I didn't know that they did that! I do see a lot of teens and young adults
wearing their stuff and to me it doesn't look all that great. People get
sold on a name. I know how to look for quality in clothes. There was a
time when my daughter wanted to wear Old Navy stuff. Yes, their stuff is
cheap. But it's also cheaply made and it doesn't wash well. I did let her
have some of it but it had to be clearance stuff and only a few pieces
because I knew that it wouldn't last. And after seeing how it washed up,
she never asked for it again.
