    There you have it. Chicks dig the designs so go and wear them but don't tell women how much you paid for them. :p

    I wouldn't know from experience, but I would think that the main reason for paying $80 for a shirt would be to tell a girl that you paid $80 it.

    Again, I wasn't speaking from experience. All but a few items in my closet are closer to $8 than $80, and they definitely aren't t-shirts.

    I find that most women don't have a good grasp of doucheness. Have you guys noticed this?

    Awww I wasn't speaking directly to you, but just to any man who does that - like, all the guys who answer option A on the poll in the other thread. :D

    Like most style, i don't mind them other than the fact that douche bags wear the f*** out of them until i can't wear them for fear of being considered a douche. I remember not that long ago everyone and their momma was wearing striped button down shirts (ok their nice, i like to wear them too) but since EVERYONE was wearing them i couldn't because it makes you look like a goon.

    Watch, a couple years from now you will see these shirts at Ross for $15.

    I'm fairly sure that if I posted a poll, 90% of y'all would think I was one.

    Yeah, but most guys don't have a good grasp on skankiness either...

    I think most women respect a guy who dress nice. Unfortunately, the majority of the dudes who care enough to dress nice all the time are douches. One my friend is ugly (a shorter version of seal) but he dresses nice and has his own style (not a douche) and chicks really dig that.

    I have to disagree with you on that one brotha. Most guys do have a good grasp on skankiness, we just don't care.

    I've been pondering the thread topic for a few months now and I have to agree that most wearers of Affliction shirts are douchebags. Its even worse when they're 40yrs+ and stepping out to the local clubs trying to act younger than they are. But to each his own.

    i'd like to think a douchebag has more to do with someone's attitude than what he wears.

    wouldn't wear one if you paid me. it always pains me to be reminded how poor people's taste can be.

    you may be right but it might be the same for them. Most women say they hate when guys are like that but they keep dating them. Most guys hate skanks but they keep dating them. They like their douches just like we like our skanks (that sounds like a good sig :p ).

    ooh i hate this too. Its even worse when they have no idea about the fashion and their just trying to wear what they see their son wearing. Anybody else have one of those uncle's who watches music videos all day and tries to go out with those clothes on? Its like you wanna say somethin' but you don't want to embarass them.

    but seriously, i like the xtreme couture shirts but not too fond of the popped collar. i'd wear them xtreme if i were stupid enough to pay $80 bucks.

    OMGross!!!! As a fellow cltuchfan I recommend Dsquared2, Rock and Republic, or Levi's X Warhol Factory Sam.

    Stay away from brands you find in outlets or Macy's.

    ...don't ask me how I know this.

    AG makes really nice jeans, but Sam is right. They start falling apart around the back pockets or any other place where there's stitching like the belt loops.

    As far as those designer tees, they are super gay. Wear a damn button down like a normal human being when you go out.
