s2000, miata, z3 are all the same.
$3000 dry carbon amuse hood vs. $500 seibon?
$2500 titanium exhaust vs. $150 tenzo-r?
they don't know, and they don't care.
that's what makes us so-called enthusiasts, and they will think we are retards.
i think the same rule applies here.

a 200$ pair of jeans? maybe thats acceptable
now paying 400$, and then having to bathe it in a bathtub of 56.3*F water for 9 hours, and not being able to launder your jeans for 3 years... sorry, sounds like everyone's fallen in a huge DUPE
spending $$ on fashion i can understand. how nut-wrapping girl jeans and grandma sweaters are considered fashion, i do not get

With a few exceptions, I'm curious to see what those who spend $100+ on a single pair of jeans are going to be wearing when retirement comes, or you get older and have more responsibilities.
I personally own 1 pair of jeans...from Old Navy...on sale. I don't get any fewer girls, lesser paying job, less enjoyment, poor comfort, or anything from buying $40 jeans vs. $100+ name brand jeans.
I can understand people spending alot of money on personal items, say watches and jewlery, that increases in value...but something that wears,tears, and deteriorates=
I do however, enjoy the thought of being able to enjoy retirement at an early age, with my payed for house, Porsche, and a wonderful family.
Just my .02.

Somebody who's not an enthusiasts probably doesn't care that the titanium exhaust weights less than 10 pounds, and they certainly would never spend the money on one, but at least they'd easily be able to tell that it's a heck of a lot lighter than the stock unit. The point of my question being - is there an actual qaulity difference between the two t-shirts? Could I tell a difference in the fabrics, prints, stitching, etc?
just like cars or electronics
"fit and finish" do exist in apparel world too.

what kind of a loser state of mind is this?
why don't you start eating $.99 mcdonald's meal everyday?
your retirement will be even greater.

1. Security (if anything happens they have tons of money saved.)
2. Ability to retire very early and maintain their lifestyle.
Just because they don't spend like you and I and buy fancy things doesn't mean they don't enjoy their lives.
