Decline in hat sales

Idealization is a psychoanalytic term for a concentrated libidinal investment in an object that is thus exalted and overvalued.

It can happen with cars, politicians, sports teams, Johny Depp, and hats. Why not t-shirts?

You all enjoy and value hats.....someone else enjoys and values designer clothes...


I somehow -doubt- there is a group of designer clothes lovers out there on a message board knocking hat wearers who spend too much on hats.

So why waste your time worrying and complaining about what -others- value...?

because those people are just dumb. :D

Besides, what else would you have us do? This is the internet - the place where the world comes to whine.

Incidentally, the place you're looking for is styleforum.net.

Actually I believe I've been pretty evenhanded in making fun of both. I am happy that there are expensive things and people who can afford them.

But really, "designer clothes"?

If I have time to go on the internet and talk about hats and look at pictures of hats and guys wearing hats, then I definitely have time to make fun of some "designer" selling a t-shirt for $750, and the people who would buy said t-shirt.

That Hermes T-Shirt is more expensive than my best suit...

Then again, I'm basically poor... so...

The fellas were just celebrating human nature, that's all. ;)

If I had Bill Gates's money, I still wouldn't dream of handing out that kind of dough for a T shirt unless it were for a charitable cause, and that goes for the Hermes hats too. I hear the ladies love to come home from Paris with a Hermes scarf. I don't even want to think what they pay for those. Any sensible person knows those products are no better than something you could pick up for a fraction of the price. But to some, a name like Hermes, Prada, etc. is worth paying for.
I'm a JC Penny, Sears shopper. When I splurge I go to Nordstroms but mostly I shop at St. Vincent de Paul's, the Goodwill and the flea market. Someday I may even find a Hermes T shirt there, ¿Quién sabe? lol

Wow!:eek: That's alot of money for a T-shirt. While I suppose I could pick one up at the Hermes in Denver's swanky Cherry Creek, I think I'll just wait until it shows up at my local Good Will thrift store! :D

I believe wich all store hats are selling more than other times, a single reason. We are more than other times, in our land there are factories 2 or 3 wich are producing more than 900 000 hats per year each one and there are too much little factories in whole land. Some regions have own styles.
