It is good to have different people in the world. The article starts with "Have you ever wondered whether expensive clothes are worth their price?" I have never wondered that, no. I'm 49 years old and I'm not sure I have ever purchased an expensive clothe.
I have, however, wondered whether an expensive screwdriver is worth its price, but I have not collected the data to support my Wiha habit.
- fat_cantor 2y agoYou would know if you had purchased expensive clothes before. Due to autoimmune issues and a change of diet, I lost a lot of weight and could not afford retail clothes. I found a $300-retail shirt for ~$5 at a thrift in LA, and because my skin had become more sensitive, I noticed a huge difference compared to the cheap dress shirts that I had worn before. It's even more dramatic with nice wool. Perhaps an equivalent question is whether air conditioning is worth the price. Yes, if you can afford it, and it's not even close. And don't even get me started on knives...
- maicro 2y agoYou may be interested in the youtube channel Project Farm then - I don't know if he's specifically tested Wiha screwdrivers, but Wiha performed well in his recent pliers test video[0]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUklhL1cGqY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUklhL1cGqY
- lizknope 2y agoSame here. I've never cared about expensive clothes. I've probably spent less than $500 on all my clothes for the last 5 years. On the other hand I've spent at least $30K on computers and camera gear the last 10 years and bought a car for $65,000 last year.
