Finally Zara has palewave fits now I can be on the trend!
desu I hate zara more than any other brand in the entire fucking world
i would literally rather be forced to wear jeremy scott x rick owens than zara
>>11283684
as if there are any differences between YSL and ZARA
>ZARA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>11283780
haha sick meme friendo xD!
>>11283684
drop trip
>>11283684
>>11283785
>>11283815
why is there so much hate on zara? I'm new in /fa/
>>11283871
Its fast fashion that shamelessly steals from high fashion designers
>>11283892
why is that bad?
sounds like a good cheap way to rip off
>>11283871
the quality of their clothes is awful
like, reallyterrible
bad
>>11283902
because cheap isnt fashionable, if you live in a ghetto and dont care about construction just asethetics, then sure cop cheap fashion
>>11283906
what are cheap alternatives then ?
>>11283906
their pants are usually good though, i got a few pairs which i really like and been wearing for a long time.
>>11283909
get a job faggot. you cant buy cheap shit and expect to look good.
>>11283921
I'm a student you faggot
I got priorities
>>11283871
because zara is a fucking fag label that rips off high fashion with zero shame and then reproduces designs / trends (recently SLP SS/16 and Yeezy S2) with garbage materials / construction
pathetic brand, they're okay for absolute basics but you can guarantee that any piece over $20 is a knockoff of a real designers work
pic related, just pulled these photos from ysl and zara

I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH ZARA
>>11283871
their quality is bad, other than that it's just salty /fa/ggots that plebs can buy the same clothes as them :^)
>>11283927
>going to school and being poor

>>11283939
don't tell me what to do cunt
>>11283931
that jacket looks pathetic anyway
>>11283936
I thought so
Zara's pretty shit quality but most people hate them because it's not >muh secret club
Just goes to show how /fa/ is getting shitted up when you see people relying on muh expensive pieces rather than their own fashion sense.
>>11283931
ZARA YOU PIECE OF SHIT FUCKING DIE
>>11283931
The YSL one is better but neither are hard to conceive designs and they're printed on and shipped for maybe a 1USD total/product. Hating on a company for not charging 1990 EUR, ergo the price of my first car, an actual vehicle that I've done road trips across Europe with, for a product that at an industrial rate is worth one dollar...
I mean do you want to get fucked up the ass?
>>11283969
yeah haha I guess zara and hedi slimane (peace be upon him) are just on the same wavelength right haha?!?!?!?!?!!?!
I GUESS THEY'RE ON THE SAME CREATIVE WAVE LENGTH AS KANYE WEST
>>11283968
DAMN I GUESS THEY JUST GEL WITH DOLCE AND GABBANA TOO RIGHT HAHAAH!?!?!?!?!?!!
>>11283968
i actually like the zara one more kek
i cbf to look for any more but literally 5 minutes in their shop and I want to fucking throw up and go burn down their stores
>>11283976
wow a floral print t shirt?! so creative!!
>>11283989
Fucking die poorfag
I hate poor people they literally fucking ruin everything
>>11283931
Are you new to fashion?
Fast fashion has been doing this since they came into prominence. It's the reason why they're so big and such a dominant force.
>>11283994
this isn't me but true desu
>>11283871
I see you are
>>11283981
You are such an insufferable faggot , kill yourself.
Who cares that thye rip off the fashion brands, it's their problem and not ours. Kill yourself you fucking cunt, i wish you would stand here in front of me so i could choke your noodle neck
>>11283994
haha u mad because i pay 10 % of the price you pay and look we look the same.
>>11284000
It is my problem because when I spend $10k on new clothes for the new season I don't want some fucking welfare loser wearing my clothes, I pay for designs that I expect to be exclusive
>>11284005
Kill yourself asap
>>11283976
w2c right?
>>11284001
You pay a lot less than 10%. Like 5, tops

