> [@PureXTC](#): > > One time I even got “the wave” from another guy wearing Astars. Haha. That’s kinda cool actually. But still. What do you want the company to do? Not let a major distributor sell their brand because they want to keep their clothes exclusive? Think of this as it making the clothes you like cheaper. ---

> [@Avatar](#): > > Eh… who cares? This is old news anyway. PacSun has been carrying Alpinestars gear for years. Actually Zumiez has been the only retail chain with Astars. Not that they carry much. PacSun selling it is news to me. > [@ieatpaint315](#): > > i have easily a dozen a\* shirts. i like the designs and they’re good quality. i don’t care what other people wear. Agreed. I pretty much exclusively wear Astars because the shirts are well made, look good, are relatively inexpensive and still make XXL for my fat ass. I only buy Alpinestars because I know the brand, support their motorsport teams and sponsorships and they’re much less worn than Fox, Billabong, Famous, etc. If they become more popular I probably won’t care because then I’ll have an easier time finding their shirts. Also when the kids at Zumiez ask “Yo you like motox??” I enjoy saying “No, rally, touring cars and auto racing.” ---

I can see why people get annoyed about it, but at the end of the day it does not matter what others wear or do unless it brings unwanted attention upon myself. Kind of like what F&F did for ricers. ---

Who cares it is a shirt… now if people were wearing Alpinestars leather jackets just to be cool is a little bit different, but a tshirt is a friggin tshirt lol. ---

in my mind theres 2 types of people that rock alpinestars… 1. theres the people that ride, 2. and theres the people that dont… the people that ride know what the real alpinestars is and how they pretty much evolved the whole motorcycle gear market…get over it…i have an a\* jacket, and i like it… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/alpinestars-the-next-abercrombie/66205.md?page=2)
