I think I have to write a a little paragraph about how unfair clothing prices are. First, I'm often shocked to see how relatively cheap things made of cloth are. I guess we have to thank the labour force in far-away places such as in China, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. I'm thinking of this as I just walked back across the street from the Army & Navy Department Store. I noticed that at $17.99, real Wrangler jeans, due to the sweat of Mexican garment workers, are as cheap as when I was a child.Still, most prices seem so arbitrary. I know a lot of different factors must enter into the equation. For example, the tenders for specific contracts must have an enormous affect. Even the time of the year makes a difference as retailers don't want stock sitting around. Yet today I noticed that a spring jacket is selling for $11.90 but some thin shorts were going for $24.99. I can't help but contrast the amount of material in the $19.95 queen-sized bed comforters and the $19.95 non-brand name necktie.
Ah, it doesn't really matter does it? I just needed to pick up some bathing trucks to bring to Arizona for next week. I'm going to look so cool!
