I have never been that type of guy that wears a suit and tie 24/7, I can say I was/am the opposite, the classic jeans + hoodie let's say.
Eventually, I had some Shirt that I used for certain jobs where I had to stay on computer and thus appearing like semi-professional. I was still wearing jeans and some sober sneackers but I can definitely say that the shirt, even without the tie, was a nice touch.
As of today, I decided to buy a simple business suit, you know the classic elegant man outfit, the one that you wear for a job interview, or for a wedding, or a funeral...you know.
Something like this: (Just the upper "jacket", idc about the pants)
I looked for this everywhere, even at the Chinese shops where they basically counterfeit everything and gift it to you for like $9, and surprise, this piece of shit was $84.
I don't understand this whole concept. I mean, there is literally nothing that Chinese, or knock-off brands can't counterfeit, sneackers, heels, jeans, sweatshirts, hoodies, shirts, t-shirts, socks, underwear.... I can go on forever, but guess what. This shit, even with the lowest noname brand, costs at least $60.
I first thought I was looking at the wrong places, but even on AliExpress, on F.ing AliExpress, the most basic suit (jacket only) is more than $50.
Whats the deal here, are they made with hair fibers of a blonde virgin or something, why are they so expensive, why there is literally no cheap choice?
My jeans are like $15, the shoes probably $20, and all the rest is under $15, and I don't look like a homeless person, I'm just like a normal guy that doesn't shove it the Armani logo down to your throat.
So why am I not "allowed" to buy this stupid jacket? What is this elitism?...
