I've got a mate who works in NY and is coming back in september for a visit.  Great i'll get her to get me some cheap clothing!

...so i mentioned i can get some A&F shit to my brother and he laughed at me and called me all sorts of mildly insulting shit...what am i missing? Although he said AE was alright.  I thought these 3 brands were okay in American culture? What am i missing?!

Im just after some shorts and jeans....and i was in the A&F store in London today...£90 for a pair of jeans....fuck that.

what am i missing?!!! What do you suggest?!

edit

i should add apart from AF no one really knows of AE and Hollister.  You cultural perception of them doesn't map to the UK.  I could easily get way of looking like a douche nozzle.

Yea he summed it up pretty well.

Those brands are acceptable in American culture...but everyone laughs at you when you're not looking.

You can get clothing of equal or better quality at other stores that won't charge you an ungodly amount of money.

Oh, and get forget to add Aeropostal as another store that sells overpriced crappy clothing.

The stores are fine, clothes are clothes.  The ones that hate like that probably:

a) are too fat to properly fit the clothes
b) cannot afford the clothes
c) wear wal-mart shoes and polos.

I prefer AE and Aeropostale to AF (AF is overpriced as shit) but Abercrombie makes the better jeans of the three, IMO.  The clothes are priced more than the walmart or Target stuff, but it is of better quality and design.

yeah I've got some carhartt T's.  Not that big over here, tends to be for the skateboarders but you don't find many of those either.

If clothes are clothes, then what's the point of spending rediculous amounts of money when you can get cheaper non-brand clothing that looks just as fine with no difference in quality?

They're expensive clothes where you're paying for the brand and "fashion" (ripped/acid wash jeans?) not the quality. They are popular with rich suburban youth.

Wonderfully normal body, you'll have to trust me on that though, my mom has tried to push the clothes on me, and I wear the most respectable clothes I can find from places like Kohl's.

I wouldn't bother myself, I just get £12 jeans from this place called petroleum thats relatively near me, good quality,  my last pair laster over a year before getting the standard 2 inch knee holes in them.

decent value > pointless snobbery.

I don't pwn anything of those brands and I'm proud of it. I can get clothes of the same quality for much cheaper if I don't buy shitty brands like those.
