oh geez… this is lululemon all over again…
or those overpriced Canadian winter jackets from 8 months ago.
Oh noses, more hipster fashion.
just another non status symbol. or a bad choice in duds.
I thought it was just me who thought that was lame. They don’t even look nice! they look like they’ve been purchased at a discount bin somewhere.
There’s an old story from The Onion:
“Area Man Has Old Navy, Asshole, Written All Over Him.”
The brand names change, the characterizations do not.
Well then I wouldn’t advise you to buy nor wear one then.
I’m on the fence with this one. I don’t own one…but have contemplative the purchase….and hated the whole collar up look…..but I never thought I’d rock the skinny jean either.
If it’s not “Bench”. it would be the name of some other company. My question is, in this commercial world, why the fuck are you bothered by one brand enough to write a bitch?
let’s not even begin with all the fashion faux pas in this city…..that would be a bitch spread over several months.
I think it’s funny that all these companies are getting people to pay money to advertise their brand! I advertise for no one. My clothes sre slogan/logo free. Does wearing the logo make you a better person? More important? Ha! It ain’t what’s on the outside that counts but logo wearing sure does help in identifying the shallow who believe it is.
Ed Hardy fashion takes the cake. God I hate that shit so much.
Remember those GAP sweaters …
I actually like bench hoodie/jackets (not the rain jackets, the gym type light stretchy cotton jackets) — I tried two on in quebec city that I fell in love with, but can’t find here.
But, it’s just as well because spending 100 bucks on a hoodie…well it’s kinda dumb. Maybe on lululemon pants because of my hatred for pants and the fact that it feels like I’m going pantsless, but I have a blue gym jacket I got from smart set on sale for 20 bucks that looks and does the job just as well.
HOWEVER, one of my good friends in Vancouver found an outlet and got two bench hoodies for 24 bucks each. I’d take that deal 🙂
Also: I love how a certain clothing company chains their bench merc to the rack. It SERIOUSLY made me LOL.
fcuk is the stupidest by farrrrrrrrrrrr
