I saw this in Neiman Marcus the other day. Very well-fitted, high quality cotton, the D+G name, whatever - but I wouldn't pay 175 dollars for it unless I had a LOT more spare change than I do now.

what a rip-off.


:D

Meh, the shirt isn't even that good. And yeah, could probably be bought for 10 bucks anywhere else :/

... it's hideous.




Posted by TheSorrow

looks cheap whoever spends 175 dollars on this shirt is a ****ing idiot




Posted by Linko_16

It's not even new or interesting artwork... just an old picture of Mario any idiot could spruce up in Photoshop.

I have no patience for clothing that costs more than it's worth, but I never thought I'd have to say that about a $175 piece-of-crap T-Shirt.

Quoting Ant: Meh, the shirt isn't even that good. And yeah, could probably be bought for 10 bucks anywhere else :/

I tried on the shirt myself, and I can discern quality clothing from cheap Target fare very well. You're never, ever going to pay 10 dollars for this shirt unless you find a stolen shirt on eBay, even printless.

That said, it's not even NEAR worth 175 dollars. It's worth 40 at the most. The quality was not over 100 dollars better than a 27 to 35 dollar Armani Exchange t-shirt, or a 20 dollar Express t-shirt. You're paying for the Dolce and Gabbana name, and that's it.

Way too much. I get shirts on ebay for under 20 and they fit good, feel good, and look good.

Amen..

A shirt is only a shirt, just as a duck is only a duck. I'd blow $175 on 'smack', before even considering on shelling it out to some yuppie brand name product.

I could silkscreen a better design than that, regardless of how good the shirt itself is. Buying that is like putting on a flag that says either "I'm a total retard!" or "I've got no concept what a dollar is worth!"

OR "I'M A GIRL" AMIRIGHT.

Same here. I don't really care for particular brands, which is why I'll happily wear clothes from Asda.

At the most I'd pay $60, only because I've never seen the creamy color associated with nerds and it's **** hard to find a Mario shirt, even in Hot Topic. The words on the bottom of Mario "cheapen" the value of that hefty tag. I'm so tired of cheap black shirts.




Posted by Tyler Durden

I wouldn't pay a dime for any of that garbage. The jeans are too commonly metrosexual-ish [if even less considerably uglier], the shirt is an abomination to any Nintendo fan; let alone any fan of the Super Mario Bros. And those ridiculous ****ing shoes they have him wearing? I've seen golf shoes with more attitude.

Sadistic does have a point...what about nickle or a penny though!




Posted by Fate

Take away the Mario design and you've got a pretty nice outfit.

Even if the brand name is big and the fabric divine it looks like turd. Ive seen better video game tees in Hot Topic.

Real men don't wear "outfits".. We wear human skin and dead animal furs.

Whether of not it's a video game tee, is besides the point. As I have said before: A duck is a duck, and that whole ensemble is ****ing horrendously awful to the eyes.. I want to take a trip to the mall, vomit in my shoe, and kick the living **** out of the nearest yuppie..

huh? Mario shirts are everywhere!



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

srsly. You're obviously not looking at all if you can't find a Mario shirt.

Even ****ing Wal-Mart sells Mario-branded apparel now. Where have you been, Fate? Get with the times. No one shops at Hot Topic for their gaming needs, [when did HT become a social hub for nerdlings?].




Posted by Lord of Spam

I like the fact that chances are anyone retarded enough to pay that much for that shirt has probably never owned an NES or SNES and would justbe wearing it because its cool.

Fashion brings out the truest fail in people.

Since being a nerd made you a freak, thus part of the "counterculture" which is oh so cool with today's teens. It's a way to be cool by being the farthest thing from cool.

And cotton.




Posted by Tyler Durden

[quote=Speedfreak]And cotton.

Now how could I forget the cotton? Something has to blend well with bunny fur, right?

I laughed, as a bunch of emo kids and wannabe-rockers stood in front of Hot Topic, here in Fayetteville [nearly crying their eyes out]. After it had burned it's way to the foundations of the mall floors. Yeah, just goes to show you, if you're going to blare ****ty-*** techno music, better have a better audio 'guy' hook it up for you.. 'Cause I mean, like their stereo totally caught the entire store on fire. It was almost like housing the 4th of July in Halloween Town, simply brilliant.

You should agree with him more. I'd never buy that, and I could if I wanted to. Yuck.

I'll stick with my Tek Jansen Alpha Squad 7 t-shirt, thanks.
