No one actually cares what you are wearing... My wife sees me everyday and probably cant tell me what I was wearing yesterday... Hell, I don't even remember.
I don't think the comparison is meant to be between Costco and Walmart, but between Costco and name brand clothing stores. For those of us who've been buying regular inexpensive clothes from department stores our whole lives, there isn't really a joke there.
I purposely buy stocks as thin as I can get em. My feet get so hot especially in the summer. Hanes X-Temp, uncushioned. They're so thin you can see through them. The only kind I buy
Whatâs wrong with supermarket shirts and pants? Theyâre so good. Too sad the superfacial culture made most of the people turn to expensive shit with same quality
I just watched anjelah johnson-reyes' latest special and she mentions she's at the age where she's about to buy her clothes at the Same place she gets groceries đđ
Meh. I hit my mid 40âs and began growing my hair out, wearing loud Hawaiian shirts and expensive shoes. Spent most of my life being invisible to fit in. Boring. This is my true IDGAF.
Costco is a one stop shopping mega convenience, it was only a matter of time before we give up on ourselves and stop going to the mall to keep up appearances
The Costco I used to go to near down in south Brooklyn was also crazy with traffic. Granted I didn't drive there, but the people who did? My condolences.
People are like âoh noes they donât care about our opinionâ and yes, thatâs exactly it. I give zero fucks about your opinion, tastes, or shopping habits. Fuck off. I have a life to live. Go away.
See, I always cared about fitting my own aesthetic but never had the money or time to really shop. I also HATE shopping. But the older I get, the more I go "fuck that I'm gonna actually take the time to get something I enjoy." I actually match now.
If I were getting a little richer, instead of poorer, I would likely do the same. I hate shopping too, mostly because the things I can afford are crap. But there is something about a sharp dressed man.
God I feel the "afford" thing. I luckily found a suuuuper cheap store here where they occasionally cycle clothes that are about my style through. By "cheap" I mean like 2 euro t-shirts of decent make, pants under 10, stuff like that. Just gotta double-check the fuckers include pockets. REAL pockets.
I'm fairly certain no one is ever going to look at me and think "Well, that's some specimen of a middle aged, chubby, graying, dream boat. If not for those Costco pants, I would like to get to know him better."...
I have the opposite issue, at 4'11" it's either petite jeans, which have tight ankles which I hate. Or I get to walk on 6 inches of extra pants. Full length skirt, drags the floor. I have to roll pretty much everything multiple times at the waist for a proper fit. I wish I could afford a tailor, and sewing was the one class I failed in school. Lol
Go see a tailor. I couldn't afford it but maybe you can. They make more than just suits. Even if you got one outfit a year, it might make you feel better about your style.
Have you tried becoming a professional actor? My 6'10" friend would always get offers to buy his costumes for super cheap (or for free) at the end of a show run because the costume dept didn't want to keep them.
FWIW my super tall husband shopped around online and eventually found an online shop specifically for giants that fit him decently and had good styles. He tends to buy everything there now.
I bought a pair of black jeans and they were just too baggy. I'm not a skinny jeans guy but I like my pants to be slim and slightly tapered. I'm very particular about pants
When I find them I grab whatever Lucky brand I can. Just found long sleeve shirts, no logo, soft as fuck and like $12. Lucky website would have them for like 40, and a $140 pair of jeans was $25
Not sure why you're getting down voted but I got a pair of lucky jeans from Costco and they were great, much cheaper than buying directly from the actual store
They do have legitimately some of the best olive oil easily found in the US. That said, their clothes seem slightly higher than average grade, and the prices are reasonable.
Yeah, this joke kind of falls flat with me. Really, if you want to talk about letting your ego go shop at Goodwill, though I've still found good quality clothing in basically new condition there.
Man, I go to our local thrifts to get the high end stuff. Just off the top of my head I got a $1500 cashmere overcoat for $50, $500 dress shoes for $20, and just today I found a $350 7 fold tie for $10. Honestly, I thrift because I can find higher quality stuff than I could usually afford.
yeah if you want designer shit check up the goodwills near rich neighborhoods. i worked at one once and saw all kinds of extremely nice clothes and stuff
Honestly, I find the in your face labeling to be tacky. I want the item to stand on it's own in terms of style and quality of materials. So often it seems like the ONLY thing many of these brands have going for them is the logo.
Brand names were flogged by upper crust and entertainment industry influencers even back in my younger days; 50s and 60s. The current crop are just more connected and less educated but they still need an identifiable brand name. Imo, there are no new jobs, just new people trying the same old spoofs.
I have a Costco policy from when I first got my membership many years ago.... I've had $70 polos that I've worn less that only lasted a year... the Kirkland one still looks practically like new.
Okay but polo's are shit after like 1 use. Put them in the wash and you NEVER get the fucking collar totally straight again. It's like the polo guys said "hey, how can we engineer an iron-resistant collar and make at least 50% of these things out of some weird uncomfortable material?"
Yeah I stopped using softener a while ago when I heard all it does is add chemicals to clothes. Heard a ball of aluminum foil can reduce static but haven't tried it

That's Seoul you can't honestly think it would be the same in the states, I assure you it isn't.

The English Laundry brand Costco sells has some really nice pants (even if you ignored that they cost under $20)

Got some great lucky brand jeans at Costco for only $10 a pair. Also has great Spyder gear too.

This. Wearing them right now. Also stretchy. Most comfortable simply because I forget Iâm wearing them.

True. I have 6 pair of them. I guess you could say I'm very spiritual, enlightened even.

We have Costco? Where?
hnngh
They wear away fast in the crotch. There are some good brands at Costco though, bought some banana republic pants for $20.
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
Some of the older thinner fabric ones had that issue, but lately they mostly have stuff closer to denim weight, but much nicer feeling.
NachoPete
Have you tried powdering your balls so that you don't scratch them so much?

It's the thighs brushing together that causes pilling of the fabric close to the crotch.

Yeah they have name brands too. Every time this gets posted, I'm like "this person never shopped at costco"

Costco has the best t-shirts that aren't absolute ass quality. Like $10 each and I still have a bunch after like 6 years.

The problem is you can't count on it being there again in three years when you've destroyed the clothing, so you better not like any of them too much.

Y'all. This is not about the quality. Please understand that. The comments below.... And above.... This is about giving up on trying to look good

Disagree - Costco may be a better employer, but Sams has got good stuff too - I have both memberships in Texas
SoftKleenex
I hear Sam's is like the Walmart equivalent? I wouldn't know I haven't been to a Sam's

It is. The Sam in question is Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart.

That makes a lot more sense now
MonStar1203
From what I remember Kirkland (Costco brand) use the same factories as big box stores/brands, so I would assume the same would go for clothing? https://moneywise.com/life/lifestyle/the-big-brands-behind-costcos-kirkland-signature-items
SirenBrick
Their jeans last about 5x longer than other box store jeans (And 100x longer than walmart ones), so they must have higher QC standards in general.

Flannel is a mid layer, not an outer layer. I wouldn't expect it to act like a windbreaker.

Man, I go to our local thrifts to get the high end stuff. Just off the top of my head I got a $1500 cashmere overcoat for $50, $500 dress shoes for $20, and just today I found a $350 7 fold tie for $10. Honestly, I thrift because I can find higher quality stuff than I could usually afford.
iDrinkDrano
City Goodwill's have better options than Costco because people's fast fashion ends up there.

Also Costco and big box stores all tend to follow the same trends. You can find genuinely interesting items at thrift stores.

Internet influencers can't flog non name brands. They need a big showy label to shove into your face.
