Represent fashion clothing

[Wacky Racer]

What's the big deal with this?

First saw a guy wearing a Tee shirt in Harrogate about a year ago, I thought to myself that's a strange name, then forgot about it.

The last few months seen several other guys (Mainly 20/35 age group) wearing the gear,

Went for a mooch on the website and it seems a bit overpriced to me, although I mainly shop at Primark or Matalan

Am I missing something?

It's pretty common with young men around here and the young ladies seem to go for "White Fox".

I think you've gone old.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

"Tee Shirt". Old codger

I've seen that 'represent' branded stuff too - usually scrawled across the clothing of some young street scrote.

I've not thought too much more on it to be honest - just the latest ste the younger characters are paying over the odds for I guess.

It's just crap

The desirability of clothing being based on what is written on it, rather than its quality/fit/technical attributes is beyond my comprehension

Blue plain good quality warm hoody from Uniqlo = £50

Blue low quality hoody with ‘Stussy’ written on it = £500

I'll take that

The shirts and hoodies are of a decent quality along the lines of other "mildly elevated" brands like All Saints but ultimately they're just generic items made in the same places and then printed to suit.

You could pick similar up in M&S without a print for £25 or hand over £300 - £700 for one printed with the name of a "luxury" designer, Represent, Fear of God Essentials etc sort of fill a space between, mildly aspirational but more affordable.

They've done brilliantly to get so many people on board.
