/month so if I spend 20-30$ before tax on 3 garments then I can't do anything for the rest of the month. I guess I'd rather get a six pack of nice beer or treat myself to something nice to eat once every other week or so then have clothes that don't look like they've been assaulted by moths. A lot of it has to do with my job though, it's surprisingly rough on my clothes and between that and skateboarding... whew, my **** gets wrecked.

@charlie, the good ones are more then likely made in sweatshops too.

Yeah, you're probably right. :(

American Apparel, if you can stomach their terrifyingly horrible employees, makes some nice clothes that may be affordable- at least with basics. And they're made in America. Can't say I would be caught dead in disco pants but I have a few t shirts that fit me nicely from there that were like 15$.

American Apparel's CEO is a ****ing paedo

What??

Their ads always weirded me out and I can't stand being in one of those stores for longer than 10 minutes but I had no idea their CEO was a pedophile, EW.

Actually I think I mixed him up with Terry "Tampon Tea" Richardson but Dov does have a tonne of sexual harassment suits against him

Dov is ****ing nasty
