How expensive is your...

My friends say I have very expensive taste. I don't consider expensive taste, but more for a taste of quality which almost always is more expensive. I always buy top brands. It is almost always worth it if you can. The moment I have enough for the cheap brand I put my head down and save for another week or whatever and buy what I know will last and won't have to re-buy. I do draw a line though at which you're just paying for the name, however there is always better quality for more price in everything you buy. I wear Ralph Lauren dress shirts a lot not because I have expensive taste but because instead of paying $20 for the same shirt at walmart that will become a pooty color, or fade or lacks proper stitching will only last a year while a nice $50 ralph lareun shirt will last you 5 years.

I call it quality taste, or better yet more 'expensive initial costs taste' because it has a more expensive initial cost but over time you will save a lot more. I bout some radios for a business a while back. I could have dropped 1k on come cheapies, but those were the ones I was replacing after going cheap the first time lasting one year, but I dropped 5k instead. I got fancy ones with a lifetime warranty, best ratings and could get wet/dropped. I am just now, after almost 5 years making my money back and I have yet to use the lifetime warranty. The radios preform flawlessly like new and have another 5 years left in them.

So I am more of a you get what you pay for guy but I won't pay for just a name it has to mean more quality.

Unless of course we are talking presents to women becasue to them a name is the ONLY thing worth buying for some reason :).

Instead of Ralph Lauren shirts, try non iron Brooks Brothers. Not only are they made better, they require (almost) no ironing, and you don't have a logo on the outside of the shirt.

I have found some of their cloths, including the non-iron button downs, to be very poorly made unless you go the custom route.

BB Sport, yes. The classics, no.

I have some of them that I have been machine washing for over 5 years, they still maintain the non iron aspect, don't show any fading, and only one of them has had any thread problems. (I own about 20 or so)

Buy hey, whatever floats your boat.