>>11283976
Why do you care so much you pathetic neet? Why should or anyone else that's not directly affected give two shits if zara rips anyone off. That's fucking life. 99.99% of shit aliexpress is also a rip off, everything in Urban outfitters is a rip off. You sound like a faggot typing in all caps, you're so passionate about your hate for zara, funny thing is zara will continue to gain more and more in popularity, while you sit there trying to prove a point like anyone actually cares. I hope you don't try and explain your hate of zara to actual females, you will be single forever....you probably already are single and for good reason.
>>11284083
Talk shit post fit
>>11284000
its a parasite upon creativity and craftsmanship
im sure you dont care, but for us that follow fashion and clothing design, it is agrivating to see the hard work and creativity of proper designers get ripped off and diminished to nothing more than a $30 dollar disposable item which is wasteful and unethical, not to mention it has more popularity that the one made by the actual original designer who thought up the idea in the first place
its like you working your heart out to create a unique song or artwork only for it to go unrecognised but when someone else does a blatant copy of it, they get all the credit and attention
>>11284096
Proper designers
Kanye west
Wut
>>11284096
Shut up.
>>11284097
i never mentioned kanye west you flop cunt
>>11283871
Because it's shit, figuratively and literally. It's not a "le edgy teenagers only shilling high designers and shitting on the rest" scenario here.
The quality ? There's no quality, their clothes hold themselves with paper clips and gum. You wash them once and they're dead, the lifetime of a ZARA garment is a month at the very best. They size like shit, they look goofy on anyone, they're made to fit everybody so they end up fitting nobody.
It's just shit. It's the McDonald of clothing. Not only that but it's deceptive, because they extensively use Photoshop to hide the terrible quality of their shit, so even if you are tempted by a ZARA piece : don't. You will be disappointed and end up cluttering your wardrobe with useless shit.

The asian fake market is 10x bigger and more harmful than what Zara is doing, wake up sheeple. Just clothing racism at play: Oh, "chinks always RIP off people, that's what they do", but if it's a white owned company using chinks to make fakes we should be up in arms.
>>11284114
but i like mcdonalds
>>11284115
thats cool
but i didnt post that, i dont share the same opinions as that person
it is completely irrelevant to my post
i never claimed kanye west was one of these "proper designers" i was talking about
>>11283914
yeah, they have some ok pieces but you have to be lucky to find them
You're all missing the point.
Retards are shitting on ZARA because """everyone""" is going to ZARA and H&M and they feel threatened in their hipsterness, it's not a secret cool club. Contrarian shit yadda yadda.
That's the retards.
Now the patricians are shitting on ZARA not because of it's popularity, but because of the quality of their products. Which is non-existant. Like a denim shirt for example, if you buy a denim shirt at ZARA, not only you get a piece of shit that doesn't fit you properly with a very, very cheap garment and seams that are already giving up, but you get ripped off, because you pay for something that you're going to trash in a month.
Instead you buy a Lee or Wrangler "original" denim shirt, and you're set for pretty much ten years.
>>11283871
/fa/ is mad that plebs are can wear shit that looks exactly like their "exclusive" designers
>>11284152
>plebs are can wear
did you pass 3rd grade johny
I bought a pair of cropped trousers from Zara. Pretty comfy, though a seam broke after a while. I'd still say it was worth the purchase.
>>11283780
Quality, finish, material. Albeit if both pieces are cotton you're right there is little difference.
>>11283909
There are no good enough alternatives when you go that cheap anon you wont find good textiles that cheap. Thats why I buy all my tees from Farferch sales this days. They might be $99-150 but at least the material is silk, polyamide, viscose. Silk is especially worth it, it feels good.
Farferch sales > normal Zara tbqh family.
>>11284183
shut the fuck up killy

