I think it is funny how Americans see the higher prices in our clothing as a correlation to our dollar which for a long time was about 30% lower than the USD. Yet, when I am shopping, I am constantly thinking "Oh my god what a rip off, this is way cheaper in the states". It could be because I live within 2 hours of the border and the U.S. is very accessible for me, but I wonder if more rural Canadian places and non border towns think the same way.
As far as Guidoness, I think there definitely are those gaudy pieces that have been made strictly for the club, that are just splashed with A|X in random gold lettering, and cheesy dress shirts with the little corset ties at the neck. If you are a smart shopper and can avoid those items, they do have some really nicely cut fashion forward pieces.
