Personally, being part of that skate-surf subculture, I think the Nordstrom prices that they are charging for clothes are ridiculous. They fail to differentiate between rich trendy kids who can afford 30 dollar t-shirts and those that started the scene in the first place. I think one of the reason some of these brands are failing (best example is Quiksilver) is that they have been trying to hard and alienate themselves from those that are at the core of the scene. None of those high prices were around when I used to skate back about 10 years ago.
Anybody who lives in coastal Orange County knows better and buys their stuff direct at warehouse sales that goes on every other season around Costa Mesa. I have been shopping at the RVCA sales for ages and have never spent more than $12 per shirt or $10 per hat

I use to buy Volcom from the Volcom warehouse sale until they went corporate and stopped doing it. I started wearing RVCA after that happened. If RVCA follows the footsteps of Volcom and stops having warehouse sales, there are other growing companies around Costa Mesa / Newport.
