No one really sees your underwear or socks either. So why do they sell expensive branded shit?

When I talked about the shirts thing, I meant get it made somewhere else, not go to wal-mart. I was relating it to the guy who said that you can make an exhaust for like $200 as opposed to buying a $1000 brand name one.

But what I’m trying to say is that people will still always pay for brand name shit.
