Ok, so the GAP "outlet" stores sell some items that don't appear to be sold in the normal, regular GAP stores.

Is it me, or is it actually impossible to shop "GAP outlet" online?

I don't really understand the whole "outlet" versus normal shops thing, but I just want a couple of pairs of cheap jeans that don't look like they've been painted on to me using blue Hammerite.

Outlets are all the old crap.

No they won't sell it to you online.

There is the US store if you use any kind of drop shipper

Or the european store which is way more expensive than the US outlet

Apologies if I'm mis-remembering but the BBC, a few weeks ago, covered this.

Turns out GAP are one the many retailers that produces lines specifically for their outlet stores. ie they are not discounted from RRP but made for that price point in the first place.

This is pretty similiar to TK Maxx who actually own all those labels you have never heard of that are mixed in with the usual branded goods.

I really don't mind who makes them, I just like their jeans because they have a 9" foot-opening, instead of the 9mm ones most ridiculous spray-on jeans seem to have these days. If you wear skinny jeans with size 12 feet, you look like a sodding clown.

I can't disagree.

I actually don't care where the jeans are from, as long as they've got a decent (around 9") foot-hole. But they don't seem to exist.

There is a GAP outlet literally downstairs from my flat, it’s great when they have their super sales 40% off their prices. Their hoodies are great for just throwing on to sit round the house in.
