interesting and valid points all round
What I am really referring to are off-the-shelf shirts. A tailored item is going to cost more and probably be worth it.

I think what I am struggling with is that I would never find a shirt worth £100 regardless of the quality of cloth or stitching or pattern. I just don't think it would make that much difference.

With regard to Primark socks though, almost all my socks are Primark black sports socks. They are very cheap, very comfortable, don't have raised seams over the toes and if all your socks are the same there is no problem matching them up.

My approach to shopping is this: find what you want, decide what you think it is worth, then find it on sale somewhere for that price.
