@T4920 those Balenciaga jeans look like they got shit in, I'll say that.

[Giles]

I shit in my Iron Hearts when I saw the pic of them.......

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Giles you could probably sell those for a mark-up...

[goosehd]

@Giles Probably could sell them now for a couple of thousand! Giles originals...

[goosehd]

...fuck, I'm getting slow.

[Giles]

Not too slow. I have not just sent you a PayPal request....

[WhiskeySandwich]

A good buddy at work (who prides himself on being so frugal that he bought knock-off Hey Dudes) just said to me "Those jeans look like you spent way too much on em. I'm gonna say $80."

[endo]

He knows the score.

@WhiskeySandwich sounds like jealousy to me..

[WhiskeySandwich]

He’s a good dude and we mess with each other lol. But he’d flip shit if I spilt the beans

[jordanscollected]

Don't tell him the truth @WhiskeySandwich. I paid $80 to have a small rip fixed in my LB's. don't tell him that either

[WhiskeySandwich]

Nope I learned my lesson the first time. You either get it, or you don’t. That’s fine because different people are into different stuff. The only person you need to justify it to is yourself…. And maybe the spouse… lol.

[Mizmazzle]

@WhiskeySandwich my wife is an accountant. Not easy sometimes justifying to her. Then I check something off the list she’s been after me to do and reward myself with a new shirt once the job is done. Haha. Figure I’d earned it at that point.

[Matt]

I’ve used this logic as well but for some reason Katie does not value taking out the trash at $400.

[Mizmazzle]

Yeah, I don’t exactly get over enthusiastic praise for my logic that’s for sure. But it does avoid getting yelled at.

[Brian]

I have a squirrel account for these sorts of situations works well

[T4920]

I always answer the question 'Nice X, where did you get it from?' with 'eBay' regardless of what it is, or where I got it from.

Only recently did a friend do a little digging after noticing the IH tag on numerous shirts, and wouldn't stop banging on about how stupid it was that I decked out in about £1,500 worth of clothing in a shitty pub on a Tuesday evening (he's probably not wrong tbh...)

Funny thing is, he earns significantly more than me, but has waaaay less disposable income after his huge mortgage and the associated costs of raising three children.

We all have different priorities eh, if life goes to plan, mine will change in future too, and I'll just cherish the lifetime wardrobe I'll have had previously acquired

[Giles]

Well said Tom. I hate it when people apply their values to your own. In this case, his are fine for him (maybe), and yours are fine for you. Advice and judgement not required….

[goosehd]

Yep, some people like nice clothing, some people like their wine and spirits, some like to snort it and inject it into their veins…we just like to take numerous fade pictures of our crotches and post them online for everyone to look at

[WhiskeySandwich]

@T4920 this is pretty much the identical situation to what I described earlier. Its funny cuz i've never really thought of myself as a 'clothes person' either. This is just the path that my dissatisfaction with disposable shit led me down haha. Living in a pretty humble house, and having already invested in the collection of toys I'm content with, allows me to enjoy quality threads at my income level. My priority is basically to ensure the kids and wife are more than taken care of, and if I have some left over, get a shirt maybe lol
