What was the most expensive clothing item you owned and how much did it cost?
It looks as though most of us are pretty sensible...
Not that there is anything wrong with treating yourself on occasion!
How about you, redcupcoffee?
@Redcupcoffee
Wow,, good find !
If I wasn't such a hermit, I'd drive to Michigan to wine and dine you !
$650 shoes, limited edition braces $230 each, Cashmere business coat $550
@Redcupcoffee The shoes were made of ostrich leg and wild boar. I bought it at Norstroms. Don't know the brand name. I bought it about 25 yrs ago before I retired. I believe Nostroms still ell them. Don't know what the charge now.
A pair of sneakers I bought for a trip. I needed a good sturdy pair of shoes to walk around in and couldn't find any in my size. The problem was I also had severe swelling in my feet and ankles from lymphedema, so even extra-wides wouldn't fit me. The only shoes that would fit were heavy clunky orthopedic things, but I was also going to be in a warm climate so I needed something lightweight. Finally found a pair that fit, I think I maybe paid around $150 for them. Wore them the entire two weeks I was away, and then never put them on again.
I suppose it would be my ballroom dance shoes, at $120.
I either bought clothes second hand or designed and sewed them myself. My husband, a dapper dresser and airline pilot used to give me money to buy special ultra-light, non-wrinkle travel clothing for our frequent trips, but most items were under $100.
$30,000 on my fully functioning replica batman suit from the cartoon.
@Redcupcoffee Totes
Probably the winter long coat I bought near the beginning of winter, and it was on sale lol. Was marked for $200, but I got it for $140. I try not to buy clothing that is overly expensive because it never feels like it is worth it. Modestly priced clothing, or real good clothing on sale usually do the trick.
Once spent $175 for a silk dress for my brother-in-law's high end wedding in Greenwich, CT.
Think I wore it once.
The most expensive clothing I buy are my boots, $75. But the most expensive thing I own would be the leather trench coat I inherited from my grandfather.