>color isn't the same

kys idiot
>>11284187
He got the other ones right tho. These are obviously copies for the designer ones.
>>11283871
Faggots here are just mad that cheap brand for masses rip offs high designer shit with much worse quality. So people who don't have rich parents can afford similar clothes thus devaluing only thing that's interesting about their person.
You will probably see lot of posts about "zara clothes falling a part in week" and shit which just isn't true. Thousands of people wear their garments daily for months and it just gets usual wear and falls a part after acceptable time period. If you're not rich or from poor country where it is impossible to cop designer shit then go ahead shop there. Literally no one will ever care and shit will last you just okay.
>>11284207
>found the guy who shops at zara
>>11284096
that's life
>>11284213
You must be a fucking genius to find out that from my post. If it wasn't obvious enough yes I do time from time shop at Zara and H&M.
>>11284207
Not mad all its fair game. But you wont find good silk with a variety of different cuts on Zara. Saving and not being a compulsive buyer is honestly the best approach to fashion although your wardrobe will develop way more slowly you'll end up with comfy, quality materials. Stuffed wardrobes suck anyway I rotate between the same tees every week, more than half on my wardrobe is there being useless because I used to buy fast fashion en masse not the smart approach. I'm probably going to sell all the useless fast fashion I own at a garage sale.
>>11284236
lmfao then your opinion is biased and irrelevant
I really want this shirt but from the sound of it the quality will probably be shit
http://www.zara.com/us/en/man/t-shirts/view-all/printed-t-shirt-c719523p3447004.html
>>11284249
That's nice and stuff maybe works if you live in USA but here you get 3 bucks/hour for part time and not everyone's daddy is going to pay for them. So sorry I don't have patience to save up half a year for one piece.
>>11284268
i make $10 an hour i dont need daddy
>>11284207
are you really defending zara's garment quality?
im a poorfag too but i refuse to buy another t-shirt/shirt at zara/pull&bear/bershka
some of their jackets and shoes are good quality tho
>>11284268
I understand your position. Don't worry.
>>11284269
So you make 10$/hr and pay your shit and have enough money to save up for high end designer stuff? Good shit.
>>11284270
Yes. I honestly don't know about tees since I basically made all of my tees but I never had problem with jeans or jackets. Jeans usually last me a year and half of daily wear. Never had problem. Black bomber I got like more than half a year ago and wore in winter has no signs of wear.
Also note I'm not saying it's some amazing quality (ofc for someone who is used to 1000$ fabric/leather it will feel like shit) but claims it falls a part and stuff is just plain ridiculous.
>>11284289
i buy mid tier with my current job $10s not going to cut it for high end designer
>>11284300
You can. Lurk the Farfetch sales. Tees arent expensive, look good and we are entering summer.
Getting mad at Zara for being uncreative and ripping designs off yet praising Hedi is absolutely hilarious.
>>11284312
crazy, i seriously needed to buy for this upcoming summer and you saved me
>>11283976
>>11283931
Yeah, but I wouldn't wear any of this...
if you just want some decent-fitting plain t-shirts or maybe an inexpensive light jacket, Zara is totally fine.
Like most people have said, the quality is bad, and they do indeed rip off top designers. But who fucking cares. Don't spend much, grab a few simple pieces at most.
>>11284322
np but choose wisely. I would get something made of silk or would settle with cotton if its has a good interesting cut such as the Rick Owens Drk Shdw tees on sale.
If you want silk just enter "silk" on the search bar, press enter, then select order by price lowest to highest.

good one my famalam
>>11284207
>>11283871
The real reason why fast fashion is inherently bad is because it makes fashion extremely disposable, makes trends last MUCH shorter, and pretty much anyone who buys Zara/hm/topman etc have no identity other than the current trend they are riding.
Fashion is moving extremely fast right now because of it, trends and styles used to last a long time, with designers making pieces that are timeless, passionate, and full of character
Now trends are being made, fast fashion is ripping it off, and people are getting uninterested in the designs because they're so played out and worried about being 'unique', so now more and more trends are being made, overdone, rehased into fast fashion, then quickly dead.
It's also super wasteful because its so focused on following trends and pushing new ones that it makes people just throw away their shit and want to buy new stuff
It just devalues fashion in general, I'd never trust a brand that doesn't have a solid image or direction for itself. You can see every end of the spectrum with those fast fashion brands, from normie Cali shit to long line earth tone tees and drop crotches lol

