Dear GAP, et. al.
November 9th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
I don’t want to buy three layers to be in fashion. Wouldn’t a nice long sleeve shirt of some sort be enough for you? Why do I need to buy the t-shirt, the shirt with the collar to go over that, AND the sweater to go over it all — which you then think I need to roll halfway back up my arm. OF COURSE I DO! I’d be boiling hot from wearing all the layers that you expect me to buy to conform to your fashion sense.
I realize this is just an excuse to sell three things to your consumers instead of one in order to create “a look,” but it’s getting ridiculous. Please quit it. Thanks!

Er, that’s standard wear in Seattle, where you often have to remove or add a layer quickly due to changes in temperature or from going indoors. Layering is taught in schools here.
