The days of 50s clothing fashion may be near, as clean and weird seems to be popping up in some cities. As far as AA pricing, a little search on google will net you some wholesale offerings. Just my 2 cents. This article was interesting. The days of 50s clothing fashion may be near, as clean and weird seems to be popping up in some cities.

Come on, we had new musical instruments in the synthesizers, vocoders, drum machines, and keyboards of the eighties - totally new music emerged! Fashion was fantastic, but everyone thinks it was all tight and bright lameness. What about punk, new wave, goth, etc? Neon is just another colour, problem is people get excited and al to often abuse it. I also think it's ignorant to disregard an entire decade based on the people who made it awfully unfashionable. I'm sure the two-thousands will be remembered for lame, behind-the-times style choices like Ed Hardy, Lulu as casual wear as opposed to sport wear, bump-its, spray tans, dawgs, uggs, and everyone-has-5 tattoos-and-8-peircings culture. Let's focus on the good versus the lame. I can’t believe there’s no love for the eighties!

Some things were cool in the 80s. Others were not. I'm sure the 50s and 60s seemed cooler to you but segregation, jew hating, and female oppression were as common back then as the 57 Chevy.

The 80s are the worst decade of fashion, save perhaps the 90s. The 30s and 40s are definitely due for a comeback. Fedoras and slacks and excessive smoking are far more fashionable than neon pink jumpsuits. But that's just my opinion. Hilarious article.

Extending the contrast between the decades one should also note that there were still apparel manufacturing jobs in the U.S. in the 80's. Today, sad to say, AA stands alone in this regard. As to the price, you can always pick up cheaper stuff at the greatWALofchinaMART (I admit I shop there occasionally). But, comparing apples to apples, you will always pay up for style and quality which is what AA is all about. Add to that American-made and sweatshop free! I enjoyed the article very much.
