Some people dislike them all the time, but I think most people only dislike them when they're not properly cared for. I think it’s just the cleanliness.

With the woefully undressed for the weather yet still decent men, and the lovingly crafted upper/inner thighs and arsecheeks on the women? I like the female forsworn outfit, including the hat (sorry KharmaApple). But I wish the male one had the same attention to detail under the loincloth! Apart from the forsworn clothes, you mean?

I have a beard, it grows on my face, and my neck. I keep it trimmed to a non-bushy length. Before special occasions I clean it off my neck with an electric trimmer. If I shaved my neck every day it would look rashy and pimply and have blood go spurting psssssshhhh in slow motion. That would obviate the benefit of having a beard in the first place. Guide me, o wise FJLs. I still haven’t figured out the neckbeard hate. I have a beard, it grows on my face, and my neck. I keep it trimmed to a non-bushy length.

Also, since when does the US have worker-friendly employment laws? Higher costs of living than the standard countries used in the garment industry, yes. Also also, no garment retailer I've encountered to date "runs" any manufacturing sites. The frequent use of the term "vendor" in that links strongly implies the same about the company under discussion (I can't say I'd ever heard of them before this article). They buy in from factories that can demonstrate compliance with whatever corporate responsibility program they run. http://www.jcrew.com/flatpages/social_responsibility_resourcing.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302048661&bmUID=1329929949961&bmLocale=en_GB <– phew, that took several seconds of my life.

As far as claiming that <em>"J.

If you have proof to the contrary, that's one thing. But <em>"Whatever J. Crew is doing"</em> is not a very convincing argument.
