it's really hard to guage what a good price is.

some of think it's perfectly OK to pay $1000 for a CCP shirt

the problem with buying stuff from chain stores like jcrew and banana republic is

that the shit you purchase will have 0 (or close to it) resale value. like a 70 dollar vest i wore once from banana = i sold on ebay for a buck plus a 5-dollar s&h.

my suggestion:

get expensive button downs when they are on 75% off sale

problem solved

the barneys near my house stopped carrying steven alan b/c

the sales people realized that noone is this area would pay 140 for a washed button down (as told by one of the SAs).

@ steven alan stores, shirts rarely, if ever, go on sale.

i haven't been to the new outlet store yet...

yeah, but you're not buying a jcrew button down as an investment.

sometimes

buying regular priced jcrew and banana items can be more expensive

than buying a margiela shirt if the timing is right

i consider clothes, to some extent, as investments
