I don’t think anyone on this thread has seriously used cost per wear to justify buying Meccariello. People jokingly throw it around on this thread about how they’re rationalizing a purchase with it but nobody is seriously calculating it out or thinks they’re coming out ahead.THE MYTH OF "COST PER WEAR": This is a mini-rant, please excuse me. My main point is let's please stop using this mistaken idea of "cost per wear" to justify our purchases, especially shoes. Most often we hear this bad advice from YouTube menswear folks who like to say something like, "The cost per wear of a quality item" eventually pays for itself -- or at least makes it cheaper than a poorer quality item. This assumes so many things (incorrectly). For example, I used to wear $130 dress shoes, the same pair five times a week and every six months or so, I'd throw them away and buy a new one. My AMs cost around $1000. I wear them, at most, once a week (if that). Sure, they'll last me a lifetime -- but think about this. First, the cost per wear is spread out over 20-30 years. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of finance knows what you're actually doing is "freezing" $1000 (or let's say $870, since you'd have to buy those crappy shoes) when you could actually be investing it in something that has a return or simply buying groceries and gas. Second, you'll have to eventually resole those shoes. Let's say twice in your lifetime -- and each time is basically the price of a cheap shoe (or two). And third, and most damning of all, to get the cost per wear down to the $130 shoes, you'd have to commit to wearing these once a week for 30 years -- and hope you live that long or that your tastes/feet don't change. Are any of us that committed? I have about 15 shoes in my rotation and I'm always ready to add more. If you want to justify your purchase for some other reason (saving the environment, for example), go for it! Bottom line: Don't try to use a silly justification that doesn't make sense or, worse, fall for a YouTuber trying to sell you something. Just buy those shoes! (And don't let your wife know.)
yeah, we all might think that and argue that with the first pair, but once you get a dozen pairs in, you know you're not in it for the cost ROI over time. you like the shoes, you wear the shoes, you pay outrageous amounts for new shoes. such is the cycle.I don’t think anyone on this thread has seriously used cost per wear to justify buying Meccariello.

"Such is the cycle." Well said! I'm just grateful that I'm in a position where I can afford these shoes -- and that I work in a field where the expectation is still suit and tie, five days a week, so that I have a job that provides cover for my purchases!yeah, we all might think that and argue that with the first pair, but once you get a dozen pairs in, you know you're not in it for the cost ROI over time. you like the shoes, you wear the shoes, you pay outrageous amounts for new shoes. such is the cycle.
there is an ROI in dressing well generally though in a professional setting (or a step above the rest). when i began dressing a bit more sartorially oriented several years ago, it got my boss at work real worried, and shortly after i got a raise (not saying this was the only factor, but it very well may be one). trouble is the effects are so soft, its hard to measure in any concrete numbers. i digress.

I'm sorry but you wear a light navy blue jacket with tan windowpanes and a light blue glencheck patterned pants together???
