At my MMA gym, they sell shirts(Shamrock MMA) I wanted to buy one for a while, but today I noticed that they are $23! I mean really, I understand maybe 15, but 23? What ridiculously priced clothes have you seen?

Aren't there any sort of discounts if you're a member (you called it your gym so I assume you go there regularly or something)? And $23 isn't that bad.

Pretty much all clothes are overpriced. Considering I get my 100% cotton t-shirts for $2.50, I doubt anyone other manufacturers have so dramatic costs that they need to charge so much.

Paying for the brand name advertising, not the quality of the garment. Just saying.

Abercrombie & Fitch and other preppy stores. Big name clothing as well, haha.

Make your own with a blank t-shirt and green markers and tell everyone there it's a limited edition version. xD Everything is overpriced to me. I like browsing clearance sections (especially shoes!). The two things that satisfy me most when I shop for clothes are: 1) Buying nice things for people I care about or like and 2) Reading the "You have saved (insert large amount) dollars today on your purchase!). I enjoy buying stuff at over 50% off so that the value I save is more than I spent. It's like eating very good ice cream to me. xD Edit: I own only like 3 brand name shirts, and they were all bought on clearance. I mostly wear cheepz print t-shirts of superheroes I buy from clearance sections (I once got 5 different Captain America tees for 10 bucks total!). xD

lol $23 isnt overpriced, Affliction is overpriced going from like $40 to $70 for shirts, and they have everything else overpriced as well (but i must admit from having 1 Affliction shirt and 1 pair of boardshorts they are comfortable).

Shoes are extremely overpriced at stores. My Nike shoes are usually sold around 80 dollars at places like Shoe Palace/Finish Line, the Nike Factory I bought it from only cost my 35 dollars.

But department store clearances offer godly savings sometimes. Once got a pair of Puma running shoes that are normally about 85 dollars for 12 bucks. I was drooling from the savings! xD

All Brand Name cloths are overpriced. It's made for like 10cent and sold for 10$ + That's why Capitalism runs on idiots to buy these cloths. So when you say look I have "Brandname clothing" you're saying "I spend 10$ on a T-Shirt made for 10Cents" I don't get the appeal.
