some designer things are worth having
my calvin klein and ted baker underwear for example are incredibly comfortable and look good. however, they all came from tk maxx so weren't horribly expensive.

but to more than double the price of a shirt purely because it has a tiny bit of stitching or a not visible logo is absurd to me.

my nicest shirts are pretty fancy, one of them was £45, but I bought the other at the same time for a fiver, so I figure that makes them very reasonable when considered together.

edit: k2k6 - nice to see you for a start, and secondly, well put. I suppose it depends on how much something is worth to you.

I know very clearly how much things are worth to me, and if they are more than I won't buy it, or I will find it at the right place elsewhere.

For instance, had to buy a new wetsuit yesterday. no fucking way I was spending £220 on it, so scoured the internet and found it for £160. much more reasonable.
