Of course I have.


It's just that the concept of a "$2000 suit" means really a $500-700 suit.

And "$500 shoes" are really $200-250 when I actually pay for it.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but here's the process he takes to make a shirt.



It's definitely more than just stitching the shirt, as he puts in tons of time to make you happy. But it's still realllllly expensive!

That has nothing to do with the question of which one the general public finds more absurd.