It's important to remember that on the 4chins, post immediately, post often, and post terribly.
>>11284900
You seem to have nailed that on the head man, good on you
>>11284908
Yet i've completely figured out why everyone's so assblasted on this shit board within 30 posts
based zara, our guys, infuriating the fashionfag
>>11284737
I agree it makes trends spread fast and move on but they don't sell just current hottest trend. At least here (yuroop) they sell usually quite diverse styles. You probably just see their facade where they push trendiest shit but behind there is lot of other shit. Once again I'm not saying they are original or anything but you seem to have notion that all they have is current trend.
If you are careful with what you buy and go for just basics and dyi/modify yourself I think you're fine but whatever I'm biased poor pleb.
>>11284922
So, explain why this is a good thing though. Do you just like seeing shitty people be mad? The only type of person that'd legit get mad at other people copying their style is a shitty person anyways
So I can understand why you think what Zara does is a good thing, but it also isn't. If you really cared about the quality of fashion as an art and form of self expression, then you'd understand, or at least see where I'd be coming from
If you really don't care about fashion then yea, I feel u
>>11284934
>Do you just like seeing shitty people be mad?
Fuck yes, seeing people on 4chan get mad is the best.
Everyone on this cesspool deserves to be furious.
I don't give a fuck about fashion, It's just a random coincidence i'm on your board
I'm just happy as fuck to see you getting BLOWN THE FUCK OUT by based Zara
>>11284935
btw cesspool = 4chan, not merely /fa/
>>11284923
Yeah, I said that at the end that Zara is very diverse. I didn't expand on that though, because to be honest getting basics and diying everything is perfectly fine because 1. You can't go wrong with basics from there. I wear skinnies from topman, I can't afford high end clothes either and 2. You're making it your own, so you're not really following trends and you're experiencing and having fun with fashion yourself
>>11284935
I wouldn't say Zara is BLOWING THE FUCK OUT of anything, it's making Instagram tier fuccbois stay on their toes and shit. People who like fashion as a hobby and stuff aren't really affected by Zara and fast fashion, but what fast fashion really affects is the environment. Fashion is second to cars in leading the world in pollution
>>11284955
You aren't getting out of this one this easily kid
It's painfully obvious that /fa/ does several things
>follows meme trends from a fashion designers SIMPLY BECAUSE NORMIES CAN'T BUY THEM
>literally ALL OF /fa/ CULTURE IS BASED ON THE EXCLUSIVITY OF A TREND, SO NORMAL PEOPLE CAN'T BUY IT AT B&M STORES, OR IF THEY CAN THEY'RE SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OR MORE
>as a correlary, as a result of overpaying for clothes then attempts to justify them by saying "heh i paid 500x more but anything else is low quality"
What's the end result?
What's the achielle's heel of this meme?
Z A R A

take meme fashion trend
make it at a reasonable price
blow the fuck out of everyone ordering through boutques and other "elite" avenues by letting john q public buy it at a B&M
the end result is the eternal, and REOCCURING assdevestation of /fa/
every new trend
every new meme
will be seen, made, and sold by zara.
the palewave trend, the biggest in fashion currently, is just the latest victim
move on if you want, but zara lurks right behind you

>palewave is the biggest fashion tend
Dumbie
Most people here ogle over shit like SLP, rick owens, raf, damir doma, Ann d and shit
Zara doesn't emulate that type of stuff. They never will, and when they have its never been picked up by normies
People don't buy high quality stuff JUST because Normie's can't afford it. They buy it because its made with excellent quality materials (unlike Zara) and they know it'll retain its value, maybe even increase, and they'll keep it forever. Like I've said in my previous posts, they've found their own style, decide to stick with it, unlike Zara type stuff where it's just tend hopping
That's why they don't get affected by it
So yea nice try memer but still mostly normies who follow trends and don't have a definite style for themselves are affected
>>11284994

It usually ends up looking like ass, never living up to the standards of the original. It's only made to look decent by good looking models or mannequins, that means the average consumer/the targeted buyer will not look good in it.

>>11287169
yeah I guess that zara just miraculously stumbled upon the exact same color pallets for 4 different c/w and exact same camo pattern a year exactly after valentino did. amazing~!
>fashion reps
>just because there is worse cancer means that lesser cancer is okay

>unironically defending kanye west and valentino, two of the shittiest brands in fashion atm
>>11287170
the zara one is equally dark, just light reflection, tones are virtually identical
nah no fit, but i wear mostly SLP permanent collection and valentino
>>11287189
>valentino
>shitty
hehe woo hoo anon ur really going all out with ur bait can tonight XddDDD!!!!
>>11287167
because u can't patent general patterns u weirdo
>>11287185
it being a year after makes it especially barely copying, if anything zara is the best place to shop cuz u can get a ton of different styles for an affordable price
>>11287198
prove it, also ones a bomber ones not. just because they both used black camo doesn't make it copying fucking tons of designers use black camo TONS.
>>11287198
its obvious how godlike valentino is since zara seems to steal their designs the most out of all
>>11287205
still reflection but this shows it better, not quite as dark but still tonal black camouflage on a jacket, given that camouflage is one of valentino's staple
>>11287209
i love valentino
>>11287198
valentino is just another luxury brand gone to shit after its creative director left/died
belongs in the trash with current mcqueen, helmut lang etc.
>>11287218
helmut lang still makes great casual luxury pieces
alexander mcqueen still make gorgeous pieces, did you see Legendary Creatures? Love it.
pic: zara rips of celine
valentino's new Camobutterfly is fucking beautiful, love the aesthetic in the newest collection
literally just pulling these from zara's front page of each category, they're so fucking blatant I want to cry

