Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
LOL I never had them that ridiculous actually - I think like 26" or something. I did hang on to some of the nicer ones for awhile but eventually realized the old wasteline probably isn't ever coming back. A friend did carry on wearing them for some time and frankly looked really silly doing it.
One interesting thing about those clothes was many of them were quite well made - as they should be for the sort of niche market premium prices. I guess technically they came from skaters so that's probably part of it too, not shredding constantly in falls now that I think about it....
There was a time that basically the mall chains had good stuff. Like Gap, American Eagle or whatever, etc. Now it's all just junk.
Even finding a good basic polo shirt is now a gigantic PITA. It's like FFS you don't have to keep the price at 12 bucks or whatever. (Granted I got Target ones for years till they cheaped out, and I sure wouldn't shop there now anyway....)
