Excuses, "Reasons" & Justifications For Your Latest Purchase

Other clothing looks bad and feels worse.

I won't name names, but you know who you are…..
A few years ago one of my regular customers bought a shit load of stuff on Friday night.
On Saturday morning I got an email from him asking whether I had shipped it or not, and if not could I cancel his order as he could not afford to pay the Utilities let alone buy a shit load of Iron Heart gear.
I thought it a bit strange that this revelation had happened within hours of him buying the stuff. Anyway, I had not shipped so told him no prob and I would refund.
On Sunday I get another email from him (from a new email account), telling me that he did want the stuff and the "cancellation" was from his girlfriend who had hacked into his email account.....

last time in gosport tina told me not to by another shirt.
i went home, stopped "drunken smoking" since than,
and bought the shirt last week as a reward. -
"It matches" or "they go together."
"You can't build up a decent credit rating without accruing some debt. Don't you want us to get a nice house some day?"
Oh, and of course "It's expensive, but it's built to last. I'll wear these for the rest of my life. They'll pay for themselves you know. And I'm not accessory to working some poor third-world child to death."

Due to the wonders of technology, my wife gets detailed text messages any time one of our bank accounts is debited more than $150 in a transaction. Yesterday afternoon, following one of said text notifications, she asked me what I bought from Iron Heart. I told her what I purchased (IHSH-96 and a couple of tee shirts) and her only response was, "You're buying more tee shirts?"
She's very tolerant.

We need to learn from the master. Teach us oh mighty one.

It's not something I am proud of

Have those Viberg Smokejumpers arrived yet? "Honey I need these, they're orthotic."

Step one: “I need one pair of heavy jeans and one pair of boots because they will last forever… or at least several decades!”
Step two: “You know if I have two pairs of heavy jeans and two pairs of boots they will be able to air out and people won’t think I’m wearing the same thing every day”
Step three: (by this time it usually gets easer as the crazy denim jargon/lingo is now understood, accepted, and internalized) ”these (fill in the blank) are very nice, they will fulfill need: 1,2,and 3. Plus they will be perfect for application: 1,2, and 3… Etc…”
And so it goes…Now the addiction has successfully gotten off the ground.
