Consider this...

Man's woodland camo jacket, large size, price is $29.99:

Women's woodland camo string bikini top, price is $57.99:

Now, clearly one could make a dozen or so bikini tops from the cloth in the jacket. What gives? BTW, these pics and prices are from [url]www.afmo.com[/url]

I'm not going to tell you how I really feel about that, but yes it's a bit absurd.

Easy...

Because customers will pay an inflated price for women's clothing.

The fashion industry knows if they make a product that appeals to the women they will buy the product if it is $10.00 OR $100.00.
Women have a weakness when it comes to saving money while shopping or buying clothes.
