Moooooonaaaay!!!
 
I hate Hilfiger. Even the smallest size of all their shirts are made for 6foot people. Fuck'em.
 
they've sucked for a while anyway. I don't know anyone who buys their shit anymore. They might as well be a Wal-Mart brand.
 
I figured the brand was struggling when I saw polo shirts for around $15-20 when I visited New York. I wonder how Tommy lost its popularity, there was a time when his clothes were huge. I don't personally own any of his stuff, though.

Their offshoot (and higher priced) H Collection is wonderful, I'd be sad to see it go away.
 
I guess they are learning from Target, get recognizable names that aren't attached to sweatshops in Asia and people might actually buy your clothes.

Target has done a fantastic job with their marketing the last few years. It would take a lot of work on the part of Wal-Mart to be viewed by people in the same light.

Since most XXL sizes by companies are made for fucking dwarfs, I'd say it's Hilfiger's one and only positive. Otherwise fuck that brand.

Looks like someone's either freakishly tall or morbidly overweight. Considering I'm just a little under the average height and weight for a male in this country, it's pretty ridiculous when the smallest size they make is far too long for me. I consider Tommy a tall & fat brand. Or a ghetto brand....whichever.

I'm 6'4, 230 pounds. I say if you're a grown adult male and under 6 feet, you're a fucking midget. :lol Big sizes are hard to come by in these parts, not to mention decent leg room on buses (and for some reason they've become worse on the new models...stupid fucks). Shit, I'm still waiting to find a XXL Arsenal '06 jersey (and even that will barely fit). The whole world's run by midgets.

Like I said fuck Hilfiger, but I'll give 'em props for being the one brand who realizes that people don't peak at 5'9.
