    The tag is correct. Menswear doesn't refer to things men wear. It's a style of women's clothes that are tailored with patterns/fabric that are typically used in men's suits/clothes.

    The bra is menswear because of the business-suit pinstripe styling.

    I don't make up the rules, I just poke my head outside every once in a while to see what the world is up to.

    Yeah, this always fascinated me. You see ads all the time for "menswear inpired" fashions for women. Someone else mentioned "boy shorts." That's the same sort of thing.

    Question for the men here... Would any of you (well, us, really) buy clothing that was advertised as "inspired by women's fashsions?"

    You see, men, generally speaking, do not subscribe to an ideology called "masculinism" which holds that you can gain equality by dressing like women.

    Well, the alternative is that it was a girl called George.
    Which is a possibility... (See "Dead Like Me" for reference)

    no it wasn't.

    McVaio:
    The real WTF is why George is looking at bras.

    That's easy. It's one thing for a woman to find a bra that she [and|or|xor] her [husband|life partner|boyfriend|toyboy] [like|likes]. It's another thing entirely to find that bra in the correct size, when for the most part nearly-the-right-size is about as useful as completely-wrong-size and the only way to establish the size is to check the tag or the price tag. Given that, it's quicker for two people than one to check through the rack (insert GROAN! here) of bras trying to find the right size. If it's there at all.

    Mind you, my first thought on seeing the post was that reason for the single-digit price was simply because the demand for bras in menswear was so low. High school economics - supply/demand curve.

    Last time my wife took me clothes shopping with her, she came out of the changing room at a particularly upmarket lingerie store to find me with a bra on my head. An E cup with lace trim if memory serves. She found this amusing, so I had to take things to the next level by loudly complaining to a shop assistant about how those "chicken fillet" pads are tantamount to fraud.

    Now I get to stay in the coffee shop with a book while the wife goes clothes shopping.
