Amazing that there are just off the shelf nfc tags shaped like clothing buttons.
It makes me wonder how many of my clothes already have an nfc tag permanently attached, but I don't know because I never checked.

Wouldn't they trigger the detectors at stores?

#16Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sometimes I wonder if people notice that I wear the same 4-5 shirts over and over every week. All of my long sleeve shirts were bought I think from Sears back before their fall, so my cost-per-wear has to be astronomically low by now.
Anyone who is bothered by that is not someone you should care about
'noticing something' is neutral. 'bothered' is indeed not the way.

#17I like the trick I learned to hang all your shirts with the hanger the wrong way. Then when you wash them, hang them normally. Each spring, if a long-sleeve shirt is still the wrong way, it's time to get rid of it. Then I hang all remaining the wrong way for next fall/winter. Short sleeve get culled in late fall, with the rest reversed for next spring/summer. Like the author, there are a few I hang on to, for practic…
I've sometimes had items of clothing I disliked for a decade, then suddenly found extremely great.
But I do agree with the practice for short-sleeved shirts (not t-shirts), except the time for culling is not late fall, but rather, if applicable, early afternoon. Somehow it's an item strictly reserved for middle-aged overweight bus drivers in my neck of the woods.

#18Wow, that's a lot of clothes! I wear like 10 [t-shirts,socks,underwear] and 2 pairs of [pants,shorts,footwear] and replace them at the thrift shop (except underwear and footwear) when they wear out. Counting jackets and hats and sportswear and more-formal-wear (i.e. shirts with buttons and collars) it can't all be worth $500.

Funny, I looked at his $3,907.65 total estimate and though that it's quite low for an adult.
Consider though that OP used retail prices, not thrift shop.

#19Can't relate. No Ren-Fair costumes? No gardening boots, gloves or shirts? What about hiking clothes? I own about 4 mundane shirts, 3 pairs of pants. That's it. Not much to track for me.

Unless clothes are dirty or you smell bad, people really don't care about your clothes, you're not the center of the world.

I had the same reaction, though for me I have a bunch more tshirts, most of which I didn’t pay for. I just keep two piles of shirts on my shelf. In the morning I take the top shirt off the “active” pile. Clean shirts from the laundry go on top of the other pile. When they wear out they go into the garage as rags.
Side note, I think cost per wear should factor in laundry costs. I suppose you could consider that just part of overhead if everything is just wash & wear, but it would come into play if you had anything that needed special treatment (suits to dry cleaners or something).
