It's about status. If you can associate your brand with status, you can make people do anything.

- gumby 8y agoWe should really be teaching people to be confident in themselves but I suppose that makes them harder to manipulate and abuse.
- HenryBemis 8y agoI agree with gumby's comment, and also wanted to add that.. I can afford the most expensive clothes you can imagine. I really can. But since I was a teenager I always disliked paying someone £€$ in order to become their walking bilboard. I equally dislike when I give my car for service, and the garage sticks 1-2-3... stickers with their logo, without asking me. If they want advertising space, they should pay for it. My typical 'uniform' is jeans and some long-sleeve shirt, the ones you buy from Primark for £5 or £10. I have searched for similar items without logo and I can't find anyting decent. Even Patagonia sticks a logo. They can keep their brand to themselves. If Burberry makes a long-sleeve the way I want it, without any isnignia, and the quality matches the price, I will gladly cough up the £100 to buy it, because I know it will last me 10 years. Until then, I am keeping my money - my money. :)
- abrowne 8y agoDepends on the item, but I chose a Patagonia rain jacket partly because their logo is a stitched on tag I could easily remove while most other brands print their logo on.
- zemvpferreira 8y agoUniqlo my man. Or actual crafted clothing.
- daniel-cussen 8y agoI took the little crocodile off a Lacoste shirt once. Took fucking forever, it was stitched on super tight, but once you remove it it leaves no trace.

- HeadsUpHigh 8y agoIf I could afford the most expensive clothes I can imagine I would buy hand-made custom everything.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoHigher end clothing doesn’t have visible logos in my experience.
