Consumer Investigations with Neasden Postlethwaite
I seem to have been buying plain black Gap t-shirts for some considerable time. And, since I'm of the slightly gig-going persuasion, I have an imperial arseload of t-shirts that I wear in a wonky sort of rotation, which means that individual shirts last for quite a while.
Admittedly that's bloke values of 'quite a while', but still.
Anyway, here's a handy chart (Or it would be if LJ allowed tables, or divvies or whatever's in HTML5. God. I remember HTML 2) that shows the weight of bloke's medium black Gap t-shirts.
Early 90s - 250g
Mid 00s - 238g
2011 - 138g
2012 - 178g
There's a big, er, gap between the first two examples because I was mostly too lardy to fit into medium t-shirts, so the first one was stored in the bottom of a box.
I'm not quite sure what this proves, other than Gap used to make nice things that lasted for quite a while and that I can't even spell fashnio.
