Super Expensive Clothes

[bbshriver]

I'll admit I like "nice stuff" as much as the next guy, and probably go out of my way to look good more than the next guy, but why is it if you look at any article or publication on men's fashion, they only talk about spending vast amounts of $$. For example $300+ shirts. I remember an article in Men's Health a while back talking about "fall fashion" or some such and their "casual" jeans n t-shirt look was something like $900... Not including watch/jewelery.

My dad made it through years in top executive roles in a fortune 500 company on $300 Men's Wearhouse suits, and department store/Lands End shirts/shoes. Seriously how many people pay over $300 for a shirt and why??!

I remember reading a few years ago some article on bespoke clothing and their choice for shirts was an English tailor, who would take over 150 measurements for your shirt... and his shirts were <$150. To me $100+ is still massive for something like a shirt, but if I were going to pay that I'd be looking for custom/bespoke stuff, not off the shelf.

I just don't get it..?
