    Superdry = Chav

    Maybe in your opinion, but in real terms it's very popular with most teenage kids, and most of them aren't chavs.
  • The t shirt issue has put me off buying a hooded top off them.

    I agree about the quality of the t-shirts, but only really about the fabric quality. They are made from a very thin quite see through fabric that looks really cheap to me. However, DD1 only has one t-shirt and it's still going strong 3 years on: good as new.

    Don't be put off the hoodies though. The sweatshirts we have bought are on another quality level entirely. Much thicker than Hollister and also stand the test of time extremely well. I almost think they're quite good value, on a par with Jack Wills in terms of quality, but much cheaper.

    Don't want to come over all mse on you BUT.....

    My DGD loves Jack Wills but I'd rather give her money or vouchers. She'll get far more in the sales than I would this side of Christmas (unless possibly very last minute). Plus its their own choice.

    George by Asda.
    You've met my teen then. :D And when threads like this start I count my blessings that he really is not into labels. ;)

    Think he might like the Monster Energy tops mentioned earlier though.

    Why not ask their Mum?

    I have done. She says she doesn't know what SHE'S going to get them, let alone me!

    And if I keep pestering her for suggestions she just ignores my texts:(:(

    Really, you'd need her suggestions, what is fashionable in 1 area could get him laughed at for being a "chav" in another, as various labels have various associations. Also, be sure they'd actually care about the make of a hoody, most lads I knew would have rathered another x-box game each for the price of these stupid brands, but then, I live in Cornwall, we're all backerds.

    Whatever their friends have conned their doting female relatives out of.

    Put the money into a high interest account & help them with an interview suit instead.

    Rather than T-shirts, at that sort of age their feet tend to be the smaller men's shoes sizes that come up more often on the half price rack in Vans (if they're skaters that is.)
