Things that are actually good quality in the USA are bizarrely enough often more expensive than in the UK

I could dress him very cheap from places such as Walmart but I'd rather not, thanks, they're so poorly made, shrink terribly in the dryer and give him a rash 'cos of the horrible materials they use.. :eek:
From my point of view I hate the clothes here unless I'm prepared to spend a lot of money, there is no equivelant of places such as Next, M&S, Topshop etc etc, most shops either cater for teens or old farts, nothing in between. I have yet to find a decent pair of Jeans for less than $100, my last pair were $200.. :eek: I refuse to wear jeans that have tapered legs and a waist that sits just below my tits hence me spending a fortune... :mad:
