I read this twice and realized that you would spend more on your jeans than your entire outfit combined!!

The man knows what he likes...

I've spent way more than all of that previously, but the New Way will be polo shirts and jeans for the foreseeable future. Additionally, most anything can be thrifted, but jeans that I really like can't be, so they're a justifiable expense.

I'm unable to compile a "$ per item" list .

In my case, it's more a function of how long I've been visiting SF.

All I do know is that I'm willing to spend more nowadays on "quality" than I was a few months ago on "fashion".

Sorry I can't be more precise. Still got a long way to go.

More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.

I have a handsome Timex I could be persuaded to part with. Do you care if it's actually running?

I could show up for work in a bathrobe and no one would probably care so I wear suits for recreation as well. With that in mind:

Suit: $1000
Odd Jacket: $600
Dress Shirt: $200
Dress trousers: $300
Overcoat: $1000
Jeans: $200
Casual jacket: $300
Shoes: $500
Belt: $150
Accessory: $50

I wear old Timex watches so I doubt I would spend a lot of money on a watch these days.
