Grrr. Price of t-shirts these days.

[Kanenite]

I saw this on eBay and immeadiately thought, "I MUST HAVE IT!" and then I looked at the price.





Wanna know the price?

£17.99 + £5.95 postage. I mean, it looks great, but where the hell do people get £20+ to spend on a t-shirt?

Another example (same style)...



Looks good, doesn't it. And at £2.19 right now, who can blame you placing a bid?

Well, the rip off £5.99 postage could be a start. This one has an excuse though, it's coming from Thailand. It's not a bad price, infact, this one is a bad example. £8 for a t-shirt is pretty good. But some, phwoar.... I saw a t-shirt yesterday, £24.99.

So to make this a worth while debate/discussion...

Are the prices of the latest fashion and clothes in general on the rise? Have they risen to their peak or do you expect them to rise again?

And please, make your post worthwhile, I don't wanna see "thas a gr8 shirt im guna get 1 lol".

So, what do you think?

I agree with you kane, my auntie gave me a top thingy, a white one, fred perry the make is... i looked how much it was worth.. and it was like £90..

I'm not saying your shirt is cheap or crap or anything, but if I was to pay £90 for a shirt, I'd want gold on it and be made out of pure silk.

But even browsing catologes and stuff, some stuff is way over priced.

The price of shoe these days is a disgrace.

Aye, the branding. I know exaclty what you mean.

Less popular brand of trainer (for arguments sake) - £25
Same type of trainer by Nike - £50+

Although some people will pay that. If I want a pair of trainers like that, I wait until Christmas.

I had a Lacoste polo shirt given to me once (£50) And polo shirts are shyte material...
