I’ve always hated that fucking brand, especially when douchebros with multiple popped collars (yes, they used to do that) that faked a lisp in the early 2000s to try to get heterosexually laid wore that overpriced fake vintage shit like a uniform.

        A few years ago, they lost a lawsuit about how stores would make non-white employees work in the back while white employees got to work on the floor getting commissions.
