[Help] Save me from SuperDry.

It's happening and I'm scared.

As a fat middle-aged man obviously I'm, in part, target audience for the store.
Thankfully my loathing of telling everyone what clothes I'm wearing (and I assume my great head of hair) I've been able to give their stores a wide berth.

But now half of Stat Club Junior's are of an age where they'll at least look around SuperDry, naturally with my wallet close by, and sadly I'm now the owner of 3 items of SuperDry clothing. (not that you'd know that to look at them)


I need talking down before I decide a lime green hoodie with 'SuperDry Tokyo' emblazoned across the front and back, is what's missing from my wardrobe.

The reason it is called SuperDry is that is what happens to women who see men wearing it.

This should help Stat:

EXPLOITED factory workers are paid as little as 28p an hour to make jackets
for trendy brand Superdry.
Garment checker Ashok Kumar, 32, is among those producing the firm’s jackets
at the Modelama factory in Gurgaon near New Delhi. The dad of one says it takes 30 workers an hour to make ten, with supervisors watching every move. He and wife Sharada live in a slum in a single 9ft square concrete room. They
cannot afford to keep their five-year-old son with them and he lives away
with family.
Payslips show Ashok earned 6,203 rupees (£61.82) for 27 days in July, that’s
28p an hour for an eight-hour day, although he says he often works up to 16
hours to meet targets.
He said: “It’s not enough to live on. We are verbally abused. They call us
mother*****s. But I cannot leave. What else could I do? There are too many
people in India needing work and not enough jobs. The factory wouldn’t care
if I did go because there are always lots of people who would take the job.”
Rajpal Singh, 32, who checks cutting and stitching, reckons he gets 23p an
hour take-home when unpaid overtime is taken into account.
Labour Behind The Label, which campaigns for better conditions for overseas
factory workers, accused Superdry of “exploitation”.

My wife has just come home with two Fatface tee shirts.
They don’t help with fat tummy though. I need to lose two stone at least.
Why did I open this thread. ?

To help you make the decision, be aware that Superdry was concocted in 2002 by a middle aged bloke in Cheltenham who thought Japanese writing on his products might help his company sell more stuff, alongside his other brand Cult. It's about as Japanese as sushi from the Co-op.
