Most Expensive Clothing Item You Own and How Much Did You Pay?

Burberry trench coat. I forget what I paid for it, but guessing 500+

I've never spent more than 400 on a suit. I have an Armani tux that I got married in. That probably cost a bit too, and I haven't worn it more than half a dozen times.

I try and avoid the expensive stuff. And the cheap stuff too

I've spent $220 on a pair of 3sixteen jeans. I wore them almost every day for a year and a half. I'm happy with my purchase even though I am not rich by any standards. However, I now wear $90 Gustin jeans and they are almost the same quality. I probably won't buy >$150 jeans again. I have a $1000 Hugo Boss suit that I wear probably 3x per year and has lasted me for 5 years so I'm happy with that too. I also have a $500 Brooks Brothers pea coat that I got for $200 on clearance and I'm also very satisfied with that purchase.

The only things I regret buying are stuff that doesn't fit perfectly and I settled for good enough. I don't do that anymore.

Vasque Hiking boots. Got em for 105, originally 175.

I'd probably say a suit, as well, but in terms of regular clothing probably a nice Mountain Hardwear jacket that I think I paid $400 for. I really don't own anything that expensive. Most of my shopping is done at Kohl's or JCPenney. Good stuff relatively cheap.

a full length mink coat given to me by my husband. I didn't buy it, he did, but it was about $4000.

The most expensive item of clothing I own is a winter jacket which cost $900.

What is the single most expensive clothing item you own? I'm sure for most people on here it would be a suit, but I'm interested to see if anyone on this site has actually spent like $100 for a "luxury" tshirt or something like that. I know jeans can get pretty costly.

Please note that watches/belts/neckties or any "accessory" do not count.

350$ pair of boots

Ouch. Next time do a little more research. Hugo Boss suits are terrible quality for the price. They are literally glued. You can do much better at that price point.

but but but but... the 19 year old in a shined-out suit at Nordstrom said it was high end.

I also spent $310 on a pair of Red Wing Boots. They say you should spend your money on two things: your bed and your boots, since you're either sleeping or on your feet.
