What is the most expensive "mistake" in your wardrobe?

Five years ago on tour in Japan I bought the baggiest No.3 Evisu's at some store in Tokyo. I intended to cop a pair of No.1's in a slim fit, but I was in a hurry and too new to denim to notice the quality of the 3 wasn't the pre-war loom stuff I'd been nerding out over or to know there's a lot other brands in that city that'd fit my style a lot better. As far as the questionable fit, everyone in the Japanese hardcore scene then was rocking this 90s gangster rap look and treating it like it was timeless and I got caught up in the moment for an hour or so. I immediately regretted it by the time we left for the next city.

To update my earlier post, my jacket is getting tailored from a japanese 48 down to a runway-fitted 44, at the Ave. de Montaigne Dior store. That means that the most expensive mistake in my wardrobe would be this silk Prada shirt. It cost $1200, and I have never even worn it. It's for sale in my listings, if anyone is interested

Bought a Rag & Bone blazer to flip along with some Pierre Hardy heels, got lazy about posting them and they've been sitting in my closet for a couple years now. Overall about $1000 tied up there in things I can't actually wear (very seriously considered putting a pair of PH in a superswap package during v5)

back in my pre-distressed denim days before i discovered the joys of raw denim, i got this crazy ripped up prps jeans with ridiculous fades for like $350. Very very soon after I switched to raw denim so I only wore it like once. Eventually ended up giving it away.

Evisu Denim Jacket from DrJays ughh so atrocious. Somebody told me that the giant painted Evisu logo on the back was nice. Good thing I bought it on sale.

haha... i fell into that trap as well... worn less than 5X and it is hanging in my closet as a good reminder of money wasted...

Prada Riding boots. I can't put them on with the heavyweight denim I am so fond of wearing and I live in 110 degree weather most of the year so they just sit in my closet these days.

Chanel black patent leather blazer!!!

It was so awful I sold it on eBay and bought a steel bracelet for my Technomarine diving watch with the proceeds

Currently No mistakes - either clothing or footwear!!

I'm getting the hang of this shopping lark - an expensive hobby!!!
