I´m wary of supporting Oxy, who seems to have a rather combative approach to posting, but I agree with him about logos. In terms of the history of clothing, it´s a very recent development; a con trick on the part of manufacturers that is easily avoided. Although I don´t go to Gandhi´s extreme and spin my own clothes, I do cut labels off my jeans as I like a kind of traditional/timeless appearance and don´t want to endorse consumerism by giving some manufacturer free publicity.
