Definitely lazy journalism.Its not a story at all.Legal cases and tactics have nothing to do with headlines and all that s**t.
Liam's lawyers know their job and what they are doing.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pretty Green was in trouble.
Meant to be for 'the man on the street' eh? T-shirts that cost £80? A complete joke.

You don't expand your head office if you are in trouble, and that publication is an industry magazine not some tabloid paper. i dont understand why people don't understand the prices.. its a mens wear brand ALL mens wear brands are either the same price or are more expensive then PG. liam never said it was going to be cheap or for the common man as the common man shops at burtons or probably primarni etc on the cheap. Even if he did he's running a business and have to adapt with the climate like all business' and if that drapers article is true obv its the right decision to make

If the man on the street implies the 'average man' and the average wage is around £26,000 then they probably can afford a few items. Aside from the fact I don't think anyone ever said it was going to be cheap menswear. Its more the strange working class rage people have here that because Liam is from Burnage he should be selling to Burnage.

Liam's apparently going to be a farmer now. How 'rockstar' of him.

Who said Pretty Green should just flog cheap stuff to the working man? Never said that. Most people can afford to spend £80 on a t-shirt of course, but it doesn't represent value for money is all I'm saying. The 'average person on the street' has more sense to realise they can get similar but far far cheaper products than what Pretty Green sell.
Seems that even high street commerce can't escape the wrath of Liam fans.

A complete joke. is what you said?? i don't get it why is "meant" to be that exactly There is always cheaper products out there so not really seeing you point. Someone will always say why buy dominos when you can go to asda and get a pizza for for a £4. People say why buy adidas lonsdales just as good, Apple are so overpriced blah blah. Menswear is more expensive than other cheap brands thats nothing to do with liam thats just commercialism, desirable products are more expensive and as PG are expanding guess they are still desirable. if you live your life buying products that represent value for money good for you, but other people don't all live like that

Since when have Pretty Green T-shirts been 80 quid? Went in to the PG store today in Carnaby Street and they were no more than 50, some as cheap as 25. It's not shite stuff, you have to pay for quality.

The fact its been going quite a few years suggest that they do. So basically you are saying that the man on the street is thick.

Cue a link to the Bowie shirts on the PG site which obv more expensive and more collectors editions as being official material from bowies photographer. don't worry about it looks like having common sense and having a balanced opinon does escape the noel fanboys

haha, fanbois to liam's rescue!
pretty green IS fucking expensive. just because you get a shirt for 30 bucks in a sale every now and then doesn't make the rest of the stuff less overpriced. most of it is just out of range for most of the people. there are bloody t-shirts for 114 euros at pretty green! that's as decadent as it gets! coats for 500+ euros. don't tell me this is your normal street price for that stuff just because it's liam gallagher's brand, my dear fanboi.

The Pretty Green financial report came from the fact they reported losses in their last accounts. Doesn't mean they're in financial trouble though, most businesses do for the first few years.
Think PG is reasonably priced myself, there's cheaper stuff on there which is essentially tat, mid range of around £50 and higher end, more expensive stuff as well. The prices are comparable to similar brands and I find PG better fit and better quality as well

"oh yeah, i'm feeling like going to ralph lauren today to buy myself a bloody polo shirt for 100 euros. and maybe a sweater for 150. then i still have 500 left to browse through fuckin boss." yes, we're all like that.

No they are all normal for a menswear brand is the point. he could've done a line for a department store but he didn't he set up a menswear brand and the prices fit perfectly in that market. So whats wrong with that?

they are not. it's only up to a few to pay 100 euros for a bastard poloshirt on a regular basis. if you say something else, you don't know what you are talking about.

Brand names are a rip off.
PG isn't alone. You partially pay for the name.
You are right you can probably find a similar quality off-brand for similar if all you can about is fit and material and not the logo.
In which case do that. If you want a brand name product though you are gonna pay over the odds. Suck it up
