I've had some shirts for 5-6 years... I've had my bike for 1 year and it's a mess (granted it's cheap).
But really this argument is moot because you're just trying to justify your opinion, when it's just that... your opinion. Let other people have theirs

A shirt will not last as long as a bike, is not as complicated to make as a bike, isn't made from material as expensive as the hardware in a bike, and doesn't have to be as durable/etc as a bike.

So we hate a shirt for 425... but a bike for a 1000 (which people seem to love here) is ok... I bought my cheap as shit bike for under 100... more money is a waste to me. I can't imagine spending a lot for a bike, but if people want to, go for it.
Why be so angry and call people morons or stupid. It's just valuing different things with your money.
If you made it, spend it on what makes you happy.

If you can afford it, you can do whatever you want.
Pretty basic, too, if you do have $425 for a casual shirt, you are probably only shopping at places that sell things like that. So they have you, you are probably not gonna have a problem buying a tshirt for $100, $10000 for a watch, etc., etc., etc.

Paying Pentagram for their brand creed or getting shit done at Kinkos.
Pay $20 per invite because some special paper and printing? Print that stuff at home with a laser printer. Same crap.
Suckers paying for stuff like this. Better yet use evite to send invites.

Some fashion products have legit reasons to be expensive, instead of just a mark-ups or 'brand creds'. And if you like & can afford that & they're good on your body or better, serve you a purpose then yeah!
I've sewn a leather jacket made from a good local lamb nappa & good but ordinary hardwares such as YKK zipper. That could be sold around $400 direct. But if I were to use French or Italian lamb nappa (not much different though, except for the pigment coating) & some elusive hardwares like vintage Talon zipper then it could be easily goes up to $2000 direct. And if you are opt for gator skin...

True. What makes a logo worth $50,000 rather than one for $1000?

Why so expensive?
Because there are idiots out there who actually pay $500 for a shirt.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for good clothes and know the difference between brand clothing and cheap clothing.... but $425? That is fucking idiotic...

It's all relative.

some people have extra money to spend on clothing. they might spend $435 for a shirt like how someone with lesser means or a normal sense of the value of money would spend $50 on a button down at Macys.

I am all for buying expensive clothes, but I would never buy into a fleeting trend that will be outdated next season. I try and purchase things that are timeless, yet have a current feel. This is much easier for men than women, but I think the key thing to keep in mind is "price per wear."
If I buy a suit for 1,000 and wear it twice a month, but get 3 years out of it, I essentially have a suit that costs $14 every time I wore it ($1000/72). That's a good way to justify cost.
I have t-shirts that I wear all the fucking time that cost me $15 and have worn probably 100 times for 7+ years.Even with price/wear in mind, no way would I buy a $400 t-shirt. Fuck that and fuck Barney.
