Banana Republic published a magazine called "Trips".  How long did it last?  I found I had the premier issue, which I think I subscribed to.  But don't recall it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.188.33.25 (talk) 16:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: :Image:BR Jacket 0379.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Since you ask: 
I used to shop at the original store, and at the time the clothing was sourced from warehouses full of obsolete military uniforms from countries where there had been a regime change or revolution and of course the despised uniforms of the previous regime were repurposed as fashion items. Anyway, many of the countries were “banana republics” although the really good stuff was from former European colonies in Africa. The name was sort of a joke I was told. This is of course first hand experience and is thus unacceptable for Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.0.12.240 (talk) 03:02, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
