Is that guy wearing a grey GAP pullover or is it GIÁP (as in Vietnamese General Võ Nguyên Giáp) pullover?
This is a nice busy image: colorful and lots to take in. I think this image would be even better with a little cropping off the top (to the green and white stripes) and on the right (the space behind the sitting woman's hat) to get rid of the extraneous, uninteresting, stuff. But I'm a guy who loves to crop my images with my very basic in-computer photo software. I can spend hours monkeying around with one image to get it, as they say, "just right."
Yeah, I was joking. If someone ever wore a GIÁP pullover I wonder if anyone would get the joke. Wear a JAP pullover and you'll be branded a racist, saying that it's an acronym for Jewish American Princess probably wouldn't help.
When I went from Europe back to the States a few years ago my Portuguese niece asked me to get her a GAP pullover. They don't have a GAP store in Portugal and she said she'd be happy to pay me back. I bought her her pullover at a GAP store in a huge mall out in the desert south of Phoenix that's next next to an Indian Reservation. They were half price, I gave it to her as a gift. Her younger brother, my nephew, likes to wear it too.
I really don't understand why kids around the world are so crazy about this kind of stuff, I know that I never was.

Hi Martin,
Definitely a fake GAP hoodie.
