I dont understand why everyone seems to be wearing these shirts when the make is on about 40% of the guys i see walking around town

I mean, are people trying to look like sheep?

I've seen a lot of that stuff in USC and places like that but it seems like overpriced tat to me. It'd be more suited to JD Sports alongside their McKenzie chav range.

Some of it seems to want to be a G-Unit-gangsta-rap-type brand and other bits seem, like the denim, seem to want to be in the mod section with Fred Perry. Weird.

I'm quite happy to be totally confused about quite what a G-star RAW t-shirt is, in fact the only reason I clicked on the thread was my brain assembled it into GRAW t-shirt and I never thought everyone would wear one of those.

I only clicked on the thread because it might tell me what G-Star RAW is.

That and to ask if it's some kind of gay club thing.

Ok... I'm not hip and with it so will someone tell me what one of these t-shirts is? Their website was a typically artistic bunch of useless wank that didn't help me at all.

I am wearing a G-Star Raw Jeans at this very moment, but that's just because it makes me look like a sex-god. I wouldn't be caught dead in something with a big logo.

edit:
"Raw" is their jeans line that's not treated with anythign (bleach, pre-worn look, whatever).

Meh. I "heart" G-Star, because they're the only Jeans company I am aware of that are making jeans with a 38'' length.

Pff. If you were really that tall your posts would fill an entire thread.

Brits = dwarves, obviously.

No coincidence that G-Star is from the Netherlands, the European country with the tallest people.

We maybe short, but we're not completely obsessed with stone washed jeans and octagonal glasses.

Levi's do 36'' (in all length/width combinations), in case you don't know. They are mostly fine for me, but some models are too short even in 36.

G-Star are about 100 Eur here (70 quid), and depending n the model, I need 36 or 38.

Maybe you have opinions about g star raw because none of you freaks who comment about it can't afford gstar cloths and are scruffy pigs

It depends what you buy. Their clothes veer wildly between charver fuckface to handsome sex god.
