Plain doesn't mean that it doesn't have a "name" that makes it the trendy thing to have and spend way too much on, and just because all of your backpacks are free doesn't mean your wife uses them. Hey @scottalanmiller , does "Vera Bradley" ring a bell?
Oh I agree - never said plain doesn't mean no name. But is a nobody made that exact same backpack it would sell for $40 and no one would buy it.... but because some designer that the fashion industry gives credit to put their name on it... suddenly that $40 bag is worth $350... But hey.. if people are willing to pay.. who am I to care.
My wallet cares. Thankfully, my wife buys almost exclusively on sales and such.

So does mine - hence I don't buy those things - but I'll admit that I buy equally overpriced stuff because it has different labels on it..

Yeah his labels are things like Marshall, Jackson, PRS...

Mine are things like "Goodwill".

I think that I might actually be at a point where all of my shirts are either NTG corporate tee shirts or Goodwill button downs.

I don't really have any. I don't collect swag when I'm there.

I shop for clothes once a year under protest; usually at the behest of one of the ladies in my life.

Haha... this is pretty much how it goes for me... I generally come home and there are new work clothes on the bed waiting for me to try on.
