So Aldi has branded clothing (as in "Aldi" brand) limited edition coming next week. I assume there must be a market for it, since they wouldn't sell it if they didn't think people would buy it. But I'm left wondering whether there are going to be people lining up at opening for their chance to own an Aldi hoodie or T-shirt.

What sort of person buys this?

Edit: Here - pages 14-21 of the catalogue.

I'd have a look at the shoes and maybe the brolly. Nothing else appeals. The shoes look fairly discreet.

They have to pay me to wear their advertisement garb.

Is this going to be Aldi brand like anko brand T-shirts, where you wouldn't know unless you saw the tag, or is this Aldi brand like a Nike or Supreme shirt?

I'd consider buying them if they're plain and cheap, but I do not wear anything with visible branding, except shoes since there's not much choice there. But everything else must not have it's brand visible or I just don't wear it

Like the latter, only bold like a sports team branding. I've just edited my comment with the clothing in question.

Holy shit that looks ridiculous. I cant even-

When was the catalogue released? Is this a belated april fools?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I would probably wear the hoodie but I wouldnโ€™t go to Aldi just to get that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I assume it'll be plain with only the tag saying Aldi.

Actually, I don't hate that beanie - if it's just a rainbow colour and not with a giant Aldi logo on it. I can't tell from the picture. I'd tear off that tag, of course.

Not that I've worn a beanie since I returned to Perth. They're a Melbourne thing. So, I don't intend to buy it. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah, would definitely wear that hoodie and those slides are kinda dope.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

nah, a lot of it is aldi colours, with the aldi logo on it.