Zara is only cancer because copyright laws stop them from doing proper bootlegs, forcing them to ruin the designs/fit with tasteless adjustments. If they were able to do 1:1 - visually, obviously not in reality - they would have a much more interesting influence on the fashion industry. Hard to predict, but I think it could easily be chemo, not cancer - it would devalue labels whose appeal relies primarily on signal value, over ethos, construction, silhouette, etc completely undermining the hype-based "designer streetwear" market.
Taking the rhetoric of them "stealing" designs is silly and anachronistic. Most the designs they "steal" are re-appropiated bootlegs themselves. You're a shit trip.
>>11287231
You'll get over it once you find out most people don't care.
>>11287226
good on you for having no appreciation for the integrity and ethos of a brand, and supporting talentless hacks who have to steal and piggyback off the work and legacy of others in order to succeed
>>11287232
But that's the thing. They take designs that talented, amazing people spend months preparing, mutilate them, destroy the construction and downgrade the materials to garbage, then release them at dollar store prices to the masses. ZARA does this habitually, they have no vision themselves. They're leeches, parasitic and toxic. They contribute absolutely nothing to fashion aside from devaluing designs and speeding up the fashion cycle, which is bad in its own right. There is literally nothing good that ZARA, Topshop, H&M, Forever 21 bring to the table.
>>11287238
Well anon, I happen to like their designs. If you don't, that's okay. I have a lot of Helmut Lang and a few Alexander McQueen pieces, I love them all. Great quality, great design.
>>11287226
>the guy who spend 2 hours defending slp, yeezy, and other mass market trash on the internet is also a fan of theory helmut and burtonshit

you literally cant make this shit up
>>11287243
hilarious how you have such a passion against zara ripping off the work of other designers yet you couldnt care less about someone stealing another persons brand name and life work for monetary gain and popularity
>>11287242

