• It's a shame that everything free people sells is overpriced. I tend to find similar items at a bargain at thrift shops.

• I think you guys are awesome in everything you do!

• I think the new line is absolutely adorable (casual, yet stylish)...which is what I think about mostly everything that FP puts out. The attention to detail and providing something other stores do not keeps this my favorite brand of all time.

  But "rugged"? If like most of Free People's clothing, the durability and how it washes leaves something to be desired when you look at the price tags.
  I love love love FP...but would love love love quality to match the price.
  Until that occurs, I'll still buy/search for FP products at "the Maxx" : )

• Cool look, I like the vintagey-rough & tumble look. I also think it's neat when you have a new "brand" like what Anthro does with all of their in house labels. & Yeah you can buy similar itms elsewhere,.....but do I really want to ? ;>)

• I love we the free and the whole boy-ish, rugged aesthetic. Btw you should post about music and bands like your post from a while ago about the weepies, whom I love.

• i thought the shirts were saying "from" at first. from what? but then i realized it said "frdm". so that's short for "freedom" right? that's cool. i like the name "we the free".

• I ADORE the We the Free stuff, but I wish it wasn't so overpriced. There are so many things that you guys sell/make that I would LOVE to buy, but they cost too much money. I LOVE the We the Free panther sweatshirt, but I would never spend $138 for it (or rather my mom would never let me spend that money on a sweatshirt). I also love the climbing blooms cutout tanks, but $78 for a tank is a bit pricey.

  Maybe you could create a sub-brand (think Marc by Marc Jacobs as a sub-brand for Marc Jacobs) with clothing that isn't as pricey? I'd LOVE if you did that. It would make me rediculously happy :)

• I love the casual, everyday look! Maybe that line should be a little more cheaper, as it is 'everyday clothing'. great stuff!

• i do like the line, but i tend to favor the regular free people merchandise more

  i like the ("crafty"?) /uniqueness of the reg. clothes, they are usually different compared to what everyone else is wearing which is why i love them so much [like the dresses with all the trimmings, the "bohemian"flair to them, and the fun prints and knits]

  but the we the free line seems to be to typical of every other store, its like its just graphic tees and tanks

• those of you who are commenting on pricing should definitely check out the we the free stuff because all though it is more expensive, the materials are of better quality (ex. the hoodie with the bronco on the back is a lot thicker than the $78 and $88 hoodies that fp normally sells). the attention to detail is absolutely fabulous and, as always, the designs on the tees, tanks, and hoodies are totally awesome. great job, fp! :) :)

• Hey everyone. You should totally take Sarah's advice and check out the We the Free stuff in person before you wonder about the price. The quality of the fabrics is AMAZING and so is the detailing. I don't think you would say it looks like other stuff out there if you saw it in person. The printing and dying techniques are really special and not something you'll see everywhere. You are of course entitled to you opinion. Just wanted to add my 2 cents. We are FP are really proud of this line and totally in love.

• I do like the original Free people stuff better. The new We The Free looks a little Abercrombie... It's a good business move to branch out, you might reach more audience, but I will stick to the "crafty" and original looking garments and accessories.

  Also, I agree with a previous poster about the quality. I buy oodles of FP stuff and just love it, but since I spend every bit of of my money on it, I would like it if it didn't fall apart immediately. I can't tell you how many trips to the seamstress I've made to repair fallen apart FP garments. And yet, I continue to buy. Just disappointing and draining the pocket book.

• I do not think the Feb '08 catolog is appropriate to the culture of India.
