I’ve never really understood the appeal of paying more for a shirt just because it has a brand like Nike or Adidas or something with another brand that sells a product printed across it when a plain, unbranded one costs less.
If you think about it, walking around wearing a giant logo is basically acting as a walking billboard for that company. Usually, if a company wants to advertise on a billboard, they have to pay for the space. But with branded clothes, people not only provide the advertising space for free, they actually pay extra for the privilege.
It feels a bit backwards to me. For those of you who prefer branded clothing, what makes it worth the extra cost for you?
Edit: I’m not speaking of sports equipment. Just clothing you would wear to the movies, the store, etc.
I like dickies for socks and belts I used to wear carthartt jeans and light jackets back in 2011 but they got expensive.
I live from gildan to champion I stopped wearing Nike because fashion clothes suck I switched entirely to function clothes and those are durable and last long. On average, I wear gildan work shirts, wrangler jeans and fitville non slip leather sneakers, fruit of the loom underwear and dickies socks and belt. Eyebuydirect glasses and China brand shorts, if I’m wearing shorts and sweaters are the toughest thing to find that will last long.
