What was the most expensive clothing item you owned and how much did it cost?
I have a leather coat like the ones in the movie lost boys. I bought it in Korea in 1988 my friend and I each got one it cost us 60$ each back then. Had seen one in the leather store similar to mine the price tag was 700$. I know the can you sell it for that factor comes into play. My dingo boots are 130$
$650 shoes, limited edition braces $230 each, Cashmere business coat $550
@Redcupcoffee The shoes were made of ostrich leg and wild boar. I bought it at Norstroms. Don't know the brand name. I bought it about 25 yrs ago before I retired. I believe Nostroms still ell them. Don't know what the charge now.
I'm such a cheapskate I don't spend anything on clothes unless I have to, probably explains why I'm unattached, but £80 on a Minnesota Vikings jacket many moons ago
I got a real leather Vikings jacket at Savers for 8 bucks...made my week- that was two sizes ago...just got a 2X hoodie on EBAY that I could not fit into...China ....I have about 30 hats and over 50 shirts....SKOL!
@Purplefan2 Skol!
It looks as though most of us are pretty sensible...
Not that there is anything wrong with treating yourself on occasion!
How about you, redcupcoffee?
@Redcupcoffee
Wow,, good find !
If I wasn't such a hermit, I'd drive to Michigan to wine and dine you !
The most expensive clothing I buy are my boots, $75. But the most expensive thing I own would be the leather trench coat I inherited from my grandfather.
Suit Jacket from Jacobsens in Sarasota, years ago. Only when checking out did I discover why the service was so good. Lol. I wonder if I still have that now......
a 450$ shirt ! don't ask
@Redcupcoffee my wife bought me a hideous 250 $ shirt which we returned and I bought a much nicer one for only 200 more $ . those were the days ! now I go to marks work wearhouse !
I had a DAKS suit made by Simpsons of Piccadilly many years ago .The price still makes my eyes water ! It was blue serge . I looked like a Mafia chieftain when I got married in it .
Once spent $175 for a silk dress for my brother-in-law's high end wedding in Greenwich, CT.
Think I wore it once.
Probably the winter long coat I bought near the beginning of winter, and it was on sale lol. Was marked for $200, but I got it for $140. I try not to buy clothing that is overly expensive because it never feels like it is worth it. Modestly priced clothing, or real good clothing on sale usually do the trick.
I had a $300 suit, which I almost never wore, and a $200 down coat which I wear when I go skiing or out in the desert on winter nights.
About £800 ($1100us) for a made to measure leather 'Onesie'.
