I had to post in my old thread as I had another episode yesterday. My wife has a couple of gift cards for Banana Republic. Not our favorite store, but with gift cards, what can you do. We go into the store to be confronted by pants costing $130+. Where are they made? Almost everything in the store came from China, the Philippines, India, and Vietnam. I saw one sports jacket for $230. I can fly to NYC, go to Daffy's, find an Italian-made sports jacket, fly back to Boston, and still come in at under $230. Not that I'd do that, but could for the $230. What a joke, 99% of the store is for conditioned zombies.
I don't mind stuff being made in China or wherever, but don't charge me $230 for a sports jacket. Hell, with another $170 you can buy a b-stock Emotiva LPA-1 that weights 67 lbs!
