Same. Bought a $600 leather jacket last month. But I also only own 8 t-shirts, 2 jeans, etc. And if I get a new t-shirt it’ll be quality and it’ll probably also mean I’m throwing away one that has become worn. I spend less money overall on clothes now than I did a while back when I’d buy a random $7 t-shirt just because I thought what it said was funny (and then wear it maybe once or twice before it getting lost in t…
Please feel free to advocate for a brand you like. I’m a 2 jeans 8 tshirts kinda guy too, and been struggling finding shirts that I’d recommend. Everlane ($ garbage), American Apparel ($ bad with new owners), Alternative ($$ so-so). Best shirts were the BDG brand ($ soft, last 4 years with weekly wear) at Urban Outfitters but they’ve been discontinued.

If you're like most people on this site (dresses like avg male SF dev) $$$ - A.P.C. $$ - Naked and Famous, Muji $ - Uniqlo U line
+1 I bought a couple of Uniqlo active t-shirts. Man, are they good despite being cheap at 20$ a pop. Wear them for running, office or even under a blazer. Super convenient. Only downside - it's made of polyester, feels great on the skin but it isn't a natural fabric.

Patagonia has some good t-shirts. They are just plain and boring, but are of great quality.

#57What is interesting to me is that this comes on a day when Bloomberg says "Americans are spending less on clothing". Full discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16322720
Combining the ideas of both posts: You can spend less if you buy more targeted-to-you and higher-quality items that you'll wear more often. Finding these items and customers is a data (and marketing) problem. E.g. I spend less overall than I did a few years ago but each item I buy is more expensive. I've learned the value in quality clothes. I give smaller batches of more money to well-picked retailers rather than lo…
This applies not just to clothes, but shoes as well. Buy a good pair of shoes and they will last you a lifetime. 300$ for a pair of Allen Edmonds seems like a lot but they'll last for 3 years of daily wear at the very least, and then they can be resoled.

Presumably because people were buying once every four years?

Patagucci is an overpriced joke for most things, unless you abuse their warranty policy. T-shirts are essentially free. A pair of jeans should cost you $30 and last for a few years.
