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

Targets clothes aren't bad but again for the decent quality stuff it ain't cheap, the last pair of shorts I bought him were about $18, again no more expensive than Next. 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..
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.. I refuse to wear jeans that have tapered legs and a waist that sits just below my tits hence me spending a fortune...
