A lot of people wear cheap mondays, maybe not around your local tescos or yates' wine lodge, but a helluva-lotta people wear them. I see them around all the time. |

There are two Cheap Monday shops in Stockholm - called Weekday, one of them is pretty big and sells other brands like April, Julian Red and the other one is a tiny little cupboard with some girl sitting on a sowing machine knocking up pairs of jeans |

Cheap Mondays have always looked shit. I've never seen them in Oxford, but when I was out in Brum they were everywhere. |

ive sold 300 pairs in a year and i am a tiny shop so middlesbrough is a wash with them and i have a list of kids to ring when the new delivery comes in. I thought that cheap monday was originaly by some bird who worked at H&M in the sourcing team (and somone for levis), sounds to me that H&M have bought the brand because they are competition for their own denim. I remember when I was in their showroom when they had just launched and selfidges wanted 100'000+ pairs -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

ask ten of your mates if they have heard of 'cheap monday' and post back the results. they are a sucess cos they are fucking champagne jeans for lemonade money, dun hate or be jealous cos someones done well. and dean is was started by some geezer about 5 years ago in the back of his house (kind of). But i bet your mates or my mates or the majority of peoples mates are not the target audience. How many 17year old emo's do you actually know? i dont know any but i still see all of them wearing them about so low you can see what pants they are wearing(usually a vibrant colour/pattern. |
