[Help] Save me from SuperDry.

[Stat Brother]

It's happening and I'm scared.

As a fat middle-aged man obviously I'm, in part, target audience for the store.
Thankfully my loathing of telling everyone what clothes I'm wearing (and I assume my great head of hair) I've been able to give their stores a wide berth.

But now half of Stat Club Junior's are of an age where they'll at least look around SuperDry, naturally with my wallet close by, and sadly I'm now the owner of 3 items of SuperDry clothing. (not that you'd know that to look at them)


I need talking down before I decide a lime green hoodie with 'SuperDry Tokyo' emblazoned across the front and back, is what's missing from my wardrobe.

Get yourself a too-tight t-shirt with a weird embossed logo on it. Happily, you will find the back of the embossing has a lovely sticky rubber-type coating. Which adheres to the skin on anything except the coolest of days.

If you normally buy Medium my advice is buy XL in SuperDry ..... (from another old man)

 

[Springal]

The reason it is called SuperDry is that is what happens to women who see men wearing it.

I need to write:-

Laugh out loud.


Well played - thread closed.

This should help Stat:

EXPLOITED factory workers are paid as little as 28p an hour to make jackets
for trendy brand Superdry.
Garment checker Ashok Kumar, 32, is among those producing the firm’s jackets
at the Modelama factory in Gurgaon near New Delhi. The dad of one says it takes 30 workers an hour to make ten, with supervisors watching every move. He and wife Sharada live in a slum in a single 9ft square concrete room. They
cannot afford to keep their five-year-old son with them and he lives away
with family.
Payslips show Ashok earned 6,203 rupees (£61.82) for 27 days in July, that’s
28p an hour for an eight-hour day, although he says he often works up to 16
hours to meet targets.
He said: “It’s not enough to live on. We are verbally abused. They call us
mother*****s. But I cannot leave. What else could I do? There are too many
people in India needing work and not enough jobs. The factory wouldn’t care
if I did go because there are always lots of people who would take the job.”
Rajpal Singh, 32, who checks cutting and stitching, reckons he gets 23p an
hour take-home when unpaid overtime is taken into account.
Labour Behind The Label, which campaigns for better conditions for overseas
factory workers, accused Superdry of “exploitation”.

My lad dragged me into superdry a few years ago, I think I'd rather have walked back to the car/train naked than wearing anything they had on offer.

Surely it's better than cycling LYCRA !!!!

 

[Live by the sea]

Super dry is very popular with people that want to be seen as cool but who mostly actually aren’t…

That just makes me want it more


Does that make me a bad person?

 

[Questions]

My wife has just come home with two Fatface tee shirts.
They don’t help with fat tummy though. I need to lose two stone at least.
Why did I open this thread. ?

 

[Algernon]

My ex wife used to frequently present me with "aspirational" t-shirts that were tried on but never worn.
They're still around, (a bit like my tummy).
She isn't.

 

[maffew]

I'll admit it, I do like a lot of Superdry clothes. Dont own any, but I'd wear it if every other man and his dog didnt. Well I would have until I read cheeky monkeys post

It was worth it for [MENTION=3462]Springal[/MENTION]'s line.

Surely it's better than cycling LYCRA !!!!

At the moment it is literally illegal for me to wear Lycra, literally.
Which does nothing for my need to lose the odd kilo or 20.

Were it not for my glorious mane of hair I'd currently be sat in an overgrown Cambodian temple with only a nervous looking cow for company.

I need talking down before I decide a lime green hoodie with 'SuperDry Tokyo' emblazoned across the front and back, is what's missing from my wardrobe.

To help you make the decision, be aware that Superdry was concocted in 2002 by a middle aged bloke in Cheltenham who thought Japanese writing on his products might help his company sell more stuff, alongside his other brand Cult. It's about as Japanese as sushi from the Co-op.

I'd have wagered my left testicle on the SuperDry 'brand' never setting foot in Japan.
I also reckon I could have got Cheltenham inside 20 'yes/no' questions.


Were it not for the fact I would have known the answer:-

'Was it started in Brighton?' would have been question #1.

 

[Lower West Stander]

I quite like my SuperDry Idris Elba jumper.

I think I look cool......

 

[BNthree]

It used to be the case plain clothes coppers always seemed to wear SuperDry.
