What’s the most expensive item of clothing you’ve bought?

[Landy828]

Couldn't care less about clothing.

So probably my wedding suit.

I won't buy any piece of clothing unless it's $20 or less.

My jeans are $80 jeans, but I bought them at an overstock store for $20.

 

[Vuze]

I don't really care for clothing brands. The market is just such a mess with no real price point to reference that I don't even want to do shopping since everything seems like a scam. I buy like – what I perceive as – two midrange brand pieces for more formal occasions a year to slowly grow variation but don't think I've got any single item that was more than 100 bucks. Like with most others, my suit was probably the most expensive (if you don't count watches).

 

[Cosmic Bus]

We have a lot of expensive sneakers in our household 🤫 Balenciaga, Fear of God, Fendi, Rick... idk if it's the best use of money lol, but at least we're wearing the stuff instead of having them sit in a box in the closet.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

$250 winter jacket. I can't imagine spending more on clothing. Usually it's below $100 but I buy clothes like once a year lol.

 

[Lashes.541]

I have spent about 120$ for a pair of jeans. And I spend 100$ On a pair of vans shoes every three months.

 

[fallingedge]

Like 500 on a pair of resell Off White Blazers.

 

[-Peabody-]

$3300 for a fursuit.

 

[treble]

A couple of Veilance and Arcteryx jackets.

Some Allen Edmonds shoes.

Mission workshop merino, jackets, and backpacks.

Ethically made, great warranties and repairs. All worth the money.

 

[DJChuy]

$400 for a leather jacket.

 

[Griselbrand]

$300 for a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers

~$260 for a pair of South Beach Air Jordan's.

Really I only want to spend money on shoes but besides that not much else clothingwise.

 

[UnholyChocolate]

Some UGG boots for £150. They are comfy as fuck

 

[grmlin]

All the shit you buy for skiing and snowboarding.

 

[Komo]

What do $600 shoes look like?

They look like this. Not too crazy but I've got the more expensive versions of these the High tops and I needed to finish my collection.

[Samanosuke Akechi]

$90

$200 Apple Watch.

$100 Columbia jacket from kohl's.

$156 Oakley gascan sunglasses.

 

[Deleted member 37928]

$500 on a winter jacket. And it's worn out now so I need a new one. 😭

 

[Ravensmash]

A couple of pairs of Red Wing boots.

Luckily, I absolutely adore them.

 

[Lys Skygge]

$400 hiking boots
$200 hiking tights

I also spent around $200 for a new winter jacket every few years.

 

[Giant Panda]

$125 Merrell hiking shoes. Clothes are not something I go expensive on

 

[Seirith]

Do shoes count? I spent $60 on boots, other than that less than $30 per item.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

I bought a cashmere sweater.

 

[leng jai]

A Burberry trench coat when I was in London in 2012. I've probably worn it like 4 times since.

 

[Quantum Leap]

$90 Levi's jacket. I don't like overspending on clothes.

 

[gosublime]

About a £1000, fully kitted out kilt outfit for my wedding. My wife's dress cost the same but I've worn mine more than once, so there you go.

 

[Nilou]

A $28 pair of jeans, was a lot of money for a piece of clothing but it's the most expensive clothing item I've bought.

 

[Deleted member 4367]

Snowboard boots were like $225 I think.

 

[Dan Thunder]

About £120 for a Diesel jacket.

If we're talking accessories too then my vivoactive 3 which was around £200.

 

[StallionDan]

£20 pair of jeans probably.

Oh, maybe £40 on some boots.

I don't waste money on designer names.

 

[Eros]

Aside from my wedding suit, a pair of boots for like 300

 

[GamerJM]

Like 300 or 400 USD on a suit or something

 

[Eye for an Eye]

In ratio to price point, I spend $25-$30 a pair of socks for my boyfriend. I get him heavy alpaca wool socks. They're the only ones that will last longer than a year without getting a hole. And I have to drive about two hours away to get to the store. Plus it helps with keeping his feet warm since he has nerve damage and numbness.

He does have a collection of Thur-lo socks that I got at a store closing sale. I'd buy like 10 pairs every price drop, so between $3-$5 a pair. Normally they're closer to $20 and fairly often on sale.

yeah socks n underwear from Lululemon men's

 

[hephaestus]

350 for work boots

 

[Deleted member 46493]

Junya Watanabe x Levi's jacket, kind of. Probably retailed around $1k but I got it for about ~$200 using some PayPal money.

Retail-wise, perhaps a Noah winter parka at around $425.

 

[FaffEra]

£400 for a blue calfskin jacket I bought in Italy.
Next closest is like £45 for some trousers lol.

 

[amanset]

In Autumn I bought a Gloverall duffel coat. I think it was 5000 SEK, which is about 530 USD apparently.

 

[Eggiem]

I almost spent 250€ on a TNF Nuptse 1996 down jacket last month. Will wait for sale because 250 is completely overpriced.

 

[Nachos]

$350 for a pair of David Kind eyeglasses after getting $100 slashed off. But for something that's less functional, $250 for some good, entry-level boots from Meermin.

At this point, I'm basically starting to buy all my clothes used. So I'll probably get some stuff that would be valued at a lot more soon, but it'll be for a fraction of the price.

$3300 for a fursuit.

Click to shrink...

I don't know anything about fur suits, but how much of a pain are those to clean? I'd be so scared of getting stuff on them, especially since I'm sure it's a lot harder to see through the helmet.

 

[Quinnzel]

£120 for my first pair of Dr Martens boots (black and white paint splatter) have had them for years now, best pair of boots I've ever owned but murder to break in.

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

Woah some of the things here are expensive. Here I thought I was crazy for spending $250 on a pair of weightlifting shoes lol.

 

[Slipknot666]

Regular clothing? $100 on a pair of shoes.

$200 for Nike Mercurial Superfly cleats

 

[Alanood]

An official shirt for my favourite band. Costed me ~$100.

 

[Dyscord]

$500 on chelsea boots.

 

[yongeandcollege]

Winter jacket, suit

 

[Zukuu]

Bespoke suit for like 600€.

 

[BioDigital Jazzman]

$150 pair of jeans
$40 polo shirts
$200 jordans
$200 suit with $50 alterations

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Bespoke suits can easily hit a grand+; those are my biggest money sinks; but it's a semi-expectation in my career.

Otherwise dress shoes... like $400/pair. But I have several pairs that will be ten years old next year and they still look great, even wearing them at least once a week around the year.

And I splurge on Sneakers.

 

[finalflame]

I have an Arc'teryx ski jacket that was like a grand. A few other around that price point, so $1000ish.

Shoes and suits are things every man should spend max dollars on (among other things, ofc). I think all the conditioning of those $25-$200 gym shoes wearing out in months have made people averse to spending on shoes in particular.

Shoes so good and durable that you simply re-sole them rather than buy new ones is a revaluation for this generation akin to trying out an SSD for the first time.

 

[Deleted member 1849]

I once spent £80 on a coat.

I guess I'm on the low end, according to this thread.

 

[Deleted member 18192]

$1100 for a jacket from prettygreen

Most my sneakers were $150 to $200 but I have around 30 pairs, I have a problem 😅
