Let's see, what do I have on right now:

Jumper: C$30 but bought for C$15, gods bless staff discounts
Jeans: C$25 I think I picked them up at a Zellers.
Socks, Underwear: I dunno. Cheap.

However, the outfit I wear when I'm trying to look really good:

Shirt: £20
Jumper: £16
Jeans: £35
Shoes: £35
Belt: £10
Coat: £180 (full length leather trenchcoat, looks nice but the Matrix has ruined trenchcoats more than Columbine did) Sad to say, this major purchase was an impulse buy.

I have a long kazmir coat (ok, it also has kazmir in it) which I thought make me look very nice untill I was compared to a ghestapo officer and a KGB agent. But they are jealous of my coat HAR HAR! It's burned now unfortunately in an accident in some party. A careless swedish IIRC guy (you hear that Buck?!) holding a cig made a whole in one upper sleeve. oh well. I have to get it fixed. It's from Artisti Italiani, a Greek company.

mine isn't leather, so I got it for around 100$. It's just what I wanted, a black trench coat. Damn the matrix, damn it to hell.

The clothes I'm wearing are so old I can't even remember what they cost. Probably something like €100 in total (pants + sweater + long-sleeve t-shirt).

I have two Sunday suits, wouldn't know how much they cost since they were given to me as gifts, one dark and one light.

Right now, pair of 20$ Jeans in good shape and a 10$ sweater. Socks and the rest probably a couple of bucks.

The only shirts I have that cost more than 20$ are with my suits.

Shoes, generally 50$ sneakers and 75$ dress shoes. No idea how much my wardrobe would come to.

I go clubbing.

Pick-axe handle- £10.

I know- £10 is a bit steep, but you can't stint on a good chunk of hickory.

What was I wearing last night?

Calvin Klein black "easy fit" jeans- £60.
Julian Cope "Head On" black T-shirt- £12 from a merchandising stall.
Black heavy-duty leather biker jacket (not a fashion biker jacket. A real one, with kevlar)- £250
"Wood World" steel-toed black looging boots- £40.

All black, so they go with everything else. All good quality and heavyweight so they last years. I buy the good stuff, then wear it until it rots on my body.

Baseball bats are for girls. Pick-axe handles are beautifully-balanced and weigh twice as much.

i don't go clubbing myself... mainly because I don't have a handgun. you don't go clubbing if the clubs you go to don't require you to conceal a gun some way (in your boot, covered by the cuff of your pants, tucked in your girl's bra strap, etc.) too much **** happens at real clubs for you to go in there unarmed.

Actually, it was one of the cheapest in the shop it was bought from Expensive shops seem to have the best sales IMHO, so much I pick up cheaply from very high-class shops. I only spend £33 on it because it was particularly apts for both my job and uni course. And I love it of course.

$200 for a shirt? I thought clothes in the US we supposed to eb cheaper than here? Even over here, anything except for a unique item by a decent designer, bought in a boutique, would be less than that. 'Normal' shirts, ie. those bought in department/chain stores, even by expensive designers, wouldn't be over £150.

Dare I ask what it was that cost that much?

I get that too. My dad said I looked like KGB agent when I got it (I don't want to know why he knows what a KGB agent looks like). I love it though. I got it first 'cause it made me look older, but now I just think it's looks great. Best buy I ever had. It's also practical, since Cashmere is about the warmest thing to make a coat out of.

However I am still annoyed that it looks so much better on my girlfriend than it does on me. Then again, if I were the coat, I know where I'd ratehr be

Only in the states. Since we don't have guns here, you can be safe when you go out clubbing. Personally, I prefer bars with late licenses to clubs. Although i have good memories of Luxe

It's true, most close at 11 here. However in Northampton, which isn't even a city, we have a selection of bars with 1am licences. I rarely have a problem with it, although I do favour licences being later.
