But you'll find a $20 sweater is just as good as the $80 most of the time.
Wrong.
I feel like there's no such thing as a $500 t-shirt, and if there was it wouldn't be nicer than a $40 one.

Now, the difference between a $5 t-shirt and a $20 t-shirt would be evident, but once you get above $20, you're really paying too much.

120 dollars for a white shirt designed by Kanye West and APC. Close enough because it's just as retarded.

But no, the quality of a shirt caps bout $100 which you can get for $60 or less used.
Of a shirt, sure the quality caps around $100.
But of a t-shirt?

No, $25 is being lenient in saying that the quality is still going up.

I have actually never bought a piece of designer clothing, but I like clothing a lot and I know the difference between a $20 shirt and a $100 one.
Jim, this is like me trying to say Holly carbs are the fucking shit yet I've never ran one on my car.
Mildly laughable, even is well intentioned.

It really depends what it is.

Jeans. I buy my jeans at walmart. You can get a pair for like 10 bucks there and they are just as good as the $40 pair of levis.

Shoes, I spend money there because you need quality shoes.

Dress shirts and Suits need to be name brand.

Everyone just take a moment and think about this:

You are arguing about expensive clothing, on the internet, with someone you will never meet.

Spoiler

I only wear solid coloured tees, so I'm not paying for some obscure media reference, I'm paying for the quality of the shirt, and the value caps out around $20.

Example: Right now I'm wearing a $20 target brand shirt which is less quality than my $6 Arizona shirts, which are in turn lower quality than my $15 Gap shirts, which are equal in quality to the $35 shirts I got at Banana Republic.

Graphic tees my be skewing you perspective of pricing.

>graphic tees

where the fuck did you get that from? Not talking about graphic tees

And BR is overpriced so shit example
I didn't say I paid full price for any of it.

The point is, unless you're dealing with solid colour tees you're paying for a bunch of unnecessary, and therefore unscalable things.

And I said it was overpriced myself, that was the point of the example.

The facts are:

-A $100 tee made of better materials and with better construction quality will be better quality than a $20 tee.
-Some people feel the higher quality of the tees are justifiable and buy them.

Whether or not you think it's worth it is purely subjective. I don't feel it is most of the time, and would only spend >$20 or so if I really loved the design of the shirt and I felt the quality was good. The point still remains that the shirts are STILL better quality, just maybe not justifiable to you price-wise.
You seem to have no concept of the value of a dollar.

I can get a tee that's just as good as any that costs $100, and only pay $20, and that's before discounts.

There are plenty of clothes that ascend in construction and material quality well beyond the hundred dollar range, but there's only so much that can be done with a tee shirt.

Do you not have anything better to do with your time than annoy me? You're like the mosquito that won't go stop buzzing around when I'm trying to sleep.
