Cheap stuff/clothing that you enjoy

[Get Smart]

buttondown collar shirts from LL Bean. Cheap at retail, a $10 visit to tailor gets them to fit the way I want it, and has a nice collar roll.

my timex watch, simple minimalist design and easy to wear with anything.

Martin and Osa outwear and blazers on sale.
I picked up their military style pea coat at 50% off (it cost be about $100), gray flannel and navy corduroy military style blazers at half off as well

I like my Uniqlo Japanese selvedge jeans. And I've been wearing Clarks desert boots since I was 15 -- I still wear them with anything short of a worsted suit. I also have some American Apparel organic cotton undershirts that I find quite comfortable.

Costco Kirkland BD dress shirts (the older ones, made in Mauritius--I don't like the newer ones made in China. Cost more, seem cheaper.)

Costco Kirkland wool, made-in-Italy "Fancy Pants." The most recent pair seemed to be made of a flimsier fabric and less generously cut. I think Costco is cutting quality to keep price point rather than maintaining quality and raising price commensurately.

Target polo shirts (although I don't wear polos much)

Target khakis, especially the "Legendary Golds" that cost only $10.99 or so and have held up amazingly well.

Just about anything I've gotten from Lands' End.

- My wife, god bless her for being cheap. Thinks Im lunatic for spending what I do on what I do.

Haha, no. Sorry, that post probably would have worked better in S&D.
