Does a Man really have to go out and by $150 Jeans etc?

I sorry but if you spend $150 on a pair a jeans you are a mug. No matter how good the jeans are they would never be worth $150. Not unless you are going to personally give $150 to the person in the sweat shop that made them.

An average person isn't going to care two hoots that you spent triple figures on a pair of jean, if you tell them they would probably think you are nuts and clueless about money.

for jeans? I usually pay $60-$80. Most ive ever spent on a full outfit... lemme think...

Shorts (Military surplus style, i think they were Wearfirsts or Zoo York) $85
T-shirt (White graphic designed Quicksilver shirt) $50
Pair of Vans (hard to describe the appearance) $60
Zoo York Tribal Design Cap $40


so really that full outfit (not including socks/boxers) is worth around $235

I just wear and pick out at stored whatever i think looks neat. Cost doesn't bother me too much unless its like $120+ for one item.

Im one of the idiots that do....

I love my diesel and 7 for all mankind jeans, they feel 10X's better then any of the cheaper brands. I do my best to find them on clearance and sales... I have never paid full price for them, but even at 99.99 its still expensive. But I work hard and damnit if i want it im going to get it!

I spend between $70-90 on my jeans and I don't have a problem with that given that they last me years. I found a brand I love that fits me well so I go with it. If I can get it on sale, even better.

I think it's crazy that people will spend thousands of dollars each year on clothes. I get most of my clothes as gifts.

wait... i actually reemember that that previous one wasn't my most expensive.

back in high school, i used to be for lack of better words a hot topic addict. so i do remember spending at least $200 on an overcoat there just because it looked awesome.


as for what zoonic mentioned, I agree with that. because i try to have a style and keep myself clean and whatnot (doesnt mean my hair is neat, going for more of a grunge look currently, so its long and unkempt, but still clean). And because of that, my personality quirks usually get ignored unless i confront them acting like i do. (current personality is just an all-around pessimist with huge confidence issues, and a fierce hatred for a lot of society) Even then, sometimes Ive had women think angsty cute about my personality. Its just after they have gotten to know me a bit better they tend to lose interest.

From an L & D standpoint: Where I'm from women would think you were gay if you wore $150 jeans (assuming you're a dude). Living in a redneck state can save you money.
