The irony is that this is often true. I have always preferred shirts that have minimal advertising on them (preferably none, but a dime sized insignia is generally the best you get) but they are notably harder to find and when you do, they are more expensive. The happy medium I have found is looking for used Polo type shirts that were expensive when new, which I can generally find cheaply because collars aren’t a popular look these days.
You mean blank t-shirts? Because blank t-shirts are usually a lot cheaper than ones with a logo, and most other kinds of shirts I don’t usually see logos on them but maybe we shop in different places. For t-shirts I used to get them from a screen printing vendor because I liked ha ING multiple different colored shirts and they were usually around like 2-3 dollars per shirt depending on the brand
Not bad, but I was mostly referring to brand names, generally with better fabric than just blank t shirts. I have plenty of those shirts that have Pima or other expensive fabrics that I paid $5-20 for a piece used. They are a lot more comfortable, and generally last longer.
But how can you show them that you bought an overpriced shirt made by a child in Bangladesh?
Screenprint the notice right on the shirt: this shirt supports Bangladeshi child welfare
Kinda makes everyone else jerks if they’re buying clothes from makers who could afford their next meal regardless.
The problem is it’s hard to hold people accountable for their actions because the liberal court system doesn’t allow for it. As a fellow sigma, I don’t let anyone walk all over me anymore, learned that the hard way after my wife cheated on me and took the kids. I once bought a shirt from Facebook marketplace and it had a rip in it, I sued the seller for 10 million USD in damages, didn’t win the court case. When I tried to get the money back he refused to give me it in Monero. This country is screwed.
Adidas products are also produced really cheap due to child labour. So that’s another reason to make those cheaper for customers.
When shirts are worn less than a dozen times on average before they get tossed in the landfill, those branded shirt companies should be paying you.
Convenient video from today about this exact topic.
With very few exceptions, I will wear a shirt until it’s just not wearable anymore. If the image is really faded, I don’t care much.
The only exceptions right now are two shirts I still have from my previous job that I hated. I’m mostly keeping them around in case my wife wants them for some sort of craft project.
Trick yourself out until you look like a NASCAR
Wait… Is that 2020s really what it looks like now?! Or is the meme just 5 years old?
I have several polo Ralph Lauren clothing items in my home, the logo hasn’t changed significantly in 30+ years in shape or size on the normal polos. They do have some items that have the polo logo or the teddy bear larger but those are in the main Ralph Lauren line for fashion, not the Polo line polo shirts that are a business casual intent
I can dig the 2040’s.
But of an un branded vibe to it too.
The bougie love advertising for free! You know how many yeti stickers I see on cars? It’s a fucking ice chest…
I always make car dealers take their own sticker or badge off of any vehicle I buy. I usually offer to keep the advertising in place, in exchange for a discount, but they never take me up on it.
I make removal of any dealership branding a condition of purchase.
Hell yeah, brandalism is already too pervasive and just kind of accepted. Good on you.
