Good over priced crap anyway.

Not really...Brands like G Star will surely come down in price.

Hardly overpriced crap.

Do you know USC buy these jeans for like twenty quid a pop and they have the cheek to sell them for over £100. You get ripped off. Plus I hate G Star jeans, everyman and his dog wears these things, can no one think for themselves these days.

Clearly the dog can, finding a pair of G Star jeans for a dug is no mean feat:greengrin

Looks like Tom Hunter is using administration as a vehicle to get rid of loss making sites

Around 300 job losses, most of which will be part time staff

If all this is true how can they be going into Administration?

Seems like a great business model. By em cheap sell em with a huge mark up and evreyone and their dog wants them.
Something doesn't add up. :wink:

Gstar is pretty rank TBH.

I have 2 pairs of G-Star jeans, and they are ones that dont have it written all over the arse and legs.
I don't mind the jeans that dont totally advertise it, but the ones that do just look awful, and so many people wear it.

For the same price, you can get a pair of Diesels which are better quality and not everybody about Edinburgh will be wearing the same jeans as you.

Got myself a pair of Firetraps, and I havent seen one other person in them.


I've seen maybe one G-Star jacket I like, and it only has one yellow G-Star tag on it, just hate the over advertising the brand. :grr:

I have 4 pairs of Rocawear jeans and they are quite simply the best I have ever owned (I did have 5 pairs but I had to chuck my favourite pair out last month after 3 years because they we're starting to fall apart from overuse :grr:) and one of the best things about them is that I haven't seen anybody else wearing them because I bought them in america unlike the g-stars and evisu that cost the same money but are everywhere you look being worn by neds and jakies.

I love Diesel stuff, they're pretty much the only jeans I'll buy.:agree:

Problem with G-Star jeans is that a lot of people who wear them seem to think that they automatically make them look good. Doesn't matter how awfully the shoes go with them, or how badly they fit that person - it's like all the fashion does and don't go completely out the window, just because they spent £100 on a pair of jeans. More often that not, they look like idiots.

I recently got a pair of Superdry jeans that are very good quality, as well as a pair of Jack&Jones jeans which are really smart. The best pair I've had in quite a while though, believe it or not, were a pair from Topman. They fitted really well and looked awesome - just a pity everything from there is rubbish quality, as they ripped right up the middle after a few months.

Are they still accepting gift vouchers in USC?

[Lucius Apuleius]

I think it depends on whether they are USC vouchers. Don't see them accepting any Zavvi ones somehow.

That's a disappointing piece of news.

So they're still accepting USC vouchers in USC then?

[Lucius Apuleius]

Don't know mate. Was being supercillious. :greengrin

[Danderhall Hibs]

The answeis yes they are accepting the vouchers. Although I also believe the shop has been "saved" - according to one of the staff in store.

Its hilarious when you see young lads 16-17 with there G Star jeans on and they look about 3 sizes too big for their wee skinny legs and the erkey is down to their knees.

Probably got them in the sales though :faf:

Being honest, I wear my jeans like that purely because I find it comfy. I hate my jeans right up at my waist for some reason, I always buy them so they hang low, so the back of mine pretty much rip all the time :greengrin

I bought a £70 pair of trainers and a £100 RL jacket and my GF called me a tramp last night. :grr:
