I find the thought of trying to replace the stuff in my wardrobe that's no longer made or isn't as good as the old stuff while being much more expensive (Helmut Lang jeans and sneakers, Chester Barrie or CB for RLPL sportcoats and suits, Pringle/Ballentyne/McGeorge cashmere, RLPL polo shirts without the goddamned horse, a beautiful G1 flight jacket I picked up at Carroll & Co a few years ago, Luciano Barbera buttondowns, and so on) to be depressing.
