how much is the most you have paid for an item of clothing?

Andy From Sligo · 08-09-2016 3:00pm #1

Heard advert on radio this morning about a pair of men's jeans on special offer of €49.99 :eek: -

I admit here that I am a €9.99 Penneys jean wearing kind of guy. The least I have paid for a pair of men's jeans is €6.50 the most once €14.99

- The Most I have ever paid for a Shirt is €12 I think.

And i get pretty good wear out of a pair of €9.99 jeans from penneys to be honest , they are OK for knocking around in everyday use - would you really get any longer lasting wear out of a pair of jeans that cost €49 quid rather than a tenner?

(Hope this hasn't already been discussed on Boards or I will get it in the neck

)

That the most you've ever spent on a shirt is €12 is far more shocking than a pair of jeans being sold for a perfectly normal 50 quid!

I bought a coat made from the fur of a Siberian Husky.

"How mush is that coat " ? says I .

"How mush have you got " ? he said.

50 quid jeans feel better, look better and last longer. In my experience anyway

Well this is totally down to the jeans themselves in fairness, not the price. . .

I'd always be on the hunt for a bargain but I never seem to find nice jeans for €9.99. Jumpers & Jackets too.

Don't shop in stores as find it too time-consuming & monotonous. Do all my shopping online (know my sizes) on Asos or MandM Direct, generally much cheaper anyway. Generally wouldn't pay over the odds unless it's for a good pair of kicks, trainers or shoes.

I bought a Tommy Hilfiger tee shirt years ago in America. Cost about $200. Wore it about 5 times. I was about 20 and living at home at the time.

I was planning on wearing it a bit more than just the 5 times but my Dad saw fit to wear it one day while he was mixing concrete to pour a floor.

$40 per wear. Not the best value ever.

MeatTwoVeg · 08-09-2016 3:12pm

Probably â‚¬650 on a suit.

I look amazing in it though, like a slightly out of shape James Bond.

livedadream · 08-09-2016 3:13pm

i have a few pairs of €600- €400 shoes,

a dress that i got for an event that was over €700 but i do wear it all the time. (well once a year maybe...)

edit: if my boyfriend asks though they were all 9.99

lovely stripey effect one as well, think it even came with a tie in the packet for free, got it from Heatons I think - its a bleeding shirt at the end of the day innit

Shenshen · 08-09-2016 3:23pm

I think the most was probably something like €100 for a winter coat.
Oddly enough, I find clothes that are really expensive to not suit me at all. I've got a cheap body.

How much are we talking here?

Andy From Sligo · 08-09-2016 3:32pm

Cannot remember the last time I ever bought a new jumper/pullover. My mrs is always on the lookout for me in the charity shops and clothes swaps , I say if you come across a good jumper with no holes and its cheap will you get it for me. Sure its grand after a proper wash, as long as no-ones died wearing it or if I dont think of anyone dying in it I'm grand sure!

Ken. · 08-09-2016 3:33pm

The most I ever paid for something was €180 for a pair of football boots. Outside of that about €65 on a pair of jeans is the most.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 08-09-2016 3:33pm

795 for a pair of shoes

Wedding dress €3,450

Andy From Sligo · 08-09-2016 3:36pm

Anyone feel guilty for paying a huge amount on an item of clothing when there are people starving and homeless and in poverty? Just asking like. Or do you just feel guilty for spending a lot after you have bought the expensive item(s) full stop?

Hopefully the marriage won't last so you might get to wear it again.....

I'm joking, I'm joking

Olishi4 · 08-09-2016 3:37pm

My wedding dress was about 1500.

Other than that, some jackets and shoes for about 100-150. I don't spend much that often, just if I really like something and I know I'll get good wear out of it

Why would you feel guilty buying something if you've rightfully earned the money?

What if the item is for a person who is starving and homeless?

No because anything I own is because I've worked for it and I'm not going to feel bad buying nice shoes, nice bags or buying an expensive candle because there are people having kids they can't afford.

I'd imagine that anyone spending ridiculous sums on shoes, etc is way too self involved to care.

You can't live your life like that. If you've worked hard and are successful then it's your money. If you want to give it all away, that's also your choice, but don't feel guilty about something you won't do.

depends on what you consider a ridiculous sum...

your 40 euro could be a higher earners 400 euro...

Andy From Sligo · 08-09-2016 3:51pm

I would always be on edge if I was wearing shirts in excess of 40eur that it might get ruined. Had plenty of cheap shirts ruined by bleach stains, fading colour in wash, rips, worn areas around the collars and the like... But they are cheap so it dont matter. I'd be having kittens if that happened on an expensive shirt I had bought

Yeah most of those probably happened cos they were cheap and of lesser quality!

Andy From Sligo · 08-09-2016 3:55pm

Not really, you can get bleach, stains, rips, fading colour on any shirt or most clothes no matter the price you have paid
