Your company won't last because of this and you Karen will be looking for another place to suck money out of hard working people.

People pay premiums for things that they want like concerts or sporting events or shows. It goes on everywhere.  No one is saying you HAVE to buy them so calling it lining your pockets is just a smear.  How do you line your pockets, What do you do to make a living? Is that lining your pockets? Yes it is. Clearly you don’t believe in free enterprise which has a saying “Whatever the market will bear”.

Glenn,you started off on the right track,now your not even on the rails.

I am a T-shirt freak and have spent more on some than the 1791 brand, but haven't been as good quality. Now I only buy my T-shirts from 1791 as I love the quality and design and I want to do business with those companies that share my values.

Business endeavors like this are ... I would go so far as to say "important". However, while I'd rather pay $100 for a pair of 1791 jeans than $25 or $35 for a pair made by a company that supports (deliberately or coincidentally) ideologies directly opposed to my own, where I spend my money is becoming increasingly important and one does have to prioritize. I can't afford to spend extra on every front. I spend extra on housing. I spend extra on food. I spend extra on technology products. I spend extra on appliances. I spend extra on tools... Something has to give. Also, there are other clothing manufacturers that exist that provide comparable (if not quite up to the same standard) less expensive products that I don't feel guilty for buying. Do I buy something made by 13 year olds working 14hr work shifts for 10/wk in a Brazilian factory because it costs less so that I can afford to buy 1791 clothing instead of ... I won't name other brands here because I do want Beck's company to do well and I think it would be bad form to practically advertise competition on his own website by naming them. The point is, everyone has limited wealth. It's the nature of wealth. Therefore, we must all prioritize. Now, for some the purchase of $100 jeans is nothing. However, it's reasonable to deduce that for the majority of Americans $100 jeans aren't very practical. So, for most Americans they must either choose to cut back somewhere else so that they can afford to purchase those jeans, or purchase cheaper jeans elsewhere. I may end up cutting somewhere else to purchase the 1791 jeans simply because I feel so strongly about the roots of the company. However, I'm not blindly a brand loyalist and I would caution every consumer to never be a blind brand loyalist. It would be better for everyone if more than one company was out there like 1791, and competition will make the entire market stronger. God bless. Agreed.

But I need to have a place to live and eat prior to spending that much on clothing.  I have bought 2 shirts from 1791, but honestly these prices are much too exorbitant to buy on a regular basis. $60 for a polo? $100 for jeans?
