I'm late to the table on this, being that both Jeremiah & Bowery Boogie hit it earlier today, but being that I posted a rant about the very same thing not too long back, I figured that I too should weigh in. Evidently, John Varvatos is now selling "exclusive" Bowery t-shirts (the design being a limp approximation of the fabled John Lennon NYC t-shirt made famous by Bob Gruen's photograph) out of his vulgar haberdashery in the footprint of the former CBGB. Still strenuously vying for some desperate form of credibility and/or caché, how much is JV asking for this flimsy garment?
$98.00!!!!
If you buy one of these, you're pathetic.
They're only $90 at Blue & Cream!

any street vendor could rip that off in an instant anyway. wearing this should be cause for a beatdown.
