Excuse the bitter pimple-faced D&D fanatics!

Aeropastale, American Outpost (may have gone out of business), Holister, and there's one more that you always see the symbol "A | X" or something...it has slipped my mind

I have found Old Navy's clothing to be lower quality, especially in terms of T-shirts, but there is a difference between their $4 sale shirts and the outragesouly expensives shirts elsewhere

Personally, I like Polo stuff

Armani Exchange?

I was going to mention Aeropostle and Hollister, but everyone already has.

Lol, thank you. Just go to Wal-Mart, buy a shirt and some pants or whatever it is that you want, and viola! Hell, you can take some scissors out and cut up the edges a little bit to give it that worn look that they try to sell if you like as well.

You're right...I never shopped there but I always saw people wearing the t-shirts with that symbol on them and thought it was something like American Exchange....Oh well. You win some and you lose some!

There really is a difference in comfort between a $10 polo from Walmart and a $30-$40 polo from American Eagle.

Marshalls, T J Max or whatever the discount clothing store is in your area. Seriously, why go to those overpriced stores for the same things you can get for much cheaper?

Sears polos are $30 each. I've got about 10 of them. They're great.

Aeropostale worked out as far as cargo pants goes. I didn't like the shirts there.

I'll usually get stuff at the Gap, Hollister, or American Eagle when it's on sale.

I'm surprised none of you mentioned Fossil. I use to work there and the clothes there are way cheaper then the clothes at Abercombie. Even better, they sell nice watches too. I miss working there, it was mad fun until a homosexual manager came along and started being bias and only hiring people who looked like "the abercombie and fitch style" over people that were well better qualified for the job. JESUS I hated that ass hole.

I went in a Hollister store for the first time today. Interesting place. Loud music (Blink 182 I think) being played on the speakers, dimly lit except for spotlights on clothing racks, and a waiting area where a bunch of people were reading magazines. Guess they've taken the idea of selling an image and extended it to an entire store.

express men is where about 75% of my clothes come from. Most of my daily wear comes from the store.
The rest come from Macy's or some other stores, I get my Kenneth Cole pants from Nordstrom Rack for only about $40 each, which is pretty good. Always get underwear/t-shirts/socks at Kohl's.

American Eagle online clearance. 50-70% off, plus whatever coupons you can find. Cheaper than Old Navy and better stuff too. The stuff you buy online isn't frayed at the edges.
