[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 408612, member: 4720"] No, I'm overestimating people (especially men). I, for example, have been wearing the same type of clothes since high school. Comfortable and functional. I've been "in fashion" twice, entirely by accident. Fashion just isn't a blip on my radar. I wear clothes until they disintegrate or shrink so much that I have to give them to my girlfriend. If I could [i]mend[/i] them, I would only lose the clothes that shrink, and I receive enough clothes as gifts to make up for those. Fashion is a banal concept, created by the fashion industry by making people fell bad about themselves unless they're wearing the "right" clothes. This is asinine. People in rural areas often have the same mindset as me on this, as do most men who work in a physical fashion for a living. While I guess J. Crew and the Gap wouldn't be going anywhere, Sears, for example, would have to drop its men's clothing department completely. And the market would definitely narrow for things like T-shirts and plain-old jeans and sweaters and such that never really go out of style. [/QUOTE]
