Got a clothing catalogue recently, sent to the previous resident at our place.
In one of the Terry Pratchett Discworld books, Sam Vimes muses about the rich actually saving money because they can afford to get stuff that lasts - ie, buy boots that last years, instead of buying cheap boots that last three months, and having to buy multiple pairs. Also, not having to buy stuff, because the previous generation already bought it and it is stored up in the attic somewhere, waiting to be reused.
This clothing, to me, is that sort of clothing.We have been feeling pretty pleased with ourselves, because hubby managed to buy some work shirts (old ones literally falling off back). At $65 a pop, we will be looking after them. But guess how much the little jacket pocket square costs?! $79.95. I'll leave you to guess the cost of the other stuff Mr Serious-Beard is wearing. (you're welcome to submit any estimates!)
We can't think who would wear this - not Obama, the celebrities would be paid to wear it, we wondered about finance types, or CEO's, but it seems a bit too country estate-ish (you have to admit it is definitely dapper)?
Our only answer - cosmetic surgeons? (The ones that do the celebrities?) Any other thoughts?
I hear there is a growing economy in tattoo removal... maybe that comes under plastic surgery though.
