It reminds me of a high school gym class. The kind in 80&#39;s movies where they suit you in heather grey duds, presumably the cheapest cloth available, where appearance is not an issue. Why would you wear a blouse made out of gym clothing material? Related: I expect to see sweat stains on anything made of that stuff. And heather grey tube socks I won&#39;t touch even if they&#39;re clean.<\/p>\n<p>What gives it that cheap look? I can only assume that the manufacturer doesn&#39;t bother to fully mix the solid grey and the solid white. It looks like it&#39;s made of random leftover shreds of cotton half-assedly blended together and then somehow melded into a fabric. Heather grey is the sartorial equivalent of chipboard.<\/p>\n<p>Heather grey accent stripes elicit this response: Oh, they <em>almost<\/em> had enough normal material to make a full shirt.
