This is exactly how I feel. I think that some of the older pieces were completely suitable for the styles of the time. While they still are quite popular, I think that most of the attraction is due to the fact that they are an older, more skiing oriented piece. I can think of many cool garments that I would have worn a few years ago, but now... I'm not so sure. I definitely think that simpler is the way to go for Jiberish. The whole "in your face or loud" element has worn off for the average customer. I for one think that a clean hoodie with an attractive logo (that makes sense) with a few side elements makes for a winning combination. For example the A La Mode. Simple, but attractive.
I'm not sure why I took the time to write all that.
