Either buy it, or don't... That's one of the few things great left in our country... you can still decide what you do or don't buy... so far...

^^^Yep^^^

Law of supply & demand...if people are willing to pay $75 for a Chinese-made sweatshirt, they're going to price it that high. Wait a year, or until end of season, and you'll see it on the sale rack. If lucky, they'll have XXL or XXXL so you can use excess material for another shirt.
