I always get Mrs H to guess numbers and say "higher/lower" until she gets to the number. She has learned to start high.

@EdH This sounds like a dangerous game.

IrishHeart

@EdH are you mad?

God, dangerous indeed. My girlfriend gets super squeamish spending over $100 on a piece of clothing — every time she expresses this, I'm full of this massive internal

WhiskeySandwich

@popvulture yup. THIS. ^

My wife knows that when I get into stuff, I go full tilt though. If she asks "how much?" I generally say "you don't wanna know." And we're all good as long as our bills get paid and the kids are fed and clothed.

EdH

Like I say, she used to underestimate. Now that she has learned the rough prices of IH stuff, she starts higher, and then is pleasantly surprised when I say "lower" three or four times in a row. It sounds insane, I know, but this method has anchored her expectations appropriately.

Having said that, my Crown Northampton cordovan leather trainers should arrive tomorrow, and I dread to think what she'll guess there... I'm probably going to have to explain that one...

It could be worse. After listening to the most recent podcast I looked at that shop’s website and couldn’t believe it. Makes IH look like a bargain.

popvulture

@Matt I've thought the same thing about that shop many times before, and didn't even realize they were the most recent podcast. Though pricey, can't say they haven't piqued my interest — I'd like to check out some of their jeans in person next time I'm in LA.

Matt

If it’s as good as or better than IH I don’t want to know.

@Matt said in IHSH-369-GRY - 12oz Slubby Heavy Flannel Herringbone Check Western Shirt - Grey:

Tell her you bought them used for half the price. Go on and on about what an amazing deal you got. It softens the blow.

this is usually what I do, but she's starting to catch on lol

Matt

It’s ok. Once you get enough stuff she won’t be able to keep track anymore.

Hilariously wicked and true

Decided this will be my “heavy flannel” for the year. Brown colorway was looking good but this takes the cake I think. Reminds me of the blue anniversary UHF that was overdyed giving it that old worn look….love it
