What's the most expensive clothing you paid for? And why did I just buy $1000 pants

'Intense'? Ive seen tennis balls with more edge than those lol
I've got one of these too. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy a massive suitcase so I can haul it out with me to Wyoming this fall. It's the warmest thing I own by far.
Yeah I'll be honest the trousers look cheap as fuck given their price. I'd have assumed they cost 20 or so on a market and it looks like they manufactured them for a fraction of that. I'll triple digits for good materials like real leather but 4 digits for these I don't really get the appeal. Glad you're happy with them though OP, kinda sounds like you're hesitant though and at that price, you wanna be real sure about it.
I understand clothes being expensive if it's for a good reason, that they're sustainably made and cruelty-free. Manufactured in the same country.
$700 or so for a suit, but I needed a French cuffed shirt, tie, and so on to go with it so it worked out to be a little more.
$400 for a nice sport coat.
$300 or so for a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers.
$280 (uh, I think) for a pair of Jordan's on StockX.
$180 for a pair of Specialized Recon 3.0 MTB shoes.
These were all really spaced out too, they were a once a year kind of purchase. But they're the top five.

I don't think I've ever spent more than $100 for a single piece of clothing. I suppose I'm frugal or cheap.
But if this is your passion then more power to you. Don't let anyone tell you how to spend your money.

I live really close to the Wyoming/Colorado border - it'a worth it to haul it out here for the Fall.
£150 faux-leather jacket
£225 outfit for a family wedding
I don't spend much on casual clothes.

One of my jackets was around 250.
That's far and away the single-most expensive piece of clothing I own (other than my suit). Maybe second-most is 90-100 for a button-up shirt that I mostly restrict to wearing out to parties or dinners.

Bingo. I've always wanted to get into CDG and Yohji, have a few pieces.
Little point in buying imitations when you can save up and get the real deal, especially in your situation where these inspired pieces didn't fill the hole.
My wedding suit was roughly €2000. That was everything included though, so I wouldn't be able to break it down to individual items. And it definitely looked the part, to the point I couldn't wear it to any other weddings or I would steal the grooms shine.
I bought it in Jackson Hole last October. I was finally warm. LOL
I've spent stupid money on clothes including designer fitted pants, sport coats, suits, shirts and even a hundreds on simple accessories like belts and wallets but I guess I'm getting old because those pants I would regret purchasing instantly.
I guess it depends on what you are doing with them. Most of my shit I wear at work, wear for fine dining with my SO (lot less now), weddings, and other events, I guess I just don't make enough yet (hopefully) to justify $1000 cargo pants lol. I hope they fit well is all i gotta say, and take good care of them.

I'll spend a good chunk of change on shoes, boots, or jackets (these all serve a functional purpose and cheap ones are just not built as well as more expensive ones), but Most of my shirts pants and everything else are purchased from Target or Old Navy. Occasionally will splurge on a nice pair of Levi's for… $60.
I am about to buy a suit for my wedding in September which will cost around $400, but that's multiple pieces and will be the suit I wear to all weddings going forward so seems like a sound spend.

Those pants are really cool!!! As long as you wear them and don't get rid of them in like 6 months I have zero issue with it. I think that style of clothing is pretty cool.
I've bought more expensive costumes before, so the most expensive piece of actual clothing was my wedding dress at $250. It was organic cotton and it was lovely.

I think about £200-£300 on a double layered Northface jacket and coat that you could wear separately or fasten together and wear both.
Worth every penny, had it about 4 years and it's still in tip top condition with no issues. My previous coat was in a right state after 4-5 years.
Edit: those pants make you look like you're about to embark on a highly covert mission to do some plumbing OP. A grand?!

Of course I'm sure a lot of expensive crap is just actual crap in terms of durability.
The most expensive thing? Probably a pair of dress shoes. Allen Edmonds, probably cost around $300 and I got them in 2017 I think.
Zero signs of falling apart or anything and still the primary dress shoes I wear. Probably need to buff/polish them sometime soon though.

Outside of a suit (few hundred a couple of years ago), I think around $200 for the 007 No Time to Die Adidas shoes.
I never buy expensive clothes otherwise.

Just spent £1400 on a wedding suit, but I guess technically that's 3 items. Hopefully I can get more use out of it after the big day though. Previously it would have been about £80 on a coat so this is waaaaaay out of character for me.
I work outside and replace my boots for around 2-300 dollars every few years, but we get a slight reimbursement for them.
My most expensive/regretful clothing item is a heavy duty Marmot down jacket that I can never wear because I live in California, which was about 300 dollars at the time after a store discount from a job I worked.

A purple tweed blazer for $450
A green tweed blazer for $400
Multicolored jeans for $300
A Captain Haddock turtleneck for $300

Due to phrasing I want to followup. Are you saying they are unlikely to be in style within two years and therefore it is a bad investment? The you will not bat an eye makes it seem pro purchase but the end seems negative purchase.
I spent about $250 for some john elliot sweatpants. Well worth it since they've lasted years but at the time i had huge buyers remorse lol
