Once upon a time, Banana Republic was a really nifty and quirky clothing outlet. They sold clothes normal people would want to wear AND oddities from around the world. I mean, L.L. Bean sells leather bomber jackets. Banana Republic sold bomber jackets AND silk aviator's scarves AND lambskin flight helmets. It was fun just walking around the store. Then the Gap bought them out, subjected the chain to a massive dose of their Bland-ogrifier Ray, and turned them into Yuppie Central. EEEEECCCCH. To this day, I have a sweater from the _old_ Banana Republic that I'd love to replace with a bigger size, but since the chain's demise I've never found one quite like it. (The Poet's Sweater was a THICK fisherman's sweater made from flecked cotton, not wool. About as warm and cozy as a sweater could get, but soft enough to wear over a T-shirt.) I've tried every store and online site I could find, no dice. I may have to take up knitting. |
