John from Reading sent us this picture of an outfit he wore to work the other day. In many ways, it’s a pretty quiet, straightforward work outfit, but John was proud to point out that he’d spent only $150 or so on the whole ensemble, soup to nuts.
Here’s his breakdown:
Jacket – Lands End Overstock – $500 down to $80
Shirt – Gitman Brothers – Thrift Store – $3
Trousers – Bills Khakis – Warehouse sale – $20 (I live in Reading PA)
Belt – Brooks Brothers – Salvation Army Family Store – $1
Shoes – Cole Haan – $200 down to $50
Socks – Gold Toe – Clearance bin – $3
Tie – 100% Silk, made in USA, UPenn store – Flea Market in a retirement home – 25 cents
Silk Pocket Square – Yard Sale – 50 cents
That’s something we can get behind.
