look, I think the point is that once hollywood names start wearing something, theres always a chance that it will increase the brands or designers popularity among those who want dress like celebs, in other words people most of us are probably not that fond of. the worst case scenario would be that celeb wannabees start buying the designer, leaving a bad taste in the mouth of those who appreciate the brand for reasons other than John Mayer wearing it. I don't see this happening, I'm just thinking what could be seen as the down side of celebs wearing something.
imagine if you buy a really nice shirt, and the next day you see some person you really hate wearing the same piece. it probably wouldn't feel super cool. not saying that its exactly the same thing, but I'm just guessing that this might be the point with the reaction towards this. I do however agree with the breaks, personally I wouldn't really care too much about something like this.
But well either way, Dick Oven for life [throw up whatever gang sign here] :)

Sorry for breaking up the celeb-wearing/butchering-Rick discussion, but they've added videos to the RO site. Most of them have already been seen by most (the Hintmag stuff and the Vogue one), but the first video is pretty good (the Arte one). Wish my Deutsch was better though...
Edit: Just added it to Youtube

Seems like I said exactly the same thing as mike here though:
I guess what I'm saying is people put way too much emphasis on what others wear. Stuff is cool if the right people wear it and instantly becomes uncool if the wrong people do. I could understand it if something became like a staple of high street fashion all of a sudden, but that's not the case here...Suede is too Gucci.

Alright gents, do the double layer Ts come in anything else besides 100% cotton? How is the sizing on the long sleeve, I wear an M in the cotton sleeveless tees even though I'm a 50-52.
Still looking for some form of pearl long sleeve dual layered like on eluxury but want to know the preferred material composition.