you realize thats literally what theory are doing to helmut right? the only difference is youre paying 1000s of dollars for made in china ripoff crap while zara customers are paying 1/10 that
I don't understand why people are upset. If I roll up wearing the SLP jacket and a pleb walks past me wearing the Zara equivalent, it makes me feel better if anything, not worse or 'assblasted'. I giggle to myself when I see someone wearing a Rick outfit from Zara when I'm in my ramones and Rick blazer. Come on people, if anything it should force the real designers to improve their quality and means of production. Yes,there are massive problems with mass market fast fashion but plebs wearing the same thing as you isn't one.
>>11285044
Post one of your fits to see if you look better than /fa/ then...
"omg i identify with fashion zara sucks crap!!!"
>>11287160
when your mum takes you shopping at 8 but you gotta conquer germania at 9
the thing is though, you can tell who is and isnt wearing zara, especially from quality alone.
Perhaps its also a reflection on the elitism of high end fast fashion. Perhaps if you sold at cheaper and employed more you could get a different name for yourself, especially since zara isnt actually competing with high end brands, since no one that shops at one shops at the other
hows ZARA quality compared to H&M? i got stuff from H&M that ive been wearing for 3+ years, yet people shit on H&M for their lack of durability
>>11287859
Worse.
>>11287859
i have stuf from hm for 3+years too xD
>>11287859
coming from someone who shops a shitton at h&m because of a really shitty budget it's literally an item to item basis
some stuff will hold forever, other stuff gets fucked the first time you wash them
some stuff just starts getting a shitty fit after half a year or so
h&m has a larger selection of items that'll go bad after the first wash, but barring that they're like everyone else
meanwhile nothing i've bought at zara has really broken ever
>>11287885
thanks mate for a proper response. guess i'll stick with H&M since it fits better and is cheaper
>>11287859
The "it will destroy itself within months" is a fallacy. But its true that the mats and cuts sold by H&M and Zara are nothing special, that's it.
I prefer saving for higher end fashion because I own a lot of fast fashion already and half of my stuffed wardrobe is just there being useless.
>>11287231
You remind me of an unbearable Instagram faggot who goes on about how much they love fashion, acts like an utter elitist yet cannot afford any of it. Post fit or just fuck off and drop your shitty trip.
Stop getting mad at dumb stuff. Come on guys.
>>11287859
It's because people conflate durability alone and quality.
Durability is just one aspect of that, and you can have a quality item without it being particularly durable.
And yeah, I've found some perfectly durable stuff from h&m. It might not be the best quality (some of the seam finishing is off, and the weight of the cottons isn't great, and the actual fabrics themselves are a lot of synthetics and blends, which aren't bad on their own, but often aren't the best choice for that particular item)
I've found Zara comparable in the questionable fabric choices and finishing, worse in durability but better in other aspects of construction outside of finishing.
>>11283936
Tbh i've have a shirt from zara and it has been fine since 2 years ago..
>>11288253
I mean like the quality is kay. It's so random that u ppl say that it lasts only couple of months??
I honestly don't care. Zara has some nice shirts now and then -- though the sizing sucks.
If someone wants to buy from there, whatever: it's their money, not mine.
>>11286574
this lmao
>>11283871
Trash quality
Can't we just ban everyone who brings up the trashy inditex labels?
They are all just copy popular designs in super rubbish quality.
Nothing /fa/ related IMHO
Its worse than aliexpress chinklet knockoffs in terms of quality.
Its also lazy as fuck, its like eating at subway everyday because it seems healthy/cheap with all the brown bread, salad etc, but deep down you know your a horrible piece of shit who could have with a small bit of research make lovely, nutricious meals.
>>11283871
The consensus is that it's cheap construction, ripping off designer trends, and is priced pretty terribly for what you get.
I know most here would rather save up for something legit, and so would I the vast majority of the time.
I still stop in during summer to pick up a few tops (<$20) that I'll wear for like one season
>>11288720
The only one I see brought up enough to cause annoyance is Zara though.
Occasionally some of the other in cop or not threads, but it's a legit question if someone isn't aware of the brand in that thread so it wouldn't be worth pulling it there
>>11283968
The Zara one looks better.
Yeezy's looks like shit
>>11287905
>But its true that the mats and cuts sold by H&M and Zara are nothing special, that's it.
Well, that's quite obvious it won't be near quality of items that cost 10x-100x that much. Fuck I copped nice sweaters in H&M for 7$ in sale.
>>11283931
>>11283968
>>11283976
reminder that this is the kind of people who give you shit for wearing cheap clothes
>>11284005
if this is your reason then you are really the most pathetic person I've seen on all of 4chan
more pathetic than pigfuck and elliot rodger
>>11284096
>not to mention it has more popularity that the one made by the actual original designer who thought up the idea in the first place
yeah I'm sure if the shit zara is doing became illegal everyone and their gran would start caring about designers and spending a month's salary on clothes
>>11284005
This has to be bait
>>11283908
It's actually the other way around, poor or stupid people care about expensive labels, the rest of use care about quality & looks. A name alone is not enough to warant a retarded pricetag, especially considering the quality is not proportionally better, it's barely a step above most of the time.
>>11284852
This.
Being a brandfag is the most un-effay thing you can do.
>>11284381
oh shit
this is how you can tell the high majority of /fa/ doesn't associate themselves with people who even have the slightest interest in clothes/fashion. no one really cares if you shop there, it's not a big deal. just avoid their shameless direct copies
now if your entire wardrobe is from zara that's a whole other story (don't do it)
>>11287247
DRAG HIM
>>11289528
I feel like half of the Zara hate on here is a weird hangover from the Menswear days, when quality and durability were bandied about constantly because heritage was the thing.
Now that the menswear thing has been dead here since about 2011 but the "quality" circle jerk is going strong it gets applied weirdly where it's not really necessary and fast fashion stores get pounced upon as the devil because it's an easy place to start.
When raw denim and durability were a focus it made sense, when Rick took over and durability could no longer be claimed from that, they had to switch from praising the ideal to ripping on the not ideal, so "Zara/H&M will fall apart in 1-3 washes" became a mantra.
>>11289548
Did you not read the thread? And how foes quality not matter?
>>11289571
Did you not read my post?
The "quality" circle jerk.
ie. some guy wants a cheap basic t-shirt and h&m gets shat on because of the terrible quality.
Really if someone just wants an undershirt to sweat on it's not relevant, but it gets pushed into every situation now because people feel like they need to mention it even though it's a remnant from an earlier situation on /fa/ that hasn't left even when the situation it applied to has. Happens constantly now.
