Cotton on isn't that shit. I've worn a pair of their jeans for the past 3 years and they're still going strong. Their button-downs are good too, and for cheap tees they're good. Shoes/thongs/fake sunnies/jackets they're crap for though.

I bought these Kenji basics from Myers for $30 for two of them. I like 'em. They fit nice and snug and they're not long either.

Don't make the mistake of buying basics (or anything, rather) from Jayjays like I did. Granted, I only spent like 20 bucks, but they are the worst things I have ever bought.
