Yep, just the same as Buffalo London is from Elche in Spain, Fly London and Swear London are both Portuguese shoefactory owned brands. We get overwhelmed with this bollocks in the shoe trade.

How do you know this stuff? Is there anything left inside of you resembling shit facts about cats?
As authentic as that Hollister bullshit

I bought a superdry jacket in the new year sales a couple of years ago (I liked the cammo pattern) and was bitterly dissapointed to find that it did not keep me super dry and was in fact as waterproof as a tea bag.... utterly shit jackets
nail on the head.

I can't afford high street brands, my jacket is a supermarket brand.

I can't afford high street brands, that's why I have a more expensive brand but bought and lurked at in an online sale.
Yeah, yeah, I see what you're getting at.
I just think people that buy crap quality jackets for silly money just cos everyone else is buying the same crap are fucking stupid.

Definitely. High street surf/extreme sports clothing like O'neill, White Stuff & Quicksilver, designed for people who don't like to take risks can fuck off too.
Fucking Fat Face can do one too.

I actually quite like the look of them (minus the branding). But given they are literally everywhere you look now, the strange snobby part of my brain that I can't fathom won't let me buy one.

This is a constant pattern in fashion. A brand starts as a specialist technical supplier, and then uses that cachet to make money selling their name, through licensing to mass producers of day to day clothing. In time they water down their cachet, unless like Adidas and Nike they are able to spend a fortune sponsoring big name sports people or events to compensate for the fact that 95% of their customers wear them for non sporting use.
Other brands skip the whole authentic stage and just go for a sporty or outdoor "style" .
Superdry have faked up an "imported from Tokyo" heritage.

Cachet. Sorry.

I live in rural Scotland, I'm allowed to wear Berghaus, Barbour and any other outdoor gear I like
The berghaus is one of my gardening jackets but I wore it more the end of the 90s(before I got my Barbour)

When it is Japanese, it's more often than not spelt wrong or grammatically incorrect.
How hard would it be to employ a proof reader? They might even get a fighting chance at opening a shop in Japan.
It could be argued that it is revenge for bad 'engrish' on japanese products, but you would loose. English is mixed up in the Japanese language and pop culture quite a lot so "Let's hambuger" for instance can actually be meaningful.

No probs, I knew it was wrong, but SwiftKey insisted and I am not strong enough to fight it's power.

Isn't eschewing mass trends the very essence of snobbery?

It can be - you go on dissing people for buying cheap jackets earlier in the thread. Are you proposing they go about naked to avoid sweatshop clothes?
