When I lived in SF I didn't buy clothing except for socks and underwear. I only needed to visit a tech campus and I was stocked for the next year. I even have a pair of socks from Gusto I still wear.
These days I live in Europe and getting desperate. Before Covid the occasional trip back to Cali allowed me to restock. I even went and BOUGHT clothes from Macy's.
tldr; VAT and cultural norms make clothing disproportionately expensive.
- VBprogrammer 6y agoI'm sorry that this is being downvoted. I have a couple of t-shirts from tech companies myself. One from Stripe which is really nice but probably past its best and a cheap one from Cloudinary. I'm not sure if you are completely serious about never buying clothes, I've certainly never seen trousers on offer before but I'm convinced someone could get by on free t-shirts with little difficulty.
- ghaff 6y ago>couple of t-shirts :-) I normally go to a lot of events. Even without actively seeking them out, I end up with piles of t-shorts (which I do fairly regularly wear around home in the summer). I've given bags of them away but they still seem to accumulate over time. Very few of them are ones I've purchased. But, yeah, I've never seen a pair of pants as swag. That is something I have to periodically buy when they start getting ratty or stained.
- dgellow 6y agoDo I understand correctly that you would get pants from tech campus? That's new to me, I haven't seen this yet!
