my big kids had them 8 years ago but when i saw them now i was shocked
i would rather stick pins in my eyes than be seen out in one

there was a general switch 9 years ago and a significant drop in sale when gap kids expanded from london to the burbs and beyond, it officially became chav wear then.

Dd2 has a pink one which was dd1's, both of them have worn it to death and it is infact a bit small now, but dd2 still wears it.

I used to love GAP when we had one. I figured out how much the price of tops and jeans and other bits and bobs would be dropped by each time they had a sale, and I'd go in each week to check the prices and then eventually end up with tops for about £2.50 and jeans for £5.

So now my kids are officially chavvy

tis a fact though

lol it's a fact coz you say so

no cos i know

ok so how do you know?

Lol I am being flippant I know but I just don't see how Gap is now officially chavvy?
I mean do they have cartificate now or something with Best Chavvy Clothes on it?

maybe a certificate

The DSs have loads of these - they were two for £8 in the sale about three years ago.
I bought two in every colour!
They are virtually indestructible, and wash really well, and with my two, they need to!
They do look a bit odd when they wear them at the same time, though, and get in a right old strop when I make one of them go and change.

Ds1 won't wear his any more as someone at cubcamp told him it stood for 'gay and proud.'

A toy demonstrator in Harrods, with rather a Child Catcher demeanour, stopped DS1, poked him in the chest, and said "oh no, you've got a hole in your hoodie. Ah, don't worry, it's just a GAP!"

How we all chortled.

only gap logo is chavvy, not the whole range, lots of bad press with criminals being released from jail in gap logo hoods, thats how it started.

I wear GAP jeans and my lo wears a GAP hoodie. I had no idea we were chavs! My god, this could spark a new debate-do chavs know they are chavs????

the only range safe from chavs is Boden

I hate clothes with logos on - especially on young children

Oh well I bloody hate Boden so I must be really chavvy

oh no.not that i actually care-although would rather ds wasnt seen as chav.i just got him cheapie well worn in hoodie on ebay!i thought it looked cute and comfy.

I live in the 5th best shopping city in the Uk and don't even have a KidsGap. So annoying. Luckily my dear mother sends me all the sale bargains she picks up for the dc in hers, her latest acquistion is age 13 knickers for my 9 year old. [hmm and sighs]

My dh has an ancient Gap hoodie which I think my bil may have acquired in Malaysia at some point in the 80's. He wears it to cut the lawn. He must be a chavvy gardener.

my dd has a pink logo that has been thru 4 nieces from 2001, still perfect, wears it to nursery,its a motessori and we havent been kicked out yet!
