Clothing is one of the most RIDICULOUSLY priced industries there is (among cars and technology accessories). $100 for a pair of pants that has maybe $2 worth of materials in it? No fucking thank you. Blow it out your ass, clothing companies.

I'll echo what just about everyone has said. Learn to shop, either online or b&m, it is not difficult to find a decent jacket for <100. I think I paid like 45 for mine at JCPenny.

I buy clothes rarely and on sale, and I take great care of it all. Nowhere did I say I don't own any. Nowhere.

Spending tons of money on clothes doesn't make you hip, or elitist, or cooler; it makes you a fucking dumbshit.

Shoes also do not deserve to cost over $100.

If you still live in the U district there should be several thrift stores to shop from, you can find last years styles in them. Also the windbreaker with sweat shirts underneath is a good idea.

Get a genuine 100&#37; wool Navy Pea Coat - not the Chicom knockoffs, I mean a US NAVY issue. Should be able to get one that is essentially unissued for about $25 on ebay or your local surplus store. The warmest and always fashionable coat!

What? No. TridenT can't shop at a thrift store, that's for poor people.

winter + before xmas = not really onsale

nonsense


I got one about this time two years ago for $20 at JCPenney. It's a NorthFace-style fleece shell with some protected areas on the coat (as in, fleece isn't exposed 100% across the jacket). It's actually pretty nice - I was looking for something of that style but I wanted to avoid paying over $100.
A nice basic black fleece jacket.

WTF go to Walmart, Target or such.

you want a warm jacket that will last a while? go to a farm store and get a "farmer brown" one. sure they are ugly but they last and stay warm.

there is no reason you can't one. stop whining and go do it.

A fine quality jacket makes the man. It says "I've arrived and now that I'm here I don't have to wear ill-fitting, deconstructed third world garbage anymore." Women will immediately recognize the wearer as a man to be taken seriously, a man they want to get closer to. This kind of quality can't be had for $40 or $140. Quality men's winter jackets start at $300. I paid more for my current winter jacket than I paid for my first car.*

*This part is true, it's a really nice jacket and it was a really crappy car.


lol my last jacket cost about 3 times my first car. it was a 1980 honda Accord hatchback. cost me $25! my last jacket was $89
